Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition - Crashing On Startup

@Nick2Sterling 

For setting affinity permanently: (GOG or Steam, will not work in EA app.)

• Go to your "....Dragon Age Origins\bin_ship\" folder.
• right click "DAOrigins.exe" > select "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)"
• right click the new "DAOrigins.exe - Shortcut" on your Desktop > "Properties"
• Delete anything in the "Target" line.
• Copy and paste: "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 DAOrigins.exe" (Without the quotes) into the "Target" line
• Click OK.
• Start the game from this shortcut and the affinity will be set automatically.

For the crash:

The game crashes with a standard Access Violation error code.

This means (in very simple terms) that the game or a component called by DAOrigins.exe is trying to perform an operation in memory that is not allowed.

Problem is that this can have any number of reason. Maybe a dump will bring more light into the problem:

• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• In the new Window, type or copy and paste "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) > Press ENTER
• Look if there are any "DAOrigins.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files in the "..Local\CrashDumps" folder.
• Zip 2 - 3 ""DAOrigins.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at a free file hosting service like Dropbox or Onedrive.
• Post the link here.

If there aren't any dump files of ME:

• Press the Windows key > Write: Command Prompt > Right click on "Command Prompt" in the search results > Run as administrator.
• Copy and paste reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe" /v DumpType /d 2 /t REG_DWORD into the prompt Window > Press ENTER.
• Play the game until it crashes.
• After the game crashes, let all Windows crash dialogues finish.
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. > Type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" (Without the quotation marks) into the new window > Press ENTER.
• Zip 2 - 3 "DAOrigins.exe.Xxxx.dmp" files together and upload them at file hosting service like Dropbox or you can use the Onedrive "public" folder.
• Post the link here.
  
  
  If you want to undo the automatic dump creation, use the command below in a elevated command prompt (As in point 1) reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps" /f
