Inquisitor Appearance Bug
I custom created my Inquisitor's appearance - I imported a character I had created previously, but then edited the Inquisitor afterwards (not sure if that matters). However she appears as the default elf female preset and without hair. Attached images show how she appears in game versus the character creator.
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!DATV Won't Open
As of a week or so ago my Dragon Age game WILL NOT OPEN. I have tried everything I can think of (uninstall/reinstall, run as admin, delete shade cache, check file integrity through steam, updated drivers) NOTHING has worked. When I go to open the game (through steam or using the desktop shortcut) it will pop up like the game is trying to load, but it never get farther than a white screen before crashing and closing the window. I am lost and utterly heartbroken. I have over 100 hours in the game and only 6 achievements away from completing the game entirely. Please somebody tell me there is a fix for this.
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.
The Labs Below won't trigger [PC]
Encoutered a bug where I can't complete the Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest because I can't collect the last memory. When I first entered the Crossroads I slid down the slope and the cutscene for this quest triggered, but I felt like I wasn't ready for it and wanted different companions, so I reloaded to just before. Now when I try to go down there to finish this quest the cutscene won't trigger, Tarasahl isn't there and the door is closed and can't be interacted with. Trying to reload an even earlier save isn't really an option because I've played for 80 hours since then. The last patch did not fix this. I would hate to have to abandon my first playthrough so far in, it kinda puts me off playing the game altogether.
Game Save Progress Missing
For the last couple gaming sessions, Dragon Age Veilguard has lost the most recent saved progress. For my last manual save, my character was in Arlithan Forest, standing in front of Harding to take the boat to the next area, and when I came back a day later the save was gone. The last manual and automatic saves are oddly in the exact same spot, and I've probably lost about an hours worth of progress, along with multiple manual and automatic saves. I opened a case with EA, but is anyone else encountering this problem?
Rooks appearance free cosmetic bugged
Ever since I downloaded it from the EA app in the add on section for veilguard, the game has been horrifically bugged. It either doesn't start at all OR I go to start a new game , it gets to the loading screen just before minrathous bar scene and it crashes out. Every single time. I've un-installed then reinstalled my game, the graphics drivers n so on and it still does it. So I was wondering if anyone else is encountering this and if so is there a fix on the way? Edit: I can't even remove the add-on from the game because in the ea app where it allows me to view/manage add-ons in my game library, the option to remove the add-on is missing
