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...

I just got finished with customer support and here is what we did to fix my game. I had the same issues you all were having which we narrowed down to being an origin update issue. You may have installed the patch but origin can have issues recognizing the changes and freak out.
Do all of these steps listed below in that order. When finished with each step re launch origin and accept the user agreement and when it has verified your games right click inquisition and check for updates. After that has finished right click again to repair your game. The repair will make sure origin recognizes the updates. It will take a few minutes to do everything but it got rid of my issues.

Hi all, I was able to fix my stuttering issues caused by the patch. I had a feeling my Nvidia drivers weren't playing nice with the patch for some reason, so I uninstalled all of them, rebooted in safe mode and completely nuked them with Display Driver Uninstaller, then rebooted once more and redownloaded the latest drivers from Nvidia.
Granted, I haven't applied the hotfix yet - sounds like the servers are being hammered and I think I'd rather let that one lie until tomorrow, anyway. XD
I did all of this and it had absolutely no effect.
Yeah, none of this is helping at all.
It's all rather sad considering I can run Unigen Heaven on Extreme settings without hitching at all. I can run BF4, Shadow of Mordor, Elder Scrolls Online, etc all on ultra or max and they all look better than Dragon Age 3 yet Dragon Age 3 acts as if it is some uber innovative graphically intensive game running on a 10 year old system..
Honestly what in the hell? How does a game that looks like this run this terribly after a simple patch, and how do they not consider this massive hitching/stuttering/freezing issue important enough to say anything about it? Did anybody really give a F about the shiny hair? I didn't even have an issue with shiny hair. My game ran fine and then they patch the game into absolute hilarity with massive game-breaking shuddering/hitching.
lolz...
Fix pls.
Thanks for the tips, Trooperr2
I tried the advice you received and it worked straight away. I only had to perform steps 2 and 3. Damn Origin.
Is this a standard problem for Bioware Games updating through the Origin UI?
DAI is my first game I`ve bought on PC:Origin and it seems like this sort of obvious frustration could be avoided if it was better (or make that - at all)

Try this! It worked for me. Still got my face scars too.

I also followed your tip, Trooperr2, thanks a LOT for posting it!
I don't know if it was this or the hotfix (or both together), but now the stuttering is gone. It worked!
So, one happy gamer jumping back into Thedas now :D

http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/Thank you for sharing this with us ! I was having FPS issues, it did the trick for me !
Hi, I hope this will work also, after searching like a mad man for more than 5 days non stop I have found another way to try and this is updating your BIOS. I had errors every 8-10 mins into the game and after that crash, I have updated EVERY driver that I could and still nothing until I did the BIOS update. Now I can play the game with no errors at all.
Hope all you guys having this issue will solve the problem
