It would be interesting to know what they say when someone calls tech support and says that it's crashing every five minutes. Do they say "Yah, we know about that problem. Suck it up until there's a patch for the patch. Is there anything else I can help you with today?" or do they actually try to do some troubleshooting?

I've uninstalled the game and toolset, then started out with fresh install patched up to 1.02, and think I'll just happily play and mod this way, putting off 1.03 and Awakening until fixes become available. By that time, the expansion will probably cost less, and all will be good.

The first thing to do is remove ALL 3rd party mods and see if that solves the problem. There are known conflicts with Awakenings and Innodil's Pocket Plane, and AIS Emporium. At least for me, the problem seemed to be with the mods that created new areas, etc...the strictly cosmetic ones seem fine.
I have Chargen's, Pineapples Trees, and CC Tints and Tones, and I have since readded them without any conflicts/crashing.
Before installing Awakenings, I also patched from the Awakenings DvD on a "clean" install of DAO, just to make sure there were no corrupt files, residual mods, etc...I might have missed. No crashes since then.
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit with an ATI Radeon 3870 x 2 HD, 4 gigs RAM. I updated both my video and audio drivers before installing Awakenings as well.
The problem started with the 1.03 patch even before Awakenings was released. Rolling back to 1.02 helped, BUT...you need 1.03 to install Awakenings, or else you will get a "failure to install" message.

Well I have all the most updated drivers, I un-installed every mod (only had pocket plane / rune armor / cosmetic change to two characters) and still having issues. I posted my spec's in a previous post so no need to do that again. And to the above about the tech support call I believe the standard response from every gaming company I have ever dealt with, "We are looking into the issue, is there anything else I can (not) help you with?" Well most anyway. But maybe that is just my experience, I do wish everyone the best of luck in trying to find a solution within the player community as it has been what is it 10 days of silence on this issue now? I pre-ordered and waited so long for this and now DA:O doesn't even work *shakes fists*

None of the fixes have helped me. Looks like I'm going to be stuck waiting for 1.03a to come out.

Don't have any mods or high res, nothing special at all and since the updated patch the games crashes. Where was the testing?

I'm getting a consistent crash at the Sloth demon fight, too (normally when it changes forms). I'm unable to continue from where I am and I'm completely stuck now

Yep. Time and time again someone will chime in maybe its this... same answer as before it's the patch. How much longer must we wait for so much as a response from Bioware?
*BUMP*

The cynical part of me says that we'll stay without Dragon Age at least this weekend. And surely most (if not all) of the next week

Correct and that is the issue though really. I don't think there is any doubt that the patch is causing problems, however the difficult part is that NOT everyone is affected by all the reported problems. Additionally, a few posts are indicating some folks are resolving the crashes by lowering resolution and/or removing mods. To confuse matters, some folks are reporting things as "bugs" but have existed or are not bugs (example DLC items, other than RtO, not transferring...FAQ explained this.
I think folks were just trying to toss out ideas based on experience both with DA:O and other other games. A few folks (myself included) have not experienced the crashes. The one thing that stood out was those reporting no problems were not running mods that altered/changed/overwrote game mechanics or files. Which explains why these people are saying remove the mods and try starting a NEW game to check for crashes before doing a uninstall/reinstall. Another thing that seems to be common in the reports are higher resolutions (particularly 1900 X ?). That's not saying other resolutions aren't having issues it's just what is being reported frequently in threads.)

Patch 1.03
Didnt crash before this patch. Crash always happens in a fight but no dif if i'm fighting 3 people or 15. Don't happen every fight. Thing is I can fight the same fight right after and not crash. so random as far as that works.
Been waiting for a fix or at least an answer from EA/Bio. This is starting to get old.
ME 2 runs perfect like DAO did before this patch. It's through steam so I can't unpatch it.

Can anybody please try the following:
I noticed that for me the crashes occur only when I'm logged in the profile (inside the game).
When I'm logged out then there are no crashes (only sometimes and only upon exiting the game).
Can anybody else verify it?

I'll try it with my Sloth demon issue, along with playing in windowed mode instead of fullscreen (somebody said it should fix crashes, too), but I'm not optimist about that.

I also have constant crashes after installing 1.03, no matter what situation.
Hope they resolve this quickly....

I hope so too, but Bioware has been extremely quiet about this on-going issue that so many have.

11 days of 1.03 and I've only seen one mod say that Bioware was looking into it. That's kinda worrying.

I agree, what makes me wonder is how did they not see this major issue before release, I mean, it does make the game unplayable, how can they not have detected it

I know it was likely because EA was pushing them to release it on schedule that this was started by but it seems like they want to continue sales of Awakening by ignoring the problem. Sure they are likely working on a solution but it's just the whole not acknowledging it is what I am getting sick of.

I know, when I buy a game, I always look at requirement, if I meet the requirements, I expect the game which is selling in stores to be working. Sitting at my computer looking at this game, which I have been anticipating for months, gathering dusts because its unplayable really ticks me off.

As I said in a previous post that is all they would respond with
Maybe the sloth demon found it's way into the office and the dev's all fell asleep on the job?

Yea I would like more than a 50 dollar pile of plastic with dragon pictures on it as well.

I'm sorry to say this, but if I were Bioware's chief, I'd say to the devs to stay working all the weekend until a solution to the crashes is found and published. It's just incredible someone could release a gamebreaking patch (which some of us CANNOT decide if to install it or not (-Steam user-)) without the appropiate prior testing. It's highly unprofessional, and damages a lot the company image.
But well, they'll know what they're doing...

AMD x4 Black Edition Phenom.
16gig ram
ATI HD5870 (x2) - crossfire
Win7 system builders X64
i dont mean to brag, but black friday deals at new egg, i got this, my comp for about $800.
never had any problems with DAO, DAOA, ME1, or ME2.
From my expierence, i would say get rid of vista. regardless of 32 or 64, i HAD it on my laptop, and upgraded as soon as 7 came out.
All i have to say, is that Bioware is doing a great job. Sure there is problems, but it doesnt compare with the "red ring of death"
Awakenings was just launched, so give it some time
