I get random interval CTDs also. more often than not it seems. My specs are as follows.

Windows 7 x64 (just recently did a clean instal after HDD failure)
E8400@3.732Ghz
8GB RAM
2x GTX 260 core 216s SLI @712/1512/1188 with most recent drivers (still crashes at stock clocks)
New HDD without any problems
Creative X-fi xtremegamer (most recent drivers)
G15 Gaming keyboard and G9 mouse with most recent updates

Also of note is that my libraries are all up to date (VC, .net, and DX).

I would like to see this fixed ASAP. I am tired of having to redo as much of the game as I have had to do. One last note is I own this over Steam.

hey Bio can we at least get a "**** you" from you guys about this abortion of an expansion and patch??? these issues are inexcusable...



and if it's true you're so full of $$$$$$$$$$ that you no longer care being ElectroWare now at least show up and give us the finger instead of being cowards and staying silent.

So, regarding my earlier post about DA not working on my Win 7 64-bit PC since 1.03 and EA telling me that it isn't tested on Windows 7 OR 64-bit,

1) I got an email survery about my tech support experience.  0's across the board.

 2) Since I have the Steam version, I backed up my saves, deleted local data/files, and then completely re-downloaded and installed everything (including DLC and Awakenings).  I haven't had a crash since, but I only played it for about 5 hour.  Prior to that, I was crashing at the same place EVERY time.

 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....

Never had a single crash until 1.03 - now random crashes time after time again. Went to the forum and saw I was not the only one...Considering that this has been reported by so many ppl for a month now I find it odd that Bio do not adress the issue. Hello BioWare?

I've also been getting a host of CtD's since installing patch 1.03 and the expansion, always seems to occur during combat and casting spells. Never had any issue with the game prior to installing the patch but now it's really unstable.



Specs are:



Window 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

Pentium Quad Core Q8200 CPU

8GB RAM

ATI Radeon 4600



Hopefully a fix comes out soon.

I cannot finish the game because it crashes to the desktop during the final boss fight. This is incredibly infuriating, since the battle is long, and it tends to crash when the boss reaches about 1/3 to 1/4 health. I've put 40+ hours of my life into the game, and I would like to finish it! It's been marvelous up until now.

This issue may predate the 1.03 patch, but I had not had trouble with crashes until now.

System Info:
Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium (service pack 2)
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU (2.4 Ghz)
3.0 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce 8800 (512 MB)
DX 11, Dxdiag - normal


Dude, I had EXACTLY the same issue, it's the 1.03 patch without a doubt. Finshed the game twice with maybe 1 random crash under the 1.02a patch. Thats over 100 gaming hours with 1 random crash. Patch 1.03 I get like 100 crashes over my 48hr playthough, no exaggeration.

I also could not defeat the Archdemon on my chosen difficulty (Hard) as the battle went on for too long and I crashed everytime before I could kill him. In the end I just changed down to  "easy" so I could nuke him and end my game. :( Sucks.

One thing I've noticed for all my crashes is that they occur everytime I'm fighting a boss mob (orange named) or it's an elite encounter with a cut-scene attached to it beforehand. Always seems to crash when key mob gets 50% or less health and a spell is cast.

Same problem here - after installing Awakening (and the required 1.03 patch) game often crashes - especially in heavy combat when you have to pause the game often.

Just keeping the issue current. If Bioware sidestep the CTD issue (which is CLEARLY the most important) for some random "Oh an item has vanished" lame bug, I will not be amused.



Get the game running first, then take care of the other stuff.

yeah, I've also started to experience crashes every 15 min or so, mostly during fights. The game just closes, and I'm back at my desktop. I'm running Windows XP on my macbook pro. Haven't really had any problems until the 1.03 patch. Also, I don't have any mods or anything, just awakening and the patch.

I dun think they even gives a ****e anymore since they collected our $$ and is laughing to the bank.



I, for one is not gonna buy their game anymore. Totally unacceptable to release a broken game to the general public who pays for it. Thanks for the trip from Baldurs Gate to DA:Origins.



Oh and my crash is random from loading to another area to casting mana clash at darkspawn emissary and it crashes.

Well I havent play extensively but the one issue i have with awakening is when i create new game and try to create char it shows nothing like literally all stuff is gone... No options or anything for char creation. Everytime bioware came out with dragon age parts like the game first came out they had epic corruption files issues. now for awakening i see that they are having epic crashes... My game yet to crash but then again i havent tried to do much with my premade chars i had from orginal game.

Edit: A few days ago i got new video card just b/c my game used to lag up to Nvidia Geforce GT 240 1Gig Vid Ram.... my other games have played much smoother and ive yet to crash or anything.

Glad to see I'm not the only one w/ this problem. Like everyone else here I had no problems w/ crashing until v1.03/Awakening. Now it crashes w/out warning. Very frusterating. Hopefully some Bioware mod is at least reading these forums and putting this on there list of things to "fix" in their next patch.

Well I posted on the gathering thingy and YES no Victor on sight and YES i can cook and YES tremendous CTDs since 1.03.



Let me reiterate I reverted back to 1.02a and no massive CTDs every few minutes. I really don't mind now the regular two hours slowdown bug with 1.02a. In fact I already proposed to this fine lady (massive and overwhelming sarcasm and pun intended).

All I know is I have Windows Vista 64 bit, a quad core, and 4 gb of ram in this thing, but I keep getting this dragon age has stopped working thing. It happens after about 2 hours of play time. With the earlier patch on a horrible computer (which I'm surprised even ran DA) it never crashed. I hope bioware fixes this soon.

Bump. Same issue. Can't finish the archdemon due to crashes while casting spells late in the battle. Since 1.03 I've encountered this problem in several large battles. It seems to happen most when multiple spells/abilities are being activated at the same time.

specs:

Windows 7 x64
Core Quad Q6700 @ 3GHz
GTX 295 (latest nVidia drivers)
8GB
Asus Xonar DX

1.03 patch bug ever since the patch my game crashes if combat runs more than 2 minutes. First it slows down then it freezes then crashes.Before the patch I ran the Game Video at max. Now it crashes on on lowest settings and over heats. This is the worst patch they ever gave me for any game. Now it's unplayable as I cannot Keep doing a Hard shutdown (IE POWER BUTTON) I would ruin my PC. And not even control Alter delete works.

Really dose suck. And Again Biowear pretending there no problem!!! It's Like MassEffect 1 heat problem all over again. They act like if they pretend there is no problem it will go away.

Or back when KOTOR 2 and all it's bugs and broken Quests Never did get fixed.
This is total B#llSh%t EA got start Firing managers Biowear out of control and there President more concerned about being like by his Friends Than Caring about the Customers.

Never investing $60.00 in a EA game again. **** EM!
