Working solution for Intel dual core CPUs!
If you're using a dual-core Intel system and pulling your hair out at the crash/freeze before the menu, forum member wolfman2k has found a solution. It's worked on at least 5 people's machines in th...

Actually, just about the time that I answered that -- responding to someone with Vista, instead of what the game is supposed to look for, another Vista user commented that a newer version of Dx11 for Vista had allowed him / her to run this game on that OS. ....
I am not able to find a newer version of Dx11 for Vista. 11.1 and 11.2 are only Win7 and 8. Can you elaborate on where someone can find a newer version of Dx11 installable on Vista? My Dxdiag64 shows Dx11 and up to date Direct3D etc.
Then I still also have the dual core problem of course, but still holding out hope I guess. Maybe there's a workaround for Vista, and a separate workaround for dual cores, but not both at the same time! Or maybe it's just that my cores are simply not workaroundable -- the hyperthreaded-thing or whatever. Anyway, big fan of the series, and DAI won't even load to the menu, any advice appreciated, short of buying a new computer! 😕mileyembarrassed:
I do have a PC that has a new copy of Vista, SP 2, installed, it was still running XP a couple of weeks ago. It's my general workhorse, and Internet activity desktop, not a game playing box. It still has Dx10 on it, not Dx11. Even at the time I added the two comments you quoted, it wasn't necessarily about a Dual Core CPU, and I hadn't made any note that would get me back to the member playing this game on Vista. Sorry.
