A few points. First, you said you had a very 'mainstream' computer. That does not give us specs, and is why I asked for the DxDiag. Secondly, I've been playing computer games for going on 25 years now. So, yes, I do know what a finished product looks like. Third, I AM a player, just like you are. Lastly, your DxDiag lists a bunch of errors trying to launch Dragon Age. Do you have AVG installed? Because your specs seem fine, but AVG has known issues with Inquisition. Again, this would have nothing to do with EA or a 'finished product'. If you have AVG, add Dragon Age: Inquisition to the exceptions list or dump it and get something like Bitdefender or Avast.
After my last post. I did another hard uninstall, reinstall. Then today getting back onto it. Again same issues. I hit launch, Activation EA UI in manager bar. No game. So the game runs, but some reason doesn't fully launch. I've conducted a "verify" option and no issues... I tried running it in Window 8 and with Admin. I get a icon of it running in the taskbar. So at this point I am at a lose. This same issue occurs with The Division. I am wondering if there is a similar program such as Direct X accessed that would point to this. Also I uninstalled AVG. Bogged my computer down. Plus I do not access a lot of those "questionable" sites on my gaming rig.
How did you update your graphics driver? Did you install it on top of the previously installed one, or did you perform a clean installation by wiping your current driver with DDU?
Also, is your GPU overclocked?
I see that you uninstalled AVG. So, which anti-virus do you have? This is out of pure curiosity.
