Patch made performance MUCH worse
Prior to today's patch, the hitching was annoying, but the game was playable. Now, the game randomly pauses for about 3 seconds every few seconds. It does this at the title screen, while playing, i...

Did they bring out something just before the patch itself? Like many people my game was working fine then day before the patched was released I started having issues with crashing to desktop and the actual patch itself has made matters worse...
This is my first dragon age game I got it because it looked so great despite being apprehensive about purchasing anything affiliated with EA. I expect this game to be fixed and operational so I can continue to enjoy playing it but even then I wont be playing anymore games by Bioware and continue to avoid anything published by EA as best I can.
Also I would like to add that I think the developers sould be ashamed of themselves. Don't you take pride in your work?
I havent played this game since before the patch.
I really enjoyed the game, despite the frustrating bugs it has it was actually playable for me.
However juding from this thread, and other posts like it, I'm reluctant to try to play the game now, and think it might be better to wait for a while (6-12 months?) before I try playing it again.
Not that this comes as a surprise to me, EA dont exactly have a reputation for releasing games in anything more than a beta state at best.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see if this hotfix today helps us out at all, since we haven't received any official word from EA acknowledging the problem. If it doesn't well, I'll just give up because I can't play it at all as things stand.
Have you guys tried the Bioware shader fix, it has helped a few people with their crashes.
Right-click on DA:I in your Origin library, select game properties, and paste, -ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel Medium ,into the command line box.
In the game video settings set 'Mesh Quality' to 'Medium' to match the shader level.
Bioware are working on a hotfix, when it is released you will need to remove the command line.

Yeah I tried this and it did nothing for the horrible hitching/freezing/stuttering... I believe that only affects the detail issue people have been having (shiny hair, missing scars/facial features etc). Even the hotfix made no mention of the hitching/freezing issues.. the hotfix sounds like merely a "fix" for the shader quality issues.
I'm not holding my breath.
