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.
Hi I bought the DA2 online from Origin online store, and after I have upgraded my system replacing win xp to win 7 ultimate 64, and download it.
As like the others here. The launcher.xml is missing.
- The "Launcher" is not part of the game, and is no longer included with the EA/Origin download version.
What are you trying to do that you think you need it? (The only thing I know of is when installing the Hi-Res Texture Pack. And there's a work-around if that's the issue.)- Approved
Hello Thandal.
The Black Emporium DLC for Dragon Age 2 I've tried to install recently (within the last few days) is not installing as it does not recognize Dragon Age 2 as being installed.
After some looking around, it seems that the launcher is required for the DLC to recognize the game is installed.
As such, without the launcher file, the Black Emporium DLC will not install.
