How DO you get local copies of everything? I'm working with the original discs I got years ago, before Origin was a thing, so it's not really through Origin.
And how does all this stuff work in regards to Windows 8?
I'm so confused! 😕mileymad:
@jtbehnke;
To take your questions in reverse order,
a. Under Win8, the only things you have to know are to allow EA/Origin to "Run as Administrator", and set the game executable ("daorigins.exe") to run in "WinXP (SP3) Compatibility mode".
b. To get/keep local copies, go to your Player Entitlements Page on the BSN, and chose SAVE instead of RUN when you download each of the DLC for which you're eligible.
c. Oh, and if you haven't already, apply the 1.05 patch.

Thank you. I've been tearing my hair out with this stuff for the past few days. I'm unsure as to how to collect all the info for ease of reading and following. I've gotten as far as:
Step 1: Install Dragon Age: Origins.
Step 2: Install Dragon Age: Awakening.
Step 3: Apply the 1.05 patch.
Step 4: Download everything from the BSN Page, using Firefox, as some links don't work properly on Chrome, my normal browser.
Step 5: ?????
Step 6: Profit!
