Re: [Old Report] Steam - Installing The Black Emporium

@MonopolyLegend;  I always say, "Follow the money."

In this case, your money went to Valve, so talk to them.  That's where the responsibility to make you a happy customer lies.  If you're not satisfied with what they delivered for your money, get a refund and go to another merchant who can deliver the goods.  (There is one, you know...) That's all I meant.

@ThandalNLymanSure, that works great if you ignore the majority of the problems I listed. Have fun with your head in the sand.

Been using EA/Origin since release for all EA games.  Used under Win7, Win8, Win8.1, Win10, Win 10 up-through v2004.  Haven't had any issues with ANY of the DLC, (or with the dozen-to-scores of mods I've installed for those games) across either the DA-series (DAO, DA2, DA:I) or the ME-series (ME, ME2, ME3, ME:A,)

So who's head is stuck in the sand on which beach?

Hello, sorry I still don't fully understand the process of compressing and finding the Local file? do i have to use some software or will turning it into a compressed (zipped) file do. This question may sound stupid but I don't know what I'm doing.  

would also like help lol

Sorry for necroing a 3 year old thread but I ran into the same issue with the EA launcher. It's fascinating how this issue persisted for over 12 years and across 3 different EA launchers, but MonopolyLegend's solution still works.

You need a compression software (7-Zip, WinZip etc) for this to work. Here is how it works with 7-Zip:

1. Download and install 7-Zip.
2. Download the Black Emporium DLC from EA's link - https://help.ea.com/au/help/faq/dlc-for-classic-games/
3. Right click the .exe file and "Open Archive" with 7-Zip.
4. Open the "$_2_" folder. There should be an "addins" folder here.
5. In your Steam library, right click Dragon Age II > Manage > Browse Local Files. This opens the game's install directory (something like ...steamapps\common\Dragon Age II).
6. Drag and drop the "addins" folder from the 7-Zip window to the game's install directory.

That's it, the DLC should now be installed.
