Tons of people having the same issue, EA's Solution? Get a refund. Buy it for console. So glad i preordered all so that i CANT play because EA faield to mention.
From now on dont go PC unlesss you spend over a grand on your computer is what EA might as well be saying.This seems absolutely rediculous! I've never had this issue before with high fidelity games such as Shadows of Mordor or Dark Souls 2, They ran FINE on my Dual Core laptop! This has got to be patchable! There is no excuse for this especially when there is no mention of the spec requirements on the Origin purchacising page. I don't care if it was mentioned on EA's or Dragon Age's website somewhere else that's just terribly problematic. I've never heard of games that simply refuse to launch becuase of very specific driver requirements! This computer is only a bit more than a year old. Please patch this soon, the idea of being hamstrung to play your favorite games by such a petty thing makes me furious. What do they think this game is The Witch 3?
Btw, from what I've heard: the game still looks great on low settings so people on old computers (like 3 years old) should be able to play it -Matt Rorie of Giant Bomb
If you can't optimize your game for dualcore but Dark Souls 2 and Shadows of Mordor COULD, what were you doing?
sorry for the overall angry rant but this feels like a giant gut-punch with a 100 ton wrecking ball.
Update; didn't work. I'm done for today or my head will explode.
well, after having been in chat with support for 2 hours and a whole bunch of actions they made me do, I've just submitted a request for a full refund.
For all European gamers: you can get a full refund up to 7 days after your purchase date or, if you pre-ordered, up to 7 days after launch date.
I feel that this is the only way publishers will learn that they need to deliver a finished product to their customers and not something buggy.
For getting a refund, go to your order history (in the Origin client, under Help - Order history, Open up the line with Dragon Age Inquistion and click the blue restitution
I've got same problem as most of you. My game simply won't launch; it keeps crashing even before I can activate it. I got a CLEVO p170EM with an i7 3630qm (HD4000 iGPU) and a 7970m, with Enduro (pain in the **bleep**..). I cannot disable Morphological anti-aliasing as stated before (some Intel HD graphics users just managed to got it working like that). My drivers are up to date and I managed to do all the things listed before. I truly believe that we are in need for a patch and we need it NOW. I payed 70 Euros for this game to have it the first day and I'm really disappointed to only know from customers support that I have to "format my system" as my only options. Wake up, guys, I'm not the first dumbass on the earth, I managed to keep my laptop ok since today, I'm not gonna format because we are in need for a solution. We need a PATCH to resolve this issue with integrated graphics and stop. Just manage to find the latest drivers and make the game compatible. Right now. Please

I wish. I upgraded to Beta right away, and that did nothing to help the problem.

Their technical support is meant to weed out all of the simple stupid issues like program conflicts or whatever. All it is going to do for someone where the problem lies with the software (and not requirements) is compound the frustration. I'm wondering how long you have to request a refund? I doubt its going to be within the timeframe of god knows how long its going to take them to wake up and patch it. So do i go for the refund and buy it again later or wait it out and hope. In my mind, It is not a question of whether or not a patch is needed. The only question is will EA/Bioware do anything about it and WHEN?
Will someone who has successfully got the game working please post a copy of your configuration ini? It should be in the Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age Inquisition/Saves folder.
I have a suspicion that the problem lies with one or more of the default settings, but I cannot test this without an ini since the game has never successfully launched for me yet.

I cant find an ini for this game (yes I have access to a machine that it works on). I looked where you said and actually did a search for .ini on the machine...didnt see any game related ini's. Maybe its this file that said profile options?... but dont think it is file extension ini.
