v0.5.6
558d020

The Dragon Age: Origins (Xbox 360) recompilation: frame rates above 60, vsync you can switch off, and Title Update 7.

You need your own copy of the game as an Xbox 360 disc image (title 454108C0). This download contains no game code or data; the installer builds the game from your ISO on your PC.

Install or update (Windows)

  • Updating from v0.3.x or later: the launcher offers this update itself (Update on its main menu). You can also run the new DAORecomp.exe and pick the same install folder.
  • New install, or updating from v0.2.0 or older: download DAORecomp.exe below and run it. It isn't code-signed, so Windows may warn: More info → Run anyway. Pick the ISO and an install folder, accept the build tools license, and press Install. When it's done, the same exe becomes the game's launcher. An update only rebuilds what changed, and your saves, settings and mods are kept.
  • DAORecomp-Installer.exe is the same file under its old name, for launchers before v0.5.2.

New

  • Title Update 7: the game's last title update now works as well as 6 (Awakening and the later DLC campaigns need one of them). Drop its package on the launcher, or give it to the installer; 7 replaces 6. Its code is 6's but for a version number, so no rebuild is needed.
  • Frame rate presets: 30 (the original), 60, 90, 120, 144, 165, 240 or unlimited, in the Graphics tab, replacing the 60 fps switch. F10 switches to 30 and back.
  • VSync now controls the display's sync and can be changed in game; with it off, the game presents as soon as a frame is ready (with tearing where the display allows it).

Fixed

  • Audio, file loading and the GPU's primitive cache: fixes from a review of the emulation layer, including bounds checks on file reads.
  • With vsync off, the game's 60 Hz vertical blank no longer runs at 1 kHz.
  • Windows 11 kept the game's 1 ms timer only while its window was visible; a hidden window now keeps it too.

Known issues

  • The DLC campaigns have only been checked to start; please report anything that goes wrong in them.
  • Linux (Wine/Proton) is still untested; HDR there depends on the compositor.
