Dragon Age: Inquisition is a very populargame, which received numerous praises for story,graphics, etc.
But at the same time, thegamealso received numerous critics from users and testers for its various technical issues.
Users are constantly complaining about the problems in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and we’re going to try to solve at least some of them.
So if you’re also experiencing problems with Dragon Age: Inquisition on yourWindows 10PC, we hope this article will be at least of some help.
How do I fix Dragon Age: Inquisition errors on Windows 10?
1.DirectXcrashes while playing game
If you receive an error which says that DirectX causes problems, just simply reinstall it. Also, if you didn’t update your graphics card drivers, DirectX might conflict with it.
The first solution is to check if your graphics card driver is up-to-date. For that, we recommend you a great tool to automatically download all the outdated drivers on your PC.
Outbyte Driver Updater
2. World state saves from the Keep are not importing
This error might occur if you’re not properly signed to servers. So make sure you’re properly connected to both Origin and BioWare servers, and try to import your saves once again.
Also, there’s a possibility that your antivirus software is blocking the access, so go to your antivirus program, and exclude antivirus protection from Origin.
Since Origin is a certified platform, you should not fear about your security, even if the antivirus is disabled for it.
3. Graphics card issues in Dragon Age: Inquisition
A lot of issues in thegamecould be caused by the graphics card, like stuttering, freezing, hitching, crashing, terrible FPS, and more.
Some users suggest that using Origin ingamecan cause the problem withgraphics. So, try disabling it, and check if the problem still appears.
If you’re using anNVidiaGPU, maybe your graphics card is overheating, and that causes problems with thegame.
So, check out your GPU temperature with programs likeGPU Temp, and if the temperature is higher than 65-70 degrees, try increasing a fan speed.
4. Black screen issues in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Some users suggest that the problem with black screen can be solved by toggling thegameinto windowed mode.
To do so, just pressAlt + Tab, and after that, switch thegameback to full screen mode, and the black screen problem should be solved.
5. Players spawning under the world in multiplayer
This is another commonly reported issue that often bothers players of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
EA still doesn’t have a proper solution for this problem, as it advises players to just exit the match, and try to log in again. Although the company promised a fix, users are still facing this bug.
6. Avoid Patches
This might sound unreasonable, sincepatchesare being released to actually solve bugs and issues, but many users reported that certain issues occurred after installing apatch.
So sometimes, the best option is to actually avoid apatch. To prevent Dragon Age: Inquisition from installing apatch, just follow the above steps.
Next time you launch thegame, you will be able to play it without installingupdates.
However, if you have already installed apatch, you can try to roll back to theoriginalversion of thegame, and see if the error that bothered you when thepatchwas installed still occurs.
