DA:I Inquisitor's face changed midgame.
I went through great care to make my dalish girl appear pretty typical, smooth skin without being like a baby's bottom, average facial structure, etc. So you can imagine how disappointing it is when I go into a conversation and discover that her face has suddenly become that of an old woman. Same tattoos but wrinkles and age all over the place.
is there a way to reverse this, or do I have to possibly lose hours of gameplay going back to a previous save where she isn't like this? Or is this even fixable? it's kinda disappointing and disconcerting.
It's the stupid patch EA forced during the update today. There is a workaround for the face issue but the graphics still aren't right and I keep having crashing all the time now. Post below is copy/pasted:
POST FROM BIOWARE:
Hey Everyone,
We're working on getting a hot fix out for the PC graphics issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, here is a workaround you can try:
To start, make sure the quality setting you choose is equal to the setting set for Mesh Quality inside Options>Graphics
You will need to add a new command line parameter. To do this:
Through Origin:
Right click on the Dragon Age Inquisition title
Go to game properties
Type the command line parameter in the Command Line Properties box.
Through shortcut:
Right Click Shortcut
Go to PropertiesUnder target go to the end of the field and type the command line parameter into the box
Once there, add the following command line parameter: -ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel <quality setting>In this instance, <quality setting> should be one of the following:
Ultra
High
Medium
Low
An example of how to set your quality to high would be: -ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel High
Please note that once the hot fix is out, you will need to go back in and remove this workaround from your command line.
It’s also important to note that pre-patch 2, all users on PC were being forced to use the Ultra shader quality. This means that those of you playing on lower settings will notice a decrease in quality, particularly players using low or medium settings.
To achieve the same visuals as pre-patch, users on lower settings will need to change their settings to Ultra, which should likewise be used in conjunction with Ultra mesh quality. Mismatching the mesh and shader settings will result in other visual artifacts like overly shiny hair.
Please be aware that changing settings to Ultra may impact performance on some machines.
Sorry about any frustration this may have caused.
