Dragon Age Inquisition won't start on PC

[Sinja89]

All right, After 1 month of trying out numerous of fixes, I found the solution.

At first , I couldn't start the damn game, same like most of you guys, showed up at the processes and after 5 mins or more DA:I window popped out , and disappeared.

So I disable "Secure Reboot" in the bios.

It allows me to launch the game, but the game always crashes around 10 mins.

So I set the game to
1.Full screen windowed mode.
2.Make Launch.exe and dragon age inquisition.exe as exception in antiviruses.

And go back to bios to enable "Secure Boot"

Bam! The game runs , and stop crashing for good.

Hope this helps.

Like everyone else on here, I was running into the same problem.  Trying to run DA:I would only give me a quick black screen and then CTD.  I could see the process run then die, but none of the solutions fixed it for me.

What finally worked for me was having Windows update my video drivers.  I have an Nvidia 960 and manually downloaded and installed the drivers first like I always do.  When DA:I wouldn't load, I tried reinstalling them the same way but still no luck.

Finally, I got into Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager and selected my video card.  I clicked 'Update Driver Software' and selected the option to have Windows automatically locate and install it for me.  For whatever reason, this finally solved the issue for me.

This is my dxdiag report. I hope an EA tech guy could look into it.

You have misunderstood what kind of website this is.  Answer HQ is a player community.  There are no "EA Tech" personnel here, just the players, who make self-help suggestions.  If that is satisfactory to you, I will scan your DxDiag report now, and then edit it with anything I see in it that looks like a problem.  Not being a trained Game Adviser type, I may not see anything in there at all, and may have to end by saying only that much.

The only thing at all that I can comment on is that you have the combination of Windows 10 and a Geforce GPU; recent experience on that combination seems to be that nVIDIA's software engineers have dropped the ball more often than not and released drivers that are incompatible with various of EA's games.  I don't know which driver numbers and dates are appropriate for Inquisition with your particular GPU, and can only suggest trying whatever drivers you can find from the last six months.

OMG, after hours of trying to figure this out and reading post after post. This finally fixed it for me! I had already tried reloading drivers through the geforce to no avail, but good old windows fixed it for whatever reason! I do have the same card though, so maybe that has something to do with it.

thank you for posting this!!!!

I'm having the same issue. The save file sync will happen when I click DAI - but after that, nothing.

 Dragon Age: Inquisition won't launch through Origin nor desktop and "run as administrator".

EDIT: I ran both Origin and Dragon Age as Administrator, then it worked :D
