Actually I do not have a question, but I wanted to put this out there for those with launching issues due to weak computers.
I ran Dragon Age Inquisition successfully on my Surface Pro 3 i5 265GB for more than 100hours (even if I had to "repair" the game sometimes to start it).
Yesterday I played with the display resolution and set it too high. The game crashed and since then did not start for me any more.
It ran in a window in the background, and when I clicked the window it crashed. You can use Origins command line arguments, but I do not know how.
Instead, you can use the following file to preset the resolution, start the game and then adapt it in the game menu.
To launch the game in Windowed mode:
- Edit the ProfileOptions_profile file in the following location:
My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save or C:\Users\[your username]\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save
(Please note that you need to edit this file in WordPad or Notepad++, not Notepad) - Set the following variables: GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 0, GstRender.FullscreenMode 1, GstRender.FullscreenScreen 0
- You can set the resolution, refresh rate and gamma as well, but be careful to specify correct values.
This is not a crash-fix, but a simply workaround in case the resolution is too much for your weak computer's heart ;-)
