Suddenly not allowed to play Dragon age Inquisition Offline

Hi there,

I'm currently on Xbox one and I know I can play this game offline because I've done it numerous times before. Now when I go offline and try to start the game offline it's telling me to check my connection because "To start Dragon Age Inquisition we need to connect to Xbox Live. Make sure your Xbox is online, then sign in and try again. (0x87de2714)" Which I know isn't bloody true since I've played offline before. I've went onto my Origin account and activated the Offline mode and it's made no difference, I'm still asked to go Online before I can start the game. 

Seriously does anyone have a solution to this/know what the hell is going on?

    There was an update recently, perhaps this had partially started and needs to complete. If you go online and try to launch, can you see if it attempts to update?

    I was thinking maybe the update had something to do with it aswell! When I went on I was told it needed to update, that was fine, I let it and the update completed so I think it was properly installed. The most frustrating thing is I know I can play this game offline without actually having to be online to start it but now I can't even do that.

    Can you first try soft-restarting the xbox by turning it off with the pad. It might need to run/install some system updates, you might see it working, with the front button glowing even after the shutdown. If this happens, let it run then when it finally shuts off fully, turn it back on and start the game again.  

    If this doesn't happen/this has no effect, try hard restarting the machine by holding the front button for a few seconds until it beeps and shuts down fully.

    Hi! Since the path before the last one I have only been able to play dragon age Inquisition in offline mode.

    But this latest patch have done so that I cant even do that. Now the game just want me to update it. (something it wont do no matter what I do) and then I put it in offline mode now it just wont start.

    So something in the patch just made things worse. Really sad to se that patches just creates more problems...

    So Is there anyway to solve this thing? I really want to play the games I buy. (I have the game on a PC)

    Patch 5 did have issues during download for some. Exit and restart Origin, making sure it is up to date. Once you log in, right click the game and choose REPAIR. See if that gets it going again.

  • What is the solution for Xbox One during an Xbox server outage? I was able to play offline with my 360 for this game, but it won't even start on the One without being connected.

    I had found that solution earlier - my Xbox one was already set as my home xbox, and I tried going offline, etc, but the system kept telling me I had to be connected to start up. As the servers are back up now it's not a current issue, but going forward, I'm seeking a solution that would allow me to play during a server outage/Internet connection issues. Thank you!
