Veilguard stuttering
Hi all, I finally got around to purchasing Dragon Age: The Veilguard a week ago. It ran great at first, but then it started stuttering. I have to turn V sync on to stop the screen tearing, but that's not what's causing the stuttering. I have tried pretty much everything to stop it. I keep thinking I've done it, only to have the stuttering return. A few days ago, my CPU cooling system crapped out, and I had to get a new one, and the stuttering is now worse than it was before (the occurrences themselves aren't worse but they're happening more frequently now). Things I have tried: *Deleting shader cache *Increasing available space for shader cache *Adjusting every display / graphic option in the game (one by one) *Capping the frame rate to 60 fps *Disabling fullscreen optimizations *Running the Nexus Mods registry edit *Giving the game high priority *Switching to a high performance power plan *Uninstalling and reinstalling the game *Scanning for and fixing corrupt system files *Verifying game files via Steam *Updating my BIOS *Updating (and rolling back) my Nvidia graphics drivers I have used MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner to determine that the CPU usage spikes just before a stutter and then everything drops. CPU and GPU temps stay stable or drop, so nothing is overheating. I've used LatencyMon to determine that some DirectX and Nvidia drivers are having the biggest DPC latency during the game, but not to the point of being red or yellow. The only thing I haven't tried yet is messing with the voltage or over/under-clocking my CPU. I don't want to go near that with a ten-foot pole! I've attached my Dx Diag file. Anyone got any other suggestions? (FYI: There are undoubtedly other things I've tried that I've forgotten to include in the above list.) I am loving this game otherwise and really want to play all the way through. So far I am persevering despite the stuttering, but it is taxing my patience.
My game keeps crashing
I attached the error message screenshot and a screenshot of my dxdiag results if that helps. IT's happened atleast 10 times in 30 hours and it's testament to how much i adore this game that it hasn't really blemished my thoughts on the game so far, but it is annoying, so any help would be very welcome. Thank you
Veilguard keeps crashing
Hey, same problem here — specs attached. Downloaded the game this week through Game Pass. I’m a big DA fan, but Dragon Veilgard keeps giving me the same issue: I start playing and at completely random moments (usually during cutscenes) the screen freezes, audio keeps going, and then the whole PC just reboots. I’ve already tried lowering settings, disabling hair options, switching between windowed/fullscreen, deleting cache and config files, running in compatibility mode, everything updated (NVIDIA drivers included), disabled scaling on the .exe… and it still crashes.
Inquisitor bug
I customized my inquisitor in the character creator, but when I met her in game she was the default inquisitor in the character creator? I was really sad to see this. I’ve had this issue with my rook a few times and reloading to an earlier save usually fixes the issue but how can I fix this for my inquisitor? This issue with rook has been a recurring problem and I don’t want to keep remaking my inquisitor to fix it. I’m so far into the game and I don’t wanna start over but my inquisitors appearance was really important to me :/
Arthaland Forest Mire Waterfront Glade Missing Bridge Bug
I have completed solved this puzzle and my Rook says, "Look at that!" you can see the bridge form up then completely disappear. I have tried several times and get the same result. You can see the Island guardian ready to fight and my companions can even get to the island and fight but since I cannot switch to my companion like past games I cannot loot items or fight on the island. Please advise how to resolve. What is your EA ID or Console ID (PSN ID/Gamertag)? Cynarra What platform are you playing on? EA Origins app on PC What is happening? (and what do you expect to happen instead?) The bridge should stay up once puzzle is solved so Rook can access the small island, fight the guardian and loot the chest. Does this happen in a specific area of the game? Arthaland Forest Mire Waterfront Glade Please share any steps you've tried so far to resolve the issue: Reloading previous save, completing other quests then going back and attempting again. If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip... Screenshot of solved puzzing with missing bridge attached. If on PC, please share a DxDiag file and an EA app Error ID Number d85354a0-06f7-40db-80d8-afd465e5b7fa
