I made some tests while obviously trying to launch the game through frosty manager, checking mods one by one and also without any mod activated and simply the game doesn’t launch no matter what I do.
the game through origin launches fine though.
I don’t know what could be, I don’t have permission issues and I also excluded frosty and inquistion folders in my antivirus (i’m using kaspersky)
any help?

I’m having the same issue. I’ve set admin permission for DAI, Frosty and Origin, and have even tried disabling all mods. Whenever I try to launch the game using frosty mod manager, it gives no errors, boots up origin, starts opening DAI process, but the game never actually starts.
Checking the task manager, there is an instance of DAI open — which prevents me from launching another using origin (which says the game is running) or frosty — but never actually loads.
I’ve tried it with no mods, I’ve tried reinstalling DAI, and I’ve tried downloading a new version of frosty. No dice.
Anyone have any experience with this?

Found an unpleasant, but seemingly effective workaround. If you delete the «ModData» folder every time you alter your modlist, Frost MM will regenerate the folder when you next try to launch through it. Then everything works as it should.
Apparently, the ModData folder wasn’t deleted when I uninstalled DAI, which I probably should have realized.

This is the only thing that works for me, too.

…what a mess. But now that I’m returning to this game and experiencing these never-before issues, this is the only solution that thus-far has worked for me. Thank you for that.
I’m truly baffled by this. I know it could be worse, but I would love to know the reasoning behind it all and address it with a less-exhausting solution.

Frosty not working for me either, only got 3 mods in frosty and it sits stuck at ‘applying mods’ which never completes once I hit launch. Using 1.0.5.1, they’re activated in the right pane so no clue what it’s doing. Tried deleting the mod data file and that was no help. It’s a real shame MO2 doesn’t work for this game.

i stuck in applying mods too but i figure it out, not sure it work for you and anyone else, if you backup your PATCH folder in UPDATE folder even you change your name —backup— or stuff that will make frosty mod manager not launching, you need to change your —backup— folder to another folder away from UPDATE folder
example your backup folder:
DAI\Update\—backup— ( this will make frosty wont lauching )
need to change —backup— to another folder
DAI\—backup—
you good to go, hope this help people in future

