Re: Character Creation: Character is missing.

Well, I use laptop..... I faced the same problem..... I made a lot: restart, uninstalled/installed DA:I twice, upgraded everything that I can find and upgrade. Nothing! :catmad:


That was because my "dear" system Windows 8.1 DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE INTEL VIDEOCARD ON AMD AUTOMATICALLY, when I was playing DA:I. I don't know why, because Skyrim and other games switch to AMD without problems. If you're using laptop - try to switch them. Maybe it will help you.

    Sorry it took me so long to post back! It's been a busy week. But I finally got it to work. Like Sensayo said, it may be defaulted to play DA3 with the card that's below the requirements. All I had to to was switch it to the good one and it worked! Very simple fix, but it's easy to miss if you don't realize that your system isn't using the right card.

    Hopefully this is all the rest of you need to to as well so you don't need to spend tons of money for a new card! 🙂

    Hey, everyone! I know this is an old post, but maybe you can help.

    I'm having the same problem. My game starts normally, I pick a new game, chose my inquisitor race and class, and start it. After it loads for a while, the same thing happens (only this green fog appears). I see the sliders and so, but there is nothing on the right side where the inquisitor should be.

    I searched online and it seems my gpu handles the game very poorly, but I was able to find a couple of people who were able to play it. (There is this video on YouTube: http://youtu.be/-jGDmvcnvnM)

    I have a Intel HD graphics 3000
    Intel core i7 2670QM 2.2GHz
    6.1GB Ram
    Windows 10

    I know most of you will simply say I just can't run it, and that would be enough for me. But since there were other people who ran it, I was wondering if you could offer any help.

    With 6 GB ram you should be able to play it no problem. If I remember right the minimum required is 4.

    Were you able to fix the problem and if so, how?

    I wasn't :/ kinda accepted I wouldn't be able to play it, and just gave up. Even tho it seems I could play it with 6gb Ram, I still couldn't make it.

    The cinematic that should happen in the fade, once you start it, is just green fog as well, and then the character creation is the same. As far as I was able to find online, this has to do with graphics, that's why the game doesn't "show" anything (and I still don't know why, since I could find someone playing with very similar specs on YouTube).

    Anyway, sorry if I can't help, just thought I would answer anyway so you have something.

    If it won't run with all unneeded background processes closes and, on minimum settings, then it's not going to run on a GPU that doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Even if it does run on that, it's overworking that GPU and, will cause it to fail sooner than if you had not forced it to run a game it is not designed to run. A bit like asking a 4 cylinder compact care to haul 2000 lbs of cargo daily, sure it does it for a little while but, it breaks down a lot sooner because of it.

    I also have this issue with my game but I do not know what the problem is, I have a feeling it might have to do with windows 10. Can someone please help?
