Patch made performance MUCH worse
Prior to today's patch, the hitching was annoying, but the game was playable. Now, the game randomly pauses for about 3 seconds every few seconds. It does this at the title screen, while playing, i...

So after 2 days of not being able to play, I finally got the game up and running again. The solution was easy for me, but you must have a backup download of the game stored somewhere prior to the patch.
1) I got my backup done several days before installing the patch (thank god ugh) and forgot about it until now.
2) I uninstalled the game, went to the Application Settings in Origin to disable Origin Helper (in the Advanced tab) and uncheck the box "Automatically keep my games up to date" (in the General tab).
3) Downloaded the game again and let it run for a bit to establish the folder in Origin Games.
4) C&p my backup to that folder.
5) Origin told me there was an update available and I laughed in its face.
6) Launched game, played like normal.
can you specify what exactly you copied and pasted?
Sorry it probably sounds a bit confusing. I copied everything in the backup folder. Thing is, my desktop's wifi adapter is **bleep** so I had to download the game completely on my laptop and then transfer the whole Dragon Age Inquisition game folder to my desktop. After that, I copied and pasted the game folder in my desktop to a portable hard drive for safekeeping. All of this happened before the patch installation, that's why I have 2 old copies of the whole game folder.
Do you happen to have an old copy as well? Just remember that after you uninstall the game on your computer, the Dragon Age Inquisition folder will be automatically deleted. Important: you have to go to application settings in Origin and uncheck the "automatically update your games" box. After that, just let Origin download a few MBs of the game so it can create the game directory, then close down Origin, then overwrite everything in the new game directory with the contents in your backup folder. When you run Origin again, the download will resume and shoot up all the way to 100%, or possibly just download a few more MBs. Play like usual, and ignore the update.
