No Opening Splash Screen, Only Music, on MacBook Pro

I just installed DO:Origins on Late 2014 MacBook Pro (2.5GHz i7, 16GB) running OS X 10.9.5. Software was authorized and the panel to go to website, support, resore, play appeared. Downloaded version 1.05 and installed.

Upon clicking on Play, icon sits on Dock and lilting celtic-ish background music can be heard. There is no video. System is running and the fan begins to run, so the graphics chip is being taxed. There is nothing to see. When I command all windows be placed on the screen, a blue-ish panel appears to represent DO appears. Clicking on it does not put it on the main display.

Note: I see a brief splash screen, maybe 10 seconds, and there are some noises: animal growls, metallic sounds of a sword slash. The music is more orchestral with occasional singing.

No other applications are running. I have attempted to run program after a fresh reboot and problem remains.

Please help - I am looking forward to playing the game.

Kind regards,

Paul

I'm running into the same problem. Except I'm on Yosemite Beta 4.

Please post more of your system specifications. More specifically the graphics hardware.

Many of these Macbook Pros from 2014 have Intel graphics, which are unsupported for this game.

When I installed, I was attached to a Dell 24" display. When I posted my first message, I was travelling and using the display on the MacBook. I just returned from traveling and plugged into the Dell display. The application came up with all of the graphics displayed. Do they install custom animation and graphics elements based on the platform originally installed on?

I had the same problem and managed to fix it. You need to open up the DragonAge.ini file, which is in "~/Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/Settings/"
Then find the lines for "ResolutionWidth" and "ResolutionHeight". The default values for each are what's screwing things up. I changed the width to 1680 and the height to 1050, saved the file, and launched the game, and it worked.
