Dragon Age Inquisition mods not working? I am using Frosty Mod Manager and have the file path as F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition which is where the game is installed but non of the mods I have imported and applied are working. Anyone have any idea on how I can get mods working?
If your answer to #1 is yes, your game is with EA desktop, or is with steam but launches via EA desktop, then you have multiple options here. either use the frosty fix program, or use the datafix path plugin (intructions on using said plug-in here.) or you can go to tools > options > launch options, tick platform launching on, then select EA desktop as the platform, though for some people they experience issues with this causing the game to get stuck on "waiting for platform", so, if you have issues with that you can always untick that and use the other methods instead.
For #2, every time you want to see your mods in game, you should launch the game via the "launch" button in the top middle of the frosty mod manager. If you launch from anywhere but this button, your mods will not load.
For #3, if you've ever used the dai mod manager before, the merged mods folder for that mod manager can still remain even after repairing the game and this folder will override your frosty mods, causing them not to work. There is a solution, though - I'll spoiler it so it doesn't take up too much space:
start by finding the dai merged mods folder in your dragon age installation folder, OP's path will be F:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch_ModManagerMerge.
but for other users, these are the common paths for the game, depending on where you got the platform from:
for steam users: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch_ModManagerMerge.
for origin users: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch_ModManagerMerge.
for EA desktop users - aka the EA beta app or gamepass (?): C:\Program Files\EA Games\Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch_ModManagerMerge.
open this folder, and within it, you will find a file called package.mft.
If you get the "waiting for platform" message when platform launching is enabled for EA desktop in frosty mod manager, you can try disabling platform launching within frosty and instead either using the frosty fix program, or, you can use the data fix plugin from here, here are instructions for using the data fix plugin.
If your answer to #1 is yes, your game is with EA desktop, then in frosty mod manager you need to go to tools > options > launch options, tick platform launching on, then select EA desktop as the platform. If you get stuck on a "waiting for platform" message after this, untick platform launching again, and either use the frosty fix program to solve this issue instead, or use the datapath fix plugin (intructions on using said plug-in here.)
