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.

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.
