DA:O Ultimate Edition - Feastday Gifts DLC Download Error

A little background on this - I've been having serious issues with my DA:O game constantly crashing. In my attempts to fix that issue, one of the things I tried was uninstalling and reinstalling the game through the EA desktop app. This worked fine once, but the crashing issue was still persisting so after a few other attempted fixes, I decided to try uninstalling and reinstalling again. However, now I'm having issues with one of the DLCs, Feastday Gifts. All other DLCs have installed with no issue, but when I attempt to install Feastday Gifts, I get a "Download error" at 14% and cannot seem to resolve the issue. I have already tried the following suggested solutions found online:

  • Cleared EA app cache
  • Canceled download and restarted
  • Used DA:O Mod Manager to uninstall the Feastday Gifts and then reattempted install
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the full game

Nothing seems to work, no matter what I do, the Feastday Gifts DLC download is stuck at 14%. Any suggestions?

Note: currently do not have any mods installed

  • I am having the same problem. No matter what I do, I can't get Feastday Gifts to download. It says download error at 14% during the preparing phase of the download. I did not have the same issue with Feastday Pranks. I did have the same issue with Leliana's Song, but that resolved itself after like an hour or two. I also do not have any mods installed and it was a fresh download of the game, as I just bought it for my computer yesterday. In Bodhan's shop, I have the "Sugar Cake" and "Thoughtful Gift" items available for purchase alongside the character specific pranks, but not the generic prank items, the "Rotten Onion" and "Lump of Charcoal".

    @Rodarolla2 @cb4570cb Hey this is a larger issue with the app and not just DAO. I wanted to reach out and see if you were still having this issue.

    I did manage to get Feastday Gifts downloaded, but I started having the same problem when repairing the game, but with different DLC: Awakening, Witch Hunt, and The Golems of Amgarrak. When repairing the game, those three DLC give me the download error at 14% of the preparing phase that I had with the Feastday Gifts.

    @Rodarolla2 Gotcha yeah that is a part of a larger issue. Check out the link here. There are a lot of steps that have helped players but there is not a one step that has fixed everyone.

    @Rodarolla2 So I did eventually get Feastday Gifts downloaded too and then had the same issue when I tried to repair the game. However, I just canceled the repairs for the DLCs that were giving errors and then game loaded just fine with all DLCs installed and working properly. I'm still having crashing issues, which I'm working through in a different thread, but the DLC issue seems to be fixed.
