Dragon Age Inquisition Crashes, game breaking

★ Novice

My game wont even play at all now. I've previously played about 22 hours of the game and now whenever i click to play it instantly crashes telling me that dragon age inquisition has stopped working.

if i change the games setting to be compatible with windows 7 or another option that games does load but will become froxen on the main screen where it continuously keeps trying to connect to the dragon age servers.

 

ive tried reinstalling the game and direct x and it still is not working.

I found a solution in another thread.  The problem was Origin, as expected. It's not coincidence that it started happening right after the Origin update.  I disabled Origin, and the game started working as normal.  Here is the fix I found in the other thread:

 

 

As explained in the title, the game crashes with a Windows error: "Dragon Age: Inquisition has stopped working" that occurs immediatly after hitting play in Origin. This problem began immediatly after installing an origin update on 11/25/2014. Disabling origin allows inquisition to run confirming this is an Origin error.

 

For others with this problem, go to: 

My games > DA:I > Click on the letters "Dragon Age^TM: Inquisition >  Game Properties > Check "Disable Origin for this game" 

 

For me this allowed it to run. My system is a Windows 7 64 bit.

Are you on steam?

Common fix for the frozen thing, is to disable one core of the 4 you most likely have.

After that, it should be safe to enable the 4th core again.

 

You could try repair? If the game used to work... Than it still should.

Another possible easy fix on steam for game crashes and freezing is right click hit properties and under one of the tabs there is the option to verify integrity of game cache. That sometimes does the trick

I am having the same issue.  What I noticed was that there was a 77 MB Origin update when I opened the game and then BOOM, right after the update, the game will not load anymore.  I am told instantly that the game has stopped working as soon as I start it.

 

I don't like coincidences.  This is the text from the error:

Yeah, I keep suggesting disabling Origin entirely on lots of threads. It was bad before the patch, patch seemed to make it worse though. With 3rd party app, you don't even need to have Origin on during startup of the game Wink

I think its pretty stupid that we have to go threw all this **bleep** to play a game we paid 75 $. You wouldnt buy somthing broken at walmart then bring it home and try to fix it. EA and BioWare should be refunding a portion of money for this. Us as gamers let these big corps get away with whatever they want charging 75$ for somthing that doesnt even work properly. look at assassin creed unity. what a P.O.S game that was. played better beta game from indy devs with less bugs.
