Dragon Age 2 crash on startup
Recently re-downloaded DA2 after uninstalling it a while back. DL went fine, everything looked good. Tried to start it up, got to the launcher, clicked play, and got the error message: Dragon Age II ...
Searched around a bit and found out some other possible solutions that you might try (see this thread on social Bioware for the whole discussion):
- Do these changes in your graphical settings:
--In game video options:
DX 11 with 'high' graphics detail and the high resolution texture pack. Very high graphics makes the shadows and lighting look horrible and it freezes . AA and aniso @ 4x. I didn't checkmark any of the 3 boxes below aniso, just the high res textures.
--Launcher config video options:
Play in full screen; vertical sync, disable multiple render targets and disable aspect-ratio correction check marked.
The game looks much better then settling with DX9 and has not froze once for about 12 hours of staggered playing accross 3 days, once for a 5 hour stretch.
- Running the game in full screen and DX9 mode.
- If you have a sound card: Update its driver or use the inbuilt sound on the motherboard (this seams unlikely that it will help according to me but it has for at least one).
- Disable all over clocking of your graphic card.
- Under clock you graphic card (see the thread for more info)
I haven't had the need to try either of these for myself but I hope that one of them can help you. Good luck.
