Every Time the Origin Client Starts, Dragon Age II Patches the "Mage Item Pack"

Every time I start Origin, it attempts to patch the Dragon Age II add-on item "Mage Item Pack." The pack is installed and the items are in game, but Origin verifies and installs the "Mage Item Pack"...

Does it help if you delete this pack and redownload? Perhaps this will break the broken verification loop.

Neither "Delete" nor "Uninstall" are options with the DA DLC intalled via EA/Origin, David.

The only ones available are "Update", and "Repair". Tried both, as well as "Repair" for the entire game.

Nothing changed. Still get the message: "Installation Complete (Mage Item Pack)" every time I start EA/Origin.

And there is no way to remove the DLC without knowing the exact folder/file names assigned by BioWare.

The full list of DA2 "\addIns" folders is:

da2_mtx_000
da2_mtx_001
da2_mtx_002
da2_mtx_003
da2_mtx_acp
da2_mtx_mag
da2_mtx_rog
da2_mtx_war
da2_prc_drk
da2_prc_eye
da2_prc_one
da2_prc_seb
da2_pro_col
da2_pro_fut01
da2_pro_fut02
da2_pro_fut04
da2_pro_fut06
da2_pro_fut07
da2_pro_fut08
da2_pro_fut10
da2_pro_fut11
da2_pro_pip

Now, does the folder "\da2_mtx_mag" contain the "Mage Pack", or the "Mage Pack II", or something else altogether?

And even if that's the right folder, would "deleting" it solve the problem, or just create a bigger one?

I am also having this problem. Any idea why it's happening or a way to stop it?
I suppose it's harmless, but annoying nonetheless.

  Same here,
  I also completely unistall and reinstall the game but that doesn't solve the problem.
