It's the game itself, not your system.

 

I made a thread about this a little while ago. My game worked fine for my primary character and the HoF alt playthrough, but when it came to my solo rogue I figured I would try sequence breaking. I went to the Gull and Lantern via the map hole near the Fereldan Frostback, which triggered the meeting with Fiona and Alexius. This put me further ahead than when meeting Giselle, the people in Val Royeaux, and Blackwall. I went back to Haven, did the Redcliffe arc, and returned to Haven again. I then went to Val Royeaux and did all that. Now is when Leliana was supposed to bring up Blackwall, but the quest doesn't trigger. It just freezes the game for about two minutes.

 

That's when the crashes started happening, and not just a game crash but a total system crash. It happened once while selecting a travel point in Val Royeaux, once while fighting the Reds in Haven, and the most recent time it happened to me was while I was fighting in the Western Approach. I have decided to move the saves out of the Inquisition folder and give that character a break for now. I have gone back to playing as my primary character and my HoF playthrough...

 

No crashes since.

 

So the crashes are definately something to do with the game. In my case, it was probably trying to load quests that could not activate and it just screws up the system to the point where it shuts down to protect itself, maybe. Also, I'm on patches 1 and 2 only.

I know a few people, myself included, having problems with the AMD Mantle technology if that's what you use in the game settings (even when choosing not to use it via game settings it still messes up). It's annoying as heck and my game crashes on my secondary pc which is AMD drivers/processors almost always within an hour of opening, and it can't get past the pride demon in the intro. I didn't see anywhere if OP had changed in-game graphics settings to reflect the drivers/processors used etc but it sounds like the same sort of issue my secondary pc has. It's a known game issue and I haven't found a permanent fix for it yet. I use a windows 7 pc however, not windows 8.

This post makes me happier and happier that I bought the Xbone version. I've had very few crashes that didn't apply to MP and normally even those only kicked me back to the starting menu. I *knocks on all wooden surfaces I can find* have only had three bugs occur and only had the game crash during single player five times since the game's launch. I can't believe that the PC version isn't more stable than the consoles, but then again there is a common trend of PC games that are also on platforms having far more issues. 

 

I do wish the OP all the best with their situation, but this post resonates for me.

Of course the game should work on within-spec PCs but with all the different variations of PC configuration, a boring, less HD (but still good) console version works for me.

PC player must be so patient

Although other people have said the game crashes on their xbox one. Which is odd because consoles shouldn't have problems like that unless a game was poorly made.

DAI has problems on every platform and every patch/DLC introduces new problems ^^; What I have seen some XBONE players have more problems than I do with my PS3 (where DAI crashes once a while and has some other bugs).

Crashes to desktop extremely rare in my experience on XB1.

Odd that it's not a consistent experience.

Turning off overclocking in ati catalyst control center solved all my crashing problems.

Yep, my gf had the same problem after this newest patch she did everything you listed as well and couldn't get it to work either. She builds PC's and I assume she'd know if it was her PC that was the problem. But anyway her copy of Inquisition now resides in the tree in our backyard, I think she is done also LOL!!

 

 

What are the chances that they will fix this within the year ? Given current track progress, I say slim?

A few years ago the PC market was pretty good. Minor tweaks to folders were at least for me the least of what I had to do to get a game to work on pc.

 

But developers now limit the PC part of their games to make it more fair for console players (limiting certain tools otherwise intended for the game)

 

Not only that, now it's more common for AAA titles to downsize priority on troubleshooting pc related problems and why not? People have been finding ways to fix their issues on their own. 

 

Consoles are far more convenient, but then you cannot have mods (which people are fine with). I'm not surprised the game has so many issues for PC, I am somewhat surprised that EA/Bioware has practically abandoned Nvidia users. It could have something to do with next gen consoles using AMD cards?

 

PC gamer, but since I got my PS4, I've preferred getting newer titles for the ps4 over the pc, and I'm very sad, instead of glad, that this is the situation for gaming.

Right now, I'm just hoping that switching over to Win 10 (once it comes out) will fix it.

 

the problem started with my old HD7850, and has persisted even after switching to an R9 290

 

I've been testing Windows 10 since the first public build and it runs all my games (including DAI) absolutely fine. In fact, I've seen some significant performance and stability improvements with DAI. At least until they released patch 7 and the Black Emporium. Boom crash!

 

Bioware is doing a massive botch job with patching DAI so it is probably best to steer clear of Bioware "trying their hand" at Frostbite 3 until they get a better grasp on the engine.

 

Personally, I am totally done with anything EA-branded.

On the PCs it's also this wonderful little clause included which says "need to trust the windows version it was made for, before even contemplating trusting the dev company". I am really very sorry for people who have to deal with windows 8s and windows 10s, and especially for the upcoming Microsoft games... I too have freezes and crashes on my xbox one, but I sorta suspect it's got nothing to do with my console...

I waited quite a few months before purchasing DA:I and seeing all the unresolved PC problems (plus the new DRM) I purchased the PS4 version.

