Re: [EA app] Dragon Age II Running as Background Process

Restart your PC. (A real restart, not just shut down and start again.)
Make sure that your games run on the NVIDIA GPU and not on the Intel GPU.

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel > 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings.
Go to the ab "Program Settings" Tab > Search for "DAO" in the first drop down menu.
Go to: "Select the preferred graphics processor for this program" > Select the NVIDIA High Performance Graphicprocessor > Apply.

If this setting is missing look at this guide.

@jupparo

There is a VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED error in your DxDiag:

Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all NVIDIA Graphic driver components.

Follow the manual again to cleanly uninstall all Intel Graphic driver components.

Install the intel graphic driver

Install the NVIDIA graphic driver.

Test.
