I've recently got a new laptop and DA:O keeps crashing early on in the game when it has to load a new area (playing as a city elf, it crashes when I try to leave my house to the alienage.) I've tried updating my PC, repairing the file, the 4gb patch, etc. On my previous laptop I had no problems playing DAO and have run out of ideas to try to get it to work, I've attached the DxDiag for my laptop, I'd appreciate any help
Try to disable EA app overlay:
EA App > Profile Picture > Settings > Application > In-game overlay > Off.
If that don't helps, repair the game.
(Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)
(EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
(Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)
Unfortunately neither of those worked ☹️ but I'm happy to give any other ideas a go
1. Hit Windows key and X.
2. Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)", whichever option is offered.
3. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
4. If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
5. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
6. The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
7. After it reaches 100% reaped steps 1 & 2
8. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes > ENTER.
10. Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.
