[Steam] Dragon age origins not working

Love the game and have been playing for a long time. decided to revisit since the origin servers shut down and everything stopped working for me. the DLCs dont work anymore. im not able to load into or start a new playthrough. is there any way I can input the game into the EA client (like a CD key). the steam version is unplayable for me sadly so any help is appreciated.

this is an issue that i have been trying to fix for a while and have tried alot of diffident things with nothing concrete working. my last resort would be to just buy the game again on EA wich really sucks.

    So you own the game on Steam but the game is not running for you?


    What exactly happens when you try to start the game?

    Are your EA and Steam accounts linked? > Check here.

    Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

    @camaro5speed Following up with you to see if you are still having an issue with the game not working in Steam!

    Cheers!

  • ya ive tried a few different things. i got the DLC to work and i am able to load into main menu now! but evrytime i start a new playthrough or continue an old one there is an infinite loading screen.

    i have tried the SET affinity to CPU 0 and 1 other, as well as trying it on compatibility mode. but nothing is working for me sadly?

    @camaro5speed Hey,

    You said you tried a bunch of different things can you tell us what you tried and what ultimately worked ?

    Do you have any mods installed ?

    If I remember correctly there is a memory leak problem that does give infinite loading screen. I'd try to verify the files (you never know if you tried a few things you might need to make sure everything is okay). You might need to reinstall the dlcs if you had to manually install them afterward

    The other solution is using the 4gb patch. There's apparently a specific mod/file on nexus mod for steam users

    @camaro5speed 

    Doing some follow-ups on these issues. As we've not heard back from you in a while, we're hoping that means the game has been working for you and you no longer need assistance. we'll close out this thread here.

    If you continue to have issues with the game, please start a new thread, or tack onto an existing one!

    Thanks for your post, and safe travels across Thedas!

    Cheers!
