Dragon Age Inquisition Crashes on Startup
Symptoms: When I launch the game, my desktop goes white with a black window for about 1-3 seconds then nothing. Before yesterday, the last time I had opened the game was November 18th, and it was...

OK So I've still been playing around with it and I got it working finally. I have opened and closed the game three times as of now with no issues. It is running with the Nvidia 344.75 drivers SLI enabled.
If anyone else is having the same issue, please ensure Microsoft windows is up to date with patches. I just ran windows update I had 41 new ones since the last time I ran it - sometime around november 18th.
If this breaks again I will post an update.
EDIT:
Ok so I opened the game, started going through the settings, went back to the main screen an BAM - frozen. Oh and this was AFTER Origins froze and I had to restart it...
Situation improved?: Yes. Playable?: Not like this...
Played around some more. Looks playable enough for now.
Just FYI Origins does nothing but crash my game. I have to play offline for a smooth gameplay experience. You might want to disable your connection while playing if it starts to happen again. HTH
Thanks for the tip!
I've just playing the beginning and so far no crashes without being in offline mode. Only issue was flickering of the snowy rocks which was solved by disabling vertical sync in-game and forcing it through driver profiles.
New day, old problem....
Absolutely nothing on my PC has changed since yesterday yet today I am back to square one.
I submitted a ticket through their little app that comes with the game two days ago. I still haven't gotten any sort of reply.
Do I feel cheated at this point? You bet your **bleep** I do. It's been a long week, I have some time to really dive into this game without my wife or kids bothering me and I can't. Not because of any emergency. Not because my computer is broken, or too old to run it. But because the game won't start. A brand new game, playing on 2 month old hardware, simply gives me a black window and crashes.....
This is simply unacceptable EA. This game is obviously extemely flawed and should have been tested far more extensively before being released. I am sorely tempted to simply ask for a refund and never again purchase a game that you put your name on.
