Origins and DLC crash. HELP!
Well, just got a new gaming machine. It's over qualified for a lot of these old games and like others out there I'm stuck just like everyone else. I've tried uninstall/re-install tactic, changing resolutions, changing administrator settings, changing affinity, compatibility, verifying files (steam download), driver updates, changing firewall settings, and I can't recall what else at the moment. I downloaded both Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition from Steam client downloader. My machine has:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Driver: 417.22
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.2GHz
7.86 GB RAM
1920 x 1080, 60Hz
Downloaded both origins and DLC from Steam (as I mentioned earlier).
I even tried changing settings in the local file folders and the launcher itself with basically the same results. I wish I could get more than 1 problem fixed in a thread like this to get my level 27 warrior from my other computer but, I need to tweak the storyline anyway :P. Thanks to whomever helps with the fixes!
So... not really a tech support forum since none of them really ever show up. I believe I discovered a fix for my game and hope that anyone else that may be pulling their hair out over any graphics issue sees this (and may have the same Nvidia card I mentioned in previous comments) so they came get back to having fun.
I skimmed through a few YouTube videos and found something that is allowing me to play! It takes about 10 minutes... or depending on your download speed to do this fix. If you follow these two videos below you should be able to get your graphics challenges under control:

The important video has information to go to two different sites and is very easy even though it is 3 years old. Just watch it and it should help no matter where you get your games. The OP in the video uses Origin and I use Steam...
