Last Rites not Progressing on PC
I got the quest and made it to the area, destroyed the crystals which, at first at least, were just the two unguarded ones by the barriers, but nothing happened, went to complete a different quest in the area and waystoned back to where it was to try again and the barriers were back, along with the guard crystal sequence. Broke the guard crystals, then the main crystals, can access the area, but when one is down the other doesn't fall like it's supposed to, and even destroying both ones doesn't progress the quest.
Camera panning issue
Similar issue to https://forums.ea.com/discussions/dragon-age-the-veilguard-tech-issues-en/camera-panning-issue/5002916 though issue is unresolvable and Veilguard nplayable PC (Windows 11 24H2). I believe the issue lies with the mouse not being able to "zero" itself. Reducing the mouse sensitivity to 0.00 helps but does not resolve the issue, making it less nauseating but still unable to play. The game was installed directly through the EA client (so there is no third-party issue). Multiple monitor setup (though that should not affect the issue).

PS5 : Bellara, Forest of the spirits quest bug
Hello, I'm encountering a game-breaking issue during The Veilguard quest in Dragon Age. As shown in the attached screenshot, I am unable to progress because Bellara's special ability won't activate. Here's a detailed description of the problem: Issue Details: I need to use Bellara's special ability to light a fire and advance the quest. When I select the ability in the abilities wheel and click on it, nothing happens. The ability simply doesn’t activate. Previous Occurrence: This bug has happened to me once before in a quest involving Davrin. At that time, I was able to resolve the issue by loading a previous save and replaying the quest several times. Eventually, the ability worked as intended. Attempts to Fix the Issue: For The Veilguard quest, I’ve tried the following without success: Loading earlier saves and replaying the quest. Reinstalling the game. Verifying that my game is updated to the latest version. Despite these efforts, the bug persists, and I cannot continue the story. Question: Is there anything else I can try to fix this issue? Are there any known workarounds for this specific bug? Thank you in advance for your help!
Regrets of the Dread Wolf
Someone prolly already has a thread on this but I want to bring it up again... I cannot finish Regrets of the Dread Wolf because of an invisible wall. Yes, i have tried downgrading my graphics Yes, i have tried loading a different save I'm just stuck at the portal at an invisible wall... please fix this, i want to finish this quest
Control Issues
Is there a way to disable the auto-aim in this game? Any time I pull out the bow and aim at a enemies head the game forces the cursor away from the enemy and forces me to miss the shot. It's actively forcing me to miss shots. Also, the game's controls are super unresponsive. It's takes a really long time for interactable objects to load properly for some reason so your character will jump 3 or 4 times before the game will allow you to interact with an object. It's very frustrating. I get this isn't a problem if you're a slower player but it takes several inputs before I see what I'm pressing happen on screen and this isn't a latency issue, the game just doesn't read or it ignores inputs as whatever it is you're interacting with loads I guess? The problems with inputs not being read happens during battles too. If you try to aim the bow you'll usually have to hold down RT at least twice before the character will pull out the bow. To dodge or recover or use a potion you have to press the button several times and hope the game reads one of the inputs... but it even misses those sometimes. This sucks because, while very bland and safe, this game actually runs really well and is fun. The controls are just so unresponsive that I may end up putting it down. I don't know how others play games like this. I find it way too frustrating.
Lucanis Romance Bug
I originally talked about this on the discord, because it's obviously frustrating and you do start to wonder if the romance is just badly done or if the problem is real despite all the obvious buggy red flags. This is the current amount of people who've seen it and are having the same or similar issues, so I'm putting it here too with some more detail. Interaction with Companions Issues Almost every single companion stopped talking to him as soon as the romance was confirmed. They'll occasionally do a post-quest banter or a very very occasional random one and then come right back to nothing. I know there's still a lot of banter they haven't said, because it includes companions I hadn't taken out with him more than a handful of times. It also includes the banter where they would comment on the romance, only Neve had anything to say about it. No one in the lighthouse has had any ambient dialogue about the romance as of yet either (currently very near endgame), and I know that's a thing with the other routes. Neve still talks sometimes. mostly in the lighthouse, but she talks a little more than the others do outside. Still less than other companion teams, but despite being the only one to have a banter acknowledging the romance, she still flirts as if it's heading for the companion version. I imagine that's not intentional, but I guess it's possible that she's just not that big on the girl code! Interaction with Rook Issues He cycled through the romance greetings one time each immediately post-commit and then went back to using the generic greetings. Like, I've tested it thoroughly trying to figure this out, he will literally never say them again. Most of the time he just says the very sullen "Rook." option, which I think we can all agree would probably prompt a Conversation if that was how our person was greeting us on the regular! He has no change in combat banter or any kind of quest commentary either. His cutscenes and such trigger correctly, but they seem to be the only thing that's properly flagged. Even in personal quests, I don't think he's saying the romance version of his commentary as you move around, but obviously that's harder to tell without getting pretty far in an unromanced playthrough. I don't know if any romance has alternate lines for quests, but it would be normal for bw to have that so I'm including it. I'm genuinely having more content for the inter-companion romance than I am for this Rook's actual LI. I see a good bit of arguing about if the Lucanis route is good or not and I think this bug or something like it is probably at the root of it, but is getting lost in the noise about the slow burn aspect. On PC, tried both a repair and a fresh install when the problem first emerged with limited success. Neve did comment on the romance after I reinstalled, could be entirely coincidental though. His approval is fully maxed, unhardened and he's HotV.