ok so the work around does not work for me at all. i deleted the ModData Folder and then tried to launch the game it does its start up and then nothing. both the game and frosty are set to Run as Admin so i am getting extremley fustrated!!! i have uninstaled the game twice and reinstalled.
does anyone have any info on this
Hi all
I’m hoping someone here can help. I’ve used DAI Inquisition mods before but not Frosty ones, but I can’t get game to launch via Frosty mod manager. Ideally I’d love to play with both DAI and frosty mods but get confused about how to do this so I decided to just try Frosty mods.
I upload my mods, install them into frosty press launch and get the ‘new installation detected’, then I get a message saying ‘one or more symbolic links could not be created, please re-start tool as administrator I click ok and everything closes down. I’ve tried loading it as administrator, it makes no difference. I googled a lot and one suggestion to this error (I’m not the only one with it) suggested moving to another drive, which I’ve done, again no difference. I’ve loading with all my mods, then just a couple, I always get the same message. Can anyone give me any suggestions what I’m doing wrong? I just really want to try frosty mods! Thanks
DAI/MEA Frosty Troubleshooting
Some of these fixes will likely work for other games too, but the main goal of this Troubleshooting is for Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect Andromeda
Fixes can be found under the Keep Reading. This is so I can add new fixes as we learn them.
Modders/Mod Users if you have anyone ask about an error that has a fix here, you can link to this post. On nexus use [url=link to post]Troubleshooting Fixes Found Here[/url] either telling them the exact part that could be a fix or in general
If you know of any fixes please do tell me and I will add them. Thank you
Where can I download Frosty Mod Manager?
Here under downloads
First and foremost:
Frosty Errors are better reported to the Frosty Discord (a link can be found on the Frosty site linked at the top of this post, where it says Join the Community) as they can better help with Frosty issues.
You can also check errors that pop up with this Error Compendium by munchyfly, electricfish and GalaxyMan2015 click this text to use link
But here is the most commons fixes:
- Do not extract Frosty Mod Manager in your game directory
- It does not need to be put into a folder in your game directory to work
- Please do not add to Program Files folders as this has been known to cause a lot of issues
- Make sure you Run Frosty as administrator. sometimes you also have to add admin to the game exe as well for it to work. For example when using Reshade it is best to add admin rights to the game exe not just for reshade to work as it is a fix for when that doesn’t work but also because it can clash with Frosty Mod Manager
- To do this on Windows you right click on the game exe > Properties > Compatibility > Tick box next to ‘Run this program as an administrator’ > Hit apply
- If applying admin doesn’t work try taking ownership (click this text for a tutorial on how to do this) of the game folder and frosty mod manager/editor folder
- .7z files must be unzipped. Then import the mods you got from the.7z
- daimm mods for DAI must be unzipped in order to import into Frosty Mod Manager
- Make sure you are using the latest Frosty Mod Manager/Editor and to delete the Mod Data Folder found in your game directory so the new Manager/Editor can create a new one.
- When using a new Frosty Mod Manager/Editor make sure you are creating a new folder or deleting the contents before putting the new one in that folder. Do not just override as this can cause issues You can keep the Mods folder in Frosty Mod Manager folder but everything else should be deleted and not overridden
What/Where is the .archive file with the mod I downloaded?
- The lastest Mods do not require a .archive file so are fine to load straight into Frosty Mod Manager
- If you try importing a mod that requires a.archive it will show up this error ‘Archive contains no installable mods ‘
- To fix this you have to add the.archive found in the zip to your Mod folder in your Mod Manager folder for example: FrostyModManager_v1.0.5.9\Mods
- If you try to run a mod where you didn’t put the .archive into the folder above it will give you this error ‘Value cannot be null. Parameter name: buffer’
- In which case add the .archive to your mods folder in your Mod Manager folder
The hair/outfit mod isn’t showing:
- Make sure you are running the game at Ultra settings as most mods only affect LOD 0 which needs mesh settings set to Ultra to work.
- Make sure you don’t have any mods conflicting with the Hair/Outfit Mod this includes any texture mods that affect the same files
- For DAI this includes any mods you are using through DAIMM if you are using that and Frosty together.
- For DAI if you are using Enhanced Inquisitor Sliders please make sure you are using the latest update of the mod for Frosty Hairs to be compatible with the mod.
- In general always make sure you are using the latest version of a mod
- If you used DAIMM in the past and only using Frosty now follow steps below
The ‘bundle’ mod I am using I think is causing infinite load:
- First what is a bundle mod? A bundle mod is a mod that adds bundles to other areas to make certain files work in other areas such as outfit/hair/swap companion mods that aren’t imported meshes
- Check to see you don’t have any conflicting mods
- It could be the latest version of Mod Manger/Editor is the cause.
- How do you check this? Use an earlier version you have I had to go as far back as v1.0.5.5 to get some bundle mods working again. An example would be my Inquisitor Alistair mod that causes infinite load when you meet Vivinene now (15/04/2020) in Mod Manager but still works in version v1.0.5.5
