Arlathan Forest specific spot crash
This problem first occurred probably a couple of weeks after updating my AMD GPU driver to 25.5.1 last month during my fourth playthrough some time after the start of Act 2. Soon after I left the Veil Jumper base, I noticed some frame rate drops and as I traveled along the path to the docks, the game suddenly crashed. This has happened multiple times and sometimes I got lucky enough to reach the area near the docks (picture provided) before the game crashed again. I had tried everything but none of the methods below worked. Repair the game by verifying game files integrity on Steam Downgrade the AMD GPU driver to a previous version (25.4.1) Reset shader cache on AMD Adrenalin Set graphics to "Low" Disable triple buffering Switch off all mods Here are my PC specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Radeon RX 7800 XT 32GB RAM Confusingly, the game didn't crash (but still suffering some frame rate drops) whenever I fast-travelled to areas away from the docks and the Veil Jumper base. I like this game and I don't want my current fourth and future playthroughs ruined just because the game crashes every time I walk out of the Veil Jumper base and head to the docks.razer666L37 minutes agoSeasoned Newcomer50Views0likes6Comments''The Dodgy Recruit'' Armor Appearance Consistently Missing from the Wardrobe.
Greetings. During the quest "Blood of Arlathan", Rook and the team wear disguises. Rook's disguise changes based on their class. At the end of the quest, the relevant disguise is supposed to be awarded to the player as an appearance to be applied in the wardrobe. The rogue variant of the disguise, called "The Dodgy Recruit", appears to be bugged and can't be applied. When completing "Blood of Arlathan", the game's UI displays the armor as a reward for completing the quest, however it is impossible to apply the armor appearance, as its icon is not present in the Wardrobe UI. This bug has existed for some time - possibly since the launch of the game - and is present for every new rogue character created. I have seen others post regarding this issue in this forum and others. I hope that the bug can be fixed. Thanks.67Views0likes0CommentsWeapon appearances for bows not showing up in the wardrobe
Hi BioWare team, I’ve noticed an issue with the weapon appearance system in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and I wanted to provide some feedback as it’s affecting the overall experience with customization. I recently purchased some bow appearances from merchants, but I couldn’t find them in the wardrobe afterward. After some trial and error, I discovered that the wardrobe system filters appearances based on the currently equipped weapon subtype — for example, if I have a shortbow equipped, I can’t see or apply longbow appearances, and vice versa. While this might be functioning as intended, the system feels very unintuitive for a few reasons: - There’s no clear warning or tooltip letting players know that appearances are locked by weapon subtype. - The wardrobe UI doesn’t show that it’s filtering by weapon type, leading many to believe their skins are missing or bugged. - Players can purchase skins they can’t actually use right away, which is confusing and frustrating. This is especially frustrating because it gives the impression that the appearance system is bugged, when it’s actually just not well-communicated. Suggestions: Add a tooltip or UI label in the wardrobe clearly stating that appearances are filtered by weapon subtype. Consider allowing players to preview and apply all appearances for a weapon class (e.g., bows) regardless of subtype. Alternatively, add a toggle or filter in the wardrobe so players can view skins for all weapon types, not just their currently equipped one. Thanks for all your hard work on the game — the level of detail and customization is amazing overall, and this small fix would go a long way toward improving the player experience.

The game's stability has severly declined since I got it through Epic a few days ago. The first day I had 2 crashes; figured it was a problem with my PC since it was overdue for some TLC. The day after, it crashed 4 times... Third day I had to fight to even get it to work at all and I started to run in to the issue of not being able to load autosaves, which becomes an especially large problem when the game frequently crashes out of nowhere. Any time I try to load an auto save I get the very informative message: "Load error. An error occurred while trying to complete your request." where it tells me absolutely nothing about what is wrong and how to fix it. Luckily I temporarily solved it by loading a chapter save, then loading my latest auto save afterwards but as of today this no longer works. I am only able to load temporary chapter saves and manual saves, which might not be that large of an issue if it was me who decided when to quit the game, but as it stands I have almost no say in the matter. Thankful for any advice at this point. I realize some specifics about my computer may be required to troubleshoot; I'm not the most tech savvy so I'm not sure what's important to write down right off the bat but if anyone can help I'll gladly look in to it and reply ASAP!emotionalrat8 days agoSeasoned Novice73Views0likes3Commentsmy usual spot dragon age veilguard crash

I would like to share my experience with you guys. I am a big fan of the Dragon Age saga and I was so excited to play this game. Few months ago I bought a new pc with a 4070 super, way better than the GPU needed for the minimum requirements. Played several games smoothly before downloading and starting Dragon Age The Veilguard. After few hours of gameplay the pc started behaving crazy, with random crashes during the gameplay that completely shut down and automatically restart my pc, without any blu screen or anything at all (power kernel error, in the Event Viewer). Firstly I thought it was a pc hw/sw thing and tried hundred of attempts and workarounds but the problem persisted and the game was shutting down my pc as I said. The same started to happen with the other games I had on my pc, so I was pretty sure it was a GPU/PSU failure and I requested a return+refund of the pre-assembled PC. After that I bought another PC with an rtx 5070 this time (just arrived last week) and, after couple of days where I played regularly the game, the problem happened again this morning, with a completely different pc, brand new! BTW I have changed all external devices (mouse, keyboard, controller) to be sure those were not the cause of the issue. It was an immediate UNINSTALL THE GAME for me. Can't risk to burn another PC just to play this game. I am really sad and disappointed since I am a big fan and I am not allowed to play the game, I even have a EA PlayPro subscription because of it. Hope my experience will avoid to others the same amount of distress I had in these few weeks due to EA bad optimization or whatever we can call something like this.