the option to bind a key for "Cancel Hip-Fire" is missing
Please pay attention to the following and repair the key-binding bug regarding "cancel hip-fire". In the custom keybinding settings for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the option to bind a key for "Cancel Hip-Fire" is missing, so any remapping involving Shift can’t be saved, severely disrupting players' established habits. Specifically, the Shift key is bound to "Sprint" by default, but many players prefer to reassign it to functions like "Block," "Dodge," or something else. When players attempt to change the Shift key's binding, the game indicates that the key map for "Cancel Hip-Fire" is missing (as this function was originally tied to Shift). However, the customization menu fails to provide an option to set a new key for "Cancel Hip-Fire." Consequently, players are unable to save their new binding for Shift. The game then prompts that a key is unset (for "Cancel Hip-Fire"), forcing the player to revert to the default settings. This is a particularly severe issue at least in the Simplified Chinese version of the game. Many of the default keybindings are not intuitive for most players, and this rather basic bug has a significant negative impact on the overall gameplay experience. It's been a long time since the game's release, and it's puzzling why such an obvious bug has not been fixed. This is almost certainly a contributing factor to the game's consistently poor reviews on Steam. Separately, regarding the gameplay, I'd like to add one more point. In addition to the traditional health bar, enemies also have a blue bar (which must be depleted with a shield attack) and a yellow bar (which requires a heavy attack to deplete). This design effectively forces players to use specific attack types against certain enemies, thus limiting their freedom in combat. This kind of design feels very outdated, and it is truly disappointing. [Original Chinese version] 龙腾世纪影障守护者的自定义键盘绑定漏写了取消腰射，导致与shift有关的改键无法完成，严重影响玩家游戏习惯。 具体来说，自定义键盘绑定里，shift默认是冲刺功能，但很多玩家想改成防御、闪避或其它功能。当修改后，游戏会提示“取消腰射”的按键映射没有了（因为原本取消腰射是对应于shift）。但是自定义键盘绑定却漏写了取消腰射，导致玩家无法重新设置取消腰射的按键绑定，最终结果就是玩家对于shift的修改无法被保存，游戏会提示有按键没有设置（取消腰射），无奈只能恢复默认。 至少在简体中文版的游戏中会出现这个严重问题，因为默认按键的设计有不少都不符合多数玩家的**bleep**作习惯，但是因为这个低级失误，严重影响游戏体验。 这款游戏自上市以来过了很久，不知道为什么这个明显的问题一直没有被修复，在steam上的评价也一直不好，这个肯定是原因之一。 另外，关于玩法，我再提一句，敌人除了传统的血条以外，还有蓝条（需要用盾击消除），有黄条（需要用重击消除），这相当于逼迫玩家用指定攻击手段来对付敌人，限制了玩家的打法。这种设计是很落伍的，真的很失望。
Repeated Crashes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
I recently started Dragon Age: The Veilguard on quite a new (!!) PC and it ran perfectly fine on ultra settings until yesterday. Out of nowhere, the game crashed when I had just begun what I think is Part 3: Awakening. Not completely certain, but I had just reached the point where I needed to retrieve a dagger (I will not go into more detail to avoid spoilers). I can launch the game and load my latest save, but as soon as I walk a few steps, it crashes again. I tried removing shader 2459419382 and letting Steam reinstall it by verifying the integrity of the game files, as I had seen some other comment about this. But the problem persists. It is frustrating that the game is crashing on a new PC (but crashing in general, of course) and even more so that it happens so early in the game. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Lighthouse Main chamber Decor Not Appearing
What is your EA ID or Console ID (PSN ID/Gamertag)? EA ID: Loneroad1 Steam ID: altpotus35 What platform are you playing on? PC (Steam) What is happening? (and what do you expect to happen instead?) Decorative Assets not loading in the main chamber of the lighthouse. Does this happen in a specific area of the game? This bug is specific to the main chamber of the lighthouse (gathering space/table room/living room) Please share any steps you've tried so far to resolve the issue: Restarted the game, reloaded alternate saves, earlier saves etc. Restarted PC all to no change.
