If you're on PC and running into launch issues, can we give the following a check and try?
- Do you have the latest Windows updates and Graphics drivers?
- Have you checked your Anti-virus (or other security software)?
- Are you running any third-party programs or overlays in the background?
- Is your system Date/Time correct, or could you be running a VPN?
- Are you using any mods? (if so remove them, clean install your game, and test on a fresh save)
If you've checked the above and continue running into an issue playing Dragon Age, you may need to give the following a shot (like an arrow shot... get it!)
- Run the System File Checker tool, then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Default your PC to the dedicated Graphics card: Troubleshooting Graphics issues
- If an option is available, try capping your frame rate. You can also enable Vertical Sync (V-Sync) to match your frame rate to your display’s refresh rate.
- To repair the game files in the EA app, go to the Library and find your game. Click the Manage icon, then click Repair.
- Clear EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
- Check if any background applications are stopping the EA app or your game.
- Perform a clean boot of your PC to disable background tasks that may interfere with your game.
- Reinstall your game and potentially your PC client.
