Re: Dragon Age Inquisition crashes on startup

I tried your suggestion since I'm having a similar issue, but it didn't work. I have tried turning off my shields and even that didn't work. Is there any other suggestions you could think of?

Thank you.

  • Uninstall the PoS a/v you're using and get one that doesn't cause this sort of problem.

    If you have put in exceptions for either Avast or AVG, have tried disabling it, and if you have tried a clean boot of your machine and it still doesn't work, then we need more info on what is going on.

    Post a DxDiag file here per the sticky at the top of this forum on how to post.  Post exactly what it is doing, anything you have done, and anything else you think might be relevant.  Without more info though, we can only guess.  But as I have stated before....99% of the time if the game starts for a second, goes blackscreen then closes, it is Anti-virus issues, and you simply haven't set things correctly to ignore Origin, DAI, and DAI saves folder....

    I have gotten a brand new desktop and since I play DAI daily,and am not a fan of CTD,I'm wondering if you would know of any a/v that won't cause DAI to CTD,like Avast and AVG. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

    I think Windows Defender and MalwareBytes cause no issues. I still use Avast, but with exceptions for the Origin and Dragon Age folders.

    @txchimama BitDefender also has no issues in my experience. I use the free version, far less annoying than my previous AV (paid version of AVG, felt more like adware with all the 'buy things!' nagging).

    First thing you should try is deleting the Patch_ModManagerMerge folder located at:

    Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch_ModManagerMerge

    In my case that folder somehow got corrupted and caused the game to crash. When I deleted the entire folder and ran DAI Mod Manager again it fixed the game crash issue.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Dragon Age: Inquisition, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
