I just realized something... I've been stupid...
I encountered the unauthorized dlc while logged in on friday night, just like a lot of you guys.
I thought, hm, let's try play offline. And voila, the dlc authorized and able to continue my save.

But........ I thought that the content updater wasn't started, so I exited my game, rerun the content updater en started the game again. Then........ I LOGGED IN. DLC still unautorized. I thought to myself, oh well, just play offline and try again tommorrow........ only to see that when I logged off the dlc where STILL unautorized......

What if.... I never restarted my game and just stayed offline the first time.... this would'n have happened (to me)...

I feel so stupid....

On the (sort of) bright side - you can run through all the origins now for the achievements without issue IIRC.

if you somehow have a backup of your dap profile you can undo the effects of that last login.

I don't think I have a backup, the only profile.dap i have is the one in Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/Settings...

EDIT: and btw i tryed to log in a lot of times to see if it was fixed, also after the "fixes" ea gave me/us.
So I gues i can't go back to the log in from friday...

hat one has been discussed, however that's a workaround for those who at any point have previously had their DLC authorized.

Could someone point me to that post please? I have all dlc and it was all purchased separately and was all previously authorized...

I am not sure of what you are asking but there is a workaround for those whom have not previously played with any of their DLC in a saved game. It requires you to navigate to documents/bioware/dragonage/settings and to modify the addins.xml file. Make a backup of the file and then use wordpad or notepad to edit the file. Search for RequiresAuthorization="1"> and change it to RequiresAuthorization="0"> for all entries and then save the file. This will authorize your content for use however if you already have DLC in a save there is a bug that often occurs, as I found out myself, that will make your DLC in game items (like the battledress, blight blood sword, armor, etc) vanish from the saved games and even new games won't have the content. So use this method at your own risk.

So I've never played The Witcher. I've just ordered it to fill in whilst I wait for EA/Bioware to get their act together. Certainly wont be buying any DA2 DLCs until this server issue is fixed in any case.

I've not given up on BioWare, not threatening to never buy another thing from them, but really, this is sort of thing is just manna to their competition.

Oh goss, I tried that "fix" too.
When I realized is wasn't doing what i thought it would be doing i changed it back.
I can't remember if i made a save at that point.
Am I screwed now?

There is a workaround that worked for me. Its not a real workaround but more of a cheat. If you have a backup of your dragonage folders, from like a scheduled system backup, from before the glitch Friday morning you can just logout and your content will authorize and you can play. This worked for me. I had a backup from just before the crash where my DLC was still authorized so I made sure I was logged out of the DA servers, quit the game, restored from backup (except for the characters/saves folders since I did not want to lose any progress I had made) and then started the game and all of my DLC is present and authorized. Just don't log back in until this mess is fixed.

Two things should by now be obvious...

First, EA is technically incompetent. Their DRM system is pathetic. It barely worked when the server was running. And now that it's not running they can't figure out how to fix it. I can just imagine the conversation in the hall. "Whadda mean, 'Where's the backup?' I thought YOU were doing that!"

Second, EA learned everything they know about customer relations from British Petroleum. This issue is now in its fifth day. We have exactly one statement from them that has no information other than "We're working on it."

Given the above I would have to question how long they can continue to be successful. I notice that their stock is down 3.52% since Friday, while the NASDAQ as a whole is off 2.24%. Coincidence? Probably, but if I had any ERTS I'd be selling it.

Awesome master-fluff, I hear that game is amazing, so have fun, I might as well play some elder scrolls, massive game, see if i can get further ahead. Still re-downloading the standard edition tho, will dl manually the dlc, if that does not work, guess I will re-download ultimate and wait like everyone else..tic toc.

[dse471]

I have the exact same problem as Storiwyr. From the camp, trying to travel to the castle, there is one encounter. Leaving that encounter always results in a crash (unable to load area). All of my DLC are inactivated, and I did the "RequiresAuthorization" trick as well.

[mighty_samson]

OK I hate to be jaded at this point, BUT . . .

I was one of the lucky few who complained about this enough early and got a $20 coupon for the EA store. (At-least it was something.)

I had a quick look at the time and saw a bunch of older games that were around half price. The next morning (I imagine after doling out several said coupons) the prices in the store were all back up to full price. Anyone else notice this?

Oh for crying out loud just fix the server already so I can try this game.

Thank you, I nearly didn't. Not confident with my voice at all especially when its recorded in a rush.

*blinks* To be fairly honest have been single for way too long (only ever dated once and that lasted 5 days...) I am less confident with that than I am singing. Being nearly 21 makes me feel bad.

Aww I'm glad it got rid of your bad omen... was meant to raise the spirits too so I'm glad it has for you.

Thanks, seems to be at least improving the mood which I am thankful for. No need for us consumers to get too upset... well there is but not to the point it can get you ill which I know from experience is not nice.

Also thanks to anyone I didn't quote who commented. Like Fuzzy

after how many days of "not beeing able to access the game i bought" i have the right to seriously complain i mean we are beeing more or less patient but now it's 4 almost 5 days I am sure they are working to fix it but they should think about something better then a 20$ coupon randomly assigned

i would be happy with a beta key for Sw:TOR at least to keep myself busy while i wait they fix DA

or even better a free copy of Sw:TOR okey this is a lil too much i was just trying
