How to fix Dragon Age Origins from crashing in 2023/2024

THANK YOU!!! you are important ❤

For me the 4gb patch didt work,when i click it it just opens up the same map with the 4gb patch in it. It does not show what i see at 1.33 min :(

Thank you so much i'm french and my english is really bad, but your video saved my Holyday now i can plays this game lets goooooo

I cant launch it :<

thank you for the suggestion, i'll try it. although i think the point is not to play dragon age origins with absolute garbage graphics in 2024.. if i'd get the graphics mods working i'd be a happy man

Thanks so much for this! I copped the series on Steam for this last summer sale and was furious that my $4k rig somehow couldn't run this game without crashing lol

Still working in July of 2024! Thank you so very much for this video!!

Thanks a bunch for Fixing our Problem <3

Does this work for GOG Galaxy as well?

My folders look nothing like yours, I can’t figure out how you extracted your zipped folders, mine isn’t saying zipped after I downloaded it and it isn’t showing 4 different folders like yours

Wow, it actually worked thanks a lot

THANK YOU!! After watching 3 different videoes on how to install the 4gb patches i have to say, yours made the most sense! I could not for the life of me get the patch files to overwrite the original game file correctly by the other methods. Yours was simpel and easy to follow for a newbie, so thanks again!
The only alternative method that i did was to download the unencrypted daoorigins.exe through Nexus and not via the steam LAA dropbox. Don't know if it made a significant difference tho

Game is fixed thank you! Adventure awaits, HUZZZZAAAHH!!!!

Even tho i have a cracked version of the game, this worked for me, thank you so so much❤ God Bless you

TYYYYYY YOU ARE THE BEST

So i have to play a 15 year old game with texture detail turned all the way down on a RTX 4090 or else it will crash?
I don't think i want to buy it if this is the case. I used to play a pirated copy of this game on a GTX 970 with no issues.

It's incredible to do all that, just to play an old video game !

Holy hell, you are a goddamn legend!!! Liked and subscribed, ive been struggling with this for a flipping week THANK YOU

So my fucking problem is that i have it on the EA app and its too zoomed in for me to change the settings and press play!!!! no one on earth has this fucking issue but me AWESOME!!!!!

Im trying to play the game myself now and tried this, and im just stuck in. It's an infinite loading screen after trying to atart a new game music still on and all, but i have to restart my oc to get it out of the loading screen

It worked!! Thank you so much. Playing this game is far more enjoyable on PC than the consoles and now I can just enjoy the game without crashing.

God Jesus I’ve put off fixing and replaying this game for almost a year now because of how confused it all made me with the tech speak some people used (I’m new to computers and actually delving into files and documents) and this made my life so dang easy being able to watch you go through all the steps in a consice and clear manner THANKYOUUU

great video. tried the cpu stuff. but i want to remote play to another computer and then for some reason it probably does not have the cpu power to produce a picture :P bugs and problems! hate it.

Thank you so much. Back here over a year after the video and it still worked like a charm 👍

Good work , cant change the language to German but still very naice work

thank you, i almost gave up on playing origins. this still works, you're the best!

love it when a tutorial from a year ago solves the issue, thanks!

Insanity that a guide like this is even needed. Thank you for fixing the game when EA refuses to. Never had these problems on Origin.

You're a fucking lifesaver

Thank you so much for this!

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH

I was having the "game already running" problem, and this patch fixed it!
Thanks for the short video!
Having to do all this shady stuff, just to play a game I already paid for is so ridiculous! No wonder people turn to piracy...

Who start Dragon Edge from beginning knowing nothing about game in 2024?

Thank you, the Steam guide helped, but I experimented a little (new info on the end):
- W10, i9-9900K, GoG version, modded
- I used 4 cores instead of 1, it helped a lot with framerate.
- I use max texture detail setting, doesn't seem to have any issues (after 2 hours I didn't see any texture problems, like before and no crashes)

So now the game looks fine (for its age), runs fast and not crashing.

Edit: After further experimentation, I saw no reason to modify the texture quality nor the processor core affinity. The game runs stable with max texture quality and with 16 (max) cores. The main thing was it seems the usage of that modified game exe file.

So I done all of steps correctly but every time I launch the game and resume it I get stuck at the loading screen for a long period of time and I have to wait until it crashes

Thanks this helped!!! ❤

Thank you sooooo much <3

You're a life saver! Ty so much for you video, I was about to uninstall the game
For me, just downloading the patch and replacing the file was enough to get it working at max settings without crashing.
Before patching even running on the lowest I couldn't get past the 1st cutscene XD

Tyty ^^

annnnnd after doing all that, game still crashes. Very frustrating

This modded game I am playing seems to cause a crash every time I enter the basement In magic tower...

No need to set task manager and texture quality on low, works for me without it

thank you using the gog version but this still helped.

I love the shadowlands wallpaper actually made me nostalgic War within is not for me.

you're a lifesaver. Thanks!

Seems to be working for most people, unfortunately it doesnt for me...

yeah..im not downloading anything to get a 15 year old game to work. Steam needs to remove the game from steam

Life saver thank you

I love your voice 😊

Great and Clear expanations though i might add if you installed the game from EA, not origin or steam then to find your dragon age files its in Program files(NOT Program Filesx86) and its inside EA games
