Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition stutters

Hello,

I downloaded the game a few weeks ago, it always stutters, the whole time. That goes for the main game as well as for the dlc's.

I tried all the video options and updated every driver. Anyone got the same problem or some solutions?

    @GrooveTrigger Hey, thanks for giving the details. Next, can you try restarting your machine with a Clean Boot and see if that has any effect?

    The machine you're using isn't cutting-edge, but it should be enough to handle DAO relatively smoothly, so we want to see if there is anything local running on your machine that might be impeding performance.

    Thanks, please let us know how you get on.

    The Clean Boot had a slight positive effect, but still not running smoothly.

    I Forgot to mention that I had the game on disc a couple of years ago, back then it ran really good.

    And I also have DA:Inquisition which runs without any problems, same goes for the latest Tomb Raider, Max Payne, LA Noire, AC 1 up to AC 3 and others.

    Thanks for the update.

    Can you go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship and run DAOriginsConfig.exe?

    There you can tweak individual settings, but I suspect it won't have much effect. 


    Check the Summary tab and see if it's showing your Display Adapter correctly. 

    If it's not, pop into the Display tab and check if you can find it on the drop-down menu.

    There's everything correct, I check stuff like that at first. As I said, newer games with higher graphic requirements are running really smooth, so I don't think it's because of my hardware. Maybe it's just bad luck 🙂
