My game keeps reloading itself.Whenever I load up a game, it will load properly for about 2 seconds and then will reload itself, and it gets stuck in this cycle of constantly reloading the save.Sometimes it will allow me to play for a few minutes before reloading the save so I have to start again. I am not sure what triggers it.It has only started doing this since the 5th September (I moved house, so didn't play for a week and it started doing this as soon as I started playing again).My DxDiag is as follows: http://hastebin.com/oxicemefax.texI have tried:Repairing the gameUninstalling and reinstallingLoading an earlier saveUpdating driversPlaying in windowed and windowed fullscreenDisabling mods (it doesn't like this as it says I am then playing with an older patch and wont let me load my save)Nothing seems to be working!I'm not sure if this is caused by the latest patch 10 as it seemed to work before it was released, but I don't know why that would suddenly cause my game to infinitely reload the save?

@SeuikuneAs a test, if you remove all your saves and start fresh do you still see this behaviour? If so try doing so with the mods removed. I obviously don't want to see all the saves wiped so please navigate to My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age Inquisition\Save and make a backup of everything, before deleting the folder. I'd suspect and issue with mods, but testing a fresh save may help point in the right direction. Thanks.

This is very strange. Can you try restarting your machine with a Clean Boot in case somehow a 3rd party program is involved?http://help.ea.com/uk/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

I see. If you try creating a new user profile with full admin access and try again, does it still happen? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7 If this has no effect (I suspect it won't but it should discount some potential issues) can you navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch and open Packages.mft with notepad? Did you modify this earlier to get your mods working? If so, what Version number is it set to? Does deleting all mods and changing it to the Version value to 11 let you load your saves again? And does this affect the main issue?

Hmmm, I'd try a malware scan in case something is interacting with the file interactions in a weird way.

I have just made a back-up of my saves, deleted them from the game and made a new character with no mods installed.I saved the game and then loaded the save and it is doing the same thing.

I performed a Clean Boot and ran Dragon Age Inquisition, the problem is still happening unfortunately.

Creating a new user profile does not resolve the issue.
The Patch version is set to 11, and I have deleted all mods but it is still reloading itself.

I uninstalled it again, uninstalled Origin, made a new character and only enabled one mod and it seems to be behaving for now.
I will post if it gets into the reloading cycle again.
Thank you for all of your help anyway!
EDIT: Nope, still endlessly reloading. Sigh.

I changed the Packages.mft version to 10 instead of 11 for both the official patch and the mod patch.
This seemed to work for a few hours but it has gone back to crashing and reloading itself.
