Re: DA:I won't launch in EA app
I have the same problem -- tried everything in this thread without any success.
Forum Discussion
Done and attached. Thank you!
There are no DA specific errors in your DxDiag.
Did the game started at the first time as you got the sync error?
No, it threw up an error and then returned to the EA App. Since then, it shows the launching dialog then returns to the App.
Lets see if the game starts at all.
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- In the new Window, type or copy and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) > Press ENTER
- Look if there are any "DragonAgeInquisition.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files in the "..Local\CrashDumps" folder.
- Zip 2 - 3 "DragonAgeInquisition.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at a free file hosting service like Dropbox or Onedrive.
- Post the link here.
If there aren't any dump files of DAO:
- Press the Windows key > Write: Command Prompt > Right click on "Command Prompt" in the search results > Run as administrator.
- Copy and paste reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD into the prompt Window > Press ENTER.
- Play the game until it crashes.
- After the game crashes, let all Windows crash dialogues finish.
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. > Type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) into the new window > Press ENTER.
- Zip 2 - 3 "DragonAgeInquisition.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at file hosting service like Dropbox or you can use the Onedrive "public" folder.
- Post the link here.
If you want to undo the automatic dump creation, use the command below in a elevated command prompt (As in point 1) reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f
So for the first part, there are no Crash dumps of any Dragon Age game. Secondly, it's not Dragon Age: Origins that's not starting, it's Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Thank you for your help. As I noted, the game doesn't even start so I can't play it at all.
