Wow, that really stinks. I wonder what changed about the game that now renders SRWE useless...and if it can be fixed (especially since rolling back to Patch 5 doesn't help)? I'm glad I found this out before updating, though I'm really sorry that you guys are now stuck with it.

It really sucks :/ Favorite hobby is on hold in this game lol ... I dont really wanna progress without being able to screen it.

Perhaps srwe needs an update ..
Keep that update on hold for as long as you can!

I just jump in with some info:

 

More screenshotters confirmed that SRWE currently doesn't work with Patch 6.  Now they try to contact BW and see if anything can be done. Not much, but still something.

Happened to me aswell - I installed my pc new so I had to install everything again - so I got patch 6 but rolled back to patch 5 - swre is working but screenshots remain the desktop resolution.

 

Oh and I had to install radeon pro new and it seems it isn't working after new installation with patch 6 too - I tried it with Star Wars the old Republic and it works but with DAI I can only get it to run in 32bit mode (with 64bit the game won't start) and can't even make screenshots, it is not responding in any way.

 

However I could get SweetFx running by putting it in the game folder so that I don't need radeon pro - although I would prefer using it, I can't get it to work with DAI currently. Really strange.

*sigh* It looks like more and more I won't be updating any time soon...

 

Another screenshotter said that SRWE should work after rolling back to Patch 5. They said they'd message me on Flickr - I'll share once I hear something.

Have you tried repairing your install of DA:I? I've had RadeonPro stop working on me several times in the past and repairing my DA:I install always did the trick.

Just cross posting this as a public service announcement.

 

If you are running SRWE and haven't upgraded to patch 6 still hold off.  The fix to enable mods again still doesn't correct the SRWE issue.

Yeah, I was chatting with another screenarcher early today and it seems like it could be a hefty fix to get SRWE working with Patch 6, so that likely won't happen. Who knows, it might get fixed again on it's own with Patch 7. 

 

I can't not get DLC's forever, so I might just do it. I can still pause the game and DSR up to 4k to get a shot - it's way more work and means framing a shot at ~5fps...and no more cool aspect ratios...and no more high-rez screenshots during cutscenes...unless I wan to watch them at uber low fps.  :(

Thank you for the idea, although I had a fresh new install I tried it and it seems Origin did indeed something. The screenshot function of radeon pro was working after that again, so it seems to have worked.

 

My crash with the 64 bit version was due to a sweefx folder directly in the game folder. I thought if I don't use radeon pro for sweetfx I could ran both sweetfx in the game folder and radeon pro for screenshots but this was leading to the crashes. When I removed the sweetfx folder from the games folder I could ran again radeon pro in 64 bit modus.

 

But still I am unlucky to get sweetfx working with radeon pro again - I tried the 1.4 injector version that worked before together with the preset that worked before (in the radeon pro folder) but this didn't work and the new 1.5.1 version with old/new preset did not work too. I don't even see the sweetfx on/off notice on the screen, but making screenshots with radeon pro is working.

 

I am now using bandicam for making screenshots + sweetfx 1.5.1 directly in the game folder for getting sweetfx running.

 

Strangely with the preset I used the sweetfx log file said that SMAA wasn't enabled. With my old (1.4) preset it was enabled. So I changed every value in the old preset text file with notepad++ to the value for the new preset and now SMAA is working. Simply doing copy&paste did not do it but I checked the values and they are alright and the preset looks fine.

Did you try deleting your DA:I profile from RadeonPro and re-adding it? RadeonPro seems to be a very picky program. I would also try re-entering the SFX path into the RadeonPro options screen.

Siuan started a topic to draw the attention of BW of this issue. If you think, you can add your voice 

 

Here

 

The more we are, the better the chance it won't be ignored (hopefully it can be reversed).

hey there all you talented screen archers.  I am getting some moolah back from Uncle Sam this year and am looking to upgrade my monitor.  Any advice?

It really depends on what you want. Do you want/can you run at a higher rez than 1080p? I can't run this game at higher resolutions at the settings I want so I went with a nice 27" AOC 1080p IPS panel. If 1080p is what you're looking for I'd be happy to recommend it.

I can't seem to get the Cinematic Tools working. I've followed the instructions but the console window never shows up. Does anyone know if this is a patch issue or am I missing something?

Dont think there is a issue with the patch 7 nope...

Are u running ur DAI in windowed? Also make sure u run both as admin... 

Also make sure you start Cinematic tools after u opened game, mine tend to bug out if not game window loaded yet.. :)

I followed the instructions to the letter; run both as admin, launch Tools after game opened (I even tried it the other way around). I wasn't aware windowed or fullscreen mattered, but now, after trying both, that doesn't seem to fix the issue either. :(

Thats really odd.

Perhaps you have some other program running that blocking it? Anti Virus progs etc.. God knows, sometimes its the most simple things.

And ur using the proper version of Dai Cinematic Tools, ?

Well, I found the problem. For some reason, it won't work for me unless the Tools folder is located in the game directory.

 

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.

I am indeed. I'm guessing that has something to do with it?
