Dragon Age Origins Constant Crashes on Windows 11.
Hello I have been unable to play Dragon Age origins ever since upgrading my laptop to a new one with windows 11. I can load the game and select to start a new character or resume a save, but once out of character creation, the game begins to use a lot of memory causing it to crash always. I am not very technically minded, so I have no idea how to fix this. I have tried compatability mode, but even that does not help. It is my favourite Dragon Age game and I miss being able to play it. I brought it years ago on steam and have never had a problem till now. This seems to be a major issue, as steam discussions has so many posts and guides with regards to this. Trouble is when you are not very techno savvy like myself, it can be very bewildering and confusing working out what the guides are telling me to do. Carrying out said instructions when you are me, is a disaster waiting to happen. Seeing as EA took over Bioware, maybe EA should try and patch this so all Dragon age players can still continue to enjoy this epic game. One idea would be to remaster Dragon Age Origins so it will work on newer pc's and laptops with ease. I would definitely buy it remastered, if it meant I could play it without constant crashing and eating memory.
[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?

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!
Is 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?
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.
DA Origines launch but keeps crashing before I can play
I tried playing the game a few times, even went throught a few internet ask, but I'm not originally an english speaker and have a hard time identificating to said asks. So I launch the game, everything's fine, but then, when I finish creating my character and press "play", the game just... crash. No messages, no nothing, there's just suddenly no game on my screen and I'm face to face with my computer background... and it does that everytime only at that moment. I did install it on an USB hard drive, could the problem come from there?PC DA: Origins Not Launching Saves and Missing Downloaded Add-on DA: Awakening
Hello, I've been having problems with PC Dragon Age: Origins for a couple of weeks now. First, I wasn't able to launch the game, and was getting the error on the PC EA App: Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later. So after multiple attempts to launch a saved game, I followed suggested solutions on the EA Help Website, and I uninstalled the EA App and the game and reinstalled both. Now when I try to launch a saved game, it gives me the error: This saved game cannot be loaded. It requires the following content: Dragon Age: Awakening. So I tried to uninstall and reinstall DA:O again, but still getting the error. However, when I look at the list of downloaded content the EA App shows that Dragon Age: Awakening was downloaded/installed with 4.15GB.
