Gaoxin Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 @Thandal, yeah I meant dragon age 2 demo, but I somehow highly doubt that anything will change in the full game, since its the same engine. The only hope I got left is, that dx11 is really disabled in this demo (even tho I was playing it with dx11 on o0?) and that in the final version of da2 dx11 will save my butt. That 8:3x min pattern was only in DA1 with all cores working. Once I disabled a few, I was able to play for a litle longer. I also don't think that its malware or any funny stuff you get when you visit some funny sites I simply dont do. :/ However, I installed windows 7 64bit yesterday, patched everything and tried to run DA1 - same result: freeze. So I would say its not the OS. concerning DA2: It doesn't freeze after a fix amount of time. Usually it lasts longer that 10minutes. I tried to run it with only 1 core activated (core 3 that is) and I was able to run the game for 30-40 minutes with dx11...I didn't crash here, I just had to quit, but I don't think that my problem will go away only when I leave 1 core active. Well, like I said, DA2 doesn't have a fix time pattern, its somewhat random. A bit over an hour, with 40min or so minimized, was the longest time DA2 was running, but it still froze up when I tried to finish the demo after being afk for 40minutes. The funny thing is: my old laptop(dual core 2.2, GF 9600M, 3GB RAM, win7 32bit) doesn't have any trouble at running DA 1 or DA 2, but the game looks not that good. :[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakingroof Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Have you set your game to pass through firewall? This is just a guess,but your problems reminded me about this thread --- Tech issues.Win 7 comp. Check posts 6 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaoxin Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 hmmz, sounds interesting, because comodo firewall acted like a jerk when I wanted to play Aion :P ..but stil.. only DA1 and DA2 to cause this problem. However, thanks for the info! Ill deinstall my firewall and try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naomis8329 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I installed DA2 today and experienced 2 CTDs but only after I tried to access stuff that was locked lol It runs very well and although I have still not tested DAO yet, I took off all mods and installed the new drivers for Nvidia and physex (something like that). I will continue testing through the night (was going to do so last night but got tired and gave up). Hopefully the advice given here will help. I have yet to do the core affinity yet, but will do that also. I have a fairly decent rig and can't understand the lagging but hopefully we will get somewhere.

Gaoxin Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 -cleaned cpu and gfx fans-removed one of 3 ram bars-switched both external HDDs from eSata ports and connected em to normal sata ports Was able to run DAO for an hour in fullscreen at highest settings. PC didnt freeze.I don't know if my problem is solved now and what might fixed it. Most likely the cpu fan... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Wow! That's a lot of "non-standard" maintenance. Glad you're up-and-running now! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCGirl Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I agree that it might be mod related, as like a few others, I have copied downloaded files onto a disc and then I load from there to install. When I first installed them it was directly from the internet. My game is heavily modded as well. Getting very frustrated with it all I must say. Anyone comes up with a solution please let me know. I will continue trying bits and pieces on this end and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
