[PC] DA2 launching in background, black screen bug
Title explains it all. DA2 is unusable and keeps launching in the background. Occasionally it launches successfully but everything but the UI is completely black. That seems to indicate a driver problem, but dxdiag shows no issues as far as I can see. I have no idea if these errors are related or two separate issues, but the black screen bug started after I signed into my Bioware account from another one since I believed the launch issue might have sprung from a discrepancy between the email associated with the EA app account and the Bioware account used in game. The launching started working perfectly but it was obviously unplayable due to the black screen bug. I used local saves so I don't think it's a data loss issue, but starting a new game still gives a black screen even on the class select screen. I haven't changed any settings since that error, but now it's back to only launching in background. I've done full reinstalls, restarts, cleared cache, and ran as admin, but nothing changes and there's no way to consistently get the same error. I'm completely at a loss as to what's wrong with my game.
Dragon Age Inquisition on Steam and EA App
I have DAI on steam. Every time the EA App updates, I usually have to uninstall and reinstall the app and relink it to my steam account for the game to boot. I have tried this after the recent update that had a new user agreement, but the game won’t boot at all. When I click ‘play’ it launches the EA app to try and boot it but then just crashes - the game doesn’t even show up on my taskbar. I am assuming this is because the update messed with the “handshake” between the EA app and Steam. I cannot play my game at all.
My mouse cursor is missing in DA:I
Hi everyone. My mouse cursor is just non existent in DA:I from the moment I launch the game. I've tried toggling the view from mirrored to windowed and back again, I've also changed some things in the game files that old forum discussions suggested would fix the problem. It's, ironically, a game of the year edition that I bought off Steam. Does any one have any advice that might help? Thank you in advanceStuck under the world
This is my second play through, and didn’t encounter this the first time. At that point I can move, fire off with my staff, but as soon as I try to use the map or escape for the menu, it stalls out. If I just keep moving, I end up under the world. I’d read if you died it might correct the problem, but there’s nowhere to end my character. Anyone had this issue and know of any remedy? I’ve set everything to low, started again with a prior save, but nothing breaks through the issue. All research says this is a game breaking bug.
Loot Bug
So my first playing, I think during Blood of Arlathan, I encountered a bug that made it so I couldn't buy anything from merchants. The money would be spent but I would get no items and the only way I could buy anything was if I spent something which you can only do with faction merchants. I also stopped getting items and improvements though chest, the only thing I would get was gold, which was rather annoying but my gear wasn't too bad so I powered through it. On my second play through now and after first getting to Hossberg I've encountered the bug again but this time I was able to go back to a save where it wasn't there. However, it kept coming back whenever I tried to buy anything from the merchants around Lavendel so I stopped trying to get anything from them. But while exploring it started up again until I skipped the 'Only an Echo' quest where you check on the family. For some reason, even if I don't collect any of the chest you find on that quest, I would get that bug. I'm on pc and I do have mods but the only one that effects items is one that unlocks all cosmetics for my armor and weapons so I don't think it would cause this. Update, happened again after doing heart of corruption, got the item in the chest after the quest and now merchants don't like me. Not loving that this might be a reoccurring bug.
Dragon Age Keep hasn't worked for me in years!
The last time I was able to use the keep was around September 2024.. Around October 2024, just before Veilguard came out, it stopped working with the "Oops An Error Has Occurred" message. At the time I assumed it was down for everyone again, but no, this seems to be an issue with my account at this point. I have tried everything, clearing cache, changing password, different browsers, different devices, VPNs, incognito, waiting.. everything. I can confirm that when creating a new account it works, it just does not work with my account.. An account that I've had for 10 years or longer, that has all my data within it. I tried contacting EA Support via the live agent chat, but they were completely, utterly useless. I don't know what to do anymore..
