dmen77 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Wtf is 60fps exe? it is an inserted command line in the inquisition exe that forces the games cutscenes out of the 30 frames per second limit the game gates them at. You just insert this: -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+ into the launch command in Origin or at the end of the target line of a shortcut.
Redflyingmonkey Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 it is an inserted command line in the inquisition exe that forces the games cutscenes out of the 30 frames per second limit the game gates them at.

Yeah now that's the one thing I want them to patch on consoles. I'm capped at 30 too on cutscenes on the Xbone and of course I can't edit the .exe on there. Why did they put that cap on though ? It's perfectly fine at 60 during hardcore fights, surely cutscenes shouldn't drop 30 fps on a whim like that, I mean it's just cutscenes. It's not unplayable or anything but the sudden FPS drop makes some cutscenes bug out and I never saw the end of that Cassandra romance sex scene gawd daymmmmm
AwfulArchdemon Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Should not be necessary at all. This game's in need of patchwork. I still freeze constantly, even with the new NVIDIA driver. I feel very uncomfortable every time a cut-scene starts. Takes away any enjoyment I could get from watching cinematic scenes. Well, I had the cutscene-crashes as well, but no longer since the latest patch. And even before the patch not any longer. I did the stuff recommened like disabling origin-overlay and also use the 60fps-exe. But what really seemed to have had an impact on that was this tip I found while searching: (though I cannot verify it, I am not very technically savy, I just tried it and had no more issues even with hours of gameplay, even a new one which has a lot of cutscenes in the beginning) In your graphic options turn down post-process quality to low and post-process antialising to medium and your problem will go away. Don't forget to restart the game for changes to take effect. Once EA issues a patch feel free to bump those settings up again, but until then this is what fixed it for me. After that the problem indeed seemed to have been solved for me, and also didn't see much of a difference in graphics-quality (though again, I am no expert on this and think a lot of games have high graphics quality when others might say it looks cheap. Everything with graphics better than PAcman is awesome to me ). Maybe give it a try. I used this after I crash-freezed about for times in a row during a cutscene in the Witner-palace. And after these changes it immediatly worked and not a single time a crash since that, ever again. Yet maybe I am just lucky Actually, I tried all of those steps before I posted before. I was sure that the new patch, along with the recommended driver version would fix the crashes, but then they happened again. Usually there's something you can do to fix any problem, but I can't seem to resolve my crashing. It remains impossible to create an elf without the game crashing at the beginning. I suddenly went to desktop a couple days ago while playing MP. I was about to beat Threatening, dammit! Aside from that, the game never crashes. Just cut-scenes and the occasional MP crash (rare). Still, just once I'd like to be able to sit down and enjoy the cinematics without having to be worried the whole time. DAO and DA2 never crashed, even with a bunch of mods. Different engine though.
Chaos63 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Weird. My 1gb Nvidia can't run the game above 5fps on minimum, but my borrowed 1gb AMD gets 40fps on normal. This whole thing was a driver issue? Both cards updated for Inquisition...
gregathit Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm rocking a EVGA GTX 650Ti with driver version 344.11 and have had zero graphical issues or crashes. I wonder what the issue that others are having stems from? I wonder if it is just certain brands of nvidia cards that are having issues?
dmen77 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I have an nvidia and the lowest I have gone is 35 fps during heavy special effects fights but I run 45-50 fps during normal exploration. I don't see many of the problems that many people post about. The only real problem I had was my new character would not advance past the initial Fade cutscene if I was not in fullscreen, that was a weird one.
AwfulArchdemon Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'm rocking a EVGA GTX 650Ti with driver version 344.11 and have had zero graphical issues or crashes. I wonder what the issue that others are having stems from? I wonder if it is just certain brands of nvidia cards that are having issues? Mine's a GeForce GTX 650ti. I got the driver recommended specifically for DAI, but it changed nothing. It seems extremely random. The game may not crash, or it might take like 45 seconds, or it might happen immediately. Every single cut-scene is a potential crash. My DirectX issues went away at some point in my troubleshooting, though.
gregathit Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 One thing I figured out is never go to GeForce.com to get your drivers UNLESS your card's manufacturer states to do so. For example, my card is made by EVGA and they do their own driver testing. I ALWAYS get my drivers from them and only from them as they are tailored to my particular card. I learned this the hard way by seeing an EVGA card of mine get burned up (it was an old 8800) by using the GeForce "latest" drivers. Food for thought anyway, as I've yet to have a single crash or slow down with DAI.....so far anyway........knock on wood.
Demonwise Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I have to agree with gregathit here. Mind you I have a fairly high-end rig with a superclocked nvidia 980 but I have only had the game crash once and have never had a problem with framrates at all.
AwfulArchdemon Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Really? I read that overclocking all but makes the game unplayable. Then again, my Alienware supposedly overclocks automatically. Haven't investigated that. I've read a lot of things about the game...but yeah, I was using the latest from GeForce Experience, and even tried a beta release. Ended up switching to non-beta when DAI started crashing, but it didn't help much (if at all...it's random crashing, so hard to tell). I now use the recommended (specifically for DAI for NVIDIA users) driver now, with the same ol' crashing. Still feeling pretty happy about the game though, because I finally beat a f***ing dragon! Took me a lifetime to beat that bastard, but man was it sweet!
windpl Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 My nivida drivers are few months old by rule if it is working don't fix it.. I did not have a single crash but I'm on w7 so maybe w8 is an issue.
winny257 Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 NOTE: You are free to like or hate DA:O, DA2 or DA3. You are NOT free to insult others for liking one over the other or the same as the other or whatever. Further insulting of others over their likes will incur warnings. By the way, I enjoyed all three DA games. Yes, I even enjoyed DA2 JUST AS MUCH AS DA:O. Deal with it. Everyone is different and has different tastes. And no, I am NOT a console gamer. I am an old school keyboard and mouse dude. Ain't life grand! you talking to me out of the heart.

