Dragon Age: Inquisition has just been released, and Bioware is already working on upcoming fixes that will address issues that are being reported by its fanbase. As Bioware’s Mark Darrah noted, the company has been hearing a number of concerns from members of its PC community, and is currently working on patches that will address some of them.
“With the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition, we’ve been hearing a number of concerns from members of our PC community” said Mark and listed some of them.
Bioware is aware of the driver support issues, the hitching and frame rate issues in cutscenes, the keyboard and mouse controls that some PC gamers found ‘weird’, as well as the demand for general user interface optimizations for the PC.
“Player experience is a top priority for us. Our goal is to address as many of these as possible in our upcoming patches, including some in our next patch, which is underway. We’ll release further details in the coming days and will continue to monitor your concerns.”
There is no ETA yet about when the first update will be released, or what exactly it will fix.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Refunded, we’ll see if they make the massive changes that are needed for a repurchase. Oo
What kind of problems you run into?
Nothing bug-wise actually (But I did only play like 30 min). All my issues were with controls. I know lots of people were saying, you just have to get use to them… but by the 3rd game in a series, I shouldn’t have to get use to controls. They should pretty much be set in stone.
I would have been fighting my instinct of DA:O and DA2 controls the entire time. It’s like trying to write a letter with a pen in your toes, not your fingers.
The problem is they did zero QA for the pic version.
Controls were almost a direct attempt to port console controls, which is why there are 2 mouse cursors on tactical cam, swinging your weapon at air, and virtually no mouse controls for movement.
You can’t even map controls to the mouse, and it doesn’t recognize 3rd, 4th mouse buttons. It’s obvious what happened.
this is why pre-order and waiting to play game on day one is dumbest thing you can do these days , games are being released regardless of being unfinished beta versions. 6 months after release is when you can finally enjoy finished version
see how he says “Player experience is a top priority for us” , but for publisher like Ubi or EA it’s not , they will push it out on release date, no matter what .. Unity is the proof
ehhh if it has low sales on a particular platform the support will cease saying there was no interest. It’s a double edged sword.
Canceled preorders/returns speak louder than those who choose to “vote with their wallets”.
if people stopped pre-ordering and falling for bullshots and marketing campaigns , reading metacritic , etc.. publisher would have no choice but release an already polished and optimized product on day one , with all the bonuses of pre-order being a challenging unlockable in-game..
You should be licking our collective nut sack in thanks. We’re beta testing it for you.
you may as well gtfo , because no one asked you to beta test broken trash you paid full price for. i can do it by myself as there are ways to do it for free , fairly easy as well
You know its close to Thanksgiving here state side. You may as well give thanks a little early and start licking. 😀
Double post.
You ok beta testing after you give them your money?
The PC community solved my issues. Didn’t need to wait on Nvidia/EA. So I’m out of Beta 😀
How does it feel to burn yourself out on an unfinished game and give big corporations further incentive to peddle unfinished and flawed products for all-time high prices? You’re just defensive because you know you’re being f*cked over big time.
50 hours in. Not feeling burned out yet but maybe I’ll get there somewhere around 150 hour mark.
On PC with kb and m? Hmmm? Thought not…
I play 3rd person games with a 360 controller so your comment is irrelevant.
As I said, thought not… this is a thread about real pc play, not console play on pc, so your entire commentary is irrelevant, no further input from me required, feel free to have the final say, lol…
Playing on PC is about playing anyway you want to play including with a game pad. And I’m taking the last comment because you cant debate worth a sh*t. lol
Nah, not really, I gave it to you because you obviously enjoy pissing in the wind, can’t see a single win in all the posts you made here, but then again, I came back to respond to your witty repartee, so I guess that gives you one… lol… hooroo controllerboi…
Controller boy. Not controllerboi. Learn to spell please.
ehhh if it has low sales on a particular platform the support will cease saying there was no interest. It’s a double edged sword.
Canceled preorders/returns speak louder than those who choose to “vote with their wallets”.
you total biscuit fanboys just parroting exactly what he said then you just spout a couple buzz words because you think that validates you
TB a great at what he does and says so why not?
you will always have some moron who will disagree just because he thinks its cool to do it. it may be cool , but facts are facts , and can’t be disagreed with
came to the conclusion alone , but the dude is also right.. i’m not just a random fanboy because a guy next to me is too, i’m a fan of what i believe is true and what i can see
and also, are you actually defending pre-ordering of broken products or what? what is this anti-consumer attitude?
