Well the only fixes that I came across fo rthis particular fix was to create a .cfg file and drop change the number of job threads and cut pre-rendered frames to my monitors refresh rate. When i added an overlay I noticed I went up to 5 job threads in patch (it keeps one in reserve.) Prior to that players were reporting job thread counts of 2-3.... Credit goes the appropriate players for the .cfg tweak below...
I have a i7 quad core so the max allocation of CPU hyperthreads is 6 for me.
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6
gametime.maxvariablefps 60
However, that said it did 'help' with the CPU spikes but my copy was still somewhat unstable but I didn't like crashing in Tac Cam so after all that. I finally uninstalled Origin and DAI and reinstalled it. As Origin verifies the game key just go into the menu and turn off all auto-updates and ignore non-mandatory updates, and take Origin out of in-game. I backed up my saves but since they are marked either patch1 or 2 right now they are unplayable.. I lost a huge chunk of game time (200+ hours over serveral story lines/toons) but it's more playable in it's pre-patch state and that said it's actually more stable then in it's patch 1 build for me.
Run CCleaner anyway, I did. It's good little program and i really like it more than what I regularlly use (N360 Disk Doctor.)
I did a clean boot as well. both procedures can be found on the forums (they're not really needed, but I do regular maintenance on my PC about every 2 wks anyway so I figured I try something new.

not to burst your bubble but this is not a fix for everyone, however it does help with some stability.
I also helped (indirectly) leetminiwheat with the testing.
I also noticed during said testing that you get one less thread if using nvidia vs amd
i used the command Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8
with the nvidia cards installed I got a return of 6 threads
with AMD I got a return of 7 threads.... just f.y.i.
Yeah like I said it 'helped' but it wasn't worth it, so after all the time I spent on the forums I went back to pre-patch. It's the best solution at the moment.
On an older system that meets the minimum requirements and that plays Shadow of Mordor and any other recent game just fine even on high settings. DA:I however will simply not work.during the prologue the game was dreadfully slow and my system crashed every five minutes due to directx errors. I fixed that by playing in full windowed mode... but now it is simply unplayable. From what I have read, this is clearly a software issue. When will there be a patch to fix the mulitude of problems or will there be a refund issued for digital versions of the game?
