EA/Bioware I'm sorry but our relationship is over. The state in which the PC version was released to public, and the issues that remain (and are also unaddressed) is completely unaccaptable. frankly, you should be ashamed. Can't say that I or anyone would expect anything better from EA but it is sad to see Bioware, a once great developer, reduced to their level.
Let me start by saying I literally counted my pennies saving for this game. Just before release I'd lost my cushy job in IT.. had to take a low wage temp position.. and it took months for me to save away to purchase DA Inquisition. Upon installing the game I was just flummoxed and appauled at the broken PC controles. Really the game was unplayable at launch.
While the interface issues have been largly remedied the performance problems have not. I'm a trained engineer; my machine that I'd built a few years back has passed all relevant stress tests. No other games have any issues that are comparable to those found in this game. Multiple playthroughs of crysis and other intensive games never run into any trouble. Yet this game randomly crashes in places like redcliff for no apparent reason whatsoever. Autosaves get corrupted and hours of progress is lost. Despite this being reported by a large number of players (with various PC setups) you say.. nothing.
Like many I've been patient because the game has so much potential. The storywriters, art directors and those in change of the RPG mechanics.. all did their jobs spectacularly. But the deafening silence regarding the technical issues with the game is completely unacceptable. It took weeks after release for you to produce a game that could be considered "playable" on the PC. And now that you've achieved that you're content enough to wash your hands clean of the issues that remain.
I know you're laughing all the way to the bank but you won't see another hard earned dollar for me no matter what you release. I swear it on the makers stone.
Just for other people.
I've used the Nvidia GeForce Experience to optimize Dragon Age Inquisition.
In particular, I've observed that the configuration "full screen" or "windowed" was not specified in my current configuration (before I've applied the "optimized setting").
And it rang a bell as it is said at the beginning of the thread that :
DirextX Errors and Crashes Because of the misallocation of resources, it is suspected that the crashes (with nvidia gpus) is being caused by timeouts. Basically what is happening is that the Origin App and the Windows Operating system, are arguing with eachother, over who is in control of the game, and this is what causes the dxgi_device hung_ error... and why the graphics card drivers are re-enabled by windows once you get out of the game and close it down.
And that some people said that playing in windowed mode solved that problem.
So, I've applied the "optimized setting" of Nvidia Geforce Experience which force the "full screen" mode.
And since then, I've played several hour without encountering the dwgi_device_hung errror.
And it also solved the troubled I had of clippiring game. (problem which appeared few before the the hung error started).
So...for thoses who has nvidia graphic card, please try the Nvidia GeForce Experience optimized setting and let know here if it solved your trouble too.
If so, it would give a hint for EA to fix their game.

The geforce experience optimized setting is probably fine, however -
The Nvidia Shield streaming software is known to severely effect performance,
and increase stuttering during cutscenes and gameplay.
If you have already optimized your game settings with Nvidia Geforce Experience,
Then I would suggest uninstalling it, before it negatively impacts your game's or system's performance.
