I have the same problem. It all installed successfully (or so it said), but New Game only offers the original options and Other Campaigns is greyed out. So it looks like something hasn't registered properly.

Edit: and I've got a fix for it, I think (there might be a simpler way to do this, but this is what seemed to work for me).

• Open up your Dragon Age game folder.
• Open addins, then dao_prc_ep_1 under there.
• Right-click Edit the manifest.xml file.
• Select from the  line (this is almost the entire contents of the file).
• Copy it to the clipboard.
• Open your My Documents folder.
• Open up BioWare, Dragon Age, Settings.
• Right-click Edit the AddIns.xml file.
• Go right to the bottom of this file, and immediately before the final tag (ie. right after the last tag, paste the text you copied earlier.
• Save and close everything, then run the game.  Awakening should appear properly now.

Hm, ok. Steps number 1-4 are confusing. I have no Addins under my main programs and Files DA folder( C\\PFiles\\EA\\DA)

When I looked at the Addin XML under settings, I noticed that I had the entire Awakening Stuff there already.(will copy/paste if you'd like).
So,um, I'm confused. Majorly...Like, it's their, but not thier or like, ninja vanish, or what?

Step 4 there is nothing under /addins this is in the file
</AddInItem>
 </AddInsList>
But i know it is installed because when i insert the disk it says play not install

[andrzejzenzo1]

i cant find clipboard on my computer, all i have is notpad and wordpad

[didymos1120]

There's no need to find it. The clipboard is where stuff you cut/copy lives until you decide to paste it.

[Morkolus]

Man you are great



Thanks!!!

[tatteredandtorn]

Is this how the AddIns file looks or is mine missing some stuff?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!--   AddIn information -->
<AddInsList />

[zedd98823]

Steps 2 and 3 dont exist in my DA folder. I have the steam versions on windows7. Anyone have any advice please?
I fixed it. I had to validated my game by right clicking on it on steam then all of the folders appeared in the correct places. Thank you.

" Select from the line (this is almost the entire contents of the file)."



which line?

[greghannibal]

thanks uecasm for the solution!

[Taura-Tierno]

I have the same problem, but this solution doesn't work. Addins.xml already has the exact content that I'm supposed to copy there. Any other suggestion? I bought my copy of both DAO and Awakening in store.

[Shenordak]

which line?

From this:
<AddInItem UID="DAO_PRC_EP_1" Name="PRC_EP1" ExtendedModuleUID="" Priority="110" Enabled="1" State="2" Format="1" BioWare="1">  to this:
</AddInItem>

[xcyper44]

That fix DID NOT work for me. Someone please help!

[MJBurden]

Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!! Been trying to get it to work for 3 months. Yay I am a happy camper now. Thank You.

[Chokladglass]

YES!! I got it working! It probably won't be long till I have to repeat the process, but right now I am happy. Thank you very very much!

This is what's in my Manifest.xml - no sign of <AddInItem I'm

[Chokladglass]

Sounds like a real chore.



First time I edited the manifest.xml file, I did something wrong somewhere. It didn't work. Next time I opened it, the text was about the length of what you found in your document.



Do you have any DLC? I'm not very tech minded, but manifest.xml has something to do with DLC as well. So when I didn't find the right text in it, I removed (I can post the procedure if you want) and redownloaded all my DLC and then the manifest.xml file in My Documents was back to normal. Weird.
