kbozz71 · Feb 22, 2011

Tried 3 times to download. Got to 91% the first time before it crapped out. Haven't been able to get past 30% the last 2 times. Will wait til later this week and try again.

Downloaded, installed, configured gfx and then went to play....

damn dx something or other dll is missing, 'try re-installing'

Screw that, i'll wait for my steam purchase to become available. :wtf:

copenhagen69 · Feb 22, 2011

I waited all this time for this?
The demo is awful. Black artifacts all over the ground and I get 5-10 FPS IF I am lucky ... thats with a 580 and I7 @ 4.3 ...

Dragon Age 2 review by PC Gamer magazine.

"The best RPG combat ever. Not Gaming's best story, but maybe it's best storytelling. darker, sexier, better. 94/100"

PC Gamer scored it higher than Mass Effect 2 and gave it Editor's Choice. it will take 50 hours to complete Dragon Age 2, so good news for people who thought it would be cut down to a 20 hour game.

here is a link to the scans.

Why am I not surprised? It is Bioware, after all.

I had horrible FPS and artifacts with DX11 as well. Rebooted the game, FPS went up and the artifacts were much less.. I get some wierd pixelated shadows of the characters in the upper right of the screen. Besides that it looks great and played great.