Having bugs don’t make a game broken it’s still playable broken would be more like bugs that make the game unplayable and that is not the case. Also no game is ever perfect nor can any game ever be 100% bug free never has been and surely not for along time now. Now if there were or are bugs that make the game unplayable past a certain point then I would fully agree with you but that is not the case with DAI.
Actually there are several game breaking bugs one in particular and I am only 40 mins in… Just because YOU don’t have it does not mean it isn’t there
I checked total biscuit and he said the game was fine as far as the pc version though.
Now we see constant evidence of peopel saying it isnt ok and it has problems.
So how is he a total biscuit fanboy?
He is correct though, nothing is finished anymore NOTHING why buy it? Wait until its fixed.
“no” is referring to the stance totalbisquit has on pre-ordering. There’s no point in pre-ordering a game from a publisher like EA, they don’t need that money in advance to finish their product, they will pump it out on the release date regardless.
Pre-ordering should be something you do if you want to support a developer that isn’t already rich in creating a solid game. In other word you pre-order to cover their development expenses.
yeah ubisoft has like 4 preoder dlcs.
Your right you don’t have to pre order but why not it doesn’t hurt to get some free bonuses for a game you are gonna buy on day 1 anyways right. I bet you that’s only reason most people do pre order at least that is only I reason I do honestly.
Just because that such behaviour has become the norm for many company doesn’t mean we consumers should tolerate that. I think it is perfectly fine that many of us has an ideal of what the gaming industry should be. If no one voices their opinion things will simply become worse in the years to come.
That’s funny because nothing is ever 100 percent fixed so that would be never lol. No matter what most noticeable bugs they do fix no game is 100 percent bug free just ask any developer.
I also like how they priorotize drm isntead of fixing the game.
yeah! I know, and literally 2 months after release, 3dm cracked there so called almighty denovo drm.
all that effort going into something like drm, and they probably could have fixed several different things… odd interface errors… characters disappearing randomly and then reappearing, mission exploits… music and character dialog not activating as much as it should….
I literally spent a good 30 minutes just wondering around, didn’t hear one bit of music WTF, the score for this game is AMAZING… but I guess they wanted a more ambient feel for the music, which is utter bs.
A sincere question: have you actually played the game? Because I’ve played ~15 hours of it and it’s absolutely amazing. Sure it has some minor flaws (mostly control issues), but I hope you realize that if you call this game a “beta” then you are calling every single game that came out 5+ years ago also “betas” because their controls, graphical problems, etc, were never “patched”. You, and re**rds like you are the reason why Dragon Age Inquisition has such a terrible user metacritic score but holds one of the highest critic scores — all you know are inane conjectures and blind hate towards publishers because your paltry ego has transferred from some parts of your life to others, in which you feel the need to flaunt your superiority of idealistic perfection in all things in which you claim to have passion in.
“Unity is the proof” : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition
Don’t bother responding, child.
where did i mention DAI in my post?I was talking in general, majority of “AAA” titles lately , like every Ubisoft game or do you remember BF4? They push people so hard into pre-ordering and what those people get? Getting mad on forums waiting for a game to actually work for months down the line? Pre-ordering only encourages these greedy morons to release their games earlier than they should , Unity was ultimate proof of that , as i said. Problems with games would’ve been lot smaller and less , if people stopped pre-ordering games
Don’t bother replying , if you don’t know what are you talking about. Child
“reason why Dragon Age Inquisition has such a terrible user metacritic score but holds one of the highest critic scores”
critic scores? LMAO , someone is so dumb it hurts
oh i would so love to kick you in your damn face
youre such a delusional little total biscuit fanboy
just parroting exactly what he said in a delusional bid to hate on games youve never played nor will ever play
I happen to share similar opinion with TB, but i’m not anyones blind follower.. you’re just a dumb little rat , “i hate stuff because it’s cool” kind of dude.. How do you know what i played or no? What hate on games are you talking about? I love games, i just don’t like certain companies business practices. They are the ones that hate games , as releasing half finished products , and destroying entire franchises , turning them into casual , mediocre trash is NOT what you do IF you love games! Now gtfo please , you’re ridiculous guy
Not really the best way to reply to someone if you want people to take you seriously random dude. Next time form a constructive opinion, instead of randomly attacking people.
