Game suddenly laggy? Help would be appreciated

Hello!

 

I have a gaming notebook and I used to run Inquisition satisfactorily on it in the past on medium settings, which are also the settings the game recommends for me. I was even able to switch some of the settings to high without noticable fps drop. However, now that I bought trespasser and wanted to come back to playing, the game runs just aweful. I switched every setting to low/ very low/ off and even decreased resolution to 70%, but still: when I run the console command to show fps it drops below 30 when I look around or move to somewhere.

I would of course think that this could have to do with hardware not powerful enough, but again: It worked quite well in the past

 

Specs are as following:

GPU: GeForce GT 650M (two times, SLI enabled)

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz

Memory: 8.00 GB RAM

OS: MS Windows 7 Home Premium

 

Drivers are up to date.

Thanks in advance!

The performance of the game has decreased since certain patch (or DLC) there are a lot of people suffering lower framerates than before, myself included. I used to have 74 avg fps with everything in Ultra (except MSAA and FXAA both disabled because MSAA is a framerate killer in DAI and FXAA makes the image blurry and I hate it) and now I have 61. Use the GeForce Experience and see which graphics settings recommends you, it recommends me now lower settings than before.

 

Try using borderless window instead of fullscreen and see if it increases your framerate, in some cases it does.

Thanks for your reply!

I used Nvdia Experience and it sets my game settings slightly higher than what I tried in game already, so it still stutters all over the place. If it makes any difference: the biggest performance hit I get is when I set textures higher, while other settings make little to no difference.

 

It's really a bummer that it doesn't work, since I bought all the DLC and now I can't even play them :(

Other things you could try that had worked before with previous versions of the game is disabling Origin overlay or playing in offline mode.

 

To disable origin overlay right click on your dragon age tile in origin and select properties, there you should check "disable origin overlay for this game". And to go offline, click in Origin on the top left corner and click "go offline".

A lot of people seem to have suffered a performance hit recently (seems to coincide with Patch 10/Trespasser), but no-one seems to know the cause or when/if it will be fixed. I dropped from ~70fps (@1440p) to ~58 with an MSI 980Ti Lightning. I tried rolling the NVIDIA driver back, but that made no difference, so one has to assume its a change in DAI that has caused it.

It would be nice if Bioware could let us know that they are aware of the issue and if it's something they are working on fixing.

I don't have overall reduction in performance but one scene in Trespasser literally slows to a crawl. About halfway through the first conversation with Varric, I am hit with ~1fps movement and the scene then takes several minutes to complete what is only a few lines of dialogue. This is the only place it happens though, and it's done it in 3 different games. If I look at the temp on my GPU, it slowly goes down as if the game isn't even using the video card at all. Temp goes back up when the scene resumes normal speed. I keep most settings on medium but even changing them to low had barely any improvement. It's the weirdest thing.

 

I also had the same issue talking with Varric post-Adamant if Hawke was left behind. However, the last time I had that scene it worked normally. Maybe my computer just doesn't like Varric.

I already disabled origin in game. playing in offline mod also did not seem to do anything.

Yes, yes It would be. I hope a fix is underway. Oh, well, I guess I will just have to give up on playing on my notebook, which is a shame. On the plus side I will be back to my country soon enough and hopefully will be able to run the game on my regular gaming PC.

 

Still, since these peformance drops affect so many people, I hope BioWare won't just ignore the issue and at least investigate.

There is a new patch available, it returned my game to 74fps avg. You should try it, might improve your framerate and stability.

I hope things don't lag in the Deep Roads anymore in Trespasser. The constant delayed reactions left me confused and annoyed.

I am back homenow and have access to my desktop computer and it works well enough. Still a little more stuttering than previously, but I only had to change to change a few settings to get a smooth picture. Thank you though for taking the time to help me.
