I just installed dragon age origins on my macbook pro (which meets all requirements) but everytime i click play i get this message "Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000038 at address 0x0088d374. Do you wish to debug it ?" If i click "yes" it takes me back to my desktop, if i click "no" the screen stays black but i can hear audio occasionally. What can i do to fix it?
Hi tw3301,
No problem at all.
Under Mac you have a Preference folder for every game or software you are running. This file contains basic set up for your game. If something gets corrupted there this kind of message or crash can occur. If I am not mistaken the path to find that folder is under Users\[username]\Library\Preferences.
From there, look for the Dragon Age Origins folder and simply delete it. When you will run the game again, this folder will be created anew.
Hopefully this will work without having to reinstall the game.
I am having almost the exact same problem, only I don't hear any audio while the screen is black. Installing the game was a huge pain—I had to run the installer something like 12 times before it finally "took".
Did you ever find a solution? Getting customer support from EA is like pulling teeth. I just want to play this dumb game.
With open-ended problems such as this one, especially when we do not yet have a solution for the original author, it is preferable to separate problems and questions with PCs. Only game consoles will always have the same answer to fixing the same (apparent) problem.
I do not like Apple products, not after the Apple 2E 8-bit PC, so I can't help with specifics, or even with a suggested outline for making a report thant will cover all the bases.
