Just about finished downloading again and ready for the re-install. Which files can I look at to determine which version/patch its running??
Easiest way to tell would be look in the "Controls" options to see if there's a "walk" assignment available. If it is- you'll know it's the latest version.

Well, the new download includes the latest patch. The "walk" assignment is there. I also found a file called "version.json" and they both have the same value. I also found out that the "keep game installer" does nothing for this game. No extra files or installer kept, it seems the game is downloaded and placed directly in its directory. Looks like the only way to go vanilla is to get a physical disc. Looks like I will be waiting for another patch before playing this again.

Sorry. Wish there was some other way we could help! Thanks for "taking one for the team" to answer the question, though.

Nah, I have a physical disc- thing still installed from Origin when I tried reinstalling (my atrocious net was the reason I bought a physical copy in the first place, took a day and a bit ffs!). Googled workarounds to no avail too. *shrugs*
They've royally screwed us all in as many ways as they could imo.

It was a good test. It has shown that once you get a version that is stable for you and makes you happy, make a backup of the directory!!!
LunaFancy, thank you for the update on the disc, saved me some more trouble! Looks like we will have to wait to see what the modders can do.

Well, that answers that question, too. No ability to force a patch rollback, either with the original disc version, or forcing updates "off" in the Origin client.
They do. Millions of WoW subscribers that can be invited to/apply to beta test every game Blizz has. I've beta'd on 4 of their releases (not including WoW EP betas and stress tests) in the last 8 years.
Bethesda does the same thing. "Apply to beta test ESO/Skyrim" etc.
Bioware could do the same thing, just as cheaply. They had us test the Keep for free, they could have done the same with DA:I. The trouble is that EA Games is too paranoid about leaks.
The level of polish with public beta tested games and EA games is like night and day. There have already been multiple threads made on the feedback/suggestions section. EA actually tried the closed alpha/beta route with the new (and cancelled C&C), the result:

Lol
EA seems to be obsessed with MP/Microtransactions, hell look at DAI's MP too. With that in mind I doubt EA will even entertain the idea of public betas for its flagship titles that come with heavy marketing and big focus on pre-orders.
Crap game experiment
Ok started a little experiment. I really dont like the Inquisition experience at all, but since i paid for it, im trying to play it, mostly for the sake of knowing better.
Im somewhat adapted to the poor controls now.
One thing that helped me so far is that im comming back without any expectation, at all. Im just using it for the sake of using, no expectations, it easies the feel.
Issues so Far
1 - On the "tutorial" so far, its really hard to play properly on the "rift closing" area; usually the icon to interact with the disrupt fade is out of screen, i try to zoom out, it goes to the tactical screen, but it dont help because the maxed zoom out is to near, i cant get near the fade. Also the demon is too big i have dificulties trying to issue commands.
2 - The tactical view isnt ideal, but at least i managed to issue commands. The great deal of issues that i found on the tactical view is that it is so much near; when you keep zooming out it forces a top down view, but its so near it dont help at all. Also the constant tilting when you try to zoom make it difficult to control.
3 - The need to constantly use the right mouse button to camera look is dull, but i accepted it. The problem is the right mouse button is also the interact button, and usually is very hard to interact with objects like the loots. If when you clicked the right button on a near action, like a loot or rift, the character did walk to the object it would be much more easier. The way it is you need to be moving constantly to find the "right spot" to click on the object. Or at least make the clickable range bigger.
Other throughs
1 - Despite not having "click to move", its possible to issue click to move if you are on tactical view; so it seen the pathfinding is working properly, it would not be hard to implement a click to move.
2 - Despite not having "auto attack" if you hold mouse or attack button it keep attacking. It would be extremely easy to set this. Both this and 1 could be set as an option on the menu, so they could keep current controls and allow a new set.
3 - Considering attacks and move, it would be optimal if auto attack happened on left click, and also the option to click to interact on the left button, it makes much more sense. The right could be use to move or even only to mouse look.
Nvidia reminds me of 3DFX at their height of popularity. I think they have become very bullish with their business tactics. I wish they would cooperate with AMD and make Mantle a more utilized API since it benefits both AMD and Nvidia cards instead of just the one.
I'd like more Co-Operation between AMD and Nvidia also but alas I think Nvidia's pinning all their hopes on DX12 which may seriously backfire on Nvidia if it doesn't live up to Microsoft's Claims.Also current games such as DAI likely won't benefit much if at all from DX12 unless they add the features in via a patch.
Over the years I have had GPU's from both companies so I have no loyalty to either brand although in the UK at least Nvidia GPU's have quite a price premium over the comparable AMD GPU and given that the only time I have seen a 970 offer equal/marginally better performance to one of my 290's tends to be at 1080P in a Gameworks title.At 2560x1440 my 290's are trading blows with 980's either bettering the 980 or being within 10FPS which isn't bad considering my 290's are £300 each and a 980 goes for around £460-£520,the price difference is so big across 2 cards that it would almost entirely pay for the custom water loop I'm installing in my system soon.
I much prefer AMD's more open approach but alas Nvidia just doesn't want to play ball

