Black screen after installing mods.

[Linkaer]

My game won´t load after installing mods to the game. It starts and the green diamond thing in the right bottom corner blinks, but nothing happens. And I have to force the game to close via taskmanager.

 

If i delete/disable the mods my game works fine. What am i doing wrong? Nobody else seems to have this problem, or I can´t find them.

 

And I know i can play without... but it would be nice to try the game with mods ;-)

 

So i have no idea how to close this post. Problem solved from another place!

How did you fix this because i am having the exact same problem?

[Scyila]

Did you update to Patch 6?

[xicoman100]

yeah i think so

I am also having this trouble. I downloaded the game through the Origin Clinet. I then right clicked on the game through the Origin Client and selected 'Check for Update'. It tells me the game is up to date. Now, I've used the mod manager to install the mods, however, the game freezes when trying to load it. Instead of renaming the folder to PatchV should I change it to PatchVI instead? Would that work?

Also having this problem. tried all the known fixes for DAI's blackscreen onloading that I could find. it's in compatibility mode, its in windowed mode, I have dx11 etc... and as soon as I change patch to merged, and vanillapatch to patch it works perfectly. Minus all the mods of course.

Yes, I am having the same problem with my game - merged patch results in freeze but vanilla patch works perfectly but no mods. Hopefully, our modders are working on the solution but see nothing here about it yet.

I'm having this problem too and was wondering if you tried enabling and disabling your mods one by one to find out if any of them work? I'm going through the process now and trying to decide if its a waste of my time or if I should just wait until the modders have updated their mods for patch 6.

Patch 6 Disables the use of mod, You have to downgrade to patch 5 Temporary in order to mod.

And the black screen was because of conflicting mods. I had more wartable materials and increased inventory. Got rid of more wartable and problem solved. As regarding to modding with patch 6:

 

 

Go into DAI directory. Delete all "loose" files, EXCEPT FOR the following folders and file:

__Install
Core
Data
Support
DragonAgeInquistion.exe

- Empty the Update Folder.

- Open up Origin and choose the Repair option for DAI. Origin will rebuild DAI directories.
- Load up your game with patch 6.
- Exit the game and rename the Patch Directory in Update to PatchVI
- Place a clean copy of patch 5 in the Update directory. Rename to Patch
- Mod patch 5 - Use Renmiri's Patch 5 method.
- Load up game

 

Renmin´s patch metode:

1) Delete 'Patch.daimod' from the modmanager v0.48a folder. (Skip if it's your first time modding) - IMPORTANT STEP - DO NOT MISS THIS

2) Use ModManager version 0.48 to merge your mods again. Save the modded merge to a folder named “Merged” or whatever else you liked

3) Rename the “Patch” folder in your game directory to “PatchV"

4) Rename your “Merged” folder you made on step 3 to “Patch”

5) Start the game

6) You will need “PatchV” if you want to merge more mods

7) to merge new mods: Delete the folder named “Patch” and make a copy of “PatchV” named “Patch”. Run steps 2-5 again.

 

Hope this helps
