DA:I won't accept voice-over language changes without crashing

I live in Europe, so my Dragon Age: Inquisition allows me to choose between German and French as options by default, plus English from the English voiceover Add-on. The thing is, my game is *by default* in English, and though I know French I wish to learn German, and thus I tried to switch the Voice-Over language and the Text language both to German.

Switching the text language is always fine, be it English, German, or French - the game allows me to do so with no trouble. When I try to switch the voice-over language, however, starting a new game or trying to load a game is fruitless for some unbeknownst reason. Both German and French voice-overs allow me to go as far as the end of the loading screen where you usually get tips, and then the game suddenly closes. I can still read the menus in main menu, and I can go through the character creation process, but when the game is supposed to start itself it just closes.

When I switch the voice-over back to English, it is perfectly well, however. I've attempted to verify the game, restart my computer, and even as a random attempt tried to reduce every single graphic option to the lowest possible. Does anyone know what the issue is? Thanks in advance for your help!

    @EA_Atic 
    Well I have the Same problem.
    After changing the Voice Language to English from German the game wont load any save file or would alow me to get in the character creation screen. The loading screen with the Cards would appear and a couple seconds later it crashes.
    Yes im using EA App not Origin.
    I hope there is a fix, i hate nothing more then playing games in a translated language.
    Changing it back fixed it but still not being able to change the language sucks.

    @EA_Atic I encouter the same issue.

    I had no trouble changing the voice-over using Origin, but since I use EA Desktop the game can't handle switching (language-pack installed, same conditions as the other's).

    As soon as any  voice-over files (other than the german ones from my originally german game) have to be loaded/accessed the game crashes.

    I can reproduce it every time when trying to enter the character creation.

    I managed to take a few steps in another save in the hinterlands, but as soon as a line of party banter/dialogue is to be expected the game crashes again.

    My people can't speak anything but german. ☹️

    I would prefer playing with original audio.

    I hope you find time to look into this.

    @ewatomiokan it´s because they dont know what they are doing over at EA. The issue is most definitely EA itself. it has always been. do yourself a solid and use steam as often as you can. and maybe download dragon age from a repacker. no morale dilemma since you already bought it. lets all just stay away from EA

    Hi,

    I have the same problem, i can't change my voice-over language (here from french to english). I'm getting infinite loading screen.  But when i go back to french, my save is loading. I'm also using EA app, but i tried to launch the game with origin and the voice-over change didnt work as well.

    I would like to know if something new regarding this bug has come out recently ?
