Direct X Error Crashes Dragon Age Inquisition To Desktop (Details)

I was just wondering if anyone is monitoring their temps for the GPU. I'm noticing that the crash is happening when my gpu gets passed 90 degrees. I'm wondering if the issue is causing my GPU to get that hot or if I just need a new GPU. I think it's my GPU but I was just wondering if this is happening to anyone else playing dai. It consistently crashes when the temps go above 90 degrees and the directx message appears.

I doubt "Bad commands" have anything to do with GPU temp. If you start seeing odd things in your monitor (stripes, odd colors, etc), then it's probably a temp issue.

Thanks for the reply but no the picture and graphics look fine. The GPU just tends get too hot and then the game crashes but only the game crashes not my whole computer and I get the same directx error as everyone else here. I was just wondering if its related.

For those that don't know, this is an issue with the Frostbite engine itself. It is one of the many issues that Bioware failed to correct before developing DA:I. Battlefield 4 had the exact issue and it has been corrected. You can read about it here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/BF4-DirectX-Error-GetDeviceRemovedReason/td-p/1915085

I uninstalled because the patch 5 beta greatly increased the number of crashes on my end. In tell Bioware fixes the issue I'm done with DA:I and Bioware/EA.

also having this problem on a GTX 680, only just upgraded to the latest drivers...

game worked just fine at launch.

This is a fantastic error.

/sarcasm

Prior to now I only experienced perhaps 6 crashes over the many hours of playing.

Ever since the release (and install) of Patch 5, the game will crash within 5 minutes almost without fail. It will also crash within 1 minute if I access the Planning Table, and run a couple of objectives.

I'm actually playing my second toon this time around, and it took me 4 attempts to run the cutscenes and conversations just to get to Skyhold without it crashing. The unskippable singing made me wish slaughtering the whole camp was an option :P

I run a Nividia Gefore GTX 770.

Patch 5 is an abysmal joke.

I have played the first 89 Hours of DAI with only about 3 DirectX crashes. Ever since they patched it 3 days ago I cannot play for more than a couple of minutes without this crash and message:

DirectX function “GetDeviceRemovedReason” failed with

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (“The application’s device failed due to

Badly formed commands sent by the application. This is an

Design-time issue that should be investigated and fixed.”) GPU:”AMD

Radeon R9 200 series", Driver: 14.12 AMD Catalyst Omega Software

(14.501.1003-141120a-177998C)

Does anyone know a fix? I tried disabling Origin in game and putting post process to low but it made no difference.

I see it seems to mainly be people who have NVidia cards but I don't. Not sure what to do, they broke the game by patching it.

So what now stop playing DA until they patch it again and hope that one fixes it?

I'm tired of buying games that don't work because companies want to start cashing in and figure we will all just have to sit and wait for them to fix bugs, if they ever even decide to. There was a time when games were released they actually worked and patches were rarely required....

The only solution seems to be to buy the game when it has dropped off the scene and is selling for virtually nothing, by then every patch should be out and you don't have to go through this. This is my usual strategy, but I bought DAI too soon. Should have waited till it was dirt cheap.

i completed the game fine at launch

now, after few months wanted to go through once again, but no, dx crashes every cutscene

nice patching indeed

i've already dropped battlefield, seems like EA wants me to stop buying all games with their trademark.

This is becoming ridiculous!

I can't go through a cut scene without crashing! Never happened a few weeks back. It all started with the latest patch.

EA, please fix this ASAP! It hurts the game experience....

I found that setting all the graphics settings to medium and post process to low. Running in Borderless Window and Origin in game disabled the game will run and not crash, on my system anyway.

If I try tweak the settings up one by one the game will crash to a white screen after playing a minute or two.

I have only managed to max out Mesh with no crashing.

Medium settings may work for you, if you're prepared to play with such low graphics settings 😕mileymad:

Personally I didn't buy my expensive hardware to play new games with graphics settings on anything but max.

Really EA fix this problem we pay good money for these games.
