Dragon age 2 crash and lag

I am playing all the Dragon Age games and DLC's, i finished with Origins and all his DLC's. When first starting DA2 everything runned smoothly on very high settings. I played the prologue until after the character creation just outside Lothering the game randomly crashed. I searched some solutions and one of them was updating AMD drivers, so i did by right-clicking on my home screen: Radeon settings and searching for updates. I installed the optional update 19.12.3.

I launched the game after the updates and the game lagged very much, even on the title screen - main menu. I tried if the game would crash and it did. Now sometimes when the game crashes my PC is blocking and i have to shut down my PC by pressing the starting button for 10 sec or cutting the power.

Other things that i tried to solve this problem is lowering quality, trying other screen resolutions, switch to DirectX9 in the options screen, trying to play the game in compatibility mode windows 7 and windows XP. None of them worked

Anyone knows how to solve this? Normally my PC is good enough to play recent games on High settings so that cannot be the problem

Computer specs:

- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core (12 threads) 3.6Ghz (turbo: 4.2Ghz)

- AMD RX 5700 8GB GDDR6

-Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64bit ESD

- Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming PCI-E USB3 SATA600 M2 DDR4

- 512GB NeoForza SATA600 SSD

    Hi @benjaminve667

    I'm wondering if there might be some corrupted files in the game installation. When you have the chance can you try repairing Dragon Age 2 in Origin to see if that helps? 

    If you right-click on DA2 in your Origin Library you should see the Repair option in the menu that comes up. Let me know if that helps.