Can't complete heart of corruption
Title. I've already beaten all the champions, collected the essence, but I can unlock their respective gates. I've gone back to see if I missed anything, and there is nothing there. Irrelevant: on top of that, I can't complete regrets of dread wolf either for similar reasons. Very, Very irritated right now Console playerGame crashes after trying to reach a certain location (Arlathan Forest)
I think i am not the only one who experience absolute downgrade of a performance after patch 3, which suppose to fix a lot of bugs. I never had this experience before, but the game got laggy and there's a noticeable increase of fps drops. But the most annoying one is the sudden crashes. This happens three times, and some location might be the trigger of this bug because i am trying to go to this one location three times and it keeps shutting off the game. Without fail. I haven't try any other location but this is the area where the game never fails to shut off completely. I was trying to finish the Spirits of the Dalish quest and every time i jump to touch the rock or the wrecked ship, the game crashes. Update: it wasn't only that specific area, but just playing in Arlathan Forest in general. The game crashes after I play for around 10 mins. I played in Treviso for about an hour before and i did not have this bug. Will update if the crashes persist in other region as well. Idk if anyone also experience this or not but if you do please let me know. I know my pc is capable of running the game smoothly, as i have tried running it with ultra setting and it was fine before (although i put it on high awhile back). My game doesn't have any mods in it too. If there's something that I can do to prevent this, do let me know as well. I will try to avoid this area for now and see if the bug persist.
Black flickering dots on skin
Someone please help! I have flickering black artifact dots running all along the neck of myself and any other companion. I’ve adjusted all the settings, I have the newest graphics card which I did a clean install on and can’t figure out how to get rid of them. I have attached video to show the dots. Thank you!Chest-Cliff Climb
I cannot get to the chest in Cliff Climb on xbox. I hug the opening in the wall, but no prompt given to have Taash interact with the exploding vase. I have tried throwing my shield at at. The shield will hit the wall behind it, but the vase still will not explode. I have tried standing/looking from all angles but still no prompt. It seems like a game bug.High Dragon Corpse Disappears Too Quickly
Hi Bioware team, I killed the High Dragon in The Pinnacle quest, and as I was posing my team to take a picture with the felled beast, the dragon disappeared. It's obviously too late forme for this one, but I know I have at least one (likely more) High Dragon left to fight. Would it be possible to prevent the Dragon from disappearing until my character has left the room? Thanks so much, ChrisTranslation of Abilities to PT-BR Contains Errors
There are some issues with the translation to Portuguese in the "skill tree." A significant one is the translation of "strike." Some strike abilities are translated as "ataque", while others are translated as "golpe." Technically, both terms are correct, but this inconsistency can create confusion. When reading the skills, it seems like they refer to different types of abilities. For instance, if you choose a skill that enhances "ataque" abilities, you might think it doesn't enhance "golpe" abilities, even though both are classified as "strike" abilities in English. Please address this inconsistency.
Graphic Bugs after Patch 3
Hey guys, after patch 3 i have huge graphic bugs specially in the lighthouse area but also in bright regions. For example the fog in Arlathan is brighter und more colourful. Bright regions are dazzling. But the main problem are the "bug walls". I took a screenshot. Before patch 3 all was fine and i got like no bugs at all. May anyone have the same problem or a solution? Thanks a lot!
Lucanis Romance Audio Bug
Playing on XBOX. When viewing Lucanis’ romance scene during the quest ‘The Dragon and the Dread Wolf’ when choosing the dialogue option ‘That makes two of us’ the first couple of lines from my Rook are very out of sync with his mouth moving, as if there is delay between when the audio starts and when the mouth moves. I’m using Masculine Voice 1. The lines specifically are “I didn’t think I’d ever get out of there. How do I know if I really did? This could be more of the Fade.” All rest of the dialogue in the scene appears to match up fine.
