OK, please leave it that way. The game should run without any compatibility settings.
Please create a new DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
There are still no DAi errors in the Windows error reporting section of the DxDiag.
Go to your Reliability monitor = Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time and copy and paste or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in the new Window > hit “ENTER” and look if it has entries for DAi or EA app or Steam.
If yes double click at the last entry for the game executable, copy the info to the clipboard, and save it to a text file.
If not:- 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 DAI:
- 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 there aren't any "DragonAgeInquisition.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files crated let us know.
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
I'll get you the response next Monday. I have to resolve a technical issue with my PC.
I'm having the same exact problem opening the game from the EAapp and idk what to do honestly.
i tried the fixes but nothing seems to work and i keep getting the message to "activate the game" on origin and it doesn't work
Hey, sorry for the delay.
I followed all the mentioned steps, but no crash reports so far. The game can not even start -> no crash report is being created.
- Make sure EA app and Steam are closed.
- Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
- Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
- Delete the "License" folder.
- Test
If that still don't helps, clean uninstall DAi with Revo Uninstaller as described befor > Restart your PC > Try to install the game from EA app.
just wanted to say thank you hero, you have done well. haha. I was having the same issue OP was, Following your final input i deleted the license folder and boom. Game starts again. thank you
Didn't work. I'm starting to suspect it could be a problem with my custom-built PC or Win 10 since I can play the game on my laptop Win 11.
Do you have DAi Dump files in the location I mentioned?
No dump DAi files in the mentioned location.
Only dlf file.
