Re: Dragon Age Inquisition suddenly can't launch
Im actually working my way up the support chain. I was moved to T2 lasnight. Working with a Shane there currently... I can post the troubleshooting steps Ive done so far with them... might help...
They even had me create a new admin account and run the program as that account... no joy. I suggest getting ahold of the chat support after doing all this and letting themm know what you have done. Who knows, maybe one of us can get a fix for the rest of us.....
- Please do unplug all USB devices (aside from the mouse and keyboard) and try the game again.
- Disable the Origin In-Game Overlay (IGO):
