yes. I cancelled on the menu about accepting microsoft C++ distributable. I turned off my internet and selected play from the Origins menu.. Game is playing.
putting origins in offline mode is simpler. Plus it makes the game start faster

Even in the dark my hair shines like a terrible beacon.
Thank goodness I canceled my update! I'll wait until they get all this fixed.
Tip: make sure you uncheck the box in origins to auto update or keep games updated cause the moment you click to go online the game will try to update.
This patch really made the graphics so bad:
Before patch

Before patch

After patch

After Patch

And the rogues hide effect is very simple now too. It is on ultra now and was on ultra before too, but it looks like the low setting.
I stopped playing. Tell me how to fix this mess, please.

Hey Everyone,
We're working on getting a hot fix out for the PC graphics issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, here is a workaround you can try:
To start, make sure the quality setting you choose is equal to the setting set for Mesh Quality inside Options>Graphics
You will need to add a new command line parameter. To do this:
Through Origin:
- Right click on the Dragon Age Inquisition title
- Go to game properties
- Type the command line parameter in the Command Line Properties box.
Through shortcut:
- Right Click Shortcut
- Go to Properties
- Under target go to the end of the field and type the command line parameter into the box
Once there, add the following command line parameter: -ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel <quality setting>
In this instance, <quality setting> should be one of the following:
- Ultra
- High
- Medium
- Low
An example of how to set your quality to high would be: -ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel High
Please note that once the hot fix is out, you will need to go back in and remove this workaround from your command line.
It’s also important to note that pre-patch 2, all users on PC were being forced to use the Ultra shader quality. This means that those of you playing on lower settings will notice a decrease in quality, particularly players using low or medium settings.
To achieve the same visuals as pre-patch, users on lower settings will need to change their settings to Ultra, which should likewise be used in conjunction with Ultra mesh quality. Mismatching the mesh and shader settings will result in other visual artifacts like overly shiny hair.
Please be aware that changing settings to Ultra may impact performance on some machines.
Sorry about any frustration this may have caused.

This is a PC work around I have used it and i can confirm it works
Here is the source

I used the following line and my graphics went back to "normal"
-ShaderSystem.ShaderQualityLevel Ultra
Granted my video card can handle ultra.
Wait the shinny hair was actually initialy a high and ultra feature?

No, a mismatch between shader and mesh settings caused it, apparently.

it did not help me the slightest, after i did it with Target like in the instructions i clicked on DAI shortcut again & it just started the game & all was same, changing settings in game had no effect, & like i said game opened no window where u change settings, if that what was suppose to happen
Sugram, make sure your in-game graphic options under 'mesh quality' is set to the same setting you entered in the target line for shader settings, then restart.
I was so worried it was something I did that made the hair shine like that. With others having the same problem Bioware will get a fix for it.
I can confirm High mesh also makes everybody's hair shine.
For those who HAVEN"T patched yet - I was able to cancel the patch completely. I was then able to launch the game and play normally in offline mode (I can't play with origin online without patching). Works out nicely if you don't want to play MP or import a new world state.
