Another constant crash victim here. I did have a crash every now and then in Origins, but I get crashes around every half hour in Awakening. Frustration! Please, BioWare, tell us how to fix this. Or better yet, patch something!

Specs:

Windows 7 64-Bit
4GB DDR2 RAM
AMD Athlon X2 6000+
nVidia GTX 280

I wish I had more to add other than being verily pissy about the crashing. Usually I get over in a few seconds, but when it happens at the end of a battle i have had to restart already my boy-manties get all bunched up.

Basically the game stops down to the desktop, the windows dialog saying that it is trying to determine the problem pops up, and then goes away saying it couldn't figure out the problem.

Windows 7 64-bit
ati Radeon HD 4670
8GB DDR3 ram
intel i7-860
deluxe steam version +dlc

blargh.

edit for formatting.

Looks like no reply from Bioware on this. I'm really surprised. Having been a loyal customer of theirs for many years, this seems very out of character. EA really does screw everything up.



I'll be working on this issue for a customer of mine tomorrow, so I'll post if I find a workaround.

[Valorefane Dragonwinter]

Sorry for the double posting, but this might be a workaround for some people. I'm interested to know if this works for other people or not.



A short blurb of the situation: Bob and Tom (obviously made up names showing my lack of originality! lol) both play DA:A on the same machine. Bob has the problem where the game crashes the system at a certain point in the game. Tom doesn't have this problem. The problem didn't occur until after the 1.03 patch. Because it happens for one of them and not the other, it's an issue specific to Bob's user profile for DA:A.



Basically, I wrote down the video settings Tom was using and then reset Bob's settings to match. It lowered his video, but not so much that the game doesn't still look amazing.



Let me know if this helps anyone.

I am having the "Awakening shuts down my entire machine" issue here, not just a CTD like a lot of people. It's highly frustrating. Was thinking it was something wrong with my hardware, but if everyone else is having problems too then it might not be that at all. Happens pretty consistently avery 15-20 mins, doesn't seem to matter what I am doing. Just finished playing through StarCraft 2 without a hiccup.



Here is what I'm running.



Win 7 x64

3 Ghz AMD Dual Core

8800GTX

8 Gigs of RAM



Hope we get some sort of answer/fix soon.

Area effect seems to kill it constantly for me too, my computer is Windows 7, with a decent machine behind it.

Bioware/EA really should take a closer look at those multi core systems that crash constantly - playing with one core is absolutely not a valid solution eventhough it makes the game stable.

anyone downloaded the 1.04 patch and still have the problem?

This thread is really old!

I have tried to play the game twice now and I am still in the first zone because the game crashed my computer...

No blue screen of death...  No exit to windows...  No frozen screen....

Just....  OFF

I play the game for about 20-30 minutes with no issue/lag/anything and suddenly...  BAM...
The first time was in the Virgil's keep interior...  the second time was right when it introduced Ogrin...
I played the entire DA:O original with zero issues so I don't get the problem.

My specs...
Quad Core Extreme processor
8800 gtx
4g ram
vista 32
playing the steam version...

The report above is incomplete.  We do not know what "BAM" means.  I sort of think it means that the power supply choked, but can't be at all sure.  The entire 8n00 generation, especially the laptop cards, was plagued by bad firmware that ran the cooling solutions incorrectly, so the cards frequently overheated to the point of damage.

The second commenter offers even less in the way of useful problem identification. 

Blue screening never happens with power supply deficiencies, and if the GPU has shut itself down from either heat or inadequate power, there would be nothing on screen to see, other than the display's notation that output stopped coming to it.  But if anyone suspected heat as a problem, why didn't that comment include thermal log information? 

Following that, on the first page, is nothing but a series of totally meaningless (well, close to it) variations of the console game player's "Me, too" complaint, without real data.  There are 21 such comments. 

The second page starts out the same way, with a single early exception, the comment from the owner of the cross-fired HD 3870s.  There has been some difficulty with some of those (not the one I own, though), running in an unstable fashion, correctable by slightly down-clocking the core speeds with ATI Tray Tools. 

Out of the first five on page two, only that one has much data included.  After six more "Me, Too" comments, at last there was another with some of the problem report information.  Four more "Me, Too" comments, one of which mentioned an old, and VERY WELL KNOWN limitation of single player games.  None of them are good about being forced to release the FOCUS, so they frequently become unstable when minimized, unless the player has just a modicum of sense and looks it up.  

Open a game menu, such as the Save menu, and you can minimize to your heart's content. 

Interestingly, page two also contained a total of 21 of those "Me, Too" comments, along with two each with usable data, and another two with at least partial data. 

It does seem that Windows 7 does predominate here, and perhaps it is the 64 bit version, but that can't be confirmed based on what the thread contains.  On page three, once again, without any thermal logging data, another Geforce 8800 is named as being involved in a total shut-down.  Not enough data! 

Again, it looks as if Windows 7 was named more often there.  There have been 47 comments, without being able to tabulate anything from them consistently, since there was so little content.  It seems to be a mix of things only connected to the Awakening expansion, mostly not connected to shutting computers down at all, and therefore, technically off-topic compared to the OP's problem.

This is simply put ridiculous 1.04 is just a nightmare had taken time away in hopes they would fix the mem leaks and the constant crashes...... apperently I wasn't away long enough.

Origin's was a gem compared to this......

same problem here



also win7 64 bits

[Kastagir]

Bioware doesn't seem interested in patching DA:O anymore. Or if they are, they are keeping it to themselves. You can report these crashes to EA through help.dragonage.com if you can endure the pedantic spew of the form responses and absence of any capability to compel the developer to fix their game. Otherwise, we must wait.
