[Zav]

I have the LAA installed, but when I resume in the Denerim market the game crashes to desktop

I've even tried to load from a quicksave but it still crashes

Anyone able to help? I'm 50% of the game in...

Hi zavala451, this is ZDuke17, and I will try my best to help.

1. There are a variety of methods to applying the LAA patch. Did you install it going to a website? That method is not recommended for Dragon Age: Origins. I recommend this method if you haven't done so already: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=233222451

(Note: Recommended to install the pre-patched exe mentioned in the guide for max compatibility with your setup, and proper functionality)

2. The Affinity Fix for Origins: The game was designed for older lower count core cpus compared to modern cpus. Using modern cpus by default with Origins often results in strange glitches, crashing, and bugs in the game. WIth the following link to a guide, you'll be able to tell the game to only use 1 core of your cpu so the game runs as it was designed to be ran. Resulting in better stability. Skim the guide to the section labelled "Frequent random crashes" and follow the instructions. By all means, try doing the other fixes mentioned on the guide if you wish too. You can't go wrong either way: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=260437327

3. Quinn's Ultimate Fix Pack: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/4689

This mod above will fix a variety of issues within origins, including crashing.

4. Run the game in Compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). The game has a variety of issues running on modern Windows operating systems, 7 and up. Running the game in Compatibility mode will help ensure better stability, along with the LAA Patch, and the Affinity fix. To run the game in Compatibility mode, go to your games install/binship folder, right click "DAOrigins.exe" or "DAOrigins", and click the option in the pop-up menu "Properties". In the "DAOrigins.exe Properties" window, click the tab labeled "Compatibility", click the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", and select "Window XP (Service Pack 3)" in the drop down box under "Run this program in compatibility mode for:".

I recommend doing all of the mentioned fixes for max stability for the game. If in need of further assistance, please let me know, and I will reply as soon as I am able.