Which ran reasonably well. UNTIL the Black Emporium DLC. Now the PS4 hangs entering the War Table Room (both Haven and Skyhold). If I'm patient, it will eventually show everyone in the War Room, except nothing happens. Can change the camera view, can go to other places on the map but can not interact with the War Table.

 

I contacted EA chat support - first line I stated it was PS4. He was not helpful - told me to check Origin... Then pasted in a bunch of links. Eventually he talked to a supervisor and said it was a known issue. Shortly after I got an email from him stating the case was closed. No reply to my post on the EA forum, except others with the same or similar problem with BE on all platforms.

 

There's no way to repair it on the PS4 - it's delete, re-download and re-install. Given the size of the d/l and no guarantee of success, I decided it's not worth the effort and a waste of time.

Yes, I'd have to agree. I suspect it's problems with the Frostbite engine along with EA's lack of support. Sad to watch the demise of BioWare; but it's what EA does best.

Funnily enough, EA's own games are happily flourishing.

If it's just DAI that's acting up, then DAI is just somehow not compatible with your system. If there are problems with all your games however...

 

For example, a while back, my computer suddenly started crashing and restarting on its own whenever I went to play games and it had started while playing DAO. The problem would persist no matter what I did or what I tried to play. I removed and reinstalled all my drivers, nothing worked. I was at a loss so I took it to the guys that had built my pc and they were confused because apparently my graphics card initial drivers had somehow removed themselves partially and all it took was for them to reinstall it through the initial disc that came with my graphics card. Conclusion: computers are weird and sometimes the problem is something that doesn't even make much sense (considering I had tried reinstalling the drivers as well yet still wouldn't work until it was done through the disc)

 

Also, off the top of my head, never install drivers for things like your graphics cards through windows update. Download and instal from the official source.

Well, if Bioware had only said "we want to look at advanced rendering and a new way of handling complex character issues", they would have gotten my money anyway, probably more if open sourced!  But to send me a deliverable that is so contrary with the standard interface as to be non functional -unacceptable.  I can certainly understand the DVD landing in a tree!

 

When your PC restarts it's quite likely that bad code essentially overloaded your power supply - Bioware knows this!  The tech obviously had blinders on.  My system can sink over a kilowatt when DAI is misbehaving, so what do you expect smaller power supplies to do?  They reset under the load!

Ditch AMD man, don't look back.

[b10d1v]

It's not just frostbite and the problems it's boundaries cause - mostly instabilities.  Although I believe some of these "reflect" into the other modules by unintended associations.  Let's assume an activation point expects an X or mouse click, but instead gets another result forced by a boundary conflict at best you can't activate the object and at worse the system crashes.

 

The character controller also has an enormous number of errors in every process, it's not doing it's jobs correctly or reliably quite often.

I did have extremely weird issues with Diablo III way back - it had something to do with the permissions somehow being scrambled. I couldn't actually update normally and had to switch to a different account solely to get it to work (major hassle). I suspect that if I reinstalled the game on my new system, it would be fine (but I have no desire to play D3 at this point, lol). I think there may have been some sort of registry-related weirdness.

 

As someone who used AMD cards for a looooong time, I kind of agree with Torgette - the ATI cards I've had have kind of sucked because of their propensity for flaky behavior with certain games (I've had Crossfire setups with all my previous cards) and the issues I've had with the drivers. For example, back when I had my Crossfire setup, Splinter Cell: Blacklist completely flaked out. I mean, the game wouldn't even make it to the main screen. And even when I somehow made it past that into the game itself, I ended up with hideous framerates and no sound. Also, the game would crash almost constantly (and there were other oddities).

 

I've been pretty happy after switching to nVidia - mainly because I have yet to have had any weird issues when using SLI, whereas Crossfire has pretty consistently caused problems with certain games in the past. I suppose that none of this really helps with your issues per se - it just goes to show that with most PCs having unique configurations, some games just aren't going to play nicely with people's systems no matter what they do. As much enjoyment as I get with my shiny graphics, the price is that you occasionally have to do some troubleshooting (sometimes without getting a good result).

Not a single problem on my PS4. Funny, innit?

Same here, not had any crashes or bad bugs at all on my PS4 version of the DAI, guess I am just lucky.

Only had one game that had really bad bugs, as in unplayable on release day and that was Assassin's Creed: Unity, which was so bad Ubisoft gave out free games to people to make up for it (I got Far Cry 4) ...

You are a lucky one!   I've helped many PS4  owners and some of them trashed the product.  Seeing that many of the issues are common to the primary modules there is no way that you are devoid of errors.

what makes you say that? The npc's arent bugged or the companions.

Really because I play on PS4 and have had zero game breaking bugs or errors, you can believe me or not I don't really care but I have no reason to lie about it and I doubt turuzzussapatuttu has any reason to lie either. So I can assure you that there must be a way that our games don't have game breaking errors.
