Me and my friend both downloaded to play through this game again. But playing it for me on pc i seem to have a 1 or 2 min loading time to get to the title screen, and then about 3-5 min loading time to go from map to map. My friend doesn't have this issue. i was reading a bunch of stuff about turning off the in game thing on origins. is there something similar to do on EA desktop? I've turned off the in game overlay (even tho it doesn't seem to actually turn it off) . The game is on a 1tb nvme drive
Solved! Go to Solution.

In this case, you want Origin in-game to be on.
In case someone else is struggling with load times and found this thread: I've done a bit of experimenting with load times, and these are my findings.

right so it seems i found a "fix" for it, i was opening the xbox app to open ea desktop. I now open EA desktop as a admin from the shortcut and it seems to have fixed it

I've had the same issue with loading times and have found a solution that is different to the above, thanks to a Reddit post of all places.
1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel
2. Go into Manage 3D settings
3. Go from Global Settings to Program Settings and select Dragon Age Inquisition (if you can't find DAI stay in Global)
4. Turn Shader Cache to Off
Soon as I did that I could run Dragon Age at max setting with much shorter load times.
Hopes this helps others

Would that mean that load times are longer because Nvidia is generating a shader cache? Unless something isn't functioning right, that might mean load times would normalize after a while and performance in-game might improve.
