Dragon Age III: Inquisition Message Board  

Hi all,

Has anyone else got fed up with waiting for agent actions to complete before they can advance another mission?

I tested this work around, and it worked:

Lets say your 3 agents are working on really long missions (say 20 hours each).

1. Save your game then quit to main menu.
2. Unplug your internet.
3. Alt-Tab then set your system clock a day or so ahead.
4. Go back to Dragon Age Inquisition and reload your game.

All the missions will now have been completed, so you can get on with other missions. Save again and you can put your clock back to normal & reconnect to the internet.

I hope someone finds this useful! Keep up the good work CH.

It's been posted on some threads, but there's been no step by step like this. However you don't need to exit to the main menu.

Simply leave the war room, pause, alt-tab, change day (by clicking on the next day then "OK" ) or change hour if you prefer. Alt tab back into the game, unpause, confirm missions have been completed by the text that shows up at the bottom left. Pause. Change time back. Save, go back into war room. The whole process takes around 20 seconds for me, and I have done it quite a few times.

You also do not have to "unplug your internet" because even if you have your clock to sync to microsoft, it will allow for user input.

Thanks! It's true what you're saying - also found that if you set your time back, it will then add the 'missing' time to the next mission. Not really that bad if you have got all the long quests out the way, or can leave the game a few days I suppose (if you really must reset your clock!).

I was unplugging the internet because of the Cloud syncing which I thought might interfere with time keeping.

You don't even have to leave the war room to do this.
- Enter war room
- Activate missions
- Alt tab
- Change clock forward a day
- Alt tab back in
They're done. No need to zone in or out. I've done a whole swathe of missions in one war room visit and ended up setting the clock forward almost a month doing this before I set the clock back to the current date.

However, this is important, you need to leave the war room and not have any war room missions running when you turn the clock back to the current date, otherwise when you go back in the missions will still be set to complete at the original time (So if you set time back a month, the missions you started will all be set to take a month to complete!).

This guy has it - I should have tested more before posting. Cheers QuintusFontane

Don't mention it, chief!

Even better, you don't need to keep your clock forward. Nudge it forward a day, ok it, and nudge it back. Your mission is complete and it won't screw you over when you set the time back. Your mission won't revert to in progress even if you revert the time back as long as the mission is accomplished.

Basically, pick a mission, tab, nudge forward a day, ok, nudge back to real day, tab, voila.
