Playing Dragon Age: Origins on a MacBook using Parallels...lost cause?

The Game Room
1

So I’m playing DA: O on a MacBook Pro using Parallels and Windows 7. I haven’t gotten very far, but it seemed to be working okay (some video and audio stuttering, and a bit of lagging on large battles). I’d hardly call it stellar performance, but it’s been usable.

Yesterday I noticed that the video had become extremely laggy, and then the game just crashed (froze up). Since this is still pretty early in the game, I’m starting to wonder if the problems are just going to get worse the further I go in this game.

Any thoughts?

The game had a severe memory leak, i had the same problem on the pc if i played too long. Try restarting often.

Maybe it will help maybe not, but make sure you’ve got the latest patches going,

I hate parallels, you should just do a BootCamp install of Win7 on a separate drive and play DAO natively
