Thanks, Mindgame26, everything seems up to date. But I still keep getting an ‘application hang’ error, whenever I try to run the game. Hoping the next patch helps, bummed I cannot try out the new Sorcerer class!
I had a really similar problem with Dragon Age 2 several years ago. Everything was up to date, so I checked with a friend who works for EA... I uninstalled and reinstalled the video and sound cards on his advice. Actually removed the hardware in Windows and the system bios. It's a pain, it took almost an hour... And it worked. He said sometimes something gets corrupted and the only solution is a clean install. But it's up to you. Good luck
