@Xeracross There isn't a way to do that. They would have to recode the game in order to create a different folder for add-ons since those add-ons and downloads are already set. DAO and DA II are too old to recode at this point.
I've tried testing this over and over through the EA app and through Steam. Each time I completely clean out the PC of all folders for the EA app and the game. I basically start over which I know is totally frustrating and time-consuming.
If you delete everything game-related: Game, DLC, all folders related to the game, registry entries, etc..
Have the EA app or Steam installed on your main game drive
When you install the game, it should show all DLC that a specific account owns (this becomes an entitlement issue, not an app issue)
Install the game and all add-ons at the same time, on the same drive, and the EA app/Steam
For Steam users though, if they don't see that DLC, they have to do a manual download on the DLC for older Games page.
Now if let's say wiping all of it does not work, I would try a new Windows Account
This is an issue I raised a while ago so what I would need to do is raise it again. In order to do that I need as many players as I can to provide me the following info: Please do not comment with things like "It didn't work". That will not get this escalated again any faster.
