Which DLC? Which locations? (Some don't appear until you accept a side quest, or talk to certain NPCs.)

Also having this issue. Bonus items are showing up (Embri's Many Pockets) etc, but Levi Dryden doesn't show up in camp even though the quest is there for me to set up camp and wait for him (which I did once past Lothering). Also Sulcher's Pass is not there on the map.I recently reinstalled DA:O. Last time I played was before EA released Origin, and everything worked fine then even with many, many mods. Now running vanilla game plus DLC, no mods, no dice. Very disappointed.Tried all the fixes that the OP listed from the EA help site.

Did anybody ever find a reliable solution to this? I am having exactly the same problem right now. Last year I added the CD keys for my game to Origin, downloaded it and all of my DLC, and played through all of it from start to finish with no problems. I just replaced the hard drive I had all my games on so I had to reinstall and now my DLC doesn't work.I've been searching online for hours, found the same links as the OP, tried all of those solutions and still nothing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything several times. Last night I uninstalled again and reinstalled from my original game disks instead of origin. As before, all of my bonus items are present, all of my DLC quests say they are installed, authorized, and enabled but none of them show up on my world map and Levi is NOT in my camp. Seriously starting to piss me off.

Exact same issue. I've even had the cut event for the meteorite ore, but Levi Dreyden isn't in camp, and there's no location for the Stone Prisoner thing.

Oh, seems I forgot the main relevant parts. Warden's keep and The stone prisoner. It's been a while since I played DAO, but as I recall it, the Stone prisoner should add a location on the west side of the map after Lothering when you can move around freely. Not quite as sure about the keep,.but I thought that would start maybe in party camp.

Dragon Age Origins - DLC locations not showing on map

1. installed game

2. launched it

3. did not see my DLC in the menu

4. quit game

5. found it on the net as downloadable -.zip-something

6. downloaded and ran DAO-something.exe to install it.

7. launched game

8. DLC appears as unauthorized (while being logged in)

9. updates game to 1.05

10 DLC shows as authorized and enabled.

11. start playing - blood armor shows up in inventory.

12. A while into the game I start googling since I can't find those locations I am past Lothering.

13. Find "solutions" on this forum where little information seems to have anything in common with how things look for me. See below

Solutions found, tried and failed from http://answers.ea.com/t5/Dragon-Age-Origins/SOLUTIONS-UNAUTHORIZED-DLC-or-MISSING-DLC/m-p/470470/highlight/true#M1204

1. Start Dragon Age updater service. It's reported as running

2. net start DAUpdaterSvc - reports as running

3. stop DAUpdater. Delete a score of files and folders, such as manifest.xml, addins.xml. Everything found and deleted, although the path for all users differed (mine was: Users/All Users/BioWare/... rather than Docs&Settings/All Users/Application Data/BioWare/... but I guess that's simply due to the fact that Microsoft keep moving these folder locations around) Then restart DAUpdater.

When I click view online profile I get to a web page (http://social.bioware.com/playerprofile.php?sku=dragonage1_pc&path=/dragonage/playerprofile/en-us) stating

"Profile Not Found

The requested player does not have any Dragon Age data uploaded."

and below that a button

"alzahk's Profile" -> which when clicked takes me to my profile at http://social.bioware.com/playerprofile.php?sku=dragonage1_pc&nid=2303811043 (which in turn seems to do me no good, but I include it to give as complete info as I can)

Back to the previous page with the button, there is also a menu item "My Games" shows Dragon Age Origin, which takes me to the same page as the button.

Oh and the game runs fine in all other regards btw.

Thankful for assistance

regards

I have a similar problem, in that the DLC does not appear in game. That is, it does not show up as Available, Downloading or Installed Content. I've followed the steps mentioned in the posts above and unfortunately nothing has been resolved.
I also have the same problem when logging in while in the game - it says the user name and password are incorrect, but shows me logged in on the lower left hand corner :/
I would also really appreciate any help on this matter.

Having the same issues with the Stone Prisoner and Warden's Keep
Had to manually install all the DLC and finally got them to show as installed. I see the blood armor, I got the CE stuff I have the quest in my log to talk to Levi Drydem about warden's keep, but he is not anywhere in my camp. I've played this DLC last year and I know where he is supposed to be.

Also, there is no sulcher's pass on my map.

I'm patched to 1.05. tried all the "solutions" that I have found on these forums.
the service is running,

I have a theory: this may have to do with the migration to Origin client. I notice in my game that I have all the DLC installed, but on Origin when I look up the game info, it only shows Feastday Gifts installed. I'm going to attempt to find the product codes for all of my DLC purchases and add them to Origin. Will report on findings.
