I played it just recently. I installed it from discs, not Origin. I did have a memory issue and some crashes when I started playing. I used a LAA utility (large address aware) to make the exe "see" all of the system memory and there were no problems after that.

Large address aware, which is the hack to let the game exe use more ram. LadyofNemesis had a link to it. Also called 4gb patch.

Just have to make sure Origin will not try to replace the patched exe with the original by turning off auto-update for DAO.

edit: didn't see mousestalker's post, heh

Well I installed that and it solved everything. Very nice.

Does any one know if the Steam version needs that LAA patch? I could start up a game and load old saves fine, but I haven't played on my new PC for any length of time.

I don't have it through Steam, so I can't say with certainty, but I'm going to assume it does. There's no reason for them to have a different exe for the Steam version; it's the same game.

That didn't work. If I apply the patch to the exe, the game fails to start with Steam Error Code 51 as soon as I select "play" from the launcher. Doesn't help if I also patch the launcher. I guess I'll have to try and hope for the best. So far there has been one crash in the middle of a fight, but we'll see.

DAO Ultimate Edition is $19.99 on GOG. That's how I play it and it has not given me any trouble so far (other than my unholy love of cosmetic mods disrupting the graphics).

I played on with my Steam UE and there have been no more problems after that one non-repeatable crash.

I'm happy to report that Origins runs perfectly on my comp. It's quite fast in fact, almost too fast.

Yep it works great on Windows 10 and that's saying something, since I don't like Win 10. Also don't forget to download the 4gb patch and the Silverite mine fix for awakening.

These are on Nexus? I still remember the devs claiming the silverite mine bug was 'user error' lol