In all actuality he is right… These issues are game breaking.. I more then max the system specs with my recently built and overclocked machine yet this and only this game stutters, freezes, has issues with my controller, etc…. EA is very well know to push an unfinished product. Same this with Ubisoft Unity was game breaking for me on ps3 as well to the point where I returned it because of graphical issues. Why should we pay 60+ for a game that has to be patched day one… People need to quit thinking that is ok. That rarely happened back in the 90’s and if it did the game was a flop.
I’ve played 8 hours of DAI… and to sum it up, the controls on PC are awful. I play a melee- DW rogue (as in ALL DA’s) i really can’t spend more than 1hr at a time playing because its extremely uncomfortable to engage in combat situations.
Controls at best are *minor* issues perhaps for ranged classes in terms of targeting (e.g. rogue-archer, or mage,) otherwise combat is jarring and un-fun.
The past 5 years, plenty of AAA were released with VARIOUS broken mechanics, Rage, Skyrim etc… Some are just bugs but A LOT of bugs, and in other cases (such as Skyrim) game-breaking sequences impeding your journey such as Dragons that refused to land, or ps3 console players having corrupt saves is a serious issue.
I really don’t care about debating ideologies of publishers/devs and whatnot— i only care about the gameplay perspective.
… Just because you didn’t experience tonnes of bug doesn’t mean that they don’t exist… Yes at the start there were less issues but now I’m 50 hours into the game the bugs are starting to become game breaking. It often crashes during loading, and game freezes when I open journal, in game sound replaced by static etc and I’m not even mentioning smaller bugs such as character disappearing… (sometimes I need to stand there for a couple minutes before they appear.) I understand that beta testing for such a large game is difficult but I think customers should have the right to expect reasonable quality with their product… These games are not cheap on day one.
And yes the 5.5 rating on metacritic is a bit exaggerated but most of the negative ratings didn’t come from so called ‘haters’. In fact they mostly come from long term bioware fans. They love the studio and the franchise so much that they cared enough to comment in hope that the studio would improve. Honestly it’s not a bad game but it’s not a great game either. It is pretty much a grindy MMO where you can only play by yourself, with moments of spark immersed in the sea of mundane, repetitive tasks. It has further deviated from the epic matriarch of this franchise that most people loved and that is why it is getting a 5.5. Most people would tell you that they lack motivation to finis this game. On paper it offers a gigantic and visually stunning world but the gaming experience it offers is rather mediocre.
Anyways my point is you don’t need to call everyone retards for voicing their experience or opinion… If you’re satisfied with the product then I’m happy for you but for many others including myself we expected better.
So then you wouldn’t pre-order and buy The Witcher 3 on day one then. I really like the Witcher games, but they also have their fair share of problems on release. Which led to the release of the definitive version, which still had issues.
In this day and age, every game has problems, its just the way things are. Nothing is 100% bug free. Buying crap like Watch Dogs is what needs to stop. Sure people on the net b**ched about, but in the end it went to sell really well. Thus leading to Watch Dogs 2 in the near future.
This game is stellar. I’m pleased with having pre-ordered it. I’m OK with having to play with my Xbox 360 controller until they fix keyboard/mouse.
Steam Summer Sale day-one purchase 🙂
Going to be difficult as its only on Origin.
Nice joke!
I had a bug where the game would crash every time I tried to load my save. I started a new game and so far I’m 20 hours in with no issues.
It’s a great game…. when I can play it. The thing almost always crashes for me now at the “connecting to Dragon Age servers” point– yes, the start screen. I don’t even know why connecting to a server is a REQUIREMENT for a game now, so this pisses me off to an unbelievable extent. Everything functions fine if I get past that massive hurdle. What a joke.
run the game offline. you only need to activate it once.
