Nvidia's more recent graphics drivers are incompatible with Dragon Age II and cause all kinds of glitches in the DX11 renderer.
The last compatible driver version is 340.52 ( 32 bit | 64 bit ). If you encounter any graphical glitches, I suggest you install this driver version.

Update
Drivers post 361.75 may now work better.
I've reduced the frequency of the crashes out. Tried too many things to be sure what helped and what did not, but I added RAM to the max, and turned off origin during the game (there's a tick box I found somewhere in the origin window) I think that helped. Still get the occasional problem though. Should say that was for problems during Inquisition.
Hey,
I had the same issue with the driver 359.00 installed (& a high end notebook with a 980m). I solved it this way:
- I reduced the texture quality from very high to high (this alone didn't change anything). All other graphic options are set to the max.
- I installed the latest driver 361.75 with a clean install (so all old profiles got erased)
Now the game is working fine, been playing ~10 hours since then & no more texture errors or graphic glitches. Game looks still pretty good with the HD texture pack installed.
Oh best just keep it to Nvidia directx 9. When i do a very huge fight scene, direct 11 freezes
Just Activate the FXAA option on the NVIDIA Control Panel, I have a GTX 970 and it solved the issue for me, the FXAA comes off by default.
I did it for the Global Settings, but you can do it only for DA2 on the Program Settings Tab.
omg thx you so much it's really working
