Shadelon where in my post did I say that the console versions needed online authorisation? unless I unwittingly typed it in there somewhere in my sleep I don't see it nor recall typing that

I simply said you need to download a patch, did you read my post or just sawbthe words "connect to the Internet" and jumped to conclusions?

I'm typing this on a iPod touch so can't be bothered to copy, paste and bold my post as it's a bit more hassle than doing it with a mouse on the pc but I suggest you re-read my post and tell me where I said online authorisation is needed.

3) (Seperate question.) As long as the BioWare/EA servers still exist somewhere to "authorize" the content that you have on your system, you can install/uninstall/reinstall as many times as you want. Once a particular piece of software is associated with your EA account as "authorized", it remains so. (They haven't answered the "What if there are NO authorization servers any more?" question...)

Actually, I discovered a run-around for this issue. Since I obtained two versions of the game (one bought & one x-Mass gift), I was able to secure two licenses for two installations. (Yes, I have them all registered.) As a result of installing the game onto two computers, I discovered how to transfer my 'authorized' DLC to a standalone (offline) computer. After you install one copy of "DAO: Ultimate Edition" onto your internet computer, register and authorize your game and download content. Enter into the game once to see if everything has been 'authorized', and then...

If I told you the secret on the forum board, someone over at BioWare would most likely shutdown my account. Lol... Yes, there is a way to install this game, authorize the DLC, uninstall everything, reinstall the game later (on an offline computer), and then be able to access your download content (without reauthorizing the DLC through your social network account). I have already got the process down to only two (possibly three) steps.

Since I kept getting kicked off the family computer (internet one), I wanted to find a way to play everything on my personal computer (offline one). Now, my family doesn't scream at me for hogging the internet computer.

*shrugs*

What can I say? I am a paying customer who just wanted some flexibility. Since I bought the "Ultimate Edition" version, I didn't see any harm in securing my product's 'authorization' indefinitely.

But it is possible. Its a little too easy.

Lol... Something along those lines.

Until BioWare allows me to go into specifics, I will hold back on the more finner details.

hmm no replies from shadelon, either hasn't read this thread since accusing me of being wrong or isn't man/woman enough to admit the mistake.

I'm going to be re-formating my hard disk and installing windows 7(currently vista), hope have no issues getting the dlcs working.

Since you seem smarter at computers than ME, can you explain to me how to install DAO:UE, i have DAO origins installed and i want to play awakenings, game wont install and i had to download all the other stuff from the site but still dont see Awakenings, is Awakenings just the DLC? Such as Wardens Keep, Return to Ostagar, ETC???

[Thandal N'Lyman]

Presuming your talking about a PC installation, DA:A was never a DLC. It always required a disc (or virtual disc such as Steam or D2D) to install.

There must be a step-or-two missing in your install process, since ALL the DLC in already on the disc in the UE. No download of anything required, simply a one-time connection to "authorized" your content.

@Thandal, A long time I purchased DA:O. Just recently I purchased the Ultimate Edition (UE) to have Awakenings with all the DLC, I have the DLC but not Awakenings. I cant figure out how to install UE or how to play Awakenings, I can not seem to figure out where to go to start the game. Should I uninstall my DA:O? And then install DA:UE?

[fowler002]

if you've read fernando's posts, it's best to completely uninstall your old install(i.e. da:o) and install ue which should install everything(but remember to keep your save games from da:o unless you want to start over).

[mdelvalle]

THANK YOU!! Where is Fernando's post? I would like to give it a look. Thanks again.

Why are people having so much trouble with the Ultimate Edition? Bioware/EA not put any effort into this release?

[Thandal N'Lyman]

People are having problems because they aren't reading all of the instructions for the specific install (disc, Steam, D2D, etc.) and platform they are using. Especailly on the PC when installing "over" a previous one.

BioWare didn't do anything special AT ALL  for the UE except bundle all of the released material together and include an installer that is supposed to put everything on your machine at one go.

Every single "problem" that people are reporting has already been addressed, either in this thread or in the Tech Support forum for that platform.

Getting "application load error" intiating Ultimate edition Dragon age Origins. App has been running okay; only today does this pop up. Reboot, and other standard routines executed to no avail. any Ideas?

[pkh1606]

If I want to buy a new copy of PS3 DAO UE from online store, will there still have problem (cannot find/install a particular DLC) in euro ver? I live in Asia and probably EA wont help, so want to get an answer... Thanks for help!

[night0205]

I understand that the issues are being resolved, but there shouldn't be any issues. Installing a game, should just take the "install" button. Otherwise, someone didn't do a very good job very good.

The disc for the PS3 UK edition was missing the "Return to Ostagar" DLC.  (And had a duplicate copy of one of the "FeastDay" ones by mistake as well...)  EA's fix is to make a download available for affected users.  AFAIK there are NO plans for pressing a *corrected* BRDVD.  And I'm not sure how the d/l works, since I don't play on the PS3.

Regarding a seperate "Euro" version, in his post in this thread answering various questions about the UE Fernando Melo had this:

Fernando Melo wrote...

Yes - PS3 comes with English, French and German VO + E/F/G and Italian & Spanish Text.

-and-

Yes.  The original Origins had two versions in europe - one for UK which was English only, and one for the mainland which included more languages.  In any case, as explained above UE does contain Italian Text (with English VO).

Thanks for your reply! I will give it a try if I cannot find a cheaper US ver.

[Cloudstrifehammy]

If I purchased the UE... and I installed all of the DLC that the disc included in my PS3... if I try to play it on another PS3, will I be able to install the DLC there too? Or is it a one time install thing where if I installed it in one PS3 I won't be able to install it in any other?

[Magnag]

I hit the install button and cannot even log in to access the content that came with Ultimate. Like night0205 said 3 posts ago.... There should be no problems and with the amount of trouble people are having with their purchased games it hardly is their fault.



I said after DA:O that i would never buy another EA/BIO game and i guess i got what i asked for. THIS IS THE LAST EA/BIO GAME I WILL have bought. I was fooled twice. I am not going to be an idiot three times. There will NOT be another EA game jsut like there will not be another UBISOFT game till they fix their DRM/always online crap.



I knew this crap was going to happen the second i bought this game. Cant log in to authenticate DLC that came on the disk.



I am too pissed off the stick around here and come back tomorrow. In the meantime this game is getting a not so nice little write up on my site.
