[Steam] - Dragon Age Inquisition won't launch with EA app

Same thing as before, no  launch, no error.

@F4celessK1ng Have you tried the below? If it just isn't launching I feel as though something is blocking it.

• Try a Clean Boot
• Try Safe Mode with Networking
• Try a new Windows Account

Clean boot I already tried to no success. Safe Mode I couldn't get the EA App to launch.

Making an entirely new Windows account did actually work, I got the game loaded no problem.

Not the most ideal solution... but I guess if I can't find the problem I could just have a second account solely for playing Dragon Age haha

Thank you for your reply. 

Can confirm as well as multiple comments in other past threads that the app itself cannot be installed to a custom location. The only install location change options are for the games themselves.

@F4celessK1ng I am glad to hear that a new Windows account works. Not ideal no. That means that the other one has registry issues. 

I would start with a repair of Windows and a repair of the HDD/SSD as well here

Once that is completed, I would do this too

Optional Registry clean-up

• install CCleaner (it's free) from here
• Run Registry cleaner
• Click fix all
• Do not back up files

@EA_Shepard Sorry, took me ages to get around to doing this.

your hyperlink doesn't seem to be working, but I did a repair of Windows and the registry clean up.
I scanned my hard drives and they came up as all good. So I was hesitant to do much at risk of losing data.

Still the same with Dragon Age I'm afraid.

Ccleaner user for several years here, I even paid for it! Registry cleaned, problem persists. No error message, the game simply does not launch.

Hey, can yall try the following for me? This may have been done but I need a count of those who have tried.

• Uninstall and reinstall the EA app. This should grab the latest live version (which should be12.186.0-5443-3f8e6ca92 (68361-9a00e0cf66)), which will allow Steam games to run as admin if you use Steam
• If you prefer not to do that, you can stay on this version, you need to not run DAI as admin, which can be done with the following steps:

1. Right-click on DAI in Steam and select "Properties"
2. In the game properties window, navigate to the "Local Files" tab, then select "Browse"
3. In the DAI install directory, right-click on "DragonAgeInquisition.exe" and select "properties"
4. In the exe properties window, select the "Compatibility" tab, then uncheck the box for "Run this program as an administrator". DAI should now be launchable from Steam with this version of the EA app.

Did it already, but I reinstalled the newest EA App just to be 100% sure. No change.
