i ran into an odd bug. on my second run at awakening, i was in the forest looking for the elf mage attacking caravans and the circle mage, when i headed to the bridge where the 1st cut scene for the elf mage, and i was warped to the elf camp. I headed back to the bridge, saw some frozen enemies wait just before the bridge, and i was able to set off the cript for the elf mage when i got to the bridge. .

I downloaded and installed the 1.03 patch in hopes of fixing frequent crashes with the Awakening. If anything, the crashes (or "stopped working") increased in frequency to the point of making it vertually impossible to complete 15 minutes of game play.



As a temporary work around, I have found that saving after every combat and about every 5 minutes of play seems to keep you going.



This is a terrible patch. Can this patch be removed...I'll take the longer load times in exchange for longer play times.

It's all about revenue for EA and BioWare and kissing up to their shareholders. The customers be damned. Quality assurance, safety, and reliability are the last things they care about. They know about the bugs and they know about this and other forums. The are fully aware that some of their customers are angry: But it matters not to them so long as the revenue keeps coming in.

I would believe this about EA but not about BioWare.  EA owns BioWare and tells them what to do and when to release stuff even if its not ready.  EA is about revenue and they are destroying BioWare in the process.  From what I've seen from BioWare I can drop the blame of all of this crap completely at the door of EA along with a bag of flaming dog poop.

Unfortunately, there's no way to roll back. Only thing you can do is reinstall the game and patch to 1.02. You'll have to look around to get the 1.02 patch though, as only 1.03 is available on this site.

It's worse than that...in hidden ways.

If one installs Awakening, the 1.03 patch is part of the install.

However (and I've no idea why this seems to be the case) the 1.03 patch that's part of Awakening seems to have *fewer* stability problems reported than the 1.03 standalone patch.  And that makes *no* sense since the patch should have been the same either way.

(still playing on PC1 [desktop] with 1.02+ DLC + many mods and 1.03 [laptop] plus a very few mods...and crashing like crazy on the latter.)

FilePlanet no longer has the 1.02a patch, I did find it on FileFront however (I also have it backed up; I'll upload it to a file hosting site if needed).  You'll need to uninstall & remove all folders (including Character Creator, MOD Manager, override & files in your My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age folder), then reinstall & patch back up to 1.02a.  If you don't remove all files in these folders (safer just to delete the whole folder), then you'll run into patching errors when you try to repatch (I ran into these errors also); you can back up your Character Creator, MOD Manager, override & save folders beforehand, but they cannot be in the destination folder when you reinstall.  The 1.02a patch is more recent than the 1.02 patch; it can be found on FileFront here.  Xfire only has the 1.02 patch, but I'll see if I can get them to upload the 1.02a version patch since I have some connections over there.

Thanks for that info about the old patch. In hopes of using Qwinn's fixpack (which fixes the pickpocket and dog issues) and reducing my load times I installed the new 1.03 patch. Crash, crash can't go through one battle without a crash. Never had a single crash in over 300 hours of playing under 1.02. So, one giant reinstallation later, I've got all the mods I like, all my items, I can steal things again, and long load times don't seem so bad now.

[GalenDev]

I can't beat the Archdemon anymore...



No matter what I try, no matter what addons I turn off, I cannot get through the Archdemon (or the following cutscene, the one time I did beat him) without crashing.



I even tried setting my processor affinity as recommended by the unofficial FAQ, and of course, that accomplished nothing.



At this point, I can only assume the patch is responsible. There's simply no other viable suspect.



BioWare... you really screwed up on this one.

Flixer;

Sounds like you had your own copy of 1.02 available.  Glad to hear you're back in the game.  Are you running with >4GB (well, technically, 3GB) RAM?  If so, the Fallout3 "Large Memory  Flag" header fix might be useful.  Seems to have totally cured my CtD-after-1.03 issues.  See the posting by akanounnikoff on page 31 of this thread.

And the "Steal_Dog_CD" mod also seems to be doing it's thing for me, so pickpocketing is once again a useful skill and bothering to interact with Dog (after the first set of Camp scenes) isn't a complete waste of time.

Eversince patch 1.03 got installed i havent had any noteworthy problems except for some very specific spells crashing my game. Sofar ive been getting crashes from using a mage's Mana Clash and the templars Holy Smite and Cleanse Area. most of the time when i use one of those spells the game just instacrashes.

Listen to your community, test and do something about it dammit ! Way toomany peeps having problems here.
As for who is to blame, i dont give a flying **** whether its bioware or ea, i just want a working product for my cash !

[DrakePowers51]

well here goes.... I could not transfer my 1.0 character to awakening so I replayed DAO as a dwarf noble. I niticed audio skiping, laging and random crashes on 103 forceing way too many hard saves for my taste and as for DAOA that expansion just plain is broke and not worth the time to play it. The list of my bugs in that game is extensive and no advice from any cite on how to properly prepare Oghren to get his faction high worked for me. I even witheld all his giftes and carried them over to DAOA and they diminished with each gift. I have caught him standing around back at a last fight I have has just swinging at nothing repeatedly, took control of him to move him no go and he never follows us from that spot untill I exit the zone. very funny. spending three hours going from place to place looking for the first merchant to save on one play through while fighting a dozen other random encounters untill I she showed up only to repeat that experiance waiting for the Dalish encounter for that personal quest was equal to the fun I have at a prostrate exam.

