Add me to the list.
Installed fresh copy (CD version), installed fresh copy of Awakening (CD version), updated as demanded by game.
Started fresh character in Origins - want to play the game with all DLC and then start the addon with this char.
Original game now crashes about every hour. V1.02 not a single crash in 60 hours - now random crashes: mainly at loading screens and in combat. Tried Awakening with new char, just the same.
Writing this with a quite a load of anger because i can't finish the original final battle with the dragon because of constantly crashing. Thinking of reinstalling game as mentioned and NOT updating beyond 1.02 before finishing, but wanted to say:
WHAT A BULL**** QUALITY ASSURANCE!
edit:
After a horrible night of testing around i think i can pinpoint three main crash situations:
- Frequent loading of savegames: When loading savegames often, every load takes a tiny bit longer, goes up from a few seconds to nearly 30sec. In this condition game seems to become unstable, crashing randomly at certain actions when zoning, speaking to NPCs/traders or engaging battle.
- Frequent zone changing: When I walk around in Denerim, say checking every door and every quarter of town, sometimes games starts to stutter - meaning: The "rally party" dialog blends in in steps, not smoothly. Just before zoning and loading screen i can see my party standing around again and then the loading screen blends in with a "lag".
When this happenes, after zoning the game is sluggish/lags, feels like framerates dropped to half. If i am dropped right into combat (i.e. world map encounter), when mages start to cast, warriors start to buff, game really has probs, stuttering like crazy for 2 seconds and with a chance of 90% crashes.
- Third may be linked to above: Sometimes in heavy combat (like 20 dark breed with ogres and mages) it feels like somethig breaks down in the engine.
When i pause often, switching around my chars and giving orders, changing camera angle a lot - after unpausing the game suddenly "chokes", "lags", "stutters" - not really bad, but noticeable. After unpausing, game crashes often on my own next action (keypress, mouse click).
As said, never had ANY problem in V1.02 in two complete play throughs (~100 hours). Hardware and drivers have not changed one bit.
Only changes:
- Installed DLC (Return to Ostagar)
- Installed Awakening addon
- Patched to V1.03
So something of that is to blame....
