Man do I have bad timing trying to get back to my DA:O playthrough. Hope they fix this soon.

[Eredhel]

I had the same problem, this fix worked for me:

guys i have the solution and it works 10000000% promise so this is what you have to do<br />
<br />
Locate AddIns.xml in "C:/Users/(Username)/Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/Settings" and edit it using WordPad or any XML editor. Replace all RequiresAuthorization="1" with RequiresAuthorization="0".<br />
<br />
Run the game and check to see if everything worked!<br />
<br />
<br />
if it worked say it here so that the others can see that it worked

[Karyrn]

My AddIns has almost nothing written in it to even change.

Argh, this has worked fine for the past couple nights. I don't want to lose my toon. >.<

[MrGrnPnts]

We're still locked out...just to let you know.

[Grindy]

You sir are a beautiful human being.  This fix worked for me.  Thanks for nothing Bioware... you should've never gotten in bed with EA.  #1 Rule for dealing with the devil.  Don't.

Eredhel/Grindy - Yep, worked for me too. Any negative ramifications to this?

Thanks for hosing us, EA/Bioware.

Thank you, works for the Mac versions as well.

For those running DA in Mac, I found the file in my Documents section, but I didn't do a standard install, so it may be in Application Support. I'll supply both locations below.

-- Macintosh HD / Users / [username] / Documents / BioWare / Dragon Age / Settings
-- Macintosh HD / Users / [username] / Library / Application Support / BioWare / Dragon Age / Settings

That fix didnt work for me... Screw u EA/Bioware, i remember the good old days of 8 meg patches and none of this ****ing ****, i pay individually for each dlc and this is wat i get

[DaveMc2011]

Yes, the AddIns.xml fix (I just searched for it with Spotlight, on the Mac) worked for me, too!  Thanks for that.  (And thanks for nothing, BioWare and EA.)

A question for the DRM designers: What are these constant checks for? Are you expecting that our legally purchased copy of the game is going to *become* pirated?  If you really must continue this idiotic practice, how about a "benefit of the doubt" grace period -- if the authorization servers are down, let people play for a day or two before you lock them out.  We've authenticated this content over and over and over again -- maybe that ought to buy us a bit of credibility when we claim that we're not stealing it?  Enough to let us at least play the game we bought, while you fix whatever happened on your end.

The Addins.xml "fix" didn't work for me. It let me get into my saved games, but removed all the gear from my paid-for downloads. I installed Dragon Age 2 last night, and this seems to be my reward...

[AEREC]

Is this being worked on at all? Most people have been unable to play a singleplayer game because of server issues for over a day.

Has there been any official word?

I was finally able to play my game by just logging out of my account in game, but it is still annoying.

[MrGrnPnts]

@Ragebourne - Make sure you:  1) are out of the game completely (probably only reads the file once at runtime), 2) replace all occurrences (I think there's 17 occurrences of the "require auth" parameter in that file, and 3) make sure you save the file when done.

Again, not sure of the ramifications of disabling this parameter, but it sure worked for me (after I replaced ALL occurrences ).

The fix discussed will let you play Dragon Age!
BUT------------*************BIG BUT************-------------------

-You still cannot load any special expansion equipment like blood dragon armor and certains items from the quests.
-Some of my characters are missing items.
-My main character is missing his helmet and weapon.
-I'm afraid if I play some and resave, after EA's servers come back online, my stuff will be gone for good
-I don't recommend this fix

[DaveMc2011]

Yes, the AddIns.xml fix (I just searched for it with Spotlight, on the Mac) worked for me, too!  Thanks for that.  (And thanks for nothing, BioWare and EA.)

Well, I spoke too soon: yes, I can load the game now, but my main character's armour (obtained on Soldier's Peak) has vanished.  So it's not really a solution.

GRRAH!  Totally unacceptable.  I hope everyone expressing their frustration here is also submitting a support request?  They should at least see that customers are not all right with this nonsense.

[myyrdneopia]

I'm not sure what is happening for the content to disappear. I double checked everything on my save games, I still have my armor and weapons from Soldier's Peak, as well as Shale and all that jazz. The Blood Dragon armor is still there, and everything is showing up on my map. I'm not sure if this is because I am running DA:O on Mac OS X, or something else. =/

I rejoice for you, but I'm also running on Mac OS X, and this is definitely not the case for me.

[Psilimit]

Well, this works...if you don't mind loosing all your DLC : (

Why do I bother to pay for games and content when they pirates get to not go through all this?!
They busted my rear end on DAII, alos.  When I went to play it at midnight when it launched, it made me wait till midnight in a difrent time zone!
And now this...

Well, last night of the weekend, still can't continue my DA:O game. This is not cool.

[SirTomster]

I am down too. Been a few days since I played. Finally at the end and now this. WTF. and I notice no replies from Bioware. Guess that helps me decide on if I should buy DAII since I had not yet until I had finished DAI. But since I cannot finish I no reason to buy II.

To explain why your DLC stuff goes missing when you alter AddIns.xml. By changing that setting you are effectively telling the game that you do not have any of that DLC installed and therefore it doesn't need to Authenticate. It will let you load the saves, but as you have seen, all of the DLC is turned off.

[bowlingotter]

Actually followed steps on the Bioware support page:

http://help.dragonag...WQvVDZUYVZjcms=

I would advise against it. It suggests the aforementioned Addins.xml edit which just re-enables your savegame with no DLC, and the second step just tells you to DELETE all your DLC trusting that Dragon Age will re-enable it properly. I deleted it, redownloaded it all (manually, because it wouldn't work in-game this time), and it still didn't work.

Here we have a classic example of DRM done wrong. Why couldn't BioWare just use Steamworks like every other respectable PC game?

[zero2espect]

any news on this? its happening to me as well

[Aekoric]

Same problem here! And I#m only about a couple of hours away from the ending

[tehboss]

This is absolutely redonculous!!! Actually I started playing DAII because I can't play 1 anymore. I don't have all the downloaded content, maybe 2/3rds, but I'm almost done with Awakenings, and this crap happens. Why has there been no post from Bioware yet?

[tehboss]

Gonna try this when I get home. If not they are getting a phone call tonight.
