Dragon Age: Origins random crashing.

LITERALLY JUST KILLED "Mother" JUST FOR MY GAME TO CRASH BEFORE SAVING. So broken.

I am also having this problem.  The Game runs fine for a while and then Crashes suddenly.  EA really needs to Pay attention to its forums and give us some hint as too why?

I think it's just been so long since the game's last update that this section of the forums is simply irrelevant to EA. Either that, or even they don't know a solution so they simply ignore it thinking it'll go away.

Hi @GrandInfi,

Please remember that Answers HQ is a player-to-player forum. If you wish to contact the official support team, you should submit a ticket here.

If you would rather have the community try and help you, join a DxDiag to your post (See: How to gather DxDiag information) as this will give more information about your whole system.

Not to sound rude in any way shape, shape, or form; but I've already sent a ticket. I've sent tickets on multiple occasions over the years, not to mention called the EA/Origin support number and had to wait 32 minutes my last call just to speak with them; only to hear that they hadn't an idea as to what was causing the issue. So sending another ticket at this point in time seems like a step down from the forums.

*edit: by call I'm referring to the live chat.

*edit 2: before anyone suggests calling the HQ, I've attempted that; though the moment I was redirected the 2nd time from "customer support" to "I'm also customer support", I'd lost it. I've the call recorded as evidence in regards to that unfortunate waste of my time.

I've tried it on my older model computer and it never crashes. But I had to keep in on lowest settings and it had other problems. Now I'm trying to play it again on my newer computer and I'm also crashing a bunch.

Woo! The compatibility mode solution works for me; or rather, it does for the time being. I've been playing it for the past few hours with no problems thus far. So I would highly recommend for anyone to try that if none of the other solutions work for you. Oh, however, keep in mind that in the link leading to "the Official FAQ" that the instructions do mention to do it with the desktop shortcut. I did not do that due to the fact that the desktop short cut I use is merely for the launcher, so I had to go into my files to find the "DAOrigins.exe" and NOT "DAOriginsLauncher.exe".

Also 3 of the 4 links you listed were relatively unhelpful due to the nature of my initial question, and the information provided by them.

Yeah, @EA_Zoe I'm using windows 10.

@GrandInfi I just tried compatibility mode and it made the application start skipping. Or I guess it was the frames. I'm not sure. I had to turn it off because it only made things worse.

@Fayether; What install do you have?  (Steam? Retail disc? EA/Origin? Other?)  I

f not EA/Origin, I recommend that you grab your product code from the current install, then un-install it (keeping your saves, of course!) and re-install it via Origin.
