Report a translation problem
but the problem is only to play on steam. I download game from torrent (GOG version), and the game run ok on mid graphics with 70 fps, on low game run 110 fps. But even in low my game from steam crash
1. Go to your game install folder's redist folder to run DXSetup (In the DirectX folder), physx and vcredist exes to install the software on them. If this doesn't fix your issue, continue down.
Reason: Sometimes steam misses these or doesn't run them properly during setup.
Note: If your curious on how to get to your game's install folder, go to your steam library, right-click "Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition", hover over "Manage" in the little drop menu and click "Browse Local Files".
2. Make sure a service like OneDrive isn't constantly syncing or backing up your documents folder. If this doesn't fix your issue, continue down.
Reason: This can disturb or prevent the game from making and editing files in the Dragon Age folder located in your documents that are needed to run the game.
3. Go into your start menu, and click "PC Settings". Once the window for "PC Settings" or "Windows Settings" appears, type "Graphic Settings" in the "Find a setting" text box, and click the result "Graphic Settings". Once you are in the window of "Graphic Settings", click the "Browse" if the drop box above "Browse" is labeled "Desktop app", and locate "DAOrigins.exe" in your game install folder/bin_ship. You will see the game now listed below "Browse" where you can also find and click "Options" alongside it. Once the pop-up called "Graphics preference" appears, click on "High performance" and click "Save". If this doesn't fix your issue, continue down.
Reason: Despite having your GPU detected by the game it may not actually use it. This ends up making the game not be able to run properly or at all. This forces the game to make use of your device's GPU and correct the issue.
4. Apply the 4GB patch to the game. For the Steam copy of the game, here are your options:
4a. Follow along with this other Steam guide below with how to apply the 4GB patch to a Steam copy of the game. If it doesn't seem to fix your issue, try 4b.

4b. Go to site in the link below and follow along with it's "modding video step-by-step tutorial for DA:O" from the beginning to the 4GB Patch. The tutorial gives visual instructions that some people may appreciate.

Reason: The game still is limited to using 1 - 2 GB of RAM since it was originally released. Due to newer graphical settings, DLC and various tweaks found in the present version the game requires more RAM than it was designed. The methods shown in the tutorials are the correct ways to apply the 4GB patch on Steam yourself.
Note: The reason either of these methods of applying the 4gb patch to game has to be done in the Steam copy of the game can be explained in the post linked below. If you end up doing this, you can change your graphics/textures settings to whatever you wish.

If neither of these seem to work I would suggest playing your GOG copy of the game and applying the 4GB patch using the tool mention in both 4a and 4b.
