Dragon Age Inquisition won't start on PS4

This is very frustrating.  I spent $70 on something taking up space on my HD and it doesn't even open.  When I try to start the game on my PS4 I receive the following:  "An error has occurred in the following application.  (CE-34878-0) Dragon Age:  Inquisition.  Is this going to be fixed or do I need to get my money back?  There seems to be a lot of issues with the game functioning properly throughout the community.  It's a shame since this looks like it could be a great game.

    I just wanted to put something online since so many people seem to have this issue and there seems to be no solution. I bought Dragon Age Inquisition for my PS4 through the PlayStation network. I had an issue where after it was ready to play if I started the game with my system connected to the internet, the game would not play. All I would get was a black screen. Also multiplayer was grayed out and had a red error message that said it would not be available until the full game was downloaded. When I looked at the game information for the download it still had about 35 of 48 GB to go before it was fully downloaded, so I put the PS4 in rest mode until it finished. When it finished multiplayer was no longer grayed out. All this time the single player campaign would start if I turn off the network connection. But I wanted the online features of the game as well as multiplayer to work.

    At this point I was getting irritated because I had reached out to EA, checked all the boards and nobody had a clear solution. Finally after 3 days I was able to get EA to call me! Teresa a customer service agent called me and helped me in as little as 15mins! (I don't have any other way to give her 5 stars) What you need to do to resolve this issue is go to help.ea.com. From there click on the sign up link at the top of the page. Create a EA account there. After you are logged in sign out. Then go back and click the Log In link. At the lower portion of the window that pops up you will see an option to log in with your PSN account, click that. First you will input your email and password for your PSN account. Next it will prompt you for your email and password that you used to set up your EA account. Once you are logged in to your EA account it should say that your PSN account and EA account have been linked. Now restart you Dragon Age Inquisition game and everything should work.

    I Hope this helps everyone in the future!

    No problem. I went through all the other things that people suggested and nothing worked so when I actually found the solution I had to share.
  • Great! At the start of the new year 2023 something was amiss with the DA servers I guess - the game cannot handle this, so after the first 'Options' button hit at startup, the screen just goes dark. Shutting the internet connection down is apparently something the startup menu CAN handle. Saved me a lot of progress (only have the main game installled, add-ons didn''t fit) 

  • Hello!
    I'll try asking here because I really don't know what to do.  😢 Yesterday I dowloaded Dragon Age inquisition Game of the Year edition, with all the downloadable contents, on a PS4 Pro (secondhanded but initialised).
    Be it with all the DLCs downloaded or with just the basic game, nothing changes in the end:
    I start the game -> there's the title with the music, where it says "Press Options button" -> I press it and the sentence '' Connecting to EA server" appears. -> Few seconds after that, a pop up notification that says ''gameplay recording paused because you entered blocked scene" appears on the upper left of the screen and everything goes black. (but the music still plays in the background)
    If I stop the internet connection, I can play offline but I really want to connet the account to Dragon Age Keep so that I can go on with the story I played on DA:O and DA II.
    I 've found some instructions in other threads created by peope who had similar problems and I tried to disconnect and reconnect the wifi, to use a hostpspot, tu use the LAN cable.. I also quicly initialised the PS4... but nothing, the problem still stands.
    Could someone please tell me what I could do? I'm really sad about not being able to play this beatiful game on PS4 as it deserves to be played! 

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help!  😳

    In the meanwhile, have a nice day everyone!
