Dragon Age Inquisition suddenly can't launch

So today i wanted to play DAI and when i launched the game from origin there was no response.After i launched it 5 times it showed me a message,that there is a problem and we try to solve it bla bla bla.This happened just today ,yesterday game would run perfectly.I think when i opened origin ,dragon age inquisition had an update and that may have caused the problem but idk why and if thats true.If anyone has same problem pls reply

MOD EDIT: Since so many people seem to be looking at this thread for solutions (although there is a sticky at the top of this board), I thought I'd add that the most common cause for the current issue of the game briefly opening a black window then going straight back to desktop is caused by AV programs (primarily AVG and Avast). Adding exceptions for the game, Origin and the game folder within your User folder in your AV program fixes the issue for most people. Please try this first.

Same problem. Tried the 'repair' function from Origin, but it didn't work.

Same deal for me, downloaded the latest Origin update and now the game won't start. Worked fine yesterday.

Same thing here,
I've played DA:I since Launch, soon 1 week and no problem...
Today, Origin make an update and cant launch the game anymore....
It's really annoying!
We cant play without Origin, okay ( i'll dont talk about what i think about this ), but at least, make sure to let the players play games they bought!

two things to try here; completely close Origin and restart it -no pinned to taskbar etc. relog in and see if it kickstarts it.
secondly, uninstall Origin using control panel then run the 'Origin setup' from the first DVD it will report old version and download a 93+mb version, once it's installed relog in and see if that sorts it?
The first part above worked for me a complete restart of Origin stuck with an update solved it.
The second way gives you a complete fresh install to iradicate any issues you may have if the first part doesn't work.

Same thing, was it caused by Origin update? (as soon as I hit automatically update button it didn't launch anymore)

Found the solution on another topic.
1 ) Just right click the game on Origin
2 ) "Property"
3 ) Check the box "Disable Origin for this game"
4 ) Launch and play
As Zinodin said : "No achievements, probably, but I consider playing the game without Origin the biggest achievement."
Thanks for the Origin update, it was nicely tested. Good luck to all the community manager (i mean it), this update will make a lot of people angry, just like me.
Another official solution.
