Persistent game crashes

[Kaltenbach [GER]]

Hello dear community

I have the problem that Dragon Age Origins keeps crashing.

I play for a short time and then the full game closes -> without any error message.

After that I can restart it and be back in the game within a very short time.

I've already tried setting the launch options in Steam so that the game starts under DX9. I also set the affinity to a single core. But the problem persists.

I have an intel core i9 12900k processor and an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card. I also have 32 GB of DDR5 Ram throttled to 4800 mhz (due to Intel's warranty).

Does anyone know the problem and can help me?

Many thanks and greetings from Germany.

I would start in the pinned topics in the discussions tab. It's a known issue for this game and not your rig.

set your graphics to medium. if that doesnt work set them to low. if you are still crashing there are user made patches that seem to work. the game doesnt play well with graphics set to max for many systems. espec if you blow the reqs out of the water like mine does.

Thank you guys for the quick replies.

I have now switched to a normal 1920x1080p resolution, limited the process to a single core via affinity and finally set the start option to DX9.

Now the game runs reliably. Only had a single crash in two hours of gameplay.

Simple fix for me was to change PhysX config to CPU. Hasn't crashed since. I have graphics on high setting.

I had the same problem as the OP, and setting graphics to medium solved it for me. Running a top tier GPU and a Core i7 Win10 machine.

Try this too if you like the settings to be as high as possible.
