Has anyone had this problem resolved?

I had to create a new account, reload both games. I lost all my DLC, and in-game stuff. The in-game stuff had the item's codes redeemed back in 2009. Heavens! Can't enter it twice! Piracy!!
It's tied to your EMAIL and not the Character Folder??
Brilliant.

I spent 5 hours today with support, and they said they had to 'escalate' the issue to their superiors. Thier superiors??

Anyway, they kept giving me codes for stuff. I entered them here, in my new account, it said successful, but only 3 out of about 10 items synced.

Any ideas? Right now all I can do is wait and see if these mythical figures contact me.

Thanx.

If you have the DLC listed under your new account on this page:

http://social.biowar...ntitlements.php

... you can download and install it manually. DAO's DLC downloader in-game is notoriously finicky, probably compounded by the fact that DA2 was released today in Europe. There's a good guide to manually installing content on the Dragon Age Wiki...

http://dragonage.wik...ntent_(Origins)

... it includes links to all the DLC. Note that for some, you'll have to download and install the associated "offer" file. If you do this, make sure you reboot before and after installing. That *should* clear out the updater program and give the game a chance to realize content is installed. If you have further issues with the DLC after that, consider consulting the solutions round-up linked below in my sig.

Best!

Thanks! I'll try this.

Worked fine until I uninstalled and then re-installed.

Nope...not in entitlements. Support said it should be there (3 were). There are some things in my addins folder though that don't appear in the entitlements page. This all isn't because I haven't created a character yet, or started a game?

Next question.
It seems I can save the content manualy as dazips by following your second link. But the fact that the 'linked' way doesn't work- will that cause gameplay issues (like there normally aren't any :)

If the DLC is not listed in the entitlements, then downloading them manually will install the files but they won't be authorized. I am afraid the operative word is "if".

Not sure I understand what you mean here.  DAZIP files need tro be installed using the DAZIP installer that's located , IIRC, in the bin_ship subfolder.

What version of Windows are you running? And what web browser are you using. I seems to recall someone posting a while back that when they download *dazip files, either Windows or their browser changes the file extension....

Try renaming the zips as *.dazip

I couldn't sleep, started the game again to see if I could figure this out before pitching it through my livingroom window, and EVERYTHING was downloading. So much, that lots failed. I dunno...

Brilliant stuff! Thanks to you I don't have to worry about bothering some support person that will probably take 5 hours sorting it out :D Although why this hasn't been fixed yet what with all those "updates" they have done with the patches I'll never figure out <_< Thanks! Now I can finally get to actually using my dlc lol...
