Re: How to find the patch/version you're using of DA:I

Thanks for this post, I needed to find this information.

But surely this information should be available from within the game itself.

How hard would it be to have a Show Version option on the game startup menu

That's Bioware for you....

Just to close things out, the last patch for DA: Inquisition was Patch 11, released for PCs on Oct 15, 2015.

It will display as: <gameVersion version="1.0.0.12"/>

in the above referenced file.

(The PC-only Hotfix v1.0.0.3 was issued without a corresponding Patch number, hence the "one-higher than the patch number" version number.)

YES BUT it still don't resolve the issue with why my saved games and why they will not load yes I used mods but now I cant even load the save game stupid patch thing keeps coming up but everything is updated I did all I was asked by the adviser and still my saved games won't load my dragon age inquisition will play a new game but I can not load my saved game was doing the boss and the dlcs before I did trespasser it worked fine two days ago now it won't even work none of the saves will load I did everything I spoke to three advisers and everything I did still did not resolve this issue its really irritating  I uninstall reinstall update repair same issue please someone help please its driving me bonkers

Some mods change patch number in saves.  You have to go into a file and edit the patch number to get it to work.  You can Google this, or wait until I or someone else can get back to you on how to do this. 

@THESCARREDONES;

(This has been posted many, many places. Google is your friend...)

File:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch\package.mft

1.  Open with any ASCII text editor.

2.  Increment the "version" number by one.

3.  Try to load your saved game.

4.  Rinse/Repeat until the save loads.

Let us know how you get on.

We are now on patch 12. In the package.mft it is listed as: Version 12. I used your method of changing numbers. Trying to change back is the problem. I wanted to start a new game, but I needed to load a current after win saved game. It had the higher version number. So I changed the version number higher again to load that game. The problem is that DAI takes you right in to a new game. I tried changing the numbers back while playing the game, but the game remembers the original. Since I started the game yesterday, I have 25 saves. I can't load any of them.

I have changed my player from male to female. As far as I know, you have to do a full playthrough with the new character before you can save it in Dragon Keep. I completed the playthrough yesterday, playing almost the entire game with my game version up to 13. With the new game started, I played all last night and never had to load a game. I went to sleep this morning and when I woke up and tried to play the game, I get the error "The Save Data Was Created With Newest Version of Game ... ." So now I am trying to find the correct variable in the save game to change so that I can play the game again with the correct version numbers.

If anybody knows what and where the variables within the saved game are and would post them here, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

@dwharper34;  Well, no.  There is no such thing as "Patch 12".

Patch 11 was the last patch released.

The game version number (on PC, and PC only) is 12 because there was a hotfix for the PC between Patch 2 and Patch 3.

I have a PC. Version 12 is what it was before I ran into the problem above. Since that game, I have changed it to Version 12, then started a new game. I have had no more problems and it still remains a version 12. Thanks for your help!
