Inquisitor Appearance Bug
I custom created my Inquisitor's appearance - I imported a character I had created previously, but then edited the Inquisitor afterwards (not sure if that matters). However she appears as the default elf female preset and without hair. Attached images show how she appears in game versus the character creator.
AMD 9070XT Black Screen Crash
I have been playing for the past few weeks and have started running into near constant crashes. The frequency of these crashes is anywhere between every few minutes to few hours. It does not seem to correspond to any in game events though at one point I managed to get it to consistently happen when entering one area but it fixed itself there after about 10 crashes. The crashes are all screens turning off, the game sounds sometimes continuing (and I can tell I am interacting with the game due to controller vibrations), some times my GPU fans spin up to 100%. In all situations it is not recoverable and the system will eventually restart, sometimes instantly other times after a few minutes. Sometimes after restarting my graphics card is no longer detected causing multiple issues that need resolving step by step. I have tried all troubleshooting I can online, my best solution is to DDU , reinstall drivers to force the shaders to fully recompile and then I can usually get around 30 minutes into the game before it fails again (though I suspect it might be placebo) . It is not temperature, or overclock as I have tried underclocking and keeping a temp log to no success. I have tested both a Linux install as well as windows and the error appears on both, and I have tested on a steamdeck and I can force the error to occur by changing the screen refresh rate while the game is running . I am currently installing my older GPU to see if I can run the game with that instead but there is clearly something broken either with my new 9070 XT or, I hope, with the game/drivers. I have not had issues like this with other games but DAV is the game I have played the longest with this card. Any help would be appreciated and if you have the same issue I would welcome a comment just so I can know that I am not alone and it is more likely to be the drivers or game and not a busted card!DATV Won't Open
As of a week or so ago my Dragon Age game WILL NOT OPEN. I have tried everything I can think of (uninstall/reinstall, run as admin, delete shade cache, check file integrity through steam, updated drivers) NOTHING has worked. When I go to open the game (through steam or using the desktop shortcut) it will pop up like the game is trying to load, but it never get farther than a white screen before crashing and closing the window. I am lost and utterly heartbroken. I have over 100 hours in the game and only 6 achievements away from completing the game entirely. Please somebody tell me there is a fix for this.Rook's Weapon Appearance brok BD armour
I had the Blood Dragon Armour as pre-purchase items. Then I installed the Rook's Weapon Appearance DLC which was available free, and the BD items disappeared from my wardrobe, from the current playthrough and all the earlier ones. I removed the DLC, which didn't help, and made a ticket, got some copy-paste replies from EA Help that were no use at all, and then they outsourced the problem to the forums, telling me to seek a solution there. They've also force-closed the ticket without a clear option to keep it open. So good job there too. My game is bought on Steam, which says EA doesn't manage their items there so contact EA Help. EA Help tried to tell me to contact Steam. VG doesn't show up in my EA App, perhaps because the game doesn't support linking between EA App and Steam (if it did, the Steam page would say so, right, like it does for DAI?), even though my accounts are linked. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the game and verifying the files, but no effect. I used to have the items so no doubt EA could give them back to me if they could be bothered. Which they obviously aren't. Luckily, I wasn't expecting much from the ticket, and that's what I got. With all the issues other people are having with their items, it seems it's pretty much a matter of luck whether you actually have the items you've earned or paid for. So, anyone here have a solution?
When loading, get a black screen with the game still loading
For some reason over the last couple of days, I have been dealing with whenever I try to load the game after I stop playing for a bit, I get a black screen that loads and then sits there and it seems like nothing happens but the game does load and then I can hear the sound and everything and can hear when my mouse seemingly goes over the menu options. I have tried the following: Updated Graphics drivers to the latest Updated Windows to the latest Verified Game Files Deleted the shader cache Rolled back my Graphics driver to an earlier version to see if that works. The only thing that seems to work is uninstalling the game and reinstalling...which is insanely annoying to do. At this point I'll keep reinstalling to be able to play the game....but it's annoying.
Missing Saves
This is apparently a recurring problem but I haven't seen a solution anywhere. I lost about 10 hours of gameplay despite frequently manually saving. I played earlier today but when I loaded the game in the evening it loaded back to the dragon attack on Minrathous. Is there a fix to this or do I just swear off EA? Playing on PS5
Visual Issue - Missing Water Splash Visual Effect
Hello, I have noticed a small visual error/bug/glitch in the game. When Rook is in a body of water and jumps on the spot, no splash effect is displayed when landing. What is displayed, strangely, is an incorrect dirt/dust spray effect. To clarify, one has to keep the character still. The issue is only present when jumping on the spot in water. Walking in water displays the correct effect. Best.
DirectX Error - "Dx12Renderer::waitOnSwapChain Gpu timeout detected"
What is your EA ID or Console ID (PSN ID/Gamertag)? charlesrex.ck@gmail.com What platform are you playing on? - PC Windows 11 What is happening? (and what do you expect to happen instead?) On my PC, when I leave Veilguard on Pause to do something else on my computer, at least half the time when I return to Veilguard, I find the game did a CTD, with the following error message: DirectX function "Dx12Renderer::waitOnSwapChain Gpu timeout detected" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The GPU will not respond to more commands"). GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, Driver;: 56094. This error is usually caused by the graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest drivers.

The Labs Below won't trigger [PC]
Encoutered a bug where I can't complete the Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest because I can't collect the last memory. When I first entered the Crossroads I slid down the slope and the cutscene for this quest triggered, but I felt like I wasn't ready for it and wanted different companions, so I reloaded to just before. Now when I try to go down there to finish this quest the cutscene won't trigger, Tarasahl isn't there and the door is closed and can't be interacted with. Trying to reload an even earlier save isn't really an option because I've played for 80 hours since then. The last patch did not fix this. I would hate to have to abandon my first playthrough so far in, it kinda puts me off playing the game altogether.
DLSS Option Disappearing from Settings
NVIDIA DLSS option was there on first launch, then gone on second (could only choose None, AMD FSR, or Intel XESS). Looks like if I set it with GeForce Experience, it sticks for next launch, but then disappears again after exiting and coming back, and it switches itself to FSR. Anyone else having this issue?
FPS drops and No DLSS
Hey! I'm not sure if anyone has been experiencing this problem, but I've been noticing an issue where performance will worsen over a session. Typically I'll start off with 60+FPS, but an hour later I can visit the same area and only be getting 30FPS. This seems to worsen when I visit a new area for example Crossroads -> arlathan forest. I'll load into this area and be getting 20 FPS. However, if I exit the game and then reload it I'll be getting 40+ FPS? Seems to me like there might be a memory leak going on, or the game is trying to keep previous areas loaded. Another issue that's really been bugging me is that DLSS is not appearing as an upscaling option. I was able to use DLSS for the first couple hours of my playthrough, but then it disappeared as an option and now only AMD and Intel Upscaling are listed as available. I tried to verify the integrity of my files, which didn't help. At the moment the only way I can get DLSS is if I force it through GeForce Experience. However, if I restart the game this option will disappear again
Game Save Progress Missing
For the last couple gaming sessions, Dragon Age Veilguard has lost the most recent saved progress. For my last manual save, my character was in Arlithan Forest, standing in front of Harding to take the boat to the next area, and when I came back a day later the save was gone. The last manual and automatic saves are oddly in the exact same spot, and I've probably lost about an hours worth of progress, along with multiple manual and automatic saves. I opened a case with EA, but is anyone else encountering this problem?
