Patch 2 killed the game ( for me )
Well , before the patch I have logged 80+ hours of the game . . Without an issue at all But since the patch of death I can barely log 20 minuttes before the game sends my PC into hibernation. . ...

Community AdminHow does the offline crash manifest? If you tab out, say every 10 minutes, does the hibernation occur again. If you play in fullscreen windowed, do you see similar behaviour?
It happens at random times , but sure enough it happens anywhere from 10 minuttes to an hour , but kicker is :
When it happens once ( maybe after an hour of play) and I keep playing it happens sooner and sooner 2nd crash after 20 minuttes of play 3rd crash after 10 minuttes and so forth, untill a point where after I reload the game it crashes when taking a step. .
I tried to tap out , played in "full windowed" , Windowed , tried to manipulate graphic settings, make user files . .
It just crashes into hibernation mode . . .

Certainly unusual symptoms. If you try playing with 1 GPU do you get the same behaviour? If you monitor CPU usage does it spike shortly before the crash? Are there any other processes using a lot of CPU at that time?
- Approved
Ive tried to switch primary GPU , shut one of them down , Have closed all other non essential applications, etc.
Point is it happened after the 2nd patch , because I was gaming along like the happy little gamer freak i am, and after mid-december it has been damn near impossible . .- EA_David
Aye, I'm asking as most of those reporting post-patch 2 issues are related to CPU -usage, and are seeing differing symptoms. It sounds like whatever changes made in patch 2 are triggering an issue on the machine, and if that issue can be found then you should be good going forward.
You can perform a pseudo-rollback by going to Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update and moving the Patch folder to desktop. However this comes with the very notable drawback of invalidating your saves until you update/replace the folder and might not be enough to affect your issue anyway.
It might be worth doing so, then starting a new game and using the resource monitor to check for differences.
