Hi. I downloaded the new EA App as it seems that at the end of the year the old Origin app is not going to be anymore. And when I tried to run Dragon Age Origins from my library it tells me the following message:"Your game failed to launch. An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later".No matter if I repair the game, uninstall the game and download the game again. It always gives me the same error.Any help with this?.

right click the executable and disable the run as as admin compatibility.

@JanRosencrantz I'm having this same issue. Downloaded the EA App and can't open DA: O.

Could you please provide a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

Thanks for the posts. I was able to download and play without issue on the EA app, which will make this trickier to lock down, but I think it might be relared to game version.

Do you recall when/where you acquired the game in the first place. Are you using the old standard edition or the newer Ultimate Edition?

Thanks.

Hi @EA_David
My DA:O is a physical standard copy from 12 years ago more or less. One that came with 2 CD-Roms and the Stone Prisoner DLC. I remember transferring that copy with the serial number to Origin. Where I bought the rest of DLC.
I uninstalled EA app, and installed again Origin, and the game is working fine through Origin app.
What I'm worried about is that if in the future the old app is gonna be discontinued, I want to have access for what I paid for.
Hopefully there would be a fix for this old versions. Or maybe with our serial numbers, we could have access to a newer version that works with the new App.

Thanks!.

Jfyi, you can have Origin and EA App installed on the same system without a problem, you just can't run them at the same time.

I didn't know that. Like when I installed EA app, it automatically uninstalled Origin, I thought that I cannot have both of them at the same time.

For now on. I'll keep Origin for DA:O and EA app for the rest of the games.

Thanks for the info! 🙂

I'm having this same problem, and changing the "run as administrator" flag on the app doesn't seem to help
