I noticed crashes with running a wide screen. Thats the memory leak issue which can cause all kinds of nasty crashes. Lucky I had two monitors one being a normal format instead of the 16:10 I usually run. That fixed the game for me.

It was a coincidence, froze the same way after about 30 mins.

I
take the beta drivers didn't help either?  Any other details on the
crash? Is it straight to desktop or does it actually freeze and you
have to shut down?  Any sound looping?

I haven't had a chance to try the beta drivers yet though I will (though I heard they don't help),

Basically I just get what looks like a graphics corruption.  It can be in a cut scene, it can be in combat, it can be just walking around or even once leveling up.  It can happen 5 minutes into play or an hour.  Its a hard lock, but interestingly on my last one I was running a internet radio feed in the backround and that was still working even though the screen was frozen.

I do run in widescreen but I can't imagine a game made in 2009 would have a wide screen issue.

This ess is seriously effed up!!! It was all in the fullscreen for me.
I'm playing on an HDTV in 1280x720 and the Brecilian woods completely crash my PC to a black screen at certain points and I have to shut it down by hand and start it back up. All the time my CPU is at 100% usage but everything is nice and cool thanks to a bunch of fans and heatsinks and whatnot. Now I don't know what is wrong with the forest but I was able to play the game with only minor problems until then.
First, I changed my res to 800x600 and played it windowed because my TV stretches my picture when I'm below a certain resolution. CPU wasn't all hogged anymore. Then I tried 1024x768 in fullscreen and it crashed again. Then I tried my usual 720p in window and guess what!! My CPU is fine. Haven't actually tried playing it, yet. This is stupid. I think I'm gonna play some more Torchlight until a patch is out.

Edit:
No dice. That thing still crashed on me, so that CPU-spike-thing is not what's causing my crashes. But the game ran soooo much smoother now. I think I was having full 60fps the whole time through with everything maxed out but AA turned off. Quite a miracle for my PC.

I too had numerous crashes to the desktop when I first started playing. I tried many things including grapics drivers, checking for overheating, changing game settings, etc. What it finally turned out to be, and I can be sure as I've played for two days now without any issue, was my antivirus software. I disable that before I start the game and all is good. I leave it running and it will eventually crash whether that's five minutes in or 2 hours in. I'm running the free version of Avast for any that want to know.

I'd go ahead and drop Avast for Microsoft Security Essentials (free!).

My game crashed without any sound loop but "Black screen" and go back to desktop ......then a message jump out asking whether I would report it to Microsoft or not. Everything comes suddently without any delay or slow motion screen.....



The longest time I played was about TWO hours .....it runs smooth in this TWO hours, except long loading time. After the game crashed, I used to save after every action, talk, fight, run, .....its annoying and thus, I stop playing it now.



Is there any response / feedback from Bioware ???????

I think you may be on to something.  I just enabled "gaming mode" on AVG and it's been running stable for about half an hour now.  I'll update if anything changes.  

[DthBlayde]

Had the crashing problems earlier as well, tried the advice of dropping the dual core affinity to just one core, last crash was about 8-9 hours ago.. periodic checks showed cpu usage hovering between 50-75%
the afffinity workaround , thankfully, seems to have worked for me.

AMD X2 5000+
2gb ram
Radeon HD 4800 series, 512mb onboard

I have been blessed with 0 crash so far with 40ish hour into the game (longest playing stretch is 20 hours without exiting)... But the computer is also built mainly off TW brand/made parts. The only issue that seemed be caused by the memory leak is inconsistancy in how long it zones are being loads, it greatly ranges from 2 sec to 1 full min even on the same exact zone.



Might want to check on your RAM for defects that can easily exacerbate the situation, something that plagued gf's Dell when she play WoW, incompatible RAM/Mobo on top of defective RAM.



my spec:

Vista Ultimate 64 SP1 (I noticed the game actually runs like crap on my laptop before upgrade to SP1)

Intel i7 920

G.Skill DDR3 6GB @1600 FSB

Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ x 2 (running SLI) running latest Driver off Nvidia



Game setting is @

1920 x 1080, Very High, 8x FSAA, High, Vsync + Frame-Buffer effect

I found a strange solution for my crashing problems.



I played DAO on one core for 4 hours without any problems. switched back to two cores and crashed after 5 minutes.



Looks like a problem with the cpu usage on dual-core systems...

[DragonsKnight1]

Dateranoth, I am running Windows 7 64bit. Under Task Manager, Processes,daorigins.exe I am not allowed to alter Affinity. Any ideas why ?

[DragonsKnight1]

Apologies all - I have changed User Account Control. Please forgive me

How do you play DAO on one core? I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+


Update: Nvm found how on an earlier post...wish me luck!

Bingo - Game seems fine now.



Neikia - see Dateranoths earlier post. Go to Task Manager when running the game, then processes. Right click daorigins.exe and select Affinity. If you have switched off User Account Controls (which I forgot to do before) you can deselect either core.

[_Blackout_]

I've found the game to run much for stable on SLI systems when you force it to use Split Frame Rendering through nhancer.



Went from crashing every 20 minutes or so to no crashes in about 6 hours.

[Neikia]

Another Update: Been playing for about an hour now and zero crashes! Cheers!

[D-Sledge]

I did the 1 processor thing, and still crash just as often.



This is lame haha.

This worked wonders for me.
Couldnt play the game for more than a couple of minutes earlier, now it has been running for 2 hours with crashing. =)

[Jimbomobo]

also tried running off 1 processor (im on a quad) and i still get random ctd. Looking forward to a patch to sort this out soon hopefully

Me too - Whoopee !!  

[Ghost72881]

Ok iv tried the single core, upodated drivers, checked compatibilty, how do you switch to windowed mode, its the only thing i havent tried.

[Dateranoth]

In the video options Uncheck play fullscreen.

[JironGhrad]

As a side note to multicore people you need to select one of the other cores than the primary. If you have single-core affinity programs running in the background they're probably set to run on the primary and could be causing the CTDs

[Oyclo]

I may have fixed mine.



I was putzing around with settings in a completely non-scientific way, I turned AA to 2x, graphics down from max to high, and turned off forced stereo for head phones. Seems much more stable, no idea which one did it. Maybe I've just been lucky since.

[Haymaker19]

Starting to have constant CTDs now as well. Playing on PC, with version purchased through steam. I have played close to 30 hrs without any problems then tonight it started crashing every few minutes...
