Dragon Age Inquisition stuck on start screen/Controller Issues

I purchased and downloaded Dragon Age Inquisition yesterday and opened it when it finished downloading. I wanted to use my xbox controller rather than keyboard and mouse so I went into settings and changed the control option to gamepad. For some reason it wasn't reading my controller so I closed the game and reopened it. For some reason now when I get to the screen that says "Press START" I am unable to continue despite pressing enter on my keyboard and start on my controller. The game is on the game pad control setting but for some reason it doesn't recgonize my controller despite it working for other games. I decided I should just try to use my keyboard and mouse so I uninstalled the game and redownloaded it. For some odd reason the game is still on the game pad control option and I can not get past the opening screen to play or change settings. How can I switch the controls back to keyboard and mouse without going into the in game settings?

  • 360 controller working fine before the patch. Now having the same issue and couldn't play the game cause the PC controls are just unbearable for me.

    What's the word? Still can't play with a controller that worked fine before the patch. Neither a wired 360 nor an Xbox One controller will work.

    Same issue. After that last patch my Dragon Age II Razer Controller no longer functions.

    Any ETA on fixing it back?

    Is anyone at EA reading these messages?

    Please let us know if you are able.

    Thanks,

    B

    Same exact issue. I do not have an Xbox 360 gamepad though but it is nonetheless ridiculous that I cannot manage to access the game at least with my keyboard and my mouse. I will try the Notepad ++ solution and see if it works. I really hope EA is doing a patch to fix this.

    i have gamepad 360 that i used in older versions of DA, it doesnt work, i paid for the game and the controller doesnt work? what the heck

  • people are using the xbox 360 controller that is compatible with all pc and does work on all game except dragons age 3.i can play other game with no problem until I try to play dragons age and it does not work

  • I'm four years late to the party. I don't know that anyone can even help me but it's wild to me that after all this time someone can still have issues with this. I had about 41 hours on the game when today I opened it to play and tried to press start like I always have, and it didn't work. I've been using a Logitech gamepad F310. There's nothing else plugged in, no other controller to be interfering. Was my controller just a ticking time bomb? Am I lucky it even worked for the first 41 hours since it's not xbox one or 360?? I'm honestly really new to the gaming scene in general, and bought the gamepad specifically because when I bought DA:I the keyboard controls sucked lol. I'll be really disappointed if this means I have to stop playing the game entirely. It's looking that way though.
