So Everytime I try to get into the game I either crashs before the loading screen or after I try to make my rook. Is anyone else having that issue. Everything is up-to-date on my end so i don't know whats going wrong.
At this point idgaf im taking my money back because its obviously the Game creators fault and not listenting to people.
I didn't have problems crashing until that update/patch. Now I either can't get it to load or it crashes just minutes into play... I have an rtx4090 and plenty of memory/storage, so it's def. not a me problem...
I am just leaving some notes here as this issue has seemed to get worse as opposed to better. When I first purchased Dragon Age: Veil guard, I had no issues, and it ran perfectly with no crashes. Recently, I was playing another game, Avowed which basically made me update my BIOS before playing it. (Not initially, but the 4th or 5th I launched it the other day, it came up with a message that I had to update my bios, and it would not play until after I did) Just yesterday, I launched Dragon Age to play my character for a bit and it just crashed repeatedly. I had originally purchased it at launch through EA. So, I tried several times, and it continued to crash. At first, I did a repair in EA, and that seemed to get me further, but the game crashed. I then completely uninstalled the game via windows and did the reinstall through EA. That also continued to crash. Mind you, I have all Windows updates, I am running Windows 11 and I have the most recent NVidia update as of March 18th, 2025. Just to be sure, I uninstalled and reinstalled several times onto different SSDs and NVMEs and nothing worked. Finally, since it was on sale on Steam and I wanted to play it on my Steam deck, I purchased the game on Steam and installed it. It seemed to be much snappier and loaded everything faster. However, I got thru the Character creation, and it just quit. As of right now, I cannot play the game on my PC, but I was able to play it for an hour on my Steam Deck with no issues. I have zero issues with any other game. I have a 14th Gen i7, a 4070TI Super and 64 GB of DDR5 RAM. I have experienced none of the degradation issues some have associated with the 13th and 14th gen. I monitor my CPU and GPU temps and Voltages closely and they have never been abnormal, ever. Again, every other game I run runs fine with no issues. It is only Dragon Age that does not run, and this is after trying both the EA version direct from the EA app and the Steam Version. Today or tomorrow, I will test it on my backup C which has an AMD 7600X and a 3080, but this is ridiculous. Something is off with this latest patch.
ive had the same problem, after patch 3 the game crashes in the companion selection and in cinematics or sometimes on launch. ive tried everything including a factory reset, nothing has worked.
Mine started crashing on Patch 2, I think. I had just place the Champion's Essence into the blighted door and it crashed. I now can't get into the area because I no longer have the essence and the door is back to its old self. Any ideas????
UPDATE!! as of like. I wanna say the 23rd, ? honestly i don't remember exact day, but I FIXED MY issue. It may be helpful for others! SO somehow i created an utter mess on my desktop between Win updates, drivers, Armoury Crate, and ALL my games. i forgot to mention that my crashes extended to every game on my computer above a certain size back to Skyrim. The key hint was Genshin Impact being unaffected save for repairing files.
I suspect its tied to EAapp/Steam if you're having issues? Possibly?
I'm using a i710700K CPU, 16GB Memory, and a RTX3060, and Plenty of storage, and none of these components are showing any signs of problems outside of Specifically my Games.
What I did, was clear Everything Affected, including launchers. rolled Win update back, drivers back, uninstalled Realtek Audio Driver and Armoury Crate, AND EA and Steam, and all associated games. I did not remove any game save data as that's all stored separately in my Documents, not my Programs on either of my two drives. After everything was cleared, I slowly started redoing the drives and updates, and tested it with Skyrim (Win update caused its crash) and then Veilguard because it took 3 hours to install lol but it WORKED. Runs great, no longer causes huge Memory or CPU spikes, all temps and usage is stable again.
I can't guarantee it will solve everything, but if you're contemplating a full OS reinstall, try this first. Good luck guys!
I used to be able to delete the shader_cache folder and it would work for a few hours. Doesn't work anymore. Game crashes when verifying shaders on launch, and deleting the folder prevents launch entirely.
This may not help you but I will share my story. After crashing since patch 2:
My system has now been stable for 2 days with ZERO game crashes or even artifacts, while playing on ULTRA.. I don't know what exactly fixed it but here are the 3 things I changed.
Just downloaded Veilguard last night and it's crashed on the initial loading screen every single time. PS5 is used but brand new to us, so it was already factory reset. Game and console software are up to date. Have tried restarting, reinstalling, rebuilding, logging out/in, booting offline, nothing has worked. Super bummed. EA, please fix this!! It's obviously an issue a lot of users are having!
I hadn't experienced any crashing issues until now. I can't "continue" or load any saved game without the game crashing.
I'm experiencing this as well. I had no issues until Patch 3, now my game crashes every time I try and load a save. I can't play at all now.
