[Steam] Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition Not Launching

@Havrshyk 

• Right click the Game cover in your Steam Library > Properties.
• In the "Launch options" tab, at the bottom (below "Advanced user may....") copy and paste the following line into the empty field:
  -CPUCount:1 -CPUPriority:high
  
• Test.

If that don't works:

• Hit Windows key and X.
• Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)", whichever option is offered.
• Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
• If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found reaped steps 1 & 2.
• Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes. > ENTER.
• The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
• After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key and X again.
• Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command Prompt (Administrator)”
• Inside the PowerShell or CMD, enter “sfc /scannow” without quotes. >ENTER.
• Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.

First idea didn't work, so I ran through the second.

It's been ages since I used commands in MSDOS, but I ran this second process on both my C: drive and D: drive, just in case. My game files are installed on D:

Message from c:

"Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag."

Message from D:

"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."

Tried running the game after that, and retried that first suggestion.

It did not resolve the issue.

@Havrshyk Doing some follow-up and wanted to check and see if the game is working for you now!

Not really. No.

I gave up and am waiting for the game to be updated to work better on Windows 11. My best guess is that it just isn't supported.

I ended up having a lot of stuff happen in my personal life so I never followed up. I'd still love to play this game again.

@Havrshyk I understand all of that for sure. Honestly at this point no. There won't be any more updates to the game itself unless something major happens that requires them to make changes that affect a lot of players at one time.

If you still want to play and try further steps on this one let us know. Be more than happy to try to get you back into the game.

I am having this very issue.  Installed Ultimate Edition of DA Origins on Steam, hit play, open launcher...hit play again and the config tool starts up but then immediately crashes.

Tried option 1, did not work.

Tried option 2 with the DOS stuff, received this at 100%:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.22621.2792

Image Version: 10.0.22631.3296

[==========================100.0%==========================] The restore operation completed successfully.
The operation completed successfully.

PS C:\Windows\system32> sfc /scannow

Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service.

There were no errors to report.

It just seems like the Steam version does not want to work properly.  Attached DxDiag for further info.

Hey there!

Just following up to see how things are going. Are you still running into any issues?

Thanks!

I tried all the things you listed but still can't launch the game.  The launcher comes up, i hit play, the config tool starts and it crashes.
