camwynEarlier this year I finally got around to building the gaming computer I'd wanted for some time. It isn't for high end power gaming. It's for playing older games with whatever the hell mods I want.
I am learning that installing whatever the hell mods I want can be tricky and weird. Last night was Dragon Age Inquisition, and the majority of mods at Nexusmods appear to have been created for a mod manager that's no longer being updated or supported by its creator, so I'm doing what I can with a different manager called Frosty. Which... would not be a problem except that when I start Frosty, both the EA app and Steam start up and both of THOSE think they, in particular, are supposed to be what starts the game running. Also EA insists on me logging in every. single. time. even though I have the box checked saying 'keep me logged in'.
At the moment it appears that I have to start the game from Frosty, and when Frosty starts saying 'waiting for dragonageinquisition' I then hit Launch or Start or whatever in EA to start the game. It's loaded at least one mod, because I installed one that changes the game's typeface from that copperplate gothic whatever to the same type used in Dragon Age: Origins- and gives it the ability to use both capital AND lowercase letters. Next time I load it I have to see if the other mods are working too.
