fix for dlc content not showing up properly
so, long story short: today i encountered that dreaded issue where dlc content installed via origin doesn't show up properly - missing dialogues, missing item descriptions, all that jazz. i downloaded the installers manually, but they refused to cooperate, giving me the "dragon age 2 is not installed" error. i'm sure many people know exactly what i'm talking about.
and here's how i fixed the issue:
- i downloaded the installer files from https://help.ea.com/en-ca/help/origin/origin/download-dlc-for-classic-origin-games/#dragonage
- i opened them with 7zip (right click on the .exe file -> 7zip -> open archive)
- inside each archive, i navigate inside the $_2_ folder, to see the addins folder inside
- then i manually unzipped each and every addins folder into program files/origin games/dragon age 2, allowing it to overwrite all the pre-existing files.
and done! i haven't seen this exact solution anywhere on the internet, and i know people still sometimes struggle with getting the dlc content to fully work, so i thought i might as well share. 🙂
