I should clarify.

When I installed the patch, the game began re-downloading all of my DLC. It did not do so for the four DLC items I mentioned, and the game wanted me to buy them again. I have since found out how to download them through the 'Your registered game content' part of my profile--except for the Feastday Pack; both Feastday Gifts and Feastday Pranks show up in the list, but there is no link to download them. I will edit this post when I have discovered whether the items I am downloading work now. If they do, is it possible to obtain the Feastday Pack without going through the in-game menu, or is my DLC effectively lost?

If refreshing the in-game DLC menu does not work, you can download the DLC as stand-alone dazips from the Dragon Age wiki here.  It will still require authorization as before, but if the rest of your content is authorizing correctly, that should not be an issue.

I just decided to come back to playing DA:O after taking months off due to issues with DLC not being authorized. I decided to make a new game tonight and same issue tons of DLC showing up as unauthorized.
I downloaded this patch and now I can't get the game to start at all. The shortcut stopped working and selecting it from the start menu doesn't work either.

Anyone else having this issue?

Not that I know of.  Though it would help if you could report the problem better.  In what way is it not working? Is the shortcut broken?  (I.e. does Windows throw up it's "can't find..." error dialogie"?).  Does the game try to run, but hangs?  Does the splash menue appear but the game not load?  Or....

Sorry for being unclear. What I meant was that when I try to use the shortcut or go through the start menu nothing happens at all.  When I click/doubleclick the menuoption/shortcut  it's like the computer ignores what I did, nothing starts, nothing happens at all.

I had the same issue with the shortcut. You may need to go to the actual executable (It's in the bin_ship folder of Dragon Age Origins. The location varies depending on your install but it will generally be in the Programsx86 section of the main C drive. Disc versions install a Dragon Age file directly there. Digital providers generally install a file there for their service and then each game has a file within that.) Right click on the application file and create a new shortcut. You can also run the game directly from there.

Thank you very much that cleared up the problem for me. I appreciate it.

Can you downgrade from 1.05 to 1.04 with out issues. I backed up my saves in a separate area but I can't use this patch anymore. At first it worked great but now the load times are getting ridiculous. I know that there has been an issue with a memory leak but that never bothered me for 1.04. Until recent the load times were fine. But now if I play for more than 30-45 min the game goes to a crawl. So until that can be addressed I'll take the unauthorized dlc. Hopefully you guys can work this out. And incase you're wondering my specs are:

OS: Win 7 64 bit pro, 3.4ghz quad amd 965, 8gb ram, 3tb hdd, 2 nvdia 285 gtx with 1gb ram each, 1200 watt psu.

There are directions for rolling pack a patch in the solutions round-up thread.

So i have steam and hate to complain but at this point I can't help but be disappointed. I pay for content I don't get and this isn't the only game at the moment I can't register mass effect one to get the dlc for it. I got over that. Move one to dragon age ultimate. Only for the dlc and awaking, I already have the digital deluxe origins, and now I can play none of them. You really need to solve the issues you are have with all of your game content.

[sami jo]

If you are referring to the Bring Down the Sky DLC for ME, simply contact EA support directly for the link and code. There is an entire thread in that support forum pinned to the top about how to install it.

As for DAO, if you have installed UE over the original game, that itself can cause problems. There is a pinned solutions round-up thread at the top of this forum.

I confirm that this path has worked perfectly; didn't see any side effects with this patch on (Win7, 32 bit)

I have also wrote some overview notes here (social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/58/index/8069609/1#8070498) so that people new to the issue can easily uninstall from Steam and re-install with Origin + eventually use this latest patch 1.05 that resolves the issue.

ciao,
Patrick

Yay! DLC Problem fixed. Thank you guys for a great patch!

[Luke Barrett]

If anyone has 1.05 working without any noticable slowdowns (ie. roughly the same as 1.04 within a few seconds) please let me know, I would like to inquire as to your hardware to help narrow down the issues for those who are having this issue.

[wildman99]

Yeah no probs so far with the DLC's ive tested which I couldnt access before the beta patch

Also no probs in speed/time in loading it all up as per before the install of the patch. On the down side it has crashed once but I loaded to the save before it and so far hasnt happened again.

