Dragon Age: Veilguard Crashes within a minute
Just got the game on steam. It loads up, then goes into the settings selection menu. Within a few seconds, it freezes and crashes. I tried speeding through the settings, reducing graphics from Ultra to High, same thing. Graphics card (NVIDIA 4090) and Windows is already updated.CreatorOFstormz25 days agoNew Traveler19KViews25likes114CommentsError loading save
I had just started Dragon Age the Veilguard and was experiencing some lag at the ritual site. I changed a couple graphics settings and restated the game and when I tried to load my save I encountered this problem. Restarting my PC did not solve the issue. The graphics settings were changing: lighting quality to medium, the terrain quality setting to medium and the terrain decoration setting to medium from high. What is your EA ID or Console ID (PSN ID/Gamertag)? lilllilly123 What platform are you playing on? PC, Windows 11, Steam What is happening? (and what do you expect to happen instead?) Expecting a save to load, it is not. Does this happen in a specific area of the game? hard to say, none of the saves are loading before that area but before changing the graphics settings there was no reason to load a previous save. I made a new character, all the same settings, and when I tried to load one of those saves from the main menu I found that that save would load, however the character loaded without hair even after the train textures had generated. Please share any steps you've tried so far to resolve the issue: Restarted the game, restarted steam, tried to load a different save, restarted PC, tried loading from a different character If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip... As a note this is the least helpful error message I have ever seen. If on PC, please share aDxDiagfile and an EA app Error ID Number The error does not give me access to either of these.Solvedlilllilly12325 days agoSeasoned Novice16KViews45likes149CommentsCrackling sound making it unplayable

Was playing through the game as normal and suddenly I can't interact with certain objects in the crossroads- namely so far, Evanuris Altars, Fen'Harel Altars and one of those big chests. I don't know what changed, but they're not glowing to open/use them and there's no interactable button. I've tried reloading the save and leaving the area then coming back and nothing is fixing it. Earlier in the game they were working. edit: it's not JUST in the crossroads, it's everywhere.SolvedKoyoyoyo22 days agoNew Traveler7.7KViews27likes175CommentsLucanis romance bug after Act 1 decision
Because it's DEFINITELY a bug that lucanis is perma-locked out of romance if you don't save Treviso, while you get to still romance neve eventually for the EQUAL and opposite decision? Especially while not telling us so, with text simply saying that growing the relationship will progress slower after being hardened (the SAME thing it says for neve's romance, which is still possible while lucanis' isn't as far as anyone has been able to discover) EA wouldn't punish one of the romance options that would be predominantly chosen by women while most male players get to save a city AND get the girl. As well as having a romance that completely locks you out of the best ending if you pursue it, when NO OTHER companion romance is tethered to a big plot decision like that.deadpetaleijon22 days agoSeasoned Novice7KViews32likes50CommentsLucanis 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.therushgirl1321 days agoSeasoned Traveler7KViews19likes34CommentsThe Heart of Corruption Can't Open Door Cannot open Door

This problem started when I first started playing the game. For some reason, if I try to load an old save, it seems like there a 2/3 chance of it loading in a standard default character appearance. On trialling it, sometimes quitting the game and reloading the most recent save works, but any older saves revert the appearance. There also still a chance of it happening even on the most recent save. I can take screenshots if necessary. I'm playing the game from Steam, if that helps make things clearer.6cb39351c03c6d7b25 days agoSeasoned Newcomer5KViews26likes25CommentsAntivan Crows Merchant disappears

This issue first started after creating my character and going into the rendered world space. The audio was breaking up, stuttering up and crackling, and the cutscene was stuttering along with it, only moving along with the audio. After it ended, the audio problem remained but the game was no longer slow with it. This audio issue seemed to improve when I lowered the graphics settings, but as the game went on it kept coming back, being the worst in areas with lots of ambient audio (such as crowds of people, battles, and rivers), and now even with the lowest settings it is still present and very obnoxious. It's to the point where I can't play the game any more and I will have to return it if there is no fix. I have verified the game files, updated my drivers, manipulated the audio settings both in game and on my PC, disabling system sound, lowering to CD quality audio, and disabling all enhancements. I have searched in these forms, Reddit, Discord, Steam, YouTube and online articles and tried every suggested fix with no success. My computer meets all the minimum specifications and has never had any problem like this with any other graphically intense game, even at the highest settings.battleax519 days agoSeasoned Newcomer3.1KViews5likes2CommentsDragon Age: The Veilguard - Last Rites BUGS on XBOX

I am currently working on the quest, Gate of Pale Reflections, but the boss does not spawn after destroying the Blight pod and then getting rid of the roots with champion essence. I have noticed that if I leave the area the blight pod respawns for some reason but not the gate. So that might be causing it. Ive fast traveled before and after breaking just the pod or the gate or both and nothing will get the boss to spawn. Plus the marker is still there like I haven’t put the essence in and destroyed the gate. When I do load the save though, everytime, Rook says something about breaking the Blight Pod even though it’s still there. I’ve been trying to figure this out for almost 2 hours.Solvedtherushgirl1324 days agoSeasoned Traveler3KViews2likes8CommentsFormless One Bug