The short of it is this DAO on 102 is great and has good replay the rest of this is an excercise in frustration so I fled back to ME2 only to have announced that they plan in July to add a feraldin planet in which my grey warden can import into shepards crew. Just a wild guess here but that is going to mess ME2 up. I haven't gone through open heart surgery yet so I can't compare that to this new announcment but I can imagine it will be as enjoyable.

[Popeandy]

Wow. I thought I would stop by and check up on this thread and see if Bioware has done anything or said anything. Looks like a glaring NO. Sad, just sad. Well be back in another week or so to check on the progress. In the meantime as usual my copy of Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening sit gathering dust. And this experience really makes me afraid to see what will happen of the Old Republic MMO. Or maybe that is it, all resources are being poured into that game at the expense of others such as Awakening. Well one thing is for sure the players got screwed badly and not in the good way.

First: I did the same.
Second: WTF? Are you kidding
me... a planet ferelden and you can import your DA character... I do
hope you are kidding. I'm going to look for this announcement and just
hope you are kidding or this was sime april fools prank of Bioware's
otherwise I have serious doubts I can trust them with another game in
the future (with the exception of Mass Effect 3!)

Thanks for that info.  I've only got 2GB of RAM
powering the game though.  Qwinn's fixpack seems to be working ok with
1.02 so except for the increasingly long load times (which WERE fixed
by 1.03, btw) I'm golden.

Yes, that's what I meant.  I usually back up all patches, mods, and other game files, but it is nice to have older patches available on the game's website - for example, I really appreciate how Blizzard keeps all the Diablo II patches up on their site, since everyone has their own idea of which game version is supreme.

[JamesMoriarty123]

Seriously now, where the **** is the patch to fix the CTD issue? Getting toward the rediculous end of the scale now guys...

I think you may be a bit too optimistic here.  Perhaps another month or so.  I doubt anything would happen in a week's time.  In fact, I begin to think that BioWare has given up fixing the 1.03 patch.  There is zero sign towards they wanting to fix anything.  Really (if you count collecting error report for a month as a sign, that is).

[WonderGamer]

If they didn't want to fix anything, then they wouldn't make patches at all.  The fact that they make patches shows that they are at least attempting to fix bugs with their games.  Patch 1.03 turned out to be a dud in my opinion though, seeing as it only caused more problems than fixing them.  I do understand that Awakenings is more stable than Origins with patch 1.03 however, which makes me think that Origins doesn't need it (at least not until they fix some of the major bugs that appeared in 1.03); the only downside is that the newer DLC requires the newest version of Dragon Age to be running.  Although it does seem that they are ignoring the problems with this new patch, it might be that they are trying to address all the bugs that have been reported here in a fix for the patch; although I tend to disbelieve that, let's just hope that is the case...

I delayed my purchase of Awakenings and 1.03 upgrade based on everything I saw in this thread... but, in the end I couldn't resist.



Just played through completely and had only 2 crashes for the whole game and no lag. I also had no problems transferring my Origins character.



It may be because I'm running XP on an older PC (dual AMD Athlon 6000+ 3Ghz with 2GB RAM and NVIDIA 9600GT with 512MB).

[Desasosiego]

Crashing Age: Origins?



Not a nVidia driver issue, nothing hw/drivers after much tweaking here and there... this patch just made my game crash, wich it never did before, and it didn't solve the performance degrading over time.



A rollback patch would be MUCH appreciated.

[LuPoM]

Is there any actual ETA on a mini patch/hotfix for Awakening? Expecially for the Approval bug?

I've been on travel for work for some time and even before that I've left Awakening unplayed near the epilogue becouse of that freaking bug -.-

In my humble opinion, patch 1.03 has to be out because if it doesn't, they won't be able to sell Awakening at all.  Awakening needs patch 1.03.  That doesn't mean they would care to fix the game after they have made money from Awakening.  At least not the signal I have got.  Sorry.

Lag and Crashes


Game slowdowns occur intermittently, often severely, which result in crashes for some. This lag occurs most often and is most severe when loading between cut-scenes, during combat, or when looting corpses. Loading to a new area or restarting the game will often delay the problem for a time.

err, is there a solution to fixed those bug?? its very annoying in my pc...........
Lag, Lag, Lag..........because, its never happen, when using v1.02 patch........

Before 1.03, I never crashed to desktop. Now I do often during battles. I have attempted the final battle (at least what I think is the final battle) four times, and each time a crash to desktop. And there is no rhyme to it -- it isn't always some big spell or graphical affect. I actually can't finish the game because of this. The absolute worst.

Also, this just proves to me -- more and more -- why console gaming is going to outlast PC gaming.

[flixerflax]

PC gaming is already considered a dead relic in a lot of circles anyway - if you believe what you read on the net. The fact that PC RPG's like Dragon Age are still published at all is somewhat amazing. Soon enough it will all be console FPS, sports games, and Grand Theft Auto, with an occasional port to PC, for which you'll need your 360 controller to play.