- Sadly using earlier versions does mean new Frosty mesh mods won’t work, so you will have to choose which mods are most important to you at the moment sadly
I just bought DLC and it isn’t showing in game:
- When you buy DLC for whatever game you’re using for Frosty you need to delete the ModData folder found in your game directory and let Frosty Mod Manager/Editor create a new one
- This is because your existing ModData was made when you didn’t have the DLC and won’t register that you have new DLC without being deleted and allowed to be made anew
- This also applies to DAIMM for DAI if you bought DLC you will have to restart the process of applying mods.
Textures Glitching or causing infinite load?
- In MEA there has been occasions where textures Glitch this can be due to bundle mods. Sadly other than turning off the bundle mod there is no fix. But if you don’t mind occasional texture Glitch in MEA you should be fine.
- Below is now mainly for DAI
- Companion texture mods are the most common to glitch and cause infinite load along with the elvhen textures
- But Inquisitor complexions have been known to Glitch as well, those that glitch are better applied to Slot 1 texture or you use this Aileani’s Hair Replacer Bundle file as it can fix the texture issues for the Inquisitor’s complexions in Frosty. Alternatively you can use the file called Chargen Bundle found in this mod page and if you’re just having issues in the DLC with textures and/or hair this mod can fix your issues
- The texture mods for companions are best used in DAIMM using the workaround to use both programs together.
What DAIMM mods work when importing into Frosty Mod Manager?
- First DAIMM mods must be unzipped in order to drag or import the Mods into Frosty Mod Manager
- They will say ‘WARNING: Mod was designed for a different patch version’ but you can ignore this message as for DAI and MEA they work even when made for an older patch.
- Texture mods can be finnicky see above about ‘Textures Glitching’
- A lot of configurable mods now work in Frosty but if you find any issues it is best to use them in DAIMM
- Mods that are EBX edits work also fine in Frosty
- Mesh Mods (edits to outfits/hairs) are fine to use in Frosty unless they include a texture in which case they can glitch so may be best used in DAIMM or using the fix found in ‘Textures Glitching’
Did you previously use DAIMM + Frosty together and want to use Frosty only?
- Go to your game directory Dragon Age Inquisition/Update and delete the Patch folder and put your backup of the Patch folder back in the Update folder. Do not just override as this can cause issues
- If you didn’t make a backup Patch folder after deleting the Patch folder repair your game
Did you previously only use DAIMM and want to use Frosty Only?
- Delete the Patch_ModManagerMerge folder found in Dragon Age Inquisition/Update
- Now you are good to go to setting up Frosty
Using Frosty and game complaining you haven’t got the latest Patch for your save game?
- This is because you likely used that save with the DAIMM and that increases the patch number. To fix this issue do the following:
- Edit the package.mft file found here: Dragon Age Inquisition\Update\Patch changing the Patch number first to 13 if you still get same error keep adding 1 to the number until your save works. So 13, 14, 15 etc
- If the issues persist make sure your Package.mft found in the Mod Data folder matches the package.mft in your standard Update/Patch folder
- Alternatively delete the ModData folder and let Frosty recreate it
Do you want to still use DAIMM and Frosty together but having issues?
If you want to add new mods or remove some from DAIMM then follow the steps found above under ‘Did you previously use DAIMM + Frosty together and want to use Frosty only?’ as if you were going to use Frosty only and then start the below steps for using DAIMM and Frosty together again.
How to use DAIMM and Frosty together:
These instructions are copy and pasted from the dai modding server
- Ensure you have merged all daimods that you want to use
- Delete any folder called ModData in the Inquisition install directory
- Navigate to the Update folder where Inquisition is installed
- Cut and paste the Patch folder to a safe location
- Rename Patch_ModManagerMerge to Patch
- Run Frosty Mod Manager and let it set up
- Enable any Frosty mods, then Launch the game from Frosty.
For steam users wanting to use a combination of daimm and frosty follow the above steps then the next steps.
- Quit the game after launching from frosty mod manager
- Launch FrostyFix
- Under Select Game choose Dragon Age Inquisition
- Under Select Platform choose Steam
- Click launch with Mods Enabled
- Now launch through Steam
- If you add any mods to Frosty Mod Manager begin the process again from these steps. If adding a mod to dai mod manager start from “Ensure you have merged all daimods that you want to use”
Using Steam version of DAI with Frosty
So the steam versions of Frosty games do need a workaround however it is more than possible to still mod DAI with frosty. Frosty fix is the required tool for steam users wanting to use frosty for their games. Video tutorial

1 Answer. According to this (and my own experience removing mods), the files are not actually removed. They still exist in the games folder. You have to go in and manually remove them yourself.

Note, if you’re using separate save-games per profile these are not directly compatible between Vortex and MO2. It’s not going to be an automated process, but it’ll be worth the time and effort.

Click one mod in Vortex, then press Ctrl + A, then click “Reinstall” from the action bar at the bottom.
