Crashing After Respec

I made a few bad decisions with my skill points and wanted to reset them.


Every time I use the Respec Amulet on my Inquisitor, the game freezes up.

I've tried this in multiple areas too. Hinterlands, Haven, Storm Coast, it happens no matter where I am.


Is there any way to fix this?

    Additional Info - I'm a Human Mage. Not sure if that makes a difference.

    This might help. Open windows explorer (files and folders) and go to,

    Program files(x86)>Origin>Games>Dragon Age Inquisition

    Then right-click on DragonAgeInquisition.exe, select properties, click the compatibility tab, and tick 'Run program as Administrator', and apply.

    Same problem....Gamne freezes dead for 5-10 minutes. then I have to use the task manager to get out of a white screen.

  • I am able to skip the crash but it does happen for me. I was able to respec save then relaod and just travel to another area. Seemed to avoid the crash.

  • Yep, same thing happened to me twice now. Human Mage too.

    Going to try and save immediately after respeccing then load the game and see if that can bypass it, will respond here to notify if this helps fix the issue.

    edit: It seems saving immediately after respeccing can save you from a crash. I experienced a black screen crash when trying to load the save right after. But once you shut it down, enter the game again and reload the save it should work as normal.

    Here's hoping there isn't any "taint" on my file now that is going to make me crash later down the track.... First major issue I've had playing this game, not bad considering I'm 65 hours in.

    I had this happen once on my human mage, but have since respecc'd a few times without issue.  Not sure what I'm doing differently, but here's how I'm running my game:

    --Not running as administrator, but my user account is an admin
    --Online features are disabled (they were enabled the first time I respecc'd and had a freeze)
    --Running the game outside of the Origin client as I have to use the switches to force 60fps or the dialogue/cutscene feezing issue makes the game unplayable
    --Full screen windowed

    Hope any of this helps.

    Here's a a way to stop the crash that i tried dozens of time's already and yet haven't crashed.just simply apply the point everytime you invest it in perk.not sure if it's just me or its actually a solution but hopefully that would fix your problems 🙂.