[jess879malagant]

Only Problem i have is with the Blood Dragon DLC. I appears the Chest PPiece appears after i create a Character, but after i save a game it disappears. I Have tried Disabling the DLC in question in The Downloaded Content section, and then froce loaded a save game. I then saved a new save game from my force load, and reenabled the DLC but it still doesn't reappear.

This whole mess with Dragon Age Ultimate, Steam and now Origins is pretty much a huge crock of you know what. 

Being a prior owner of Dragon Age Collectors Edition, I purchased Dragon Age UE on Steam last night just to get all the expansion content in one go. Before the Steam purchase, I'd already been registered for the Collectors Edition content (stone prisoner, dragon armor etc).

Seeing that Steam was needing to download the full UE version, I let it do its thing and download the massive multi-gb package as I slept last night. Well, this morning I wake and log in to play for a little while before going off to work, only to discover that now I can't even load my saves from before due to this DLC mess.  Not only can I not use the new stuff that I paid for last night, I can't even play from my saved games from the night before, with seemingly no way to get it back apart from uninstalling the Steam install entirely and just throwing it away! Thankfully I find these threads here and at least found out about Origin, the beta 1.05 etc. 

So today I do that... install Origin, enter my codes for the UE content, and let Origin download the game AGAIN.  Come home from work this evening, launch the DragonAge UE installer that Origin downloaded, and much to my chagrin, it was the german version of the installer 'dragonage_ultimate_3_de'.  And yes, I made sure my Origin account language prefs were 'en' before doing anything ('en' is the default ffs).
I went ahead and guessed my way through the installer just to see what happens.  Thankfully it did install the English client.  Or maybe the actual Dragon Age game bases its language settings on the default OS language.  So all was not lost.  I am able to play the game in English. 

But what a crock.  You'd think all these big name publishers and distributers would have their **** figured out, but I guess not.

Anyway, the Dragon Age UE installer from Origin... no doubt about it, Origin downloaded the 15gb 'de' version when it should have installed the 'en' version.

My friend installed the UE from Steam just a month ago (fresh install, he had not installed DA: O or any DLCs before). He had nary a problem getting it to work. Just sayin'.

[Gravbh]

Any word on when the patch will be out of beta so steam users won't be forced to use origin?

[Finli74]

Just wanted to say thanks. I have been spending more time trying to resolve the "unauthorized" DLC issue than playing the game. I plan to change that...now. Thanks for the beta.

[BigDaddy421]

This arduous wait for a patch that's NOT in beta is leading me to believe this was a plot from EA to force Steam users to go use Origin. It's a conspiracy!!!

On a more serious note, I cannot wait for this patch to be released, it's really pushing me to my wits end. It used to fix with repeat logins and whatnot, but now nothing works.

[NitaW]

Thank you so much for this patch! After I moved my files to a new computer a few months ago (read: old computer died), I could not access Warden's Keep anymore. I found and downloaded it last night and was able to access the DLC again! Which is good, because I could not open any of my previous characters (paraphrasing: WARNING! You are trying to access a character who is So Awesome you can't touch her file because you are Unauthorized!). Luke, I promise I will report further if I run into problems with loading times. The only problem thus far is that now my shortcut no longer works, and I have to load from the disk. I can live with that.

[sami jo]

See above for instructions to re-create the shortcut.

[NitaW]

@sami jo: Thanks!

I downloaded it and activated it. It managed to fix the authorization issues; however, when I want to play, the game still says that I'm missing the (collector's edition), so it's items including the blood dragon armor doesn't appear. So what should I do?

[WilliamDecker]

Hello,

Dragon Age won't allow me to continue my game because my content is apparently unauthorized. I purchased the game through steam and noticed that you said the following:

"Q: Can Steam users apply the 1.05 BETA patch?
A: The Steam service unfortunately doesn't support BETA patches. However, all PC/Mac users who have registered their game automatically receive free access to the full-game download via EA's Origin service. If they wish, users who have purchased the game through Steam can uninstall their Steam version and replace it with their Origin version, thereby gaining access to the 1.05 BETA patch. Once the patch is no longer in BETA and sees an official release, Steam users will be able to access it via Steam's normal patching process."

As a fellow Canadian I'm subjected to our wonderful ISP limitations on downloading content. So instead of redownloading the game when will the patch that allows me to continue my save game be launched?

I paid for the game at release (Digital Deluxe Edition) and I just want to play the game I paid for.
