Dragon age inquisition has all ways been running fantastic ever since i've had the game, recently a mandatory update has caused flickering in the lighting, wherever there is torches or fire in the background ,the whole screen flickers in rhythm with the fire light reflections. Nvidia 970 gtx, latest358.50 driver.
Apparently this is an issue with the recent Nvidia driver for your card. Is it possible for you to roll back your driver? Others with this issue have found that rolling back their drivers has fixed this issue. 🙂 (If you're unsure how to roll back drivers, I'd suggest going to Nvidia support).
'Seasy. Just use the Control Panel.

You can also try turning off MSAA in the Inquisition Graphics options. That fixed it for me. Postprocessing AA isn't as nice, but you can use it instead.
Might want to try this first, since it's a little less drastic than rolling back your drivers (as easy as that is).
I thought that might be the issue. Thing is, I dont have a problem with other games with new driver. So what am I supposed to do.. keep that previous driver in effect forthe sole purpous to play this game alone? Never update ever ever again,because of dragon age? Seriously, this is not a fix but a temporary workaround. EA needs to fix their game to correspondingly work with the latest updates for the hardware that runs their game!
thats acually was my first thought as well, but then why should I have to kill all the lighting effects, to play? nice workaround but, doesnt change the problem

It's not EA's fault (wow, I bet that doesn't get said very often 😛 ) that a driver released by Nvidia a year after the game was released has issues with the game. If you want to take the issue up with anyone, it should be Nvidia- their driver should work with a game that's a year old, that had no issues with previous drivers and has no issues with AMD cards or other Nvidia cards (I have an older Nvidia card, no issues).
I imagine it won't be long before Nvidia release a new driver that corrects the issue, anyhow. In the meantime, you can change the settings as @BadKen suggested, roll back the driver, or play a different game.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. A year ago (November 2014) Nvidia released a driver that broke Dragon Age II's DX11 renderer. I don't know the current state of Geforce compatibility, but the issue was still reported here as late as August 2015.
I currently don't have a PC to test this on (my gaming PC has a Radeon R9 390), so I don't know if that has been fixed by now.

For me personally, if the choice is between FXAA or no AA at all, I'd pick the latter. FXAA has no performance cost, but it's also very ugly. It removes jaggies by making the entire screen blurry.
Community ManagerGreat to hear that you got it sorted @venom58239.
