Been having this issue for over a week. What finally got it to work today was copying my DAI folder to the same directory as the EA App (App was in Program Files while the game was in Program Files x86). Hopefully it'll work for you!
@Coraychi I tried this and the EA app no longer recognized the game at all. It was still in my library, but it wanted me to redownload it because it thought it now belonged to another user.
@leiascully42 That's a shame, I'm sorry it didn't work. ☹️
When you moved it, did you move the "Origin Games" folder as well, and did you move to Program Files, or to Electronic Arts?
I moved only my DAI folder over to Program Files, and it didn't require me to redownload. Sorry for asking so many questions, I just wanna be sure we're on the same page in case there's some way we can get it working for you.
Also, I believe when I launched it, I launched it from the .exe in the Program Files > Dragon Age Inquisition file, as opposed to clicking play in the EA App. Maybe you could give that a try and see if it's any different?
EDIT: I also copied the DAI folder rather than moving it, so it's now in two locations. Maybe that's where the issue is arising. The installation location for DAI hasn't changed in my EA App, so maybe yours is still looking in the previous location for the files.EDIT 2: Hah, well, it was working for a little bit anyway. I got to sit down and play about ten minutes before this stopped working for me as well ... if it ends up working for you, that'd be great, but if not then it looks like we're in the same boat again. ☹️
- @Coraychi I moved only the DAI folder. I've tried launching from the .exe, from the EA app, and from FrostyMod. It does the same thing every time - opens the game window to a blank black screen which disappears after about 10 seconds. Sometimes I get as far as loading the fancy cursor before it blinks out again. Fortunately, it didn't seem to actually make me redownload it, because after I clicked download, it was ready immediately (I had also moved it back by then, and I did a repair the other day so that might have also had an effect). I guess I could try copying it instead.

Coping the files will not change anything, EA app will still use the Original location, so this is pointless.
What modding tool do you use?
- @holger1405 FrostyMod, but it won't launch from the EA app, from the folder directly, or from FrostyMod.
FrostyModManager will not work with EA app, the Mods will not be loaded into the game.
Did you used "Frosty Fix" at some point? (You will have to if you get the game to run.)Your PC specifications are below the minimum requirements for DAi.
So this might be a additional problem.Please preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.
Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.
