[Steam] Dragon Age Origins - Ultimate Edition Not Launching
Will a fix be made for this games inability to launch in Win 11 from Steam.
I'd like to play but cant get past the config utility crashing to desktop.
Have tried a laundry list of fixes from various Steam and other websites.
Any fixes just in case I havnt already tried would be appreciated too.
Looks like it has to do with reported CPU count.
I found a workaround posted on reddit. This allowed the config tool to run properly. https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonageOrigins/comments/otrgc0/dragon_age_origins_ultimate_edition_wont_boot/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
I found this fix :
- Download the latest Windows ADK for your specific Windows version : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-Us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install
During installation, it gives the option to select multiple tools; the only one needed is Compatibility Administrator.
- Once installed, open the Start Menu folder named Windows Kits, and launch Compatiblity Administrator (32-bit).
- Select the new database under custom databases.
- Click the database menu > Create New > Application Fix.
- Provide the full path of DAOriginsConfig.exe and give it a name of choosing.
- Skip past the compatibility mode options.
- In compatibility fixes select ProcessorCountLieForHybridCPU and ProcessorCountLie.
- Select Next and finish
- Press CTRL +S on your Keyboard or click on "Save"
- give it a name when prompted and try to save the database file in the same directory if possible
- Click on "run".Attaching screenshot of what this compatibility application should look like.
