I take it you've all tried that, right? 😛Oh my god. Our prayers have been answered, this is clearly the solution. Wow.
So...how did you get the title of hero with suggestions like that? Do you seriously think we're all stupid?
Yikes.
Even if it was a bad joke, there's no need to be so offended by it.
I also think we're past the point where we can expect a solution here. Answer HQ is community driven. If the community hasn't figured out a workaround by now, it means we have to wait for an official solution. That also means this thread has become so pointless that we can expect irrelevant posts now and then.

Look, I understand that you may have been joking, but I have been waiting for a solution for this problem (which BOTH nvidia AND EA have promised will come and neither have said anything about mobile chipsets not being supported to me) since launch day, to be specific about three hours after launch on launch day.
It's not funny anymore. I spent over $70 for a game which doesn't do what it's supposed to, I've had to deal with geniuses coming in here and giving us the same 'solutions' over and over and over again without actually reading the problems or that their 'solutions' don't work. I am so frustrated at this point that I haven't picked up the game in over a month because I hate it so much for all the stress it's put me through.
There were no indications in the system requirements anywhere that laptops weren't supported for this game, and none of the techs, or the mod who came in here at he beginning, or anyone who could have come in here after all 100+ "I have an nvidia xxxM" had been posted said that the game doesn't support laptops.
If that's the case I am absolutely outraged because they essentially lied to me on the box, lied to me when I contacted tech support, lied to me when I made a thread here, and have continued to lie with their silence.
I'm not joking, or light hearted, or laughing this off. They have been dangling a fix in front of our faces for almost three months and if all they're going to say at the end of the day is "lul well we didn't support laptops to begin with sry!" I am never buying another EA game again.

The "no laptop support" is not official at this point. It's just that the system requirements can be clearer on this. They do mention the need of a graphics card, which mobile chipsets aren't, but as I said, that's up for debate. EA support wasn't sure of it themselves when they said mobile GPUs "may" not be supported.
I don't see why they shouldn't, however. I think BioWare made a big mistake when they made the system requirements so vague. They could have at least given a list of supported GPUs, as they did for previous games.
So... Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes came out, and the system requirements for that game were published without mentioning laptop chipsets and surprisingly, the game runs flawlessly on my laptop (870M) 60FPS\1080p lowering just a couple of settings from Extra High to High.
It's like they decided to ship a game that's working on all platforms! Crazy, right?
I don't dig the "Laptops are not supported, f*** y'all" approach. I know you're not one of the developers or connected to EA directly, but you trying to dismiss us saying these thing not only discourages me from buying EA products or using Origin, but from asking questions in forums like these.
It's clear that they don't give a * about laptop users or care for them, and at this point it's just saddens me to see these "Ha Ha, u got laptaps, u suck, hurr di hurr" BS.
And Nvidia is to blame as well - creating great mobile chipsets without backing them with support (come on, the 980M is stronger than most desktop cards).
My next PC will definitely won't be a laptop.
Also - Nado, did you get any response from EA on that matter?
they only think about consoles, it was pretty obvious once you launch a game and check interface and controls. they care about sales from 10 y-o with their PS. sad but true, From Pc developers to Pc gamers, my *.
I have a GTX 980m, believe me it is more powerful than your average desktop GPU (like 960). This has nothing to do with the power of graphics card, it has everything to do with 3K and 4K resolutions. There is still not enough libraries with these resolutions. There is an issue with FrostBite with higher resolution, BF definitely got rid of it because DICE has the expertise to figure it out (yes earlier on similar things happened, many other engines also have problem scaling up, and for some reason you cannot turn off scaling, I bet iGPU that is driving the display is the problem, even when dGPU is running the application, it needs to route the frame to the iGPU first I believe), on the other hand DA, sadly seems like they will never figure it out.. What I am sad is that I finished the game on a 765m, with average graphics, and was so looking forward to playing it again on max settings, I guess in another life... ☹️
Plain stupid, right? Mah friend owns exactly same laptop like me(we bought same ones together, asus with 850m and gpuboost technology). He happens to love shooters tho. Crysis 3, Metro, all of these things he runs on high- some ultra with solid 50-60 fps. I myself have solid 60 fps in WoW in absolute max settings. And now lets check DAI - barely 30 fps at low-medium, and I get like 40 when i put FULL LOW - even with that * resolution scaling option which makes your image look like 90x mario.
