Never played DA:O on a PS3/360, but the game has a memory leak issue on the PC version, which causes extremely long loading times and massive lag spikes after a couple of hours playtime, which forces you to quit the game and restarting it to get it back to playable levels.

There might be a similar issue with the console versions, try looking into the Bioware forums.


That explains a lot, lol.

Sadly, it's much worse now (after patch 1.03), than it was at release. Not only they released Awakening as a big buggy mess (Silverite Mine still haunts me), patch 1.04 made DA:O much more unstable than it was before, especially during the Battle of Denerim scenario.

This thread almost makes me want to pop my game back in and check it out. It has been a while since I've played it.

To the OP: Do you know of a scene where you really noticed the drop in framerate? Or maybe what you are doing in the game where you see it very choppy/slow?

I remember very clearly that my PS3 version kept the number of enemies around your party at a very low number. 5-6 at most I think; the PC on the other hand had you up agaisn't everything all at once. The PS3 version gave you waves of enemies and the third person, behind-the-shoulder, camera angle was not something I enjoyed. This is why I prefered the tactical and more challenging PC version.

I noticed it is worse whenever it goes from a speaking dialogue to a battle.  Those first 5 or 10 seconds I get nearly no response.  There's other random times, but I notice that is when it is at it worse.  It's also pretty bad after the loading screen (which is also one of the longest I have seen, only the Crash Bandicoot for the PS2 was longer).

I experienced little lag on Dragon age on the ps3. Perhaps you should delete the game data.
