I had a previously purchased version of the game that included DAO, Origins, Shale and the Feastday kits. Then, during the Steam Sale, I repurchased the DAO Ultimate Collection which includes DAO, Leliana's Song, Witch Hunt, Return to Ostegar and...something else. It doesn't matter really.

So I launched the game in Steam and discovered it must hold all the save games in the same place because all my old saves were there, meaning I could use my characters for the DLC that the Ultimate Collection gave me.

I hope you're all still with me.

However, now when I launch my old version of DAO (outwith Steam) I'm getting the following message:

I'm not sure why - I have one single account for all my DA stuff, this one I'm posting from. And because I'm always logged into that shouldn't it register that I have all of those DLC?

Anyone know why I'm getting the above message now when I try and access the game elsewhere?

Your screenshot isn't there any more, so not sure wxactly what your error message was. 

But here's my recommended solution:

1.  Make a backup copy of your "Characters" folder(s).  Both sets, if there's a different one under your Steam install.  That will keep your Wardens and your game saves.

2.  Uninstall EVERYTHING  from both installs.

3.  Download the UE from the EA: Origin store. (No additional charge, you just need your CD-Key from the current install.)

4.  Apply the 1.05 patch (social.bioware.com/page/da-patches)

5.  Put your "Characters" folder back where it belongs.
Happy Steam-free gaming!

NOTE:  If you have mods, you'll have to deal with them appropriately...)

Thandal's solution is certainly one option. The problem is that you now have two competing version of the game installed. You need to remove one, and since removing one will delete components now shared by both, in reality you need to remove them both. Whether you reinstall via EA Origin or Steam, it doesn't really matter-- you simply need to make sure it's the Ultimate Edition version.

And if I do that should I just reinstall Feastday Pranks/Gifts and Stone Prisoner from scratch and all will be on one 'game' as it were?

Thanks so much for the help.

Both the "FeastDay... er, Stuff" and TSP are included as part of the UE.
If that's the version you install, they'll be there.

Hmm interesting. I'm not sure why the error popped up then (you can see it by right clicking on the URL and going to 'show image') but it looks like a reinstallation is probably the easiest option.

The uninstall both + reinstall UE is the best choice (ideally cleaning up any registry entries as well), and then ensure you're patched up to 1.05

I believe what may be happening here is the saves are shared, and each time the game saves it also makes a note of which DLC's are active - this is to prevent you loading a save with a DLC you no longer have and all sorts of things like items missing etc could get you into a bad state - anyway, if you save the game from one version and it contains all DLCs active (e.g. the UE version),  and then try to load that same save via another version without all the same DLCs active, it'll detect some DLCs missing and ask you to re-enable them (essentially the message you got).

In any case, as correctly suggested earlier - the best solution is to reduce that down to 1 active install.  That plus patch 1.05 should remove any dlc related issues.

F.

Thank you both. It's much appreciated.
