[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 to C:\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!600Views0likes0Comments🔧Maintenance: Dragon Age II – Temporary Downtime May 6, 2025🔧
Hey, folks Dragon Age II will be undergoing planned maintenance on May 6, so you might run into a few hiccups if you're launching the game that day. What to expect: The game’s system for checking for DLC content may cause errors during the downtime. You can still play the game offline, but you might see error messages or brief connection issues while the game tries to verify content. There’s no need to reinstall anything, and everything should return to normal once maintenance wraps up. Thanks for your patience while we take care of a few things behind the scenes. Update: Maintenance now completed. If you run into any issues with the game, please open a new thread and tag me! Thanks everyone.400Views2likes2CommentsDragon Age 2 won't boot up.
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this issue, but I've been playing DA 2 for 20 hours total so far and the game was running pretty well, then all of a sudden during a cutscene the game crashes on me. I've tried to boot the game back up but it gives me the same response of "the game won't launch, there's an issue on our end that won't let the game launch". I've tried nearly everything, from uninstalling and reinstalling the game, to restarting the EA app, to repairing the files itself and I'm getting no luck. I've contacted support and they've said they'll report this to the team but I want to know if there's anyone else who's suffering the same issues and if they managed to find a way to fix this.Dragon Age 2 Standard Edition-Ultimate Edition
I have Dragon Age 2 Standard on my account. A few years ago I picked up dlc packs for free because they were available. I noticed that in my library the game is listed as Standard Edition, not Ultimate Edition. To have the Ultimate version, the EA app asks you to purchase a new copy of the game. I checked the Ultimate Edition in and it has exactly the same add-ons and DLC as my Standard version, so why does it appear for me as a purchase of a new game ?Solved103Views0likes2CommentsIs it possible to obtain Dragon Age: Origins and 2 DLCs on EA app
I know that Dragon Age: Origins and DA2 DLCs were made free after removing BioWare points in 2022. Everywhere I searched I found that to get them I would have to purchase them in Origin Launcher in Extra Content tab. Unfortunatly Origin Servers were shut down a month ago. Can I somehow obtain them for free on EA app? I have standard editions of both games on EA app. I know that it is possible to download some of them from this page "https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/dlc-for-classic-games/#dragonage", but as far as I know there should be more, for example the HD texture pack for DA2 and Awakening for DA:O. Is buying whole games again from EA app store really the only way to get those DLCs to show in the launcher?100Views0likes1CommentKann Dragon Age 2 nicht deinstallieren
Hallo EA Community, Ich mache gerade einen Dragon Age Run mit allen 4 Spielen hintereinander. Habe vorhin Dragon Age 2 durchgespielt und wollte es deinstallieren aber weder über den EA Laucher noch sonst irgendwo funktioniert es. Wenn ich beim EQ Launcher auf "Deinstallieren" klicke reagiert gar nichts. Ebenso beim der Uninstaller.exe im Dragon Age 2 Ordner. Dragon Age 2 wird auch nicht in der Auflistung der Apps auf meinem PC angezeigt. Jedes andere instalierte Game ist dort zu finden. Hat jemand eine Lösung für mich? Eventuell einen manuellen Weg zur Deinstallation? Danke! LGSolvedEA Launcher canceling DA Game Launch
I was playing Dragon Age II when the game crashed. At, first I wasn’t too bothered as old games crash all the time, but now I’m concerned as the EA launcher won’t let the steam game launch initialize. I keep getting the error message that says “there seems to be a problem on our end” (EA Launch app) without specifying said problem. Now I’m just frustrated because I would like to play DA2 but I can’t even get into the game because of the launcher issues.SolvedНе запускается Dragon age 2
Всем добрый день. При попытке запустить игру выходит ошибка (скриншот). Пробовала: переустанавливать игру, EA app, DirectX все возможные версии (в том числе старые, для старых игр); Делать восстановление приложения и игры; Проверяла свое ПО, все исправно; Извлекать DLL и помещать в системные папки. Ничего из вышеперечисленного не помогло запустить игру. Может есть еще какие-нибудь способы решить данную проблему?Dragon Age 2 DLC not installing.
Hi everyone, I own the Dragon Age 2 Ultimate Edition on steam. I come across to EA to play it, as they make you do, and I can install the base game and play however not the DLC. I go to "Manage Add-ons" then press download. It gets to 96% and says "installation failure. I've tried every single solution I can google but please tell me your fix because at this point I'm just a girl, standing in front of her computer, begging it to download properly. Thank you.
