Hello,
I am playing Dragon Age origins (the ultimate edition-no mods) and have downloaded the latest patch available (v 1.05). through Origin (version: 9.3.11.2762).
My system specs are:
Windows 8, version 6.2.9200
on an Acer Aspire V5-572
64 bit system
Intel Core i7-3537U CPU @ 2.00 Ghz, 25001 Mhz, two main processors
8 GB RAM (7.88 GB available)
Intel HD Graphics 4000, 64 MB video Memory
The problem:
The game is running fast and usually is not crashing, however, I have noticed that in large battle areas (for example: the undead attack on redcliff and after exiting the pearl and fighting the white falcon mercenaries), the commands given to your main character and your party members take some delay to be executed. To make my self clear: I use Morrigan to first do her charm spell on an enemy, and afterwards a freeze spell (in let's say... 2-4 secs), however, the actual spell casting occurs with a time delay (usually 5-6 secs), and sometimes it shows that the charm was used but it didn't and then it happens. This also true for drinking health potions... The characters drink the potion, but the health restoring effect happens after 4 to 6 seconds... Sometimes when the character is already dead... This tends to be very fustrating
I have tried to play it whilst sacrificing the high details: anti aliasing and all the other effects in the video options, but I have still the same problem.
Before coming here, I was reading this post: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/4940526/1
which is kind of the same thing... The solution for that specific post was to download and install the previous patches... However, the V1.05 patch is the only one available these days...
I also found this post where they seem to encounter the same problems, and yet failed to do something about it: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/178014-combat-lag-melee-spells/
Used to have a Lenovo computer (almost same specs perhaps) and played the game in there (I can't play in there anymore 'cause it was stolen) I never experienced any battle lag in there... And I think I did install the V1.04 patch
¿Have any other users experienced the same?
