Re: Working solution for Intel dual core CPUs!

This one didn't work for me. It says my hardware can't handle the driver. UGH. Bioware said this would be able to run on your PC if it could run DA2. Patch this. It's horribly optimized around the board, from what I've heard.

    Patching for dual cores is VERY unlikely, IMO.  Patches that optimize some aspects that affect both Quads and Dual core systems may open things somewhat for the (unsupported) Dual core CPU owners, assuming they have the Hyperthreaded processor versions.   Anyone wanting to maon and groan about "promises" is off topic here.  This is the Answer HQ community, not Bioware, not EA. 

    Take those complaints to those people.  We made no one any promises.  I wasn't even on the Bioware DA: I forums in between DA:2 (which I couldn't abide) and this game, so I have no idea what any Bioware people may have been saying before they released their System Requirements six weeks ago, which CLEARLY demand a quad.

    We were promised it would be supported, though. So. Foot in mouth.

  • Why can I play battlefield 4 with a e8400 core 2 duo and a NV770 4gb then? Smooth with no stuttering. Can we get Dice to patch the game?

    I just cant believe that Bioware would do rookie engineering stuff like this after all the flak they took about DA2 and ME3.

    The player community of Answer HQ makes no such promises to anyone, and takes no responsibility for supporting any such.  Complain to Bioware, not to your fellow game players! 

  • I got a Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU 6700 @ 2.66GHz  It has hyperthreading but none of the links work and game still not started. Any suggestions? 

    I got loading screen, Bioware bit hear music than just black...

    For starters, you do not speak on behalf of the community.

    Secondly, no one said the "community" promised anything.   This is a message board, OWNED BY EA and REDIRECTED FROM BIOWARE.   These are EA and Bioware's Tech Support forums.

    Stop the nonsense talk.  Many of us have this game working but there are still plenty of people who need actual help.  You trying to argue invalid semantics with people is not contributing.  Move along.

    Do you have a source for that? As far as I know, this was not promised. Someone from BioWare said it ran on his dual-core processor, but the system requirements are the only official source.

    Same for me.  Dual core and running Vista-64, all other requirements met.  I think I'm screwed out of the game completely til I can upgrade.
