UPDATE
I found the fix! If anyone else has this problem and has Avast antivirus, add Inquisition as an exclusion. 🙂
My game also does not want to start at all, it looks like it might for a few seconds but then nothing. All drivers up to date, have run boosterdriver, techutillities and restoro. tried the compatibility, tried the disable full screen optimization, tried the admin, tried the clean boot, tried the re-install of cvs and diretx, repaired and updated, un-installed and re-installed Origin and DAI. still nothing, short from completely cleaning my comp I am out of ideas. And No my problem is not the antivirus (have the windows defender, but even so added to exceptions and even disabled it). This game run flawlessly on this same system before (haven't played it for about two years). Don't really want to format my comp, have other games too that still work and will take ages to re-install, but it must be something on my comp if I look at how easy others have solved the issue. Any ideas ppl???
Post up a DxDiag file so we have some idea of what's going on in your PC. Basics are repair install with origin, making sure Origin AND DAI are run as adim, and temp disable of AV to see if it helps. There are many things that can cause this, anything from cross program interference to a glitch in Windows to a hardware issue.
