I think I've confused my DAO installation...

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?

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.