Yeah, I’ve known this for a long time. As my post indicated, I don’t know how to turn off its need to connect to the internet in-game. I don’t want to shut down my internet connection completely just to play it.
set origin offline. go to origin’s menu and set it offline. if it didn’t work, block the game exe with your windows/internet security firewall
What a surprise, another unfinished game. Is this how it will be from now on?
Been like that from the past 10 years, dude.
no, its not…and today we pay a lot more with dlcs, seasons bullshit etc
Don’t know what you’ve been doing, but yes it was. Proof: Vampire Bloodlines, Matrix Path of Neo, Gothic 3, Dungeon Lords, Battlefield 2, etc, etc, etc. All unfinished games at release plagued with tons of bugs. This was 2004-2005.
just two games for you…battlefield 2 release = battlefield 4 release? ok…
Uh… what?
sorry about my eng its not my native, i was talking about a comparison between bf 2 and bf 4 (that for many ppl destroyed the franshise). I could talk to you about EA releasing one bf a year but its ok, why would a company do not aim money? (activision, diablo 3 (still in beta lol), cod, etc). And i will not mention bf hardline (delayed after a big effort from DICE).
Oh, ok. I still don’t see the point of the comparison between the two. Maybe BF4 release state was worse but it doesn’t change the fact that BF2 release was totally out of shape.
The point is that the release of unfinished and untested videogames is nothing new as some may believe. Of course it seems to be getting worse every year.
The games you named were more like exceptions, rather than the norm. Vampire Bloodlines – 2004, BF2 – 2005, Gothic 3 – 2006.
Matrix (both) and Dungeon Lords were just bad all around.
EA, Activision/Blizzard and Ubisoft just need a good slap in their behinds. They are ruining the experience we could’ve had if they had supported other companies to the end instead of pushing for a release date.
Gothic 3 was completely bad all around. Purchased it the day it came out and couldn’t even get it to run period
I disagree. It’s a good game, but unlike with Gothic 2, this time Piranha Bytes tried to eat more than it can chew, not to forget that Jowood decided to release it too early due to financial problems. I also bought it on release (I still have the disk), but managed to complete it without any patches.
I tried for about 3 days to get it to run cause it would only give me a black screen on startup only game I ever had an issue with like that on my gaming laptop. I still run and play the latest games on my gaming laptop too and the only I have had that issue with lately is tropico 5 because my card doesn’t support DX11. needless to say I took it back.
It’s quite possible that your laptop just doesn’t supported by the game. Considering how buggy and glitchy it was on release, since they didn’t had enough time to test it properly, I wouldn’t wonder if it was made only for desktop PCs.
Gothic fans made the community patch for the game. Maybe you should try it.
Actually I tried on my gaming desktop as well.
Vampires is still buggy
10 years ago I played Half-Life 2 and it was super polished. Now you buy a shooter and play the black screen.
And Half Life 2 was the ONLY game released 10 years ago. Right.
Rome: Total War, Chronicles of Riddick, Unreal Tournament 2004, Guilty Gear XX Reload, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, Rainbow Six 3, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Richard Burns Rally, Cave Story, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, FlatOut, Syberia 2, Evil Genius, Ground Control 2, Painkiller, Port Royale 2, Warlords Battlecry 3, Ricochet, Far Cry, Sims 2, Myst 4, Sid Meier’s Pirates!, World of Warcraft, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Tribes: Vengeance, Need for Speed Underground 2, Hitman: Contracts, Hidden & Dangerous 2, Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth, Suffering, Counter-Strike: Source, EverQuest 2, Manhunt, Star Wars: Battlefront, Doom 3, Full Spectrum Warrior, Fall: Last Days of Gaia, Knights of the Temple, Silent Hill 4, Scrapland…
Tell me, what games from this list you can call buggy, so you wasn’t able to even launch them. I can remember only two games I had problems with: Vampire Bloodlines (probably the best ARPG since then, LMAO) and Sacred.
Rome Total War had the charge bonus bug but it was playable on release
Dude I never said MOST games released around 10 years ago were plagued with bugs. JUST that it’s not something new.
The game sure was awesome but I remember having to download and install steam. On dial up…. Took like a day and a half.
Game engines, video cards, drivers and ect are more complex than 10 yrs ago idiot.
