I may have found a Work Around, and it would be great if they could give us the "Command Line Arguments" to use inside Origin to see the Game to "Windowed Mode"
So, as mentioned before. if I open another window, like a NotePad window, and make it really small, but as the ACTIVE WINDOW (the window with focus)
-- then I can see the menu and motion in the Dragon Age window behind it.
-- I can also manipulate the menu, but, as soon as I click on the menu in DA (Dragon Age) the screen goes black again
if I switch back (ALT-TAB) to my mini notepad window, then I can again see the DA window and my click was registered.
so I very slowly, changed the the settings from "Full Screen" to "Windowed" and slowly upded the resolution to my 1920x1080 (1 click, alt-tab at a time - to the left arrow to go up)
then I changed the graphic settings to LOW (not auto).
when I reloaded the game (Task Manager- End Task), the game was working..
then I had to push my luck and try setting the Graphics Back to AUTO -- it froze after that.
REMEMBER, before you END TASK the window, you must hit "BACK" in the menu in order to "APPLY" the changes, then you can END TASK.
so, if you make the following changes it should work?
-Windowed
- Match your resolution, but this may not be needed, because, even when I did this the window was smaller, but allowed me to drag the corner out to make it bigger
- Graphics to LOW.
Community Admin@Dephyant Thanks for the heads up.
What happens if you manually force the game into windowed mode? You can do so as follows:
GstRender.FullscreenEnabled 0 GstRender.FullscreenMode 1 GstRender.FullscreenScreen 0
Save the file and start the game again.
Let me know how you get on afterwards.
Cheers,

P.S.: A copy of your Dxdiag would be useful for us as well. To gather a DXDIAG on your computer, please follow the steps below:
7. Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report
8. Save this text file to your Desktop if possible
9. Open the text file, select all the text inside (Ctrl + A) and copy it (Ctrl +C).
10. Go to http://hastebin.com/, paste the contents of your DXDiag inside (Ctrl+V) and click Save on the webpage (Ctrl+S).
11. Copy the link of the page in your post, along with a precise description of your issue.
will try that now, but to answer your question
when the DA menu is set to FULLSCREEN (as default when installed)
I tried it in fullscreen, in windowed (Maximized and partial screen) . Screen remained black that whole time. (this last sentence, I'm referring to the MS Windows size maniputlation, not the DA Menu stuff - like using the WINDOWS KEYBOARD KEY + UP/RIGHT arrow)
going to try that stuff now.
The Profile setting were as you suggested already (I did it the slow way!)
Tempted to write a small app to make this easier to manipulate, but I'm sure you guys will have this fixed by the time I did that. lol.
any ideas on how to manually change the graphics to Low from here?
soemthing to do with
GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 0 GstRender.PostProcessQuality 2
?
Community AdminUnfortunately I don't have the variables for those at hand.
However, could you try installing the latest beta drivers that AMD just released?
You can find them here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst14-11-2-BetaWINReleaseNotes.aspx
