DRM

EA is responsible for DRM checking... meaning EA checks to see if your game is properly activated. By this I mean that the server runs a routine that verifies the info it has about your account and your game(s), the date and time it was activated, probably also a hardware ID vs what the game is sending to them.  Uninstalling the game can remove your local "game ID information", which, for obvious reasons, won't match what's on file.

 

For example:

In my case I had to upgrade my system to run DAI. This meant changing my motherboard and CPU. What happened?  Windows 7 no longer recognized my PC and I had to activate the OS again.

 

Hope this helped.

 

Thanks a lot, Sartoz, i was really lost in the fog about how a DRM works and pulling my brain out to understand what went wrong when i changed my MB (I had to downgrade it, lol, cause i had none and was pretty damn short on cash). My system recognized Windows (8.1) but yeah, the programs were all unstable, had to reinstall lots of things.

The controls are fine for me. However, the rest seems to be taken from mistranslated head canon from others. I do hope that your problems get some attention soon, as well as my own minor issues.

As for my opinion, it is not worth any more than any other, but it is not worth less. Simply move me to Ignore lists if my posts bother your sensibilities; have done the same.

 

Again, this is a thread a Dev set up for the purpose of asking what our concerns are. Anyone who has no concerns does not need to repeatedly post that we shouldn't have any because they don't. Once, maybe, sure: if someone's not having problems, well, good. Other have said so and they get a "yay!". But multiple times? Along with the "I'm ignoring you" tripe to anyone who disagrees with you? If you have no issues with the game, why are you here?

 

Defence?

 

Mr Darrah asked us to tell him what we feel is wrong with the game, and here you are, jumping on people because they are doing just that, because in your arrogance you don't think anyone should be doing exactly what Mr Darrah asked us to do, or that anyone who has concerns just isn't saying so in the right way. Because this is not about Mr Darrah's request, it's all about how you feel.

 

See?

Marry me.

Make me a groomsmen!

Day 506

Sara and I were hunting a group of deer when we stumbled across someone. His name was Simon he claimed. Sara greeted him a bit guardedly but I remained warily silent. He was very interested in others if there were any. It struck me with an undeniable sense of unease. My heart beating so loudly that when Sara called out to me I missed it. When she grabbed my arm and pulled me back to reality I told her no in a low flat tone. Knew the question was about meeting the rest. Too much risk. In her reaction I noticed that she was frightened but not of him.

What do I know I asked myself as we led Simon back to our camp but in the pit of stomach I grew more comfortable as we neared the house. Maybe he's just another lost. Looking for a suitable place to eke out.

Everyone was understandably on guard at first. Simon is quickly proving a capable extra hand. Helped me out with my garden even. Sara gets along with him well enough which will hasten his acceptance.

Marry me.

An intriguing offer, with just two problems:

 

One, my wife would kill me.

 

Two, my wife would then find some horribly arcane way to resurrect me and then kill me again.

 

Although... it's almost tempting just for the experience really....  ;)

You know who is more helpful than the developers? DarkAmaranth1966 and lot of the PC Players group. JUST GIVE US A DANG TOOLSET and we'll make it all good again. I promise. Don't give me any freakin' reasons not to do it. We can help. We can fix it. We want to fix it. We want to mod the game for PC players and RPG fans alike. You want to make money off DLC, then give us a toolset. Most of the greatest mods require all the DLC. There is a small minority that would try to screw things up, but for the most part, Bioware can attract an even wider audience by allowing insane, unpaid talent show off their skills. Yeesh.

I'm curious, and this is a sincere question, I'm not trying to snark at you or anything.

 

Do you have a controller? Do you own a  console? Do you like playing with a controller? I know, I'm sure you'll say you play DAI on PC with a mouse and keyboard, but that's not what I'm asking.

 

The reason I'm asking is, I suspect people who are used to using controllers for most games they play would be fine with the controls. navigating the inventory and crafting for instance, would look fine if that's how you are used to seeing the UI work in Console play.

And DA2, SWTOR, and DAI are all great games for me; all pre-orders, too. The only other title I have pre-ordered was Skyrim; another game I have a great deal of time invested. Also agree with Citadel DLC; the best part of many re-plays for myself.

But I also do research before purchase; reason ME3 itself was not on that list. It wasn't until some others gave me insights into the dialogue and gameplay that allowed me to finally purchase it.

While I have some minor issues with DAI, those have been logged. Now I simply enjoy playing, and look forward to more campaigns.

 

 

Minor issues, are you friggin serious? The whole game needs so much fixing you can barely classify it as a beta version, and i am not mentionning the blatant lies and false advertisement.

Please try to be a little more respectful of one another in this thread. Just because someone has a difference in opinion from you is no reason to resort to personal attacks or back and forth accusations of trolling. I encourage you all to continue to provide us with feedback, but please make sure you're doing so in a way that doesn't violate the site rules.