I did not have a single crash but I'm on w7 so maybe w8 is an issue. My graphics card is very dated (only currently) nvidia GeForce 520 and windows 7, I also had until now no crash, although I have not updated the driver, it runs smoothly.

Well, a pity then, but it was woth a shot trying to help... but that's also what a PC is all about: For some stuff works, for others it doesn't. One has to admit: Consoles usually don't have THAT! And to the annoying discussion DAO : DA2 : DAI I could post endless arguments, but I have enough of that over at BSN with the usual complainers that think they are the majority just because they post the same stuff constantly in every thread to make it look like that
Redflyingmonkey Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 What's going on with that fucking Origin website ? I can't click on anything ! I swear, this shite with uplay are going to make me go completely crazy.

Serpentus Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I had a 560ti before Dragon Age inquisition pratically fried it XD Now i'm on a 970 gtx
gregathit Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Windows 8.1 user here and working fine. I have a 3 year old alienware aurora with 12GB of RAM, i7 930 (2.8Ghz) CPU, 64 bit system, EVGA 650 Ti graphics card, creative SB x-Fi audio card. I'm still using the 344.11 drivers from EVGA. As windpl stated, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, when it comes to drivers. I never upgrade until I start having problems.
windpl Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Rant: I was thinking about rolling out mage, to see if there any differences because in DAO there was huge difference. But god, I hate this awful pyjamas. Armour design in DAI is just awful. There is few exceptions but they are race locked or NPC locked. And what with this Baroque altitude now, showing and unclothed ankle is a sin? Not talking about some sort of plate mail biniki but where are skirt armours (like roman/greek had - they were in DAO) or something that actually look that wearing that would be at least not uncomfortable. Awful, just awful.
quin666 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 Window 8.1 64 bit system AMD FX 8320 8 core 3.50GHz overclock to 4.0GHz Memory Ram 8.00GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Experience little to no problems. My game strutter from time to time, but gone now.
Chaos63 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 You really have to sweat bullets to make this thing run on dual core. If there was ever time for an upgrade, this is it...
Koko.Hekmatyar Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 DA:I requires a quad core CPU but can run on DC. However, Are you running on windows 8? The DC issues are supposed to be exclusive to people using a DC CPU and Windows 8 as I understand it.
Chaos63 Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 My gaming hdd is win8, while my primary hdd is win7. I'll try switching back and forth tomorrow, see if it makes a difference.
Darkening Demise Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 How screwed am I? AMD Quad-Core A6-3620 Accelerated Processor 8GB DDR3 system memory AMD Radeon HD 6530D integrated graphics 1TB hard drive Windows 7 64-bit
gregathit Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Should be fine. Sounds like the only ones having issues are folks with less than quad cores.
