For most games, DAO included, the CPU is not so relevant. For the purposes of running this game, the Phenom (II) and its derivatives can indeed be considered plenty powerful.

I am confused by those of you posting that you have a ‘powerful’ system, yet you list the amd phenom aas your cpu. If you are running an amd cpu, you do NOT have a ‘powerful’ system and stop claiming that you do. Simple as that, fact, nothing more needed to be said here…moving on…

Hell no. We shouldn’t have to exit then start the game again multitudes of time due to a screw up from the dev. they need to fix this. it’s been a problem since release and it should be fixed especially with an expansion pack coming

To cut off the long loading time in dragon age just save and shutdown the game then restart the loading time will like 5-10 sec and when it became to get longer just do the same thing

Gee, and I thought I was the only one suffering this problem. I just recently purchased the game 5 weeks and got about close to where you get to do the Lands Meet Quest and all the problems started happening. Frequent game crashes using and longer loader times the futher you get in the game. I was using Windows XP SP3, I couldn’t stop the crashing ever since than, even when I reinstalled Windows XP and the game. So I installed Windows Vista and started using that and my game crashes when away when I loaded the save game…How Odd.. But the loading times didn’t get any faster, rather slower. About 4-6 mins screen loading. I hope Bioware comes out with a patch or something if they want to keep their fan base. But since Bioware is owned by EA it figures, anything EA touches and everything goes down hill from there..

Ugh. We know. But it takes just as long to save, exit, boot, and reload.

My solution is. save your game exit the game all the way restart it everything is good.

I have a pretty good PC and I’ve read that it has something to do with accepting quests and not doing them. There are so many ideas of what could be wrong and I’ve tried everything so far that I’ve read here to no avail. These loading times make me wanna take a nap every time. Great game, terrible tech issues. Makes me feel like a hamster is powering my computer. /sigh….guess I’ll go play World of Warcraft.

Hello i also buy Dragon Age: Origins,and i also have a very lond time of loading.

If i start the game for the 10-20 minutes playing i have a fast load time,but if i play 1-3 hours of gameplay i experienced a very load time,and the game also runs very slow.

I have a intel i5 4gb ddr3 gtx260 super overclocked.We neea a patch to resolve this situation quick.I think the game is not optimized well.

The load times become painfully long in short order, even on an insanely high-end Alienware. I find myself playing in windowed mode and hitting F5 to quick-save before leaving any area, so that I can just kill the process by closing the window. It’s sad, but restarting the game and resuming from last save is much faster than waiting.
