Crashes after Origins character creation


HeirofGryffindor

Recommended Posts

I'm running Dragon Age Origins Ultimate on Steam. Mods have been installed but not recently, and up until now things have worked smoothly. I went to create a new character and after the character creation the game will crash. There is no exact error code or message, just simply "Dragon Age: Origins has stopped working". It's not Steam that crashes. I tried Awakening, and Awakening runs fine. I think what's causing the game to crash is the opening cinematic; the crash happens no matter if mods are used, male or female, or which Origin. I imported a modded character into Awakening and it also worked fine. I'm running out of ideas.

 

These are the mods that are installed:

  • CC extra tints & tones v. 1.3
  • Compatibility Patches for 0 51-392
  • Cullen Romance Option - Mage Origin
  • Marry Alistair, any Origin
  • Extra Dog Slot v.141
  • More Hairstyles
  • PTs Vibrant Colors 1 31-153
  • Alternate Alistair Kiss mod
  • Skip the Fade
  • Tal Storage Chest
  • Updated Chargemorphcfg file
  • Utility sack

 

Those are all 3rd party mods, not official mods, considering I don't think official mods would be mucking up the works. I'm not entirely sure how helpful that list is going to be, considering they're not very specific mod numbers, but I figured I would be as thorough as possible. The only mods that would be interacting much with the character creator (More Hairstyles, PT vibrant colors, etc) were all installed when my first character was created, and it ran smoothly enough to run the character then.

 

System specs are as follows (I'm sure someone is going to ask)

I did this, why don't you try disabling your beginning intro movie or cinematics?You can do that by going into the settings before even opening the game and setting it there. It'll have a setting in video and in graphics I believe. It's been a while for me. Plus, it saves you more memory usage too.