Dragon Age Veilguard crashing
I am having a lot of problems with Veilguard. Sometimes I click the start to begin playing and it starts up and the screen goes to the black screen right before the character scrawl and it just stops running and goes back to the desktop, and occasionally it will load up and when I try to go into an Andeluvian from the Crossroads, it starts to load and then it will again shut down to desktop, usually with no error message whatsoever. I have looked all over the internet for answers, updated every driver (my GPU is less than a week old and my computer is only 2 weeks old) and I am at a loss for what to do.
Nostalgia Trip not unlocking
Hello, I have been trying to get this achievement for 2 days now, the first time I tried I was near end game, I rotated the statues, did the wisps then jumped off the balcony and didnt get the achievement, I reinstalled the game, verified game files, rebooted my pc, started a brand new playthrough where I rotated the statues as soon as I was in lighthouse, then did the wisps after I did necropolis, the achievement still won't unlock. Anyone have any advice for this? Really want to 100% this game..
Direct X 12 issues with Veilguard
I've suddenly started having DX 12 issues with Veilguard whether I'm streaming it or not. Twice within ten minutes, I just had a) total crash to desktop with a GPU Crash/Hang error. b) not even a minute later, same issue but with this error. I honestly don't know what to do because my drivers are up to date, Win 11 is up to date, I've even done a totally clean uninstall/reinstall of the drivers. (Radeon 9070XT) So I am STUMPED.
Lucanis ACT 1 Companion Quest is Bugged: Bidding Farewell
So I do want to say I have had to start over, I was 30 hours into my first save, because I missed a companion quest and realize they are important for late game. So I decided to just start over. I’ve been looking into how to romance characters and keeping them alive while trying to stay as spoiler free as possible, but did see about how the choice for Minrathos and Treviso can cause bothe Lucanis and Neve to harden depending on which you choose. I chose Treviso in my first playthrough and plan to do it on my second because A, I decided to pick being a Crow as a background and B, I wanted to Romance Lucanis. People were saying that if you didn’t pick Treviso it would lock you out but now that I’m back and doing his first couple of companion quests, I realized something. The Bidding Farewell Companion Quest does NOT trigger as complete. So essentially not only does it lock you of of the Hero status for end game, but I also think it locks you out of the romance as well. Can anyone confirm to me whether this quest is complete for them? It’s the quest where you go to the little get together for the first Talon. I also checked my old save file and it isn’t marked as a Completed Quest there either.
"Load Error" Is Not A Bug, The Game Is Actually Working As Intended
One thing I noticed is that HDD (and external/low speed/older SSD I would imagine) is only supported on the Minimum specifications listed for Veilguard by EA: Dragon Age™: The Veilguard - PC System Requirements (ea.com) If you are using an HDD (or potentially an external/low speed/old SSD) it is only supported using the "Low" graphics preset only, any other graphics preset or higher level graphics support shows an SSD is required. So, regardless of the rest of your specs, if you are using an HDD (or potentially an external/low speed/old SSD) you should only attempt to play the game on the "Low" graphics preset. If you want to play the game on a higher graphics preset it is required that you have it installed on an internal SSD. So, while EA did make it clear that unless you want to play the game on the "Low" graphics preset you can't use an HDD, they really should have made it much, much more clear in their requirements, especially on Steam where they did not post this graphic. Given this I wouldn't expect this issue to ever get fixed, because it isn't a bug. If you are running the game off of an HDD (or potentially an external/low speed/old SSD) unless you want to play the game on the "Low" graphics preset it will likely never work correctly on any other graphics settings and this is something that can't be changed since it is fundamental to how the game loads assets into memory.Dragon Age Veigluard Freezes Pc
Hello everyone. I have a problem with the game. At random moments and after a random amount of time, the game freezes my entire computer and requires me to shut it down. I've tried searching forums for help and have done almost everything I could. Deleting one of the folders that players often report, changing settings, disabling RTX, and other such things. Regardless of the settings, the game simply freezes my entire computer after about 3 minutes, 15 seconds, or an hour. This doesn't happen at certain moments with a lot of effects, because it can even happen in the menu. I dont know why i have that problem but please help... im tired of that...
