Game Breaking Bugs

Hello, World

So I've been playing DA:I lately and recently got several disturbing bugs:

1) Suddenly I can't travel anywhere. I'm stuck at the Storm Coast and when I try to travel to Skyhold (or literally anywhere else) I get either loading screen and "You have lost connection" message in the main menu or just a CTD. 38 hours in the game so I'd like not to start over again.

2) My character is a Rogue. When I try shooting with a bow, arrow fly down after going for several meters from me. I've been reading about people having that bug while having Kitty's Collar equipped but I've never found it yet.

3) First 5 to 10 normal attacks (swings) while dual wielding or attacks with Thousand Cuts do 1 damage, then start to do normal. That glitch doesn't occur with companions, only controlled character.

4) I can't start the game with EA app offline. Ever.

I own the game on Steam if that matters. Completed it several times before also.

I play with several mods but no cheats/trainers.

I've tried every known solution (1&4 - drivers, graphics, settings, reinstalling the game and apps etc., 2&3 - equipping/unequipping everything, destroying equipment, forging new etc.) I found in the web but to no avail. Though I love this game too much to just leave it be so help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

  • Have you ever applied a fix to unlock framerates in cutscenes? If you set it to a high framerate (like 120+), there can sometimes be odd behavior with weapon attacks. I've seen it with staff attacks, but maybe bow attacks are affected as well. This can also cause a bug where you get stuck in loading screens, though I haven't seen that happen when going to Skyhold.

    When you reinstalled the game, does that mean you also tried playing without your mods?

  • Well, yes, I tried disabling mods, re-installing the game and EA  App. Still, nothing.

    Thanks, I'll try the framerate solution out. Tho as far as I recall I disabled the framerate limit at all.

    One thing you could also try is to delete your config file. Even if you uninstall the game, the config file will stay as is. If there's a setting in your config file that causes this, that would explain why a reinstallation didn't fix it.

    The file is at Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save and is called ProfileOptions_profile. Deleting it will force the game to make a fresh one.

  • Hey, tried the FPS fix and deleted config file you marked - still all the same. The only issue I can possibly think of: last times I played (and completed) Inquisition it was Origin not EA Desktop and it would let me playing without starting it, just with my Steam on. Maybe the app is causing some issues?

    Thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it.

    UPD: Loaded a previous save, before Storm Coast. Went to Crestwood instead. Everything went normal and I could go back to Skyhold until I tried to enter Flooded Caves. Then the loading screen, the black one with the Inquisition icon bottom right and... poof... "You lost connection..."

    @SubohmCat Wanted to follow up with you on your game. When you save your game, do you save over the same save file, or do you save different save slots?

    That disconnection error can happen for a few reasons, typically it is just a desync but "if" your save became corrupted, it can cause issues especially if you have mods on there.