Today they have more people and more money, and I probably shouldn’t tell you that software became quite accessible and hundred times more user friendly.
Today you can buy Unreal Engine 4 for 20 bucks and get a full access to the source code.
Today you can buy dozens of orchestral sample libraries and made an orchestral soundtrack sitting in your studio all alone.
In other words, don’t even try to justify this sh*t.
Do you even work in the industry? NO? STFU since you just talking out of your a*s. There are much more complexity to some of today games than the 10yrs old Half Life 2. Half Life 2 didn’t have to deal with a whole bunch of consoles and new physics of today more complexity in programming and gaming engines and hardwares computing.
actually it’s the opposite
I know right?
Its facepalm worhy
Watchdogs unfnished.
unity unfinished
advanced warfare unfinished.
Halo MCC unfinished
unity unfinished
shadow of mordor unfished.
Define “unfinished”.
Create content, but ‘forget’ to tweak it into a finished and polished experience.
at least the game is not broken like recent ubisoft titles. i fixed my hitching issue by turning off Origin in game. but i want to be able customize my character after the game stars (hair,color etc….) because i don’t like her hair.
EEeww, 30 fps!
:)) cutscenes are locked to 30fps. there is a command that unlocks them but it may cause problems, specially in conversations
Watchdogs has hitching, advanced warfare has hitching, unity has htiching, far cry 4 has hiching.
Look i can stomach low fps on a old pc, but if that pc can get 60 fps and has hitching and i have to lower the settings by ALOT to lower it, not eliminate it.
DONT release the game.
Just DONT, i am not gonna pay crazy amounts for high end pcs to not have stuttering/hitching just becasue you cant make the game run properly.
worst part is those stuttering/hichings are exist on expensive top end hardwares. see the FC4’s port report from TB, stuttering everywhere. 2014 was a bad year, i bet 2015 will follow the same root but with more broken games.
Well not many things will come out in 2015, as far as we know anyway.
My only real problem with the game is that it often doesn’t finish loading when I get into gameplay. When I start to play it gets really choppy and I even get sound loops most of the time. Like its just not quite done. I’ve installed the Beta drivers and fixed the cut scene frame rate lock. That helped but it still hasn’t fixed the problem. I should be able to run this game on at least high. Currently, the smoothest I can get it is medium high. Strangely the issues persist even when I tested it on low. Not sure what to make of it but I really hope Bioware can fix it soon. It hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the hell out of the game but it is an annoyance.
I been waiting for this game for ages. But after my last 2 pre order games where broken mess looking at you Assassins Creed Call Of Duty AW refund on both thank god. So no more pre orders for me. I know Bioware well fix this game they great at supporting gamers. I just blame the Publishers not the devs for rushing the devs to get it released ( all big games)
I preordered it. Installed it. But there’s no WAY I’m starting until it’s patched with a proper pc control scheme.
Origins and DA2 controls were perfect. Why change what works?
Because M$ didn’t pay for them to waste resources on the pc version, that’s why.
You think this and you still support them??
I guess you accept you should be treated like a second class costumer.
Best goy.
You know, despite the few weird problems with the game, it was well worth the preorder. This is one of the first PC games that is worth the GPU power it demands. It is absolutely beautiful. And of course it should be, considering it’s using the Frostbite 4 engine which is arguably the best looking PC optimized engine out there right now.
I would hardly call this a “beta” like some others. And rushing to push this game out on release date? This game was delayed by over a year. They even delayed it an additional month as it was supposed to come out in October. It’s an unfair assessment and the quality of EA games on PC has actually been far better than what you get from other companies. Look at the poor optimization in games like Assassin’s Creed, Shadow or Mordor, or Metro.
This game is top notch, although I’m a fan of linear game play over the open-world concept for RPG’s. An absolutely beautiful game. And the “fixes” required should be relatively minor.
Fixes should be minor?..
They need to totally redo the PC controls. They tried to shoehorn th default console controls into a mouse and keys setup and it’s unplayable.
