I went back about 18 hours before the glitch, so I am starting from there, trying to remember what I have not done.
I've never used the origin application before, so I didn't know there was a repair option, I naturally go to the control panel and do it there.
So now I have a new problem the saved game thinks I have a different version of the game then I do and I am getting really irritated, I have now gone 86 hours into the game, and I am not willing to start from the beginning because of a glitch which ruined my game, I am very angry and I am trying not to loose my temper, but I when I go to check for updates it's telling me I have the latest version, and I have the black emporium installed, and all my mods, so I don't know what else I can do.
perhaps delete it and get a refund for a useless save game structure... I don't really know at this stage...
@MikelLoki76 You'll have to forgive us when it comes to the repair option, being around these boards so much it's easy to forget that not everyone is familiar with Origin.
As for the different game version thing, that usually happens if you try to load a save using a lower patch version than the game was when you saved it. The most common cause of this is if you remove your mod folder (as it raises the patch number for the game by 1, so the game uses the mod folder instead of its own patch folder, if that makes any sense). Did you recently do a new mod merge, or remove your mod folder for any reason? It also may be related to you having uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
If you have mods installed, try going to your game install folder (by default C > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > Dragon Age Inquisition), go to the Update folder, then the mod folder (by default it gets named Patch_ModManagerMerge), open package.mft using notepad and increase the number next to version by one, see if that fixes it. Helpful to keep a note of what the version number in that file is, there are certain places in the game where you may need to remove your mod folder (DLC areas, especially), and you'll have to set the version in your patch folder to match so you can load your save. Which brings me to the other possibility, if you had mods installed and have removed them, go to the Update folder, then the Patch folder, and increase the version number in that package.mft file by one instead. The joys of modding with this game. 😛
If that doesn't help, could you please post a screenshot of the error you're getting? Might help us figure out what's happening.
Just so everyone knows...I know this game will run on a potato. lol
When my PC burned up,I played on my spare while waiting for parts.
An Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM and an old GPU I got in 1995. Geforce 3400GT I think?
But anywho...yep...saves from an older patch after a reinstall and update will get hung out to dry.
You'll probably just want to use a save editor to manually bring your game back to where you were and sorry...I don't know of a good one right off hand...I hope one of the other guys does.
I have upgraded my computer, and still get the same thing.
