yes, log in to Bioware Support site and then go to email us, it will ask you small questions such as, which game your using, which platform and such, write it down place as much info on the issue as you can and send

[Kurt M.]

Thanks, issue sent.

[Karnage28]

I am sure we are not the only one, but I hope it makes a difference. Still no answer form Bioware

[Kurt M.]

Well, as I said, I don't expect an answer, but I'm happy just to draw attention at the issue/s.



Oh, what a boring weekend I'm going to have without DA:O/A. Guess I'll play AvP instead (I've barely touched that game since I bought it...).

[hshendon]

I can consistently recreate this crash. I fight the sloth demon with my party and it crashed every time on the final death. Also, now that I was able to do that, it now crashes every time I even start the battle with the sloth demon.



What gives?

[Kurt M.]

hshendon, if you still have the crash, try disabling autosave, then loading a savegame PRIOR entering the Sloth demon's chamber, then enter the chamber and kill him. That's what I did and FINALLY I killed him without crashes.



It might be a random solution (may not work on everybody), or maybe just luck, but that's what it worked for me...

[Behraam]

This is happening to me again.

[RgnCajun27]

Yeah it took me 6 or 7 attempts to get through that fight without it crashing. Thankfully though, besides that one fight, the game has only crashed on me 2 other times and they were random. Hopefully it stays that way.

I had and am still having the same issue. i played Awakening with no problem. A few days ago, i started a warrior in Origins and was fine until the Sloth Demon battle. I would defeat him to change # 3, and then the game would CTD. I am now having the same issue in the Harrowing Chamber fighting Uldred. I finally just gave up.

[FOE]

Yup, same stuff here. I wish NOW that I hadn't "upgraded" to version 1.3..oh well. If they don't put out a fix for this, then I'll just move on....it's a shame too...I was really getting into the game - it's totally STOPPED me from going forward.

[FOE]

Took a suggestion from another poster...seems that if you disable "autosave", then you can go through the whole scenario unfettered.



That's in the "options", then "game" tab, and uncheck the "save automatically" box. Hope that this helps someone.

[ngv]

I had the same problem. Disabling autosave didn't help but halving the resolution and reducing the visual quality did let me through.



I logged a call with EA and the next day got a reply back saying they don't support windows 7 64 bit (doesn't say that on the box!) and try running in administrator or compatibility mode. Neither helped although if it was a windows 7 compatibility problem I would have expected the game not to run at all , rather than crash in one particular point.



Anyone else who had this problem, what OS are you using?

[NRG-OptimaL]

I have to quicksave between every minor battle in the mage tower when doing that quest. it never crashed with sloth, but the demons that look like his non-fade form consta-crash me.

[Scape_2]

Crashing like crazy for me too. I was at the last death when it crashed the 1st time, now it's all the time to the point it is unplayable. Error reports are being sent to the microsoft server but I doubt that will help much. Will try the autosave trick next on lowest res.

I can confirm this. I put the settings to bare min and tryed with a save in the sloth chamber and it failed but a previous save running on min settings worked! Now I can carry on and put the settings back to max again.

Thanks for the help!

[Llaerrick]

post 1.3 this is game-breaking. an almost 99% crash rate on death of 3rd form of sloth demon (the other 1% it crashes on 1st or 2nd form). tried all the above suggestions but not able to find a work around yet ...

p.s: this work around worked for me: -

1. went back to a prior save *before* going into the sloth demon chamber
2. put graphics and texture settings to minimum, turned AA off
3. turned off subtitles (if applicable)
4. turned off autosave
5. switched to windowed mode

managed to clear it fully without crashing after doing all the above. hope it helps for any one else stuck.

It's one of my favourite tactics. It makes profit of poor AI, but oh well...if it works...

There's a special part of the Veil that is difficult...in some time you'll find yourself alone against 5-6 mages at once, and unless you've a REALLY powerful char, this tactic is mandatory (I attracted 2 of them, then killed them, attracted/killed one more, then killed the only ones left), as just charging at them (even in any Veil form) is practically suicidal.

And it's not as lenghty once you catch the trick of it

Be smart and use the spells and forms available to you ^^ Those mages are easy as pie if you use the burning form and slap em with a fireball in their midst. Just pause the game and line your fireball so that it hits all mages in the room and then run out yourself, by the time they get on their feet and come for you you can have another fireball lined up on the door of that room.

[CodenameEagle]

I get the crash while the Sloth demon is changing too.. I even get it some other times when there are big battles.. Very frustrating,

[crysischaos]

Turn off auto save before the fight with the sloth demon

[jase1976]

The final battle with the Archdemon also caused my game to crash. It took me 5 tries before I could finish the fight all the way to conclusion. It does seem like this is a patch 1.03 issue because this never happened to me prior to the patch. So is it better to reinstall 1.02, or to try other stuff like people suggested (turning off autosave, graphics detail)?

[Auberon Dreamweaver]

Happening to me after the 1.04 update steam version...... It's kinda sad the game have to end at that part...Feels like haveing a demo version and not the full game :/

[Engstrand]

Having the same issue with Vista. 1.04.

This bug is not fixed yet?!

[UNAVAILABLE]

I have been newly introduced to this aggravating problem after installing DA Awakenings.

When I had only Dragon Age: Origins installed, this fight worked fine - in fact I don't think the game crashed AT ALL until my 2nd or 3rd playthrough, and this is off the disk with NO patches installed. After upgrading to 1.04, it still worked fine.

After installing DA Awakenings this fight crashes 100% of the time on either the first or the third of Sloth's form changes. And yes I reinstalled the 1.04 patch. I also updated my video card drivers.

I was able to get through using the workarounds mentioned (i.e. turning every single option off until you are essentially playing a text adventure game), but such does tend to reduce the fun of gameplay. I didn't get a high end gaming PC to play the games in low graphics mode. Interesting note: in high graphics mode, Sloth's 3rd form was an abomination; in low graphics mode, it was a shade.

System Info
AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor 3.4 GHz with 3 GB RAM.
Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 video cards; SLI enabled.
Windows XP Service Pack 3

[Phlogophile]

Right now, at second playthrough, the same crash happened to me again and again; i tried about 30 times the last days, but never surpassed the 3rd form change.



What finally worked for me now:



Start game - Minimize - Open task manager - Set game's process priority to high - Play



After so many tries this did not seem like a coincidence to me.

Specs:



Win 7 x64 Ultimate

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3,4 Ghz

4 GB DDR3 RAM

Radeon HD4870 1 GB



Good luck trying this!

[Inkkubus]

I am at my 1st playthrough right now and getting so frustrated right after beginning to love this game... it is quite unfair! I add myself to those experiencing crashes in the fades inner sanctum but none of your suggestions worked out for me.

@Phlogophile
Can you tell me how to change the processes priority if Win doesn't allow me to? (whenever I set it to "high" and hit ok then it gives me an "access denied"-message)

My specs

Win7 x64
Athlon II X4 630