You are giving them way too much credit if you do not take this huge aspect into account. I would have gladly waited another month for a proper pc control scheme. I refuse to force myself to play it as if it were a FPS
I agree the control scheme is weird and makes no sense. However, fixing a control scheme is actually a relatively easy thing to do in the grand scheme of things. Especially since they have already done it properly in the 2 previous games. When I say fixes should be minor, I mean that it’s not something that requires a do-over of critical parts of the game/game engine (which is pretty well impossible to do), which is the case with Assassin’s Creed: Unity for example.
Wow thanks for reposting the single comment bioware made on their forum a week ago, and it’s All they’ve said on the subject of issues so far.
Bad optimized title from AMD go now asap and report to Nvidia its a freaking copyright!
Can anyone tell me if DAI has normal camera controls? Like.. can you turn the camera just by moving your mouse or do you have to hold down the right mouse button for the rest of your life to turn the camera?
this game is so good, can’t stop playing it.
Dont forget about ps4 and xbox 1 we have these issues aswell
Holy wow dude! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT SITE! I was looking to research horror and wanted to get F.E.A.R so that I could play again, but wanted it on sale… This site will be my new best friend 😀
And you? Do you work in the industry? If not, then please STFU yourself. If yes, then tell us about great games you already developed.
P.S. Yes, upvote yourself.
It doesn’t really matter if he works in the industry or not. Max is correct.
Developing games that utilize all the resources separate systems have is extremely complicated because there are so many different ones. It’s true that you have the consoles that are pretty much the same hardware-wise, but even they have a PS3/360 and PS4/XBone version.
That being said this just means they need to put more effort into beta testing.. and they don’t do that enough. They haven’t adapted to the demand of the 100’s of different systems they have to cater to.
It’s kinda sad really. If they requested beta-testers from their fanbase with closed betas and make it clear that they’re signing a confidentiality agreement when they start playing they could have helped themselves a lot. I have been beta-testing for many different games, but our groups are always too small.
10 years ago we had the same three main platforms: PC (Win 98 / Win XP), Xbox and PS2, except that now they have ten times more money they had 10 or 20 years ago.
Max is not correct, because development became much more easy today than it was 10 years ago. If you don’t believe me, then open Steam Greenlight. Today you can make a game on your own if you have some skills.
Problem is not in the development itself. Problem is in big companies such as EA, who do not care what they releasing.
And if isn’t obvious most of the games became several times less complex than it was 10 or 20 years ago. RTS genre is almost extinct, replaced with cheap MOBA clones. Horrors such as Silent Hill or Call of Cthulhu were replaced with cheap Amnesia clones. FPS turned into less challenging and less complex “cinematic” crap. Etc, etc.
You’re comparing 2 things that have nothing to do with each other. There’s a HUGE difference between developing engines and games for them that takes full advantage of the hardware available. The problem is NOT the platforms, but the hardware. I said 100’s because there ARE 100’s of different systems they have to cater to. Consoles mostly have the same hardware so they’re the easy part. It’s bloody hard to make it work for all PC systems however.
You’re comparing game development of big titles to greenlight? That’s just proof you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s like comparing walking on foot to having 100’s of different cars that all need to fit on the same road.
They had 100 different systems back 10 years ago. Same AMD and Intel. Same Nvidia and ATI. DX7, DX8, DX9 and OpenGL. As I said, don’t even try to protect them.
You know, indie games should work on all hardware too. Most of them even add Linux support. And they bashed the same way if they don’t work for someone.
But I didn’t compared them. I tried to explain that development became more accessible than it was 10 or 20 years ago, thus making development easier in some ways.
These issues aside. I have to say DA Inquisition is really good. Really liking the game thus far. EA and Bioware did great job.
mount horse.. black screen then in stable and no horse at horse master , search not always work finding hidden stuff.. like red purse . warden books and letters , box at the river and many more.
Ohh yeah FIX THE BUGS TODAY!!!!!
uuhhhhh wat about the constant cutscene freezes after that greywarden friend of hawke speaks or the random ones that r forcin u to skip scenes on the ps4 idk if thats on the pc but jeez i love the game its awesome but they make me cry inside havin this constantly happen
I hope they fix the gender glitch as well. That is the only glitch I am experiencing. I am 26 hours into it. I don’t want to start over. It would also be nice for us PC users to have our melee characters auto approach the mobs when clicking on them. It’s a little tedious swinging at air. Still love the game.
