[no spoilers] DA:I infinite loading screen at startup

Support

Basically the title.. Never had any similar problem in the past.

Felt like giving it another playthrough, downloaded it yesterday from EA platform, downloaded a few mods, tested them out until char creation, worked fine and went to bed because it was late and wanted to start today.

Boom. Infinite loading screen/not responding. Tried running it with admin and it just gives a "couldn't start game" error. Ran it without mods/Frosty, still nothing. Ran it with frosty, same thing and frosty gets stuck at "Waiting for game". Repaired, nothing. It always starts windowed if that's of any help. Other times it reaches my cpu usage to literally 100% even though my specs can deal with much more demandanding high-end things.

1 or 2 times it started normally but nothing other than that. The only thing that's left is re-downloading and installing I guess?

Anything else to try? :) Thanks in advance.

What mods are you using? some may be incompatible with Frosty which can cause issues like this. Some must be ran with DAI Mod Manager or you must find a compatible version. The two managers can be run alongside each other but it's been a while since ive played.

you need to completely uninstall dai and reinstall it, then run it without the mods and see if it works. chances are good that a mod conflict messed up your game. once you have it working properly (you might need to move your save files to a separate location), then you can start to figure out what caused the issue.

When this happened to me, the file was corrupted and I had to load an earlier save

Are you using the 60 FPS cutscene tweak? I seem to recall that having issues with the start of the game. Usually have to wait to activate until you first gain control of the character.
