Write here everyone who wants a patch to play 2-core laptops. We must demand this. We also have the right to play DA: I.Say NO to bad optimization.

It would be amazing if getting enough people to make a noise about it would get it a patch to allow dual cores to run the game, even on the lowest settings. I was looking forward to play this game for months and preordered it but was severely dissapointed to find out that I couldn't even get to the menu. It would have been nice if advertisements stated clearly that dual cores would absolutely not be able to run it in any way at least before the game came out. I got a refund on it. If a patch did come out to allow dual cores I would instantly buy it again. I'm just too poor to upgrade when my computer runs everything else just perfectly.

Yes, at least allow the dual core machines into the game, even if we have to run on the lowest settings.

You will not be able to "blackmail" Bioware / EA into offering official support for a bypassed, redundant technology. Time has marched on. The day of the single core processor passed eight years ago. It's now been a couple of years, probably even three, that dropping the duals has been overdue. Look to outside tweaker types and the aftermarket's resources for what you want to keep the old dinosaurs creaking along. Sorry. (and the typos, courtesy of a cheap keyboard with very flat, shallow-stroke keys that don't do any favors for large hands -- I'm getting an expensive -- keyboardwise, at least, Cherry keyboard with old style mechanical switches.)

This poor horse is so dead that there is nothing but a heap of bones left. It's not going to get up and run. The race is over, you lost, you waited far too long to join the second decade of the 21st century, sorry about that.

My CPU is literally 6 years old, and even at it's time it was relatively cheap (150 bucks). I'm talking about a Phenom II x4 920. And it still runs DA:I quite well even with almost every option at Ultra.So I'd rather "order" some PC knowledge to the users when it's time to buy your stuff. When I bought mine I just knew it was meant to last quite a bit.

No offence to you, but why not a campaign for those with Windows XP, or an older GPU or less RAM. Quad Core is on the minimum requirements for the game. You cant expect every game to beable to play on older components. The amount of people who have complained when a 64 Bit only game has been released over the past few years has been great, but they too have had to come to the realisation that they cant blame developers for not being able to cater to everyone. My pc is over 2 years old now and was bought on a budget, and yet it is a quad core system, and when my components start to show their age, its time for an upgrade. One of the main advantages of having a pc is you can upgrade it when parts become outdated, otherwise you might as well get a console for games.

Yep, 10 fps would not be so frustrating as black screen of death

That post was well thought out, but the concern is about what seems like an artificial block of dual cores. I would be much more understanding if the block was not present and my machine would simply not run the game smoothly. Unfortunately, this is not the case as all dual core machines are not even allowed into the menu screen.

My biggest mistake was thinking "Well, I can play BF4 on settings somewhere between medium and high so I can at least run DA:I on low." EA/Bioware is losing so many customers, I didn't refund only because I plan to buy new laptop in January

We just want to play the game, and yes even on lowest setting so please make a patch for dual core, please Bioware. And yes i know the minimum System requirements is quad core, but don't even get to the main menu is just unfair.
