As I solved my problem yesterday:
Problem was after hitting play getting stuck to an error of " game did not install correctly please reinstall"
Solution: DRM was to blame the installation failed because of DRM did not get installed successfully.
First Before install:
- Disable your firewall and antivirus software ( no need to uninstall those just disable them for the install )
- Make sure you are installing it as the admin , easiest way would be just to check all the exes from your dragon age install folder as following -> Right click .exe -> properties -> compatibility -> run this program as administrator
- Install the game
- Before playing make sure you have added exeptions for the DRM software and DA2 game in your firewall. Those in question are ->
Unified Registeration Code Installer Program and activation , from the DA2 folder / bin-ship / core
Dragonage2 , Launcher application , (Dragonage 2 PRC installer)
You can also just try launching it first time with firewall disabled to see if your install was successful , this might actually be more easy since then it will certainly pass the date check and DRM without blocking them by accident.
- Before hitting play though make sure you are running all your dragon age 2 .exes also in administrator mode as you did in install phase. These are the files you should find in your DA2 folder: DragonAge2 , DragonAge2Config , activation , EACoreServer , EAProxyInstaller , DragonAge2Launcher
- Now do your config and hit play with firewall exeptions added or with firewall disabled for first go.
Hope this helped.
