For your reading pleasure, a quick couple of recent threads dealing with installation, DLC, and Steam-related headaches.  Also, some ongoing discussions of performance issues which apply to all PC iterations of the game.

Installation Problems and Missing Content

We've discovered that bad things can happen if you own a previous version of Dragon Age and install Ultimate Edition without first uninstalling the original program.  Bad things like not being able to launch Awakening or authorize DLC.  Fixed are possible:

DLC Won't Install or Authorize

FYI... Patience helps here.  Some people have reported long lag times when their UE DLC is first authorized.  This may happen when you have previous character data added to the game-- at the same time the DLC is authorizing, the character saves may be updated to the social site.

Steam users seem to have a particular time with DLC authorization.  Here's one suggest fix, pulled in part from the Steam forums:

Some users appear to have issues involving the background service that authorizes DLC content.  This can be edited manually:

Some folks report they are unable to locate or did not receive the code to activate UE DLC (which is different than the game's key)  - short answer... contact EA directly about this known issue and they'll sort it out - support.ea.com or help.dragonage.com.

Reinstalling to solve some DLC problems seems to work, especially for original owners of the game:  http://social.biowar...8/index/5819385

System Stability and Frequent Crashes

A discussion of system instability on Windows 7 64-bit, but some of the information applies to all Windows OS (also a nice way to see what hardware other folks are running).  It also includes a recently compiled list of all the little factors that can add up to system crashes:

Some Forum veterans are turning their attention towards the Windows pagefile.  Bloated pagefiles can make Dragon Age unstable.  A primer at: http://social.biowar...index/5840412

And, overclocking your system means more speed = good, right?  Wrong!

We've seen a couple users online lately running Windows Vista with only SP1 installed.  SP2 may help game stability.  http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/5845507

These are just a few choice threads, but there are many more which can help new and old users alike.  Basics on reporting problems and common issues are stuck at the top of the Forum.  Search is valuable-- if you don't find success with the site's own search function (and many don't), consider using Gorath Alpha's suggestion of redirecting Google--  site:social.bioware.com your search term