 

With regards to patching, we're continuing to work on a number of things for Inquisition based on the feedback we've received from players. I can't give you specifics at this time (and believe me, I know that's not overly helpful) but we are working hard to address the concerns and feedback we're seeing from our community on all platforms.

Also please understand that just because a particular issue hasn't been addressed to date is not an indication that we aren't working on it. We are very aware that keyboard and mouse controls are an issue the PC community is passionate about (among others). It's something we are continuing to look into and continue to treat as a priority.

As I'm sure you've heard from some of our other devs in the past, if something were an easy fix (especially something a lot of people are asking for) it would already be done. So for fixes that a lot of people want that haven't been seen yet, chances are it's a bit more complicated. That doesn't mean we aren't working on it, just that it might take a little time.

We value our player experience and want to make sure you have a great time playing Inquisition. We also continue to look at ways we can improve based on your feedback.

I appreciate that you are all passionate about BioWare and our games. Please trust that we are continuing to work on Inquisition behind the scenes, even if we can't provide more details quite yet.

So long as the directx crash is on the top of the list or near it. You all are cool by me.

Thank you. I am dying to play this but can't/won't until there is an acceptable keyboard+mouse UI with click to move/interact/attack. Give me that, and I'm quite sure I will love the game.

Thank you, Mr Pierse. :)

 

Side note:

 

I popped back in because of another CTD, one that has (now) been consistent enough that I feel it might not be an issue with my particular game: whenever I try to load potions at a camp. It happens about 30% of the time: try to cycle through the potion loading station and CTD, no error.

 

Again, it seems to be related to Origin spiking--I use to think it was a coincidence in timing but it seems, not.

 

Also, one for your meshing lot (not strictly speaking, PC only, but while I'm here)--the people looking into the male elf arms, perhaps?

(images below: you want to take a close look at Cassandra's shoulders)

 

Spoiler

 

The mesh hasn't been correctly connected to the shoulder bones, it appears, for the chainmail shoulders. This is actually a crafted heavy arms addition, but there was a similar issue in a past game (I didn't get a screenie) for a non-crafted one on my warr girl, same mesh, so it isn't an issue just for Cassandra's armour mesh. I haven't checked to see if it happens for blokes as well, but I can move the arm to Blackwall's armour and see if it's an issue for him, too, if oyu want.

 

ETA: The base mesh for Cass's armour without the arm addition is fine, just fyi.

 

I wholeheartedly agree. Marry me instead.

 

Godsdammit, Griffonclaw. Don't make me duel you for him. :P

Still no news regarding the issues with certain Nvidia graphics cards? I still can't get true fullscreen and even with v-sync on I'm getting an awful lot of screen tearing (which weirdly got worse the more I played the game).

 

I've decided not to start a new game until at least the screen tearing issue is dealt with it, as it's gotten really annoying. It's kind of like the screen is tearing itself in two every time the camera moves vertically. It's a shame, since the game itself is great and I've had no other real problems with it whatsoever. 

 

Seriously though, both Bioware and Nvidia have been aware of these issues for many months and I've yet to see any solutions from either side. Seeing as the OP posted "We are aware of issues with certain Nvidia graphic cards and we are working with NVIDIA for a solution" three months ago, I would have expected some kind of fix by now.

Oh, is it that time of the month again? Seriously how hard would it be to pop in here and say something along the lines of "Hey guys, for the next patch we're trying to fix X and Y, no promises. Z progresses well, but need some work. A and B are done and tested. Hey i like that gif". Instead we get the same old "Shush, can't say anything, heck, i wasn't even here"

Oh yeah, it's so "top priority" it hasn't been fixed in patch 4, might be looked at in patch 5, in a couple of months, after we release that horse armor DLC, but no promises.

 

As I'm sure you've heard from some of our other devs in the past, if something were an easy fix (especially something a lot of people are asking for) it would already be done. So for fixes that a lot of people want that haven't been seen yet, chances are it's a bit more complicated. That doesn't mean we aren't working on it, just that it might take a little time.

 

Like a few months after release to fix game/immersion breaking bugs (like detonators/skills/questlines not working properly or when your character suddenly decides to change his/her accent)? Well, it requires memory & work'n'[...] who woudda thunk.

No you clearly don't. I'm sorry, if you did you'd have postponed the launch date by at least 6 months, especially if you wanted so much to deliver that sweet "pc experience" (hint, you didn't).

 

 

I guess you're aware that this post will warrant you (not you personnally, Bioware in general) some "tearing of a new one" so let's begin, shall we (just for the [...] and giggles, because i don't care anymore at this point, too busy playing other, finished games. And frankly, those forums are far more entertaining than the actual game.)? Too lazy to quote everything one by one, so i'll answer inside the quote.

 

A kind reminder of what started the whole [...] in the first place (might consider taking it down from youtube, because we'll remind you of it on every possible occasion):

Thank you, Conal.  At least SOMEONE finally said SOMETHING....albeit a bit vague.  It's still better than that deafening silence that I've been accustomed to.  I was beginning to wonder if Bioware had all come down with the virulent party banter bug...
