Found a fix. DLC CTD Fix for Origin Seems like all the stuff in the thread was for Steam. Did the thing it said in this link and it's working again.

Can confirm that this issue persists as of February 2017. I'm appalled that something like this is pushed on unsuspecting customers.
It's a workaround, not a solution. You have to skip the movie scenes which I would like to see as well and I can't because BioWare doesn't care to fix this bug.
On top of that it's related to DLC that people paid extra for which makes it extra rotten. I really wish they would come up with an actual solution for this rather than people having to use this workaround still after so many years just so their progress doesn't get blocked instead of being able to just enjoy the full content. It may be a small part but really just because people found a workaround, doesn't absolve BioWare from fixing an otherwise game breaking bug.
@EgoMania; I can appreciate your point, but I can also appreciate that neither BioWare nor EA is going to spend resources to fix what is a "workaround-able" bug, that affects a tiny minority of players, in an eight-year-old game.
Not. Going. To. Happen.
And I'd rather that they devote the resources to making Anthem a fantastic Single-Player experience anyway. :eahigh_file:

I don't actually expect them to fix it but I don't actually find this workaround acceptable either since it actually means cutting scenes from the game to be able to make it work.
It's something they should've fixed years ago already but don't mistake my grievance for an expectation. I've lowered my expectations for BioWare quite a bit in the last 4 years or so.
As far as Anthem is concerned, I'm not ready to share your optimism. We'll see with E3 what comes out but EA just told their investors this week that they will add live services later after the release. So that tells me that they'll sell the game without mtx * but add it later. This is what they learned from BF2...not to become more player friendly but first sell the game without mtx as if it's all about the players and then once people bought it slap the mtx on it.
I mean the only reason they would tell investors this is because it relates to making money and so these live services are all about that clearly.
Of course I get they're not going to fix old games but my problems is that BioWare's older games are the ones I still play and the new ones not anymore. If I had faith in them to make a great BioWare game gain and EA wouldn't stick their greedy fingers in the business model, I would also be excited. But we see that EA is already talking about monetizing the game, just not on release so it won't hurt their initial box sales. As far as BioWare themselves, well, we'll see what E3 brings.
But it's been some years since a BioWare game came out that I really really enjoyed and EA I trust just about as far as I can throw them especially now it's become clear they are going to add mtx to the game.
