Menu Freezing Solution (Quad Core)

Thanks a lot! Yep, apparentely it's a quad core thing.

So I've got this issue which is apparently toward quad cores, and then the black screen reset issue that is for the GTX 970. And yet... the biggest most popular upgrades for gaming computers right now are quad core and GTX 970.

Is there any update on when this will be fixed? It is incredibly annoying to have to manually disable a core every time I want to play this game.

I have the problem too, Black screen after starting the game, not even a menue, nothing.

I use a i7-4700Mq (quadcore) with 8GB DDR ram and a NVIDIA Geforce GT 750M (2GB GDR5 ram)

so it should be no problem. I really tried everything postet in various threads but nothing changed. I think it is a problem with the Nvidia or the Direct x

(I already reinstalled, updated and used the Microsoft runtime link, nothing worked).

I need more hints or a patch or an official statement. Should I go for the refund?

I found this solution, which sets the affinity to start the game, to work for me.

1. Edit Dragon Age Inquisition desktop icon properties

2. Change "Target:" to

    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C START DragonAgeInquisition /high /affinity 1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\DragonAgeInquisition.exe"

3. click Ok

Now try running the game. The game will start with affinity set to 1 cpu, but will change to all cpu cores after it launches. I was able to get past the "Click to Continue", when no other solution I've tried worked.

Here's a reference for the solution: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/37272/set-a-programs-affinity-in-windows-7-for-better-performance/

Thanks trying to help and the applied changed worked but there was no change, still going from boxed window to full screen but then black screen (freeze).

i made this but still not working for me :/

I am getting this issue in July of 2015.  What the hell ?  Game has been out for how long?  Why is this happening ?

Disabling didn't work for me, but i switched off the origin in game thingy and in task manager i changed to "high priority" now it doesn't lag 😊
