We would like you to try the following:
I. Documents
1. Shut down the game
2. Wait 5 minutes for the DAUpdater to shut down.
3. Go to your Documents folder and into “BioWare\Dragon Age\”
4. Delete the “AddIns” and “Offers” folders.
5. Go into the “Settings” folder.
6. Delete the following files:
- addins.xml
- offers.xml
- Profile.dap
II. Game
7. Go to the game install folder (by default C:\ Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age\)
8. Delete the “AddIns” and “Offers” folders.
III. DAUpdater
9. Go to the DAUpdater data folder (C:\ProgramData\BioWare\Dragon Age\DAUpdater\)
10. Delete the “Data” and “Info” folders.
At this point, all traces of DLC and DLC download attempts should be gone from the system. You should be able to re-launch the game, log in, and redownload the DLCs.
We would also ask you to Flush your DNS cache again.
To do that:
- First hold the windows key on your keyboard and press the R key.
- When the run window appears type CMD into the box and press enter.
- When the CMD window opens type ipconfig /flushdns.
When you have done this correctly, you should see the message "Successfully flushed the DNS resolver cache".
Let us know if that worked.
Thanks!
Heh, do you guys even test this stuff? This broke my installation and I've had to reinstall it yet again. My DLC still fails to install.
Reposting from the thread I created before checking forums.
Bought the game on Steam summer sale. Authorized DLC on my Origin account. When I enter the game the DLC shows up but when I try to download it won't start and says "Download Failed" I've restarted the game multiple times. And my Steam account says the game is fully updated so don't think it's an update compatibility issue.
Windows 7 64 bit OS.
Okay folks I have solved my issue and have this working now. Note this is for a Win7 PC version. I bought all of the DLC back in 2009/10 when I 1st played the game. After losing my disks and recently buying a new online download from Amazon I couldn't get my DLC to work. None of the solutions posted here and elsewhere on DLC known issues worked.
Instead, I used the manual process to install all of my DLC. 1st you download the DAZIP files of the content and then you use the daupdater tool to manually install it.
Here is a link with instructions on how to use the daupdater tool and links to download the DLC content DAZIP files. Make sure you download and install the DAZIP files for each DLC you purchased and NOTA BENE: for the quests there are 2 files! DLC file AND a corresponding OFFER file, get both. I had not done this at first and it was showing my content as enabled but the quests never triggered on the map. Items, like Blood Dragon Armor only have on file.

Hope this helps
Thanks! It is working now. I downloaded Offer file from Wiki and tried to install manually again with this file. Sulcher Pass quest has appeared immediately in game.
the manual download worked out great
thanx a bunch
maybe EA should hire you ^_^
I am trying to download all of my paid for additional games re Dragon Age Origins and I get the message " Download failed" on every one of the several games I have available for downloading.
