This is occuring on my laptop which is an AMD A10-4600M APU (CPU+GPU). It runs pretty much any game fine that I throw at it, I have to lower settings sometimes but generally it runs stuff pretty fast including current titles like Battlefield 4 and so on. So it should be able to handle this game fine. I have even set all the graphics options to low or disabled, lowered resolution, installed latest AMD drivers, even tried the latest beta AMD drivers which specifically mention Dragon Age Inquisition optimizations. Game loads up fine but freezes (not black screen) after you click a button to start. I see extremely high CPU usage in Task Manager from the game (over 95%+). This is very unusual as my CPU usage is seldom ever that high even in other current triple A, high performance, demanding games. This is a quad core CPU at 2.3 GHz so it should be more than plenty to run the game and the graphics are pretty good on it as well. I've tried fresh installs of Windows 8.1 and also the Windows 10 Technical Preview (latest build as of today's date) and have the same results on the same machine. The same computer runs TItanfall fine, Battlefield 4 fine, and MMOs etc. just fine so this is not a hardware problem. It also runs them all stable and with pretty good performance. It's the game in this case. I *love* Dragon Age (the whole series) so I am not bashing it at all. I am excited and anxious to play! I just want to have this bug fixed asap so it doesn't do this anymore, so both me and others who are experiencing the problem can get into the game and have fun PLAYING the game! 🙂 BTW - no 3rd party antivirus running or anything else weird running, just the vanilla Windows "normal stuff" upon a fresh install, installing Origin, and the game itself. (Same deal tried on both Win 8.1 64-bit and Win 10 Technical Preview 64-bit) and both had the same results.
Please work towards a fix on this problem. Thanks guys!
