Dragon Age: Inquisition Not Launching AT ALL
Yo EA! Hi yes nice to talk to you guys! Why can't I play this game I have bought from you guys four separate times? Xbox360, Xbox One, Pc Origin, Pc Steam. It's super not annoying or anything that th...

Same here.
Even lost an entire afternoon trying to troubleshoot the issue (good thing I work from home and don't have kids, right?) That's a 6+ hours electricity bill EA certainly won't pay. F**k, I'm such a mark... Yesterday the game only refused to launch. Today it even refuses to download... (yeah, I'm on my third re-install)
I've had the game since 2014. First time I've had any issue with it. My best guess is, it has to do with encryption. The game is old and has received no new content for several years. So maybe Uncle Scrooge updated their anti-piracy programs and forgot old titles like DAI in the process. Now we've got to wait until all the other major profit leaks have been resolved... You're right, that's unfair of me to say. After all, the Disney Empire behind EA is a struggling start-up starving for cash, so it stands to reason that they can't adress every single issue that creeps up their products every now and then. We're lucky they're even still in the business!! the measley beggars...
What's next? Forcing me to re-buy DAI, like Steam wanted me to re-buy my childhood game after Windows 10?
Ever heard about the shotgun blues?
PS: I'm spamming the "report error" button on the app until the issue is fixed.
Spamming the error report button in brilliant; I shall do it repeately tonight and then tomorrow and so on. I guess I can dedicate 30 minutes of my evening time to error reports, I have nothing else to do right? /sarcasm I tried a lot of suggestions, but I am adamant about *not* disabling my virus blocker just to relaunch a friggin' game. This is not worth the price of exposing my system to vulnerabilities. EA should fix their own app, this is neither the game's, not our system's fault.
I only use Windows security and a couple other apps that don't run in the background so I haven't had to disable any of them. I had to reinstall the game after the EA App switch.
User Ghanja had a solution that worked for me: install DAI not in the default directory, but in the directory of the EA App, for example: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Games\
The game works today!
After jumping so many hurdles...
Was is the full PC dust up? The disconect-reconnect of all hardware? (GPU, RAM, disks... everything) Uninstalling a manufacturer's app for my drives? Re-installing the base game alone, and then all the DLCs, one by one, manually, instead of letting the EA app do its thing? Putting on my Steam libraries on other drives? The fact that I really had to go loud and nasty? (yeah, I DID spam that error button each time the app failed to do something) The Windows updates that rolled up yesterday?
I have NO clue.
At some point, the EA app was even blocking access to my Internet provider's site... So my paranoid self is even thinking cyber-warfare now.
I wish I could be of more help, or at least, I wish I knew who to thank for that "miraculous recovery".
Anyway, my game is working fine - for now (knocking on wood for it to go on).
Nope, still doing the same sh*t. This is absolutely criminal and I simply don't understand why no one owns up to what is happening here. Game launches then crashes to desktop, refuses to launch either via EA platform or exe file.
I am running out of cusswords.
