(Steam Deck) Remote Play Won't Connect After Patch 4
I can't play the game. I have been streaming the game via remote play on steam to my steam deck. No other game has any issue, but after the latest update to dragon age the veilguard the control prompts constantly flash between keyboard and controller, it eats most of the inputs, and the camera won't stop pointing at the ground. It's completely unplayable. The game was broken by the update and noone in support is even acknowledging the issue because it's a niche problem. Valve won't refund me because I've played too much and it's not my fault that the game is broken.
Terrain not loading/No menu
I'm having an issue where I get to a certain point and most of the terrain isn't loading in and there's no access to the in-game menu. Playing on Window's 10/Steam: I'm at the beginning of the game when rook destroys the scaffolding at the ritual site and the game black-screens forever with audio intact (part of the problem but not the main problem). If I exit out of the game completely and load back in, it starts in the cut-scene of rook and companion shoving the pillar and it falling and so on and so forth. The game plays through the rest of the cutscene until rook blacks out after touching their head and seeing blood. Then, the game loads into a playable part with rook and the companion by the eluvian but most of the terrain isn't loaded in and hitting the button to get to the in-game menu appears to pause the game but there's no menu UI (so I can't load a save or go back to the main menu or anything). There's nothing I can interact with or any apparent way to move the story forward. (Also I can't die from fall damage in this state, I found out when I ran off the edge of everything.) I've tried backing out and reloading the save, loading from an earlier auto-save, and from manual saves, and I've tried the whole game over with a premade character. I've tried uninstalling and redownloading the game and the game's already saved to SSD. I've had Steam verify the game files several times. I'm already playing at the lowest graphics settings. All my drivers are updated. Someone help, I'm out of ideas of how to get through this. Picture attached of the partially-loaded game:
AMD 9070XT Black Screen Crash
I have been playing for the past few weeks and have started running into near constant crashes. The frequency of these crashes is anywhere between every few minutes to few hours. It does not seem to correspond to any in game events though at one point I managed to get it to consistently happen when entering one area but it fixed itself there after about 10 crashes. The crashes are all screens turning off, the game sounds sometimes continuing (and I can tell I am interacting with the game due to controller vibrations), some times my GPU fans spin up to 100%. In all situations it is not recoverable and the system will eventually restart, sometimes instantly other times after a few minutes. Sometimes after restarting my graphics card is no longer detected causing multiple issues that need resolving step by step. I have tried all troubleshooting I can online, my best solution is to DDU , reinstall drivers to force the shaders to fully recompile and then I can usually get around 30 minutes into the game before it fails again (though I suspect it might be placebo) . It is not temperature, or overclock as I have tried underclocking and keeping a temp log to no success. I have tested both a Linux install as well as windows and the error appears on both, and I have tested on a steamdeck and I can force the error to occur by changing the screen refresh rate while the game is running . I am currently installing my older GPU to see if I can run the game with that instead but there is clearly something broken either with my new 9070 XT or, I hope, with the game/drivers. I have not had issues like this with other games but DAV is the game I have played the longest with this card. Any help would be appreciated and if you have the same issue I would welcome a comment just so I can know that I am not alone and it is more likely to be the drivers or game and not a busted card!
When loading, get a black screen with the game still loading
For some reason over the last couple of days, I have been dealing with whenever I try to load the game after I stop playing for a bit, I get a black screen that loads and then sits there and it seems like nothing happens but the game does load and then I can hear the sound and everything and can hear when my mouse seemingly goes over the menu options. I have tried the following: Updated Graphics drivers to the latest Updated Windows to the latest Verified Game Files Deleted the shader cache Rolled back my Graphics driver to an earlier version to see if that works. The only thing that seems to work is uninstalling the game and reinstalling...which is insanely annoying to do. At this point I'll keep reinstalling to be able to play the game....but it's annoying.
Dragon Age: Veilguard freezing Ps5
I have tried everything to fix the freezing issue, performance mode, uninstall/reinstalling, restarting ps5, resetting ps5, going offline. It still freezes constantly. I can't even make it out of Character Creation. My partner has the same type of ps5 as me but his runs fine and hasn't froze at all.Game Froze indefinitely after approaching the Veil Jumpers camp portal
Video attached. My game froze indefinitely when I approached the veil jumpers camp portal and never recovered. I’ve not been able to reproduce it but I’ve sent a crash report via PlayStation after my game crashed when trying to close the game after freezing although it didn’t crash itself initially so unsure how useful the call stack will be, hopefully this helps though.Keeps on crashing
When i got the game in December. I tried to start a new game and make a character. The game crash and freeze. I have a ps5 and i did everything, uninstall and reinstall. It still keeps on crashing. I called playstation and they stated it's not them. So basically EA has issues with their servers. I've waiting for this game to come out since 2016. Now it's having issue already. Please EA fix this issue please and send the new Patch asapPC Load Screen Freezing (black screen during load or crash)
**LOAD SCREEN FREEZING** (Black screen with purple loading icon in lower right corner, video lock up needing hard restart issues, or window crashing to desktop after starting) This is a shader compiling issue. So, this issue has been affecting many ever since the game launched. I had this issue, ensured everything was updated (BIOS, GPU drivers, etc.), run as administrator, compatibility modes, restarts, disabling various graphics features, etc., etc., etc. None of it worked. Many folks mentioned deleting (or simply removing) the shader_cache folder in the game files and it worked. As a workaround, it caused some performance issues but the game was playable, until the most recent update. Now, if you attempt this work around it says there are "Corrupted Files" and you have to run the repair if you want to play. So that workaround is out the window. Spoke with EA Support earlier about this issue and was told it's a known issue causing problems for lots of various hardware configurations/platforms (i.e. PC, PS5, XBox). Supposedly a fix is in the works and set to be released sometime "soon." Added the usual "some people are having issues because of outdated BIOS causing crash during shader compilation" bit. No help there, my BIOS is up-to-date, still no luck. Also mentioned that some people apparently have had issues with nVidia graphics driver versions newer than Version 560.94 (tried a rollback to this version as well, didn't help). All in all, it sounds like some of us are simply out of luck until they release a fix....Crashing During Cut Scenes
