Dragon Age Inquisition doesn't start?
Game wont launch. It opens a black box that immediately crashes to the desktop.
Forum Discussion
I got past the black screen quick-crash
- Right clicked on the Dragon Age Inquisition desktop icon
- Selected Properties
- Selected Compatibility tab
- In Settings, checked "Run this program as an administrator"
- Clicked Apply, then OK
Program now starts:
- Permission to make changes is asked by Windows, and granted
- Icon shows in the bottom right, slighly pulsing
- Cursor is game arrow (golden)
- Up comes a warning dialog that things are being updated in game
- The opening animation (marching mages and Templars) shows; no sound. Also not full-screen.
- Click on the screen. It goes full-screen, animation freezes, but now I hear opening music
- Next click or keyboard action crashes everything, and Origin and Inquisiton windows gone
So some progress, but it would sure be nice to get to character creation!
Any news of a patch coming? IGN review said the game was very buggy and that they were told a patch was supposed to come quickly after or before launch. I am hoping they add driver detection for their game, fix the issue with the GTX 660 series, whatever the problem is. Whatever they should have been doing weeks or months ago to prepare for launch they need to be doing NOW. I know enough to know its not me, when I can play everything else fine but this game. 8 cores, 16 GB, 4GB of video memory...I think maybe I should be able to run it?
