Hi,
Please, community, I am at my wits' end!
Two days ago Origin on my PC would not continue working, with a non-closable message saying I would have to switch to EA App. Since I saw no way around this, I did. DA Inquisition stopped working, but I figured since I had modded it with .DAI mods and frosty mods, this was almost to be expected. I tried everything I could find in these forums (which is the same customer support could think of), but still when I try to launch the game I get the message "An error on our end caused your launch to fail". :
- completely uninstalled (including savegames) and re-downlodoaded the game with no mods
- ran EA App as admin
- set DragonAgeInquisition.exe to run as admin
- deleted EA App cache (in several combinations with other steps)
- set exemption in AVG for EA App and Game folder
- even completely removed AVG, just to be sure
- updated Nvidia Drivers
- checked if there were any background apps that might interfere. According to troubleshooting checklist: none
- checked a tip from this forum concerning a mess-up in Environment Variables. Nothing there
- Of course: at each step restarted the system
- tried starting the game from Nvdia Geforce experience
- tried starting from Frosty Mod Manager (only after everything else had failed, until then hadn't messed with this install of the game at all)
- just to preclude the question: hardware is much more capable than required, and anyway until the switch from Origin to EA App everything was super smooth
Now, one tip from customer support I thought might work was a link to download Origin legacy. However when that installed, it tries to update itself to the current version (can`t stop it), which failed, which prompted me to install the current "live" version of Origin, which worked but again prompted me to switch to EA App.
Please, I don't have any more ideas. Oh, by the way I tried installing some other games; they work (including ME Andromeda, which I read is similar technology-wise).

I'm having this same problem, and have yet to find a solution that has worked for me.
Someone had success with pausing/turning off their Avast antivirus shields, so that's something you could try if you have an antivirus installed.
I hope you're able to find something that works for you, best of luck!

Yeah thanks, I don't use Avast, I use AVG and as I've said I already completely removed it at one point to eliminate it as the culprit.

I don't know if it will help, but I saw a thread here about removing a file, caused by Frosty modmanager, in this thread...
Do I know if it works, no, as so far, I haven't upgraded to EA App, and I don't use Frosty....which is strange since I have modded both previous DAs and Skyrim to heck and back....
