DAO not able find my save files

Question

I have recantly bought and built a new computer and I tried&nbsp;to export&nbsp;&nbsp;my old saved game files of draon age origins to the new computer but it is not working properly. First, on my old computer I located my save files, copied them and uploaded them to google drive for easy storage. Then on my new computer I downloaded my old files, installed drgon age origins via steam, launched and closed the game and then placed my save files&nbsp;in the save game location. However the game only finds one of my two characters when I press "load game". &nbsp;

@Yogieeeeeee&nbsp;Hey, so its showing one of your transferred characters? If that's the case then it sounds like you've moved everything, but you might want to double-check for the "missing" character.
If all of this is ok, you might want to double-check that all your DLC is downloaded, I know there are some restrictions when you try to play on a character which attempts to play on a version of the game with less DLC than was on its initial install.&nbsp;

Thanks, I hope this helps with getting this cleared up.&nbsp;

I'm having the same problem. My computer crashed and I had to backup and restore. I have all the save files from before the crash. I can see the character portraits with all the armour I collected. I started playing new Wardens to see if it was an issue with having multiple characters. But no -- I have no trouble switching between the Wardens I started after the reinstall, but still can't touch the Warden I had before.All my save folder&nbsp;are in the same place&nbsp;-- both the ones the load game can find and the ones that it can't.All my DLCs are installed.

Yes, one transferred character shows up (the one named Elrin) while the other the other one (Eirik) can not be found.

I have double checked and all the files are there. Eirik1,2 should be saves on the same character from Origins, Awakening and witch hunt. Picture 1 are my character folders.

Since I have the ultimate edition via steam I should I have all DLC and everything is supposed to installed automatically. Picture 3 shows DLC from within the game

Picture 2 shows how it looks when I try to access the character from within the game.

Strangely enough Dragon Age Keep pics up my missing character.

Could it be the missing mod, which I haven't added to this new installation?

Is there any DLC which needs to be downloaded from a website, something that is not automatically added?

All DLC should be included, but it sometimes doesn't work as it should.&nbsp;You can try checking here for your DLC too:&nbsp;https://social.bioware.com/page/da1-dlc
