Overview

The fix is simply changing the texture details for the game to medium, make sure to select "save settings" after changing the texture detail located in the "Dragon Age: Origins" menu thing at the top of the configure window

NOTE: Visual C++ runtime errors can still occur just much less frequently, if you start experiencing severe slowdown ingame and frames dropping save your game, exit and start the game back up again,
Also if the game keeps crashing jump over to this guide here: How to Fix Dragon Age: Origins (Ultimate Fix Guide) and follow the section about frequent random crashes, it might also help to make Dragon age LAA explained in this guide: Making DA: Origins LAA (Steam)

All credit belongs to the user whom I found out the fix from in https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/47810/discussions/0/360671352685076752

truly goated fix thanks was looking everywhere for a fix, For anyone looking for a fix when trying to enable console from nexusmods downloads the problem I had was I could load a new game make a character add the cheats and it would be okay but I would try to reload it then game would crash all the time, switching the textures to medium fixed that issue for me as your guide helped thank you so much hope this can help others. 2025
