dragon age 5 fps
so i got dragon age inquisition a couple of months ago and finished the game on ultra setting running at 60 fps and then stopped playing for a month i went back a few days ago but when i played as my second character the game ran a 5 fps i then turn down the graphics to the lowest settings but even then it only played at 15 fps
i have a meta-box laptop
specs
processor: Intel cor 17-6700hq cpu
ram: 16.0 GB 15.9 GB usable
graphic cards: nvidia 1060
i dont really understand computers hardware and things like driver
The game hasn't updated since you last played, so what changed on your computer since that time??
3 things will effect FPS...
1) GPU/graphics card...ie driver or your card has an issue and needs some attention....either update driver, fix cooling issue, or settings with Nvidea control panel.
2) Ram is full......ie, something is taking up a bunch of room in your computers working memory and it is having to work around it with virtual space on HD, so it is taking alot of time to handle the data from the game.
3) CPU/main processor is busy....ie something else is running and using the CPU instead of letting the game get all the time on it, that the game needs.
Unfortunately, no one here can see any of these items...
If you posted a DxDiag we could take a look at driver and see if any crash reports are in it that may indicate an issue, but you didn't include one. The other issues are going to have to be monitored while you play and see what is going on while you are playing. something like speedfan(google search it) is a good item for MONITORING ONLY your temps in your machine(DON'T USE IT TO MODIFY FAN SPEEDS!!!!!) Process explorer is a good tool to use to see how much CPU and Ram is being used....https://technet.microsoft.com/
After that....well, make sure your operating system isn't updating in the background and make sure it and your drivers are all up to date....
Post back with results and further data....hmm...read this too....http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/How-to-post-the-relevant-info-when-you-create-a-question/m-p/4356255#M47685
