So. I have now a computer that can run the game, but it has no Internet.
Hence, I can't go through the "Release online pass"
I do have other computers with an Internet connection... (that can't run the game)

So my question is... is there a way I can skip the online part/ get a pass through one computer and "move" the approval to another computer?


(praying)


Thank you and I hope at least THIS is solve- able :D

Is there no way to get internet on the good computer ?It is my understanding there is no real way to do what you are asking. If you could carry your computer to a friend's house or move it around yours to get access once.

Can you install the game on a second computer and get everything to authorize?  I'm only going to suggest the following, since it's worked beautifully for me with DA:O and ME2 through a bunch of Windows 7 reinstalls (don't get me going on all my recent hardware problems).  I haven't had to reauthorize officially.  I'm not sure if DA2 uses a similar process to authorize or not.

1) Install the game and any DLC on a computer with an internet connection.

2) Start up the game and log in to the Dragon Age servers.

3) Once everything's authorized, exit the game.

4) Save your C:\\Users\\[your user account]\\Documents\\Bioware\\Dragon Age 2 folder to some kind of external drive (flash drive, HDD, whatever).

5)  Install DA2 on your main computer.

6)  Navigate to your Documents\\Bioware folder on your current PC and overwrite the Dragon Age 2 folder with the one on your external drive.

Hopefully this will work.  I have my fingers crossed!

Since getting a currently produced PC onto the 'net is just so very easy, we need to find out why the OP thinks there cannot be any easy way for his / her game-capable one to connect, even momentarily.  This same question has been asked many times in the several years since the 'net and registration became synomymous, and the answer hasn't changed.  Haul it to where there is a connection, make the registration call, haul it back again.

Is that really necessary?  It's possible the computer is in an area where there's no ethernet jack, and the OP doesn't want to invest in going wireless just to authorize a game, or in hauling a heavy PC to a location where (s)he can plug in.

If there's going to be any answer at all, the simplest is always easiest, and physically moving things is really not such a big deal. There's always some muscle loose in every neighborhood.

Get a lan cable connect your pc without internet to your router, as easy as that if you say you have other computers with internet.

Gorath Alpha- you could just say there's is no way to do what I asked, or, maybe just say you have no answer, you know.
The reason why I have no connection is private and really irrelevant, ans still wanted to know if there's still a way to make this game work.
lizzbee- I tried something similar, but not exactly that... I'll try (though I have a bad feeling, like it's not going to work... still hope it will!)


And by the way- I'm a she.
nice to meet y'all and thanks

Lilalipa the best bet you have is to find a way to get the internet to the good computer. Either through moving the computer or linking into the net with it by either a really long cord, wifi, or maybe even linking through a computer that has internet access. I don't know your computer specs but the copy protection requires you to activate through the internet, and unless you do some major component swaps of hard-drives or some such, or use an illegal hack/crack/torrent file to bypass the security(which can set you up for all kinds of issues with the game,viruses, and legally) then you will probably be out of luck until you find a way to get the internet at that computer.
