[PC] Dragon Age Unauthorized DLC Error After Launch
Hello, Thedas! PC players may encounter an error that says something similar to the "Unauthorized DLC", or your DLC does not show up within the game after being installed and therefore are not able to load a save, or play the downloaded content. Below are the most common reasons and steps to help resolve these errors and get you back into the game! Causes Corrupted install of DLC (happens quite often) EA account had an EA Play subscription which has now expired A different EA account logged in and downloaded the DLC Your account does not have the proper entitlements to download the DLC You can test this out by performing the following on one of the DLC folders, or delete all folders. Navigate toC:\Program Files\EA Games (Or your respective install location) Delete ALL DLC folders with the games "addin" folder I also suggest deleting the metadata folder as well if it does not delete You can find a list of which folders belong to each DLC Here! Folder Locations DA:O: C:\Program Files\EA Games\Dragon Age\addins DA II:C:\Program Files\EA Games\Dragon Age II\addins Once all folders have been deleted, you will perform the following steps. These are optional steps but they do help in resolving the issue. Delete Windows Temp Files First, make sure you close as many programs as you can Press the Windows key + R, go into the file explorer Type in %temp%, and hit Enter Delete everything it allows you to delete Reboot the PC Optional Registry clean-up install CCleaner (it's free) from here Run Registry cleaner Click review selected issues Do you want to back up? No Click Fix all selected issues Finally Make sure the EA app and Steam are closed. Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER Delete all files within this folder. Once all the steps above have been performed, log back into the platform you play the game through, repair the game, and install the DLC. Note: If you are using Steam to play one of these titles, the EA Help article for Legacy DLC players can download is ONLY used for Steam installs. All EA app installs will download DLC within the Manage Add-ons in the EA app! Cheers!
Dreadwolf: I am still hoping
Hello everyone, Yes I am one of the sad people who think that Veilguard is no Dragon Age, hear me out... The Dragon-Age Lover that I am bought myself merch of Veilguard anyways? Why? Because it is Dragon Age and I am still hoping. What would stand inbetween having Veilguard for whoever likes that AND DreadWolf as an alternative Timeline. I have the Artbook and saw all the plans originally for Dreadwolf and I sit there and just keep saying "I want to play that game!" And get sad about to what it was reduced to. I do not care that Veilguard and Dreadwolf possibly has a similar ending chapter. So be it. But for Dreadwolf? I'd love that game, some of the stuff I had seen in the Artbooks, much more story, much more gameplay, much deeper Characters, so much time to explore and enjoy Thedas. I dig that. I've played Origins through almost two dozend times (still praying for that remake), Dragon Age 2 I play that every now and then just for fun, just because I can, I have around 1000+ hours in Inquisition I play it on PC and PS4. I love them. Unfortunatelly, as much as I apprechiate the developers trying to make us happy with Veilguard, it does not feel like Dragon Age. Solid game, played it through twice. Solid game - good work devs. But not a Dragon Age, it made me miss Dragon Age while playing it. (I started a full run through all the Dragon Age games again because it teased just enough Dragon Age to miss the actual DA games.) I would love for a game where the keep actually mattered. I still look the videos from the DA Keep listening to Varric telling the story of our world. I love it, and I doubt I would be the only person that would love to play what was planned in Dreadwolf. So #PleaseGiveUsDADreadwolf ??? Thanks to everyone who read that far.
