Dragon Age Inquisition doesn't start?

Been fighting with this since last night and it has me aggrivated. My mother and I pre-ordered and loaded the game.

I uninstalled completelly and reinstalled after the first error.

Then I exited origin and re-entered. Downloaded origin updates. Still errored.

Exited and re-entered again. Still errored.

Redownloaded all new drivers, even ran a test for "can I play this game." I still can't get the actually game to run.

Setting the switchable graphic to "high performance" solved the problem for me

Alienware 17 dual graphic card switching seems caused the problem.

still crashes after black window (sometimes it goes to main screen then freezes)

updated Intel drivers, reinstalled Origins, reinstalled DAI. still not working ☹️ PLEASE FIX

Hey guys,

I found a fix that worked for me. Hoping you some if you guys might be able to try it too.

I'm using a Surface Pro 2 with Intel HD graphics.

When I launched the game, it opened in a black box but crashed when it went full screen.

Here's the settings I tried that worked for me:

Control Panel > Intel HD Graphics > 3D > Changed "Conservative Morphological Anti-Aliasing" to "Override Application Settings". By default, this was turned off. "Enhance Application Settings" also seems to work but I do not understand the full technical differences.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

This is getting ridiculous. I FINALLY get the darn game to update and let me actually luanch it and then this exact thing happens...I mean, really? And has there been ANY help for this and the dozens of other fatal, game breaking crashes and errors??? Please write back if you figure out how to fix/get around this newest "issue", I would really, REALLY like to play this game that I forked up a stupid amount of money for sometime this year, thanks.

Alright, I'm almost positive this is an "Orgin" issue. I pass the minimum requirements, I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Orgin and DA:I, I have updated Windows 8 64 bit/nVidia 760/and intel graphic driver chipsets, I have disconected my gamepad (as I read on another forum ppl were waving issues with), and I repaired the frikkin game several times now...nothing. Still barely manage to get to the main menu for about ten seconds before the music stops the screen freezes and the game locks up, forcing me to have to alt+tab (and at time have to do a complete ctrl+alt+delete to even be able to pull up task manager) and manually end-task. I have read through EVERY frikkin page on these forums that have to do with DA:I not starting/crashing at main menu and I have followed every bloody step everyone and their dog has posted, and NOTHING has worked for me...In despair and on the brink of having a frikkin stroke brought on by an entire wasted night's worth of screwing around trying to get the game I pre-ordered MONTHS ago to just frikkin work, I completely shut Origin's setting off. Went into settings and made sure Origin was not allowed to run in-game and then went offline. The game started, allowed me to change my graphics settings without crashing, and even let me get as far as create a character...I was in hesitant hope that I had figured out how to just frikkin play, even if I was offline and the world save I had spent hours in DA Keep creating (my save games from the previous two games were lost in a hardware failure and I havent had the time to replay) wasn't able to upload, and started letting myself enjoy the beautiful graphics of the character creation (on a side note, would it kill EA to actually make it possible to create an attractive female in ANY of their games?). After exploring the different options and upon almost completing my character, I heard a dread-inducing "systems-error" jingle. Game locked up and I had to ctrl+alt+delete to get out. Upon reaching desktop I found a nasty little error box greeting me. Now there was some problem with directX. I'm done. I'm tired, I'm pissed and I just want this damn game to work. I'll check back in a few hours to see if anyone or perhaps...EA themselves? -no...that'd be to much to frikkin ask for- has figured out a way to fix these issues. I really hope so, because this game actually really looks amazing (my hatred for all the youtubers who have had absolutely no issues and flaunt their ability to play this so easily is growing by the moment >_< ;')). I hope everyone who is having these issues finds a way around them and is able to enjoy their hard-earned gameplay, just let the rest of us know, hey? Peace!

I was having a crash at startup issue and this fixed it!

I'm on a laptop with an i7-4600U.

same problem here and have no idea what to do

You are amazing. I actually love you right now. Intel HD Graphics users this works. I can confirm as of right now it works completely. I am so ecstatic. <3 xD