I noticed a few people having trouble getting Emmrich’s personal quests to trigger. I have a work-around but it would be a lot better if we got an update to fix it. Emmrich’s personal quests aren’t triggering on their own. In each part, in order for his personal quest to appear, you have to complete one of the two main story quests. Problem is, you have to pick the CORRECT main story quest, otherwise it won’t work. For instance, to trigger the Walking the Graves Quest, you have to complete the Something Wrong quest, and when I noticed House of the Dead wasn’t appearing, I tried completing The Cobbled Swan Case. House of the Dead didn’t trigger. I had to reload to a previous save before completing Cobbled Swan Case and do The Cauldron. Once the Cauldron quest was completed, I finally triggered House of the Dead. That’s as far as I’ve gotten in the game up to this point, so unfortunately I don’t have any answers if this bug will persist for the whole game, or if it does, which main story quests will trigger Emmrich’s scenes. Again, I hope this gets fixed soon because it makes romancing him very difficult 😭😭😭2311d3c6c92b8ae912 days agoRising Newcomer1.4KViews1like2CommentsThe Labs Below Softlock

I went to check controller mapping and R1 doesn’t work in the menu systems and it won’t even allow me to assign it to another command. I’m stuck in the game because I cannot open the menu to do tinkering. I have closed the game and reopened it and my PS5 and the DualSense Edge controller are up to date on firmware.19Views0likes0CommentsElevator in cornered in the catacombs quest bugged

Whenever I launch the game, I get this DirectX error message saying that my video card has been removed. It's been like this since the game came out. I've tried everythings I could find on the internet to fix it, to the point I had to reinstall Windows because my other games were no longer working either anymore. But even that did not solve the issue. Out of frustration, I refunded the game after 2 weeks. Now, 2 months and 4 patches later, the game is on sale on Steam so I thought I give it a try again. I updated my graphics driver and launched it but unfortunately, I still get the same error message (See the screenshot in the attachment). It's really frustrating that patches are coming out that fix minor audio issues or add useless functions like a photo mode, but nothing is being done about this. Another tread on this forum addressed this issue but it was marked as 'solved', even though the issue is not solved at all for many people. Link: DirectX Error | EA Forums - 5003098 So I thought I open a new thread for those who still have this issue, as I suspect the EA mods are no longer looking at posts that are marked as 'solved'. Hopefully by posting it again, I keep this issue alive so that it will actually be addressed.Carot4417 days agoRising Rookie366Views2likes8CommentsWant a Refund
I've tried everything to make this game work. I dont have the money to buy a SSD and it wasn't in the essential requirements of the game. I'll play a bit and it'll crash and I have to do something funny to the save to get it back. I'm sick of doing work arounds to find it crashes again. I bought it on release and no signs of it ever being fixed. Absolute joke. Anyone else as mad as me? Anyone got their money back on this broken game?Selphie_66618 days agoRising Novice115Views0likes3CommentsBroken achievement as shadows fall ps5

I recently started playing Dragon Age The Veilguard again and have been having trouble with getting a message that my controller disconnected whenever I put my steam deck in sleep mode. If I’m in the game after turning the steam deck back on it brings up a message saying “Controller Disconnected Your controller was disconnected. Reconnect and press A to continue”. When I try to press A nothing happens and I have to restart the game. If I enter sleep mode on the main menu no message comes up but no buttons work. When I last played the game in January this didn’t happen. I don’t know if this is a steam deck issue or a Dragon Age issue. What I’ve tried to fix it: Making sure my steam deck and Dragon Age are up to date. Disabling steam inputs under properties, controller. Changing my OS update channel to preview. Plugging in a switch controller and trying to press A on it. Plugging in a switch controller and unplugging it after getting the message then trying the steam deck controls. Doing the same as the switch controller but with a keyboard.Anaka51626 days agoNewcomer119Views0likes0CommentsWrong Inquisitior entirely
Playing on PS5. I imported my Inquisitor Lavellan from my first playthrough then imported a Rook from the character creator, and triple checked thay my Inquisitor stayed the same before I started playing the game. I finally got to the scene where you meet the Inquisitor for the first time, and a female Cadash walked out instead. Morrigan still used he/him pronouns and Lace still introduced him as Inquisitor Lavellan, and he still talks with the same voice, he just is a female Cadash. I've never made a dwarf Inquisitor so I don't know if she's a cadash default or not. I tried reloading a save before the cutscene, and closing and restarting the game, and the same female Cadash comes out. I'm so confused how this happened.jazzypurrg26 days agoSeasoned Newcomer54Views0likes0CommentsNecropolis Defender Upgrade Bug
