I've been having a similar issue with DA:I. Everything was fine until installing the EA App & replacing the Origin one in the process. Now every time I try launching DA:I it fails to boot up. DA:O and DA2 both launch fine, with no issues at all. Sadly DA:I just won't launch at all - yet there's no error message or anything - just flits between opening the EA app window and looking as if the game's going to launch, & nothing. Less than impressed - someone please help!

I too have this problem. I had been playing the game just fine for the past month or so on my computer with origin. Today Origin told me I should download the ea app to replace origin and Now my game won't load. Ever Same thing it just flits a black screen for 3 seconds and then pretends its left. Ea should make sure things work before they push out something like this

Exact same issue. I can't believe they tell you 'we are working on it, watch the forums', as others reported it was said. It is 2023, and EA forces me to change the launcher app that makes the previous app unusable and the game not-playable. I played just yesterday with no problems. Then, today, I fire up Origin, it forces me to install the new app and uninstalls itself---with no way to opt out, I may add-- and when I try to launch Inquisition, I get a black screen as if it was about to launch, then it closes itself and I am left with the useless but huge EA app screen showing 'hey, you have the game but guess what, you can't play it, haha'.
My daughter just wanted to start on Inquisition this weekend seeing me play for hundreds of hours these past years, literally, without any issue. For her sake, I really hope this will be fixed sooner or later instead of languishing for months. What the hell is happening?

I managed to get DA:I to load by temporarily disabling my anti-virus (Avast) - 'disable Avast shields' - that seems to've fixed the problem, though it's not exactly ideal & everything was fine before they switched over from Origin to the new app. Hope that helps some of you 🙂

Same for me. Disabling antivirus (in my case avast) has solved this issue. Is Da:I or EA app considered a malware? Think origin had something similar going on when it started. Curious

I am extremely hesitant to disable anti-virus. I added both EA and DAI as allowed programs to my Avast, yet the ussue persists. Origin and DAI ran just fine before this EA app, Avast did not have any issue with them.
There must be something in the app itself since as soon as I try to launch the game it crashes back to the app itself. Same if I try to use the exe, it brings up the EA app before it crashes. That behavior suggests something forcing EA branded games go though the app no matter where you launch them from, and the app coding being full of bugs.
It is an absolute shame this has not been fixed for THREE MONTHS.
