    For anyone Googling the issue like I did, this solved it.  I tried to launch DA2 from Steam, but the EA app would pull up and close and the game wouldn't run.

    I had to open the EA app separately by searching Windows for the app and choosing "Run as administrator", go into Steam, press Play on game, and then it worked.

    Hello guys, I have a problem running the game. I have the English version of Dragon Age origins ultimate edition, still with the box and 2 DVDs. I can't install anything via the new ea app and when I install the game via autorun.exe on the normal way, only the base game is installed, without dlc and German voice output. The last time I installed it on the origin app, everything was done automatically, so that all dlcs were available and the game could be played in German, despite the English DVD. Does somebody has any idea? I would like to play the game again.

    I am having the same problem. No matter what I do (I've tried everything in this thread and some others) I cannot get DAO to launch. Every other game does except this one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the app and the game. I've checked my firewall settings, I've unchecked run as admin on the game application, I've cleared my caches, I've made sure the app is looking in the correct place, etc.  I am running:

    Edition Windows 11 Home
    Version 22H2
    Installed on ‎10/‎4/‎2022
    OS build 22621.1778
    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22642.1000.0

    I am at my wits end. Anyone find anything new to try?
