Dragon Age Inquisition won't start on PC

[Lemonny_Guy]

I have a very similar problem too. Here's my system spec thingy

@Lemonny_Guy Your system doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to run the game. It's always a good idea to check your system can handle a game before buying it Sorry I don't have anything more helpful for you.

That can't be true because when I first got the game I was able to run it perfectly, even with all the graphic settings on high/ultra. The problem just started when I tried running the .exe (The game) file, the blue circle loading thing would appear on the cursor but nothing would happen. No error or crash message, just nothing

Sorry but you don't meet specs for Dragon Age Inquistion.  If you are talking about Dragon Age Origins, then sure you should be fine, but DAI is a very hardware intensive machine.  Your DxDiag only shows a HD MOBILITY HD 3670 video card, when min specs for DAI is a full HD4870.  See comparison...Radeon-HD-4870-vs-Mobility-Radeon-HD-3670

Min specs for game....http://www.ign.com/wikis/dragon-age-inquisition/PC_System_Requirements

Your driver for your graphics is from January 2015....almost 3 years old.

Your main CPU lists as   Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz

Min specs...   Intel quad core CPU @ 2.0 GHz

So your CPU is short 2 cores needed to run the game, your video card is below specs and the driver is out of date...sorry, this rig NEVER ran DAI on ultra.  Maybe you are remembering a different game/computer or posted to the wrong forum??

I see, so even if I put it on 4 cores like this. It still shouldn't be able to work?

@Lemonny_Guy

First you posted a DxDiag for a laptop, with an Intel Core duo 2.0 gHz, and a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670.

Second you post a picture from a much better machine, with i7-7700HQ 2.8gHz and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050.

If you are trying to play the game on the rig that generated the second picture of the gaming center, then you should have no issue hardware wise running the game.  If you are trying to play the game on the rig that generated the DxDiag you first posted, then you will not be able to play.

So it will depend on which computer you are trying to play the game on.  As far as putting it on 4 cores....not sure what you mean.  You can't add cores to a computer without changing CPU chips and sometimes motherboards, but I don't think that is what you meant.

Thank , i understand now. I very much appreciate your help and advice

[Lemonny_Guy]

Oh now i see what might of caused the confusion, the previous dxdiag.txt isn't for my laptop. I might of sent the wrong one😅..My bad. This is for my laptop

[Leora85]

@Lemonny_Guy Yes, you most certainly posted the wrong dxdiag earlier, that's.... quite a difference. :P

First thing would be to make sure the game is using the dedicated GPU, not the integrated Intel one. 

Second thing would be to check your AV program/firewall/etc have exceptions added for the game, Origin and the game files in My Documents. If those programs have been updated it's possible any previous exceptions may need to be redone. Especially if you're using Avast or AVG.

If that doesn't help, perhaps a more detailed description of your issue would help figure out what's going on.

thanks. this worked for me. but WTF is this program doing that it needs to have me disable part of my virus protection just to run the damn thing? *sigh*
