Re: [PC] Dragon Age : Inquisition error "created with newer version"

@duha1444 Do you have mods installed currently, or did you have them installed and have since removed them?
If you had mods installed and removed them (which can be necessary for certain parts of the game, such as DLC areas), you need to go to Program Files > Origin Games > Dragon Age Inquisition > Update > Patch and open the package.mft file within using notepad. Increase the version number inside by one, save, and try loading your save again.

If you have mods installed, then somehow the version number in your mod folder is too low. Instead of the location mentioned above, go to ... Origin Games > Dragon Age Inquisition > Update > Patch_ModMangerMerge (or whatever you named your merged mod folder, that is the default name), and change the package.mft file in there instead. If you have mods installed, don't change the package.mft file in your Patch folder, the mod folder number needs to be higher in order for your mods to work.

If you ever need to remove your mods (even temporarily), you need to change the package.mft file in your patch folder in order to load your saves. Remember to change it back before putting your mod folder back or creating a new mod merge. 😉
