Dragon Age 2 Launcher.xml is missing
Hi, I reinstalled DA2 from Origin download and was playing it until today. I patched the game with the 1.4 file from the Bioware social network page and now the game will not start. I've checked the...

Hi,
From what you've described, you started having problems after you acquired the patch from the Bioware Social Network? Can you try a couple of things for me to see if we can't get this solved for you?
- Can you try right clicking the game icon in Origin and selecting "Repair Install". This should repair any damaged files and correctly patch you up to 1.04. Once the repair is complete try launching directly from Origin.
- If that doesn't work, can you try uninstalling your game entirely and redownloading and installing through Origin? This should pull down the latest patched version of the game and allow you to get going without grabbing a patch from the Bioware social site.
In either case, the version of Dragon Age 2 you download from Origin should be the latest 1.04 version of the game. You should not need to download any patches via the Bioware Social Network. If you want to confirm you have the correct patch version, you can run the DragonAge2Config.exe from the bin_ship directory and select the "Game" tab. Your game version will be listed next to "DragonAge2.exe".
The launcher has been intentionally removed with the latest version of Dragon Age 2 delivered through Origin. In order to launch Dragon Age 2 you should run from the game icon within Origin, or by launching the DragonAge2.exe directly in the bin_ship directory.
Thanks for trying....but this does not work. I have done three complete uninstall/installs from Origin even going to far as to get another activation code. Absolute no go, no how, no way. It does not launch period. And this is far from frustrating....it's just plain bad business.

Not sure what you're asking/telling us here, lynmcd523...
This thread is about the DA2 Launcher and the fact that it stopped being a part of the EA/Origin install at all, and was removed from a player's current install, as a result of an EA/Origin update near the end of August.
There are ways to either a) Restore the Launcher (see my edited post above), or b) Start the game without the Lancher (see my edited post above.)
But you seem to have an entirely different problem in that you have NEVER had a working install of the game.
If that's the case, there are lots of other threads about how to get DA2 installed/working. But this isn't one of them. 😕mileyfrustrated:

Ok Ok after 3 days of tries i have finally made it to work...
Try this go to the Dragonage2config tool inside the game directory run it and go to video settings and change the directx to 9 (if it is 11 that was for me).
Now you should be able to play the game
Hope it helped

I tried this and it does not help. If there is a thread for a complete non working issue please link me to it.
