DAO and DAO Toolset Windows 11 Compatibility Update

I know people seem to think this is not possible and dead on arrival request. But if EA did it for Sims 1 and 2 last year, I think there is—though be it—a slim chance. I do not want a remaster, I just want to play and mod for this game on windows 11 without issues. And I do not want to lose my existing mods (made by me and made by other players)

As a player even with the 4GB LAA patch, runs so much worse on windows 11 vs. 10.

As a modder, when Builder to Builder Loading after a crash any existing file (I previously updated before windows 11), not only gives an error, but breaks the toolset preventing creation of new files. 

Though many fans/community are up for the challenge of fixing themselves, I think it is worth having an official update eventually.

Edit: My DAO background (in case for reference)

  • Hollowness on the Dragon Age Wiki with over 10k+ edits just for DAO content alone (editing as early as 2010)
  • HollownessDevoured on Nexus with almost 38k downloads (and only started modding in 2022 and been on break for about two years)

    There is literally no reason why the game should run worse on Windows 11 then 10. 
    All changes in the OS that are influencing older games where present in Windows 10 as well there is nothing in 11 that would influence DAO differently.
