DA2: Unable to launch

After playing DA2 Ultimate Edition (bought on Steam), it fails to launch on PC.

I've been having issues with it from the start: the game wouldn't launch in full window mode and would crash frequently. Then it started having issues launching. I tried:

  • Disabling every overlay possible (which did help at first, it seemed).
  • Ending EA background processes.
  • Running the game offline.
  • Running the EA app as an administrator.
  • EA app recovery.
  • Verifying the file integrity in Steam.
  • Reinstalling the EA app.
  • Reinstalling the game.

Nothing seems to be working now. The game is refusing to launch. Are there any reliable solutions, or should I just give up and get my refund?

Here's the error I get:

  • I'm getting the same "failed to launch the game" error periodically, and have also tried all the steps above. I'm attaching my dxdiag here in case that's useful to anyone who might be able to help both of us. 

    The thing that is most frustrating about this is how intermittent it is!
