Thanks for the information @GrandInfi.

There is a bunch of threads with very different solutions to problems happening with Windows 10 that may help:

- Problem saving in DA:O after updating from win7 to win10

- Dragonage Origins crashes windows 10

- Can't launch Dragon Age Origins on Windows 10

Is your new computer running Windows 10 too @Fayether?

One other thing not mentioned in these threads is to try running the game in compatibility mode (See: Running a game in compatibility mode in Windows 10 in the official FAQ).

Hope that helps.

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.