I have one 980, i would go AMD if 380 was already here. I was never really a fan of nvidia because of shoddy business, now all this 970 thing that blowed on nvidia reputation, plus the gsync proprietary hardware debuked as a merely copy protection hardware; amd freesync is open to any display with display port 1.2.
True, 980 isnt worthy its price, but on my country the difference was 100 US$ between 290x and 980, so its no wonder i choose the later. This all happens because local retailers put large margins into AMD products, probably driven by nvidia pressure.
Well, that answers that question, too. No ability to force a patch rollback, either with the original disc version, or forcing updates "off" in the Origin client.
I've managed to rollback to patch 2 by downloading it from *a place that I think I cannot mention here without being banned*.
You won't be able to use your saves though if you opened them with the latest patch.
I had crashes - and no other game I own crash. My system has been very reliable. In fact some of the crashes were reproducable and the 'work around' was to switch to mantle (from direct3d); which strongly suggest to me a bug with their code. What I can't figure out is why the load (at start up) times are so incredibly painfully long. It takes forever and a chunk of it is not accessing the disk. When you combined this with the crashes it is not a fun experience. The game tended to crash more later than earlier so I don't think patch 3 had an impact but maybe it did (I finished just as patch 3 was arriving).
I don't understand this assertion. I have many, many, (too) many PC games. Pretty much none of them crash, let alone frequently. Do you experience many crashes in all your other games...? Maybe you should check out your rig and see if it needs some basic maintenance, or driver updates.

Frostbite 3 engine keeps everything packed (pretty much like a .zip), so basically every time you load the level, engine unpacks everything (all the assets) into your disk's temp folder. The best solution for those slow loading times is SSD.

Lol are you serious?
At least you can play the game! Sincé patch 4 we can't even log in to Origin here in Sweden so no DAI.............perhaps a blessing in disguise. They say that the patch has done something with our gates/addresses what ever.

I just hope the videogame industry doesn't have to implode for dev studios to go back into making quality products again. kind of feel like... inquisition was my last shred of hope, and it seems my hopes have only been answered by my fears, well at this point.
The gaming industry has been on the verge of dying out for a while now. Unlike the first gaming crash, it's a slow and drawn out death. You can see signs of it in back in the later ps2 and xbox days and especially during the ps3/360 days. The only reason things look so bad now, is because the accumulative effect is now to big to go unnoticed.
The only reason the gaming industry is dying is because of corporate greed. EA is the epitome of that. Gone are the days of passion from our formerly favorite gaming companies. It would take a system shock for the industry to turn around. But sadly, I don't see that happening.

Corporate greed is killing the gaming industry. The buy out of small publishers and developers, the subsequent massive lay offs and studio closers. The release of both broken games and hardware to maximize profits during a set time period. The complete and utter corruption of gaming journalism. All of it has been caused by corporate greed and all of it has been going on for years. It's like I previously said the only reason things look so bad now is because of the accumulative effect. You are right, it's going to take a massive shock to the gaming industry to turn things around. That shock isn't going to come from within the gaming industry. So it's up to us as consumers to do it. Demand more from every gaming company, call out their negative practices when ever and where ever you see it. And most of all, let your wallet do the talking.
Also, like it or not, everyone needs to realize that us gamers, in one way or another, played a huge part in this mess. Take the Xbox 360 red ring fiasco for example. The moment it became clear that the 360 had such an insanely high failure rate is the moment people should have stopped buying them and started to demand a refund, period. Because so many people re-bought a 360 when theirs broke or bought one despite the red ring issue, the 360 was far more profitable than it should have been, period. Microsoft should have been loosing massive amounts of money because of it, not posting record profits.

Wow you managed to have at least some fun despite initial design. My congratulations!

Sometimes you just have to burn it to the ground and start all over ... or find an alternative.
There's no fix for a company like EA, the best thing that could happen to both PC and console gaming would be for everyone to stop buying their product and watch as they founder.
That's not likely to happen any time soon, but we can make a start of it.
BiowEAre games were the only thing they had I would purchase and it looks like DA:I is going to put and end to that too.
More and more small independents are becoming my "go to" source for games.
I think I'm okay with gaming not being mainstream or a popular hobby. The golden age for gaming, at least for me was when PC had majority of the games, and Nintendo had the NES. I think Video Games Exchange was probably the only used games store at the time..
p.s. GOG and Steam would keep me content, I think.
So, EA. You sold me an open world beat 'em up game with mmo content (well hardly, ive experienced far better stuff in mmo-s) and you labeled it Dragon Age. Loading times take minutes, game random crashes in cinematics. PC version got walking as a patch. Ok, i repeat this. PC VERSION GOT WALKING AS A PATCH. And this is basically the only relevant thing happened in more than two months after the release of this trash. My question is: Dafuq? Ive heard Mass Effect 4 will have the same engine these monkeys are unable work with? This is not the end of the world guys, Gaming Armageddon is not upon us, but this "game" was a waste of money and time.
Next time you sell a causal adventure hack'n'slash game as an RPG, at least... Who gives a damn i wont be around next time after this travesty anyways.
I grabbed this from a techradar article:
Confirming recent reports, Microsoft's Terry Myerson announced that Windows 10 will be free for Windows 8.1 users for its first year. While there's no word on pricing for users still on Windows 7 or an older version, Microsoft confirmed a while ago that the two most recent Windows versions will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 directly.
Windows 10 is beginning to sound like the first subscription based OS. Free for the first year and then what?
