Re: Awakening DLC Won't Download
Thank you, EA_Aljo, for having attention on this, and merging the posts.
Since we have your eyes on this let me ask about the accepted solution, from last August.
Seems there are two parts to it: one to make sure the AddIns.xml is consistent in two places; the other seems out of control of we the end users, if the suspicion about the dlc files on the server is accurate (removed, or moved).
On the XML piece, my user documents location is not the same path; as a OneDrive user the actual path is "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\OneDrive\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\", and not the posted "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\".
To test, I did create the solution's path and dropped a copy of the AddIns.xml file there, but the results are the same: The download of Awakenings stops at 21% with no actual files created. All three locations (game install folder, actual documents folder, and dummy-path documents folder) have the same AddIns.xml file, and the Awakenings DLC is listed at the top of the AddIns.
When I did a fresh install the base game installed fine. The AddIns folder is not created. I tried to download Awakenings, and the error occurs; no AddIns folder created. When I install any other DLC (Leliana'sSong, for example) it does install, and the AddIns folder gets created. I did try to manually create the dlc landing folder in the AddIns folder for Awakenings, and drop in a manually created Manifest.xml. That does make the game think the DLC is installed, but when I try to select it, the game says the files are missing (obviously, because they are, because none of this makes the download complete). Doing a repair will error on Awakenings, but all other DLC will install fine (even ones that have Awakenings as a pre-req, which I find curious).
All that to ask, is there an alternate path where we can obtain the DAZip file for Awakenings, and use the DAUpdater to install?
Final question. I see an option to pay for the game in the EA app - $8 I think. Will paying for the game have any impact on this issue?
Thanks!
