DAI used to work absolutely fine on this exact same PC; I have 158 hours in the game and have completed a whole playthrough with minimal problems! I started replaying the whole series earlier this year, finished DA2, and was surprised to see that DAI simply would not open anymore. It is a Steam copy. Launching through Steam opens Origin; launching through Origin does nothing.
I have tried:
- Disabling antivirus
- Reinstalling Origin
- Repairing DA:I through both Origin and Steam
- Reinstalling DA:I (twice)
- Clean boot
- Clean reinstall of GPU drivers (they're fully updated, btw)
- Manually installing the software in the _Installer folder of the DAI local files
- Running in compatibility mode
- Running the .exe directly as an administrator
- Running Origin/Steam as an administrator
- Checked for NVidia 3D Vision -- don't have it
Edit: I also do not have AVG or Avast, which have also been noted as possible causes for this issue. I'm guessing maybe an issue with a driver update, since a problematic one could've come out between when I last successfully played and now? /edit
I've talked to customer support; some of the things above were recommended by them. None have helped. I would really appreciate it if anyone has a potential solution! Thanks!

I see mention of Activation64.dll in your DxDiag's crash logs for this game. @mcsupersport made a post about this back in 2020 over here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Inquisition/Dragon-Age-inquisition-Wont-launch-Nothing-works/td...
See if resetting the Origin cache fixes this: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

One generic troubleshooting step that I haven't seen mentioned yet is to delete your game settings manually (a reinstall or repair skips this). Go to Documents - BioWare - Dragon Age Inquisition - Save. Find a file called ProfileOptions_profile and delete it. Hopefully that allows the game to launch, at which point it will create a new ProfileOptions_profile file.

I appreciate the response! I tried clearing the Origin cache, deleting the DAI settings file, and then launching with another clean boot -- no dice, unfortunately.

I am having the same issue and have tried all of the same solutions. Tried EA support and they sent me to the forums. Glad to see I am not the only one having this problem.

I got exactly the same issue, Ive tried everything i could find in all of this posts and absolutely nothing gets me nearer to playing the game, I only grow more frustrated by the minute.
I have no Idea what else to try. and as I have no error message I dont know what the problem is to begin with.
Ive attached my DXdiag here but that doesnt say anything that helps me find any different approach.
Any ideas please?
Thanks!
