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!
OK playing now so far so good.
What fixed the crashing for me was right clicking the desktop short cut, going to compatibility and ticking launch as administrator. Applying and launching.
I tried right clicking the short cut and going to the admin option from there but would crash. Ticking it in compatibility got it working for me.

- I have read meant users saying the game would not launch it would bring up a black screen then auto crash back to the desktop....
That is exactly the issue I was having... and just letting others know what fixed it for 'ME'
