Glitching textures

[METUS]

So far I enjoy playing the game for the first time but I see that some of the npc's clothes are just bugged. How to fix it ?

Here are 7 things you could try if your interested.

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. Try and see if this corrects your issue before continuing 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. Try and see if this corrects your issue before continuing 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". Try and see if this corrects your issue before continuing down.

Reason: Despite whether or not 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. Try lowering your graphics/texture setting to Medium or lower. Try and see if this corrects your issue before continuing on down.

Reason: The game was originally designed for the max settings to be Medium and was not optimized properly for anything beyond that found in the present version.

5. Apply the 4GB patch to the game. For the Steam copy of the game, here are two ways of going about it:

5a. Follow along with this Steam guide below with how to apply the 4GB patch to a Steam copy of the game.

Note: If neither of the methods discussed in the guide work, try 5b.

5b. 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.

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.

6. Either get the game or verify/repair the game you have installed through Steam on the EA App.

Reason: Only if nothing else seems to work on the Steam copy of this game.

Note: Recommend applying the 4gb patch to the game just using the 4gb patch tool from the guide or 5b.

7. Get the game on GOG.

Reason: Only if nothing works for the Steam copy of the game and you don't want to use the EA App.

Note: Recommend applying the 4gb patch to the game the same way mentioned in 6
