technical-issues,dragon-age-inquisition – Fix “Content Still Installing” Issue for Missions at War Table in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Go to the Medieval 2 directory and you should see Launcher.exe and Medieval2.exe. If you open the second the game should start bypassing the launcher -just create a shortcut to desktop of that file for next games-.

If you are running it under Steam, just backup the original Launcher.exe file and rename Medieval2.exe to Launcher.exe, which is the file name Steam will launch.

Source: I did it in the past.

I did some online searching, and got some information. It seems this problem is universal across all platforms. I still haven't found a definite cause for this problem, (though some are generally blaming crappy game/DRM design) or any statement from BioWare, but the community has come up with a few workarounds. I've had success with two, and haven't really bothered with the third. But there are some claims of the third being fairly reliable.

1. (Maybe console-specific, or PS3-only.) Disable auto sign-on to the console's multiplayer network (e.g.: PSN, Xbox Live) and reboot. Or, just log off of the network before starting the game every time. If multiplayer functionality is desired, use the in-game menu to sign in to EA's servers and this should automatically prompt you to sign into your console's network also. This has worked well for me. I suppose the PC analogue would be to turn off Wi-Fi or unplug the network cable.

2. Enable auto sign-on to EA's servers within the game. (You may have to try options 1 or 3 first, to get into the game menu needed to tweak this option.) This has also worked for me, and comes with the added benefit that you can re-enable your console's auto sign-on function as well.

3. Wait approximately 30 seconds at the "Press START button" screen. Some users have reported good results with this. Since options 1 and 2 are working fine for me, I haven't personally tested it.
