What happens when the bug occurs? Can't load save file
What do you expect to see? a fix.
I had Dragon Age Inquisition installed on Steam because I had EA Play purchased through Steam in the past. When the subscription ran out I didn't uninstall the game because I knew I will be playing it again (purchasing the subscription). When Microsoft announced EA Play on Game Pass I decided to go for that instead of paying on Steam for EA Play only.
So now I have EA Play through Xbox Game Pass and the game in my Steam library (fully installed/ files unpacked). Also, obviously I couldn't launch the game through Steam.
I then try to open the game through EA Desktop and since the game files are already on my PC, it just got the path automatically and I could play the game through EA Desktop without any problems. Next, I tried to install a couple of mods but they didn't work so I thought that it has to do with the game being still on Steam, not on EA Desktop, so I uninstalled the game on Steam and installed it fresh new on EA Desktop.
And this is the point I'm in now. The game won't launch (with or without mods) because I'm missing the Trespasser DLC (which was on Steam version of EA Play but isn't on EA Desktop, despite both platforms offering the game through EA Play). When I try to load the save it says it won't load because the save was on the newer version of the game and brings up the Trespasser DLC (the version in the "package.mft" is currently 12).
My questions are:
1. Well obviously how can I fix it without losing my saves?
2. Is it just a bug that EA Desktop version of the game doesn't come with Trespasser DLC when the Steam version did?