I just hope they decide to release patches for Xbox 360 players as well. There are so many problems, including one that prevents me from speaking to the Iron Bull at all, which is quite the bummer because he seems to be a very interesting character. As well as some cutscenes freezing up, and necessary quest items that need to be looted from corpses dropping in places that can’t be accessed (one of those little ‘loot’ bags that drop after killing enemies got stuck in the ceiling of a dungeon so I couldn’t reach it; it had the key I needed to progress) bugs like that can be fixed just by loading a previous save though. The biggest issues are cutscene freezes, and the inability to talk to the Iron Bull.
I bought it today Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand refunded! regardless of whether “developing games is so much harder today!” or whatever bullshit some people come up with, there’s no excuse for shipping an unfinished game. The performance issues on this game make it just unplayable as it is right now on PC, even for those who meet the “recommended” specs, you get 10-15 fps on LOW. with no ETA for an upcoming PC patch, it means the devs still dont really know what’s causing these peformance issues or if they know they still dont know how to tackle them. I don’t entirely blame BioWare, I know they care about their games, I blame EA for ONCE AGAIN rushing an unfinished game. (BioWare still gets part of the blame for the “made by PC gamers for PC gamers” deception bs)
I’m disappointed! Me and my boyfriend bought Dragon age just a few days ago. I have only played 7 hours and it have randomly stooped working 30 times, it just freezes. The computer meets recommended standards and is better then minimum. We tried it on the lowest settings and It still stop working with everything from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
This just make me sad that a gaming company realises a half baked game when it looks and feels awesome. I told my close friends that the game is awesome but they shouldn’t buy it because of just this, at least not yet. Another friend of mine bought it to PS3 and he can barley play it because of glitches and bugs. It 2014 not 1972 get the s**t together!
Lol just FYI just because a game has a few fetch quests that don’t make it an MMO. DAI is a great game that has a lot to offer to people who actually take the time to play it and don’t give up so soon due to a few bugs that will get patched soon. Also I have played DAI over 100 hours and have yet to see any game breaking bugs then again I am playing on a console instead of my PC for a very good reason. Everyone knows PC ports tend to have the most issues and I bet a lot of the bad reviews came from PC owners not all but a lot. DAI is truly a great game not perfect of course but best RPG of 2014 for sure and people who don’t give it a chance will miss on a great game and regret it.
They finally make a DA title that is more open and less linear and some people still complain lol. you will notice that I said I only said some and that is because the fact is more people like the game then don’t that’s fact because sales and numbers don’t lie. Btw I own a copy of DAI for both PC and PS4 so I am speaking from personal experience for bot platforms. I own a PC that crushes any console including my PS4 so I’m no fanboy was just stating facts about how common it is for PC Ports to suck compared to its console counterparts and it’s all about optimization something that seems to be hard for Devs to get right with PC ports, which I am sure has to do with every PC not having same specs or OS.
At end of the day you can’t trust reviews these days since alot of them are from fanboys, people who don’t even play the game long enough to justify the review, and people with hidden agendas like hating on the publishers or devs for past reasons, basically haters. So only true way is to try the game for yourself at a friends house, by rental, or just watch some gameplay videos online but never make your final decision based on a review not even mine.
I bought the game figuring it would be fine, I mean my system can play far cry 4 on high, holds it’s own with any game, and I’ve never been bothered by a bug I couldn’t find a workaround to….. then after spending $80, installing all my extras, I find out about the driver requirement. Try to install new ones and learn that amd f’ed me, my windows partition not only refused to boot but it corrupted my linux partition in the process of failing… so a week later and a squeaky clean os. DA has convinced me to make my next build nvidia. Still would like to play it…
About PC release… very… very poor optimization… memory resources & C.
Agreed. I bought the game, but I’m not going to play it until they patch it.
bought this on sale and still very not impressed, in fact the graphics of this game on ps3 are so f’ing bad that im considering returning the game, i just cant get used to seeing hair that looks like a black marker drawing on someones skull or some wet plastic.. or trees that pop in and out right in front of you looking like they are from a cellshaded game… what the f’ man… i payed for this?! And then they expect me to buy dlc? I DONT THINK SO.
