(Steam) Game won't Launch
I am trying to play DAI for the first time but the game won't launch, the "Play" button changes to "Stop" for a few seconds and opens and closes EA Desktop, then goes back to "Play" but nothing else happens, no game no launch screen, not even a black screen or a change in the task manager.
My PC is above the recommended specs, and I have tried every solution I could find online:
- All drivers are up to date and all Windows 11 Updates are installed.
- I've disabled my anti-virus (ESET) and made DAI an exclusion.
- Run the game and/or Steam and/or EA Desktop as an admin.
- Run in ALL compatibility modes (Vista, 7 and 8)
- Disabled full screen.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled both the game AND EA desktop
- Cleared EA Desktop cache.
- Verified game file integrity.
- Turned off all in-game overlays (EA Desktop, Steam and Nvidia)
- Tried running on a clean boot.
- Reinstalling the DirectX and VC Redist
Please can anyone help me please? I have just finished Dragon age Origins and Dragon Age II for the first time and I really want to play Inquisition now.
Hey, not sure how this works if it goes through Steam, but what worked for me what user Gahnja posted here:
