I tried reinstalling Dragon Age: Origins with Origin, and none of my DLC will download. Its showing up as purchased, but none of it will download.

 

I ran into this too. You need to download the latest patch (1.05)

Also, you'll need to download the latest Witch Hunt Patch separately as well. I think it was to acknowledge the choice you made regarding the OGB.

If it works the same way ME2 does, you can download and instal the DLC the old-fashioned way, from the BSN.

No, it's a bug. If I remember correctly, it might already installed, it just doesn't recognize that it's installed.

 Maybe you shouldn't use a pirated version of the game ....... :ermm:

 

 

It happens to paid-for versions. For some reason, Origin installs DA:O that is not up to date and won't allow access to all the DLC you paid for. Babaganoosh is correct, patch 1.05 will fix it.

Okay, that's interesting information. Thanks :)

It's like that time pirates pirated Game Dev Tycoon and then were going on the forums asking how to defend against piracy.

Except in this case there is a bug in the default download for legitimate copies that requires a patch.

I don't get how they jumped to the conclusion that I pirated it from mentioning my purchased DLC won't download on the version I got from Origin.

Internet...

 

I once mentioned, in passing, to a WoW guildie that I spend the day clearing Mallware/Spyware out of my PC - he proceeded to hold a long lecture about downloading porn and using microsoft messenger (???) Then he lectured me about the merits of changing all of one's passwords every month.

*shrug* A month later his account got hacked. Only person in the guild to have that happen. I had a good snigger when he told me ;)

I've got the Steam uber-platinum edition of DA:O (it was literally pennies) and I have to say I've had no problems with it, stable as anything, no DLC problems.

Same here.  DA:O was one of the very last, if not THE last, Origin-free EA games, wasn't it?

I have a physical retail copy, but entering the cd key activates it on Origin too, figured I'd do that rather than hunt down the disc(I had activated it much earlier)

Dragon Age 2 also released on Steam, but was pulled once the DLC came out.

 

Crysis 2 is on Steam (pulled once, then put back with a DLC bundle). It's an EA partners game.

Amalur Reckoning is an even more recent EA partners game.

I would imagine the difference is that they put the 1.05 patch on Steam, so because of how they handle updates, those with it on there would automatically get that version. Meanwhile whoever is in charge of putting the latest builds on Origin have just neglected to update the version that you get when you download it through there. It would make life a lot easier if they did for all of their games, rather that having to leave it up to the user to manually update.

 

Perhaps they are better with their other games. I haven't had a problem with my other Origin games, but then again, I only have a few that I've played through it. I usually play my EA games on consoles.

Even my old "Dead Space" successfully activated the physical cd key on Origin and provided me with a digital download, should my physical disk die on me some day ;)

 

As long as it just me provides me with a choice, I'm not too negative about the proprietary client stuff. To be honest, I sort of like that frequently updated games, like the Paradox games, gets updated regularly and automatically on Steam.

Hmm, so a while ago I had made  a guide for Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe on Steam. As the game is a bit obscure, of course initially it had very few views. About 50 in the first couple of months.

Now it has reached 351 views and finally got enough (25) ratings for the rating to show up. So out of 25 ratings I received 3 Stars. Ratings are thumbs up or thumbs down. The thumbs up obviously include myself, the two devs and a couple of other fans of the game.

Now if the 5 star rating is 100% thumbs up and the 0 star rating 100% thumbs down, then the 3 star rating is around 60% thumbs up 40% thumbs down, right? So one could asume we are talking about 15 thumbs up in this case and 10 down. Some of those upvotes obviously have the afforementioned positive bias. Equally one would assume there is a negative bias in a small number of downvotes. With such a small sample though these biased votes can't really be evened out. In this case we could for exmple assume that only 15 votes are statistically relevant. So the rating is a result of 4-5% of the total views? For other guides with more views even less? And all you need is a small group of trolls to push down ratings of random content...

That whole rating system seems like a joke now that I bothered to look at it.

 

/end rant

 

 

edit: I am also fully aware that the rating probably works completly differently and I have no clue how :)

Sorry for my english

 

Hello. I decided to buy the game South Park ™: The Stick of Truth ™ through steam. I live in Kazakhstan and I have the game is worth $ 60 USD but I noticed that on the American steam game worth 60 dollars too. Why, then, is worth a regional restriction? In what sense?

One day I'm going to buy Alpha Protocol when it's on sale and at least try it for an hour. I have no feelings about the game (eg, it looks good/bad), really ... mostly, I haven't gotten it yet because it just hasn't seemed like the type of gameplay I'd be into. But who knows. One day, one day.

Play it on easy just for the choices you can make in the game. I really think you are missing out if you like games with choice and consequence. I have played it twice and things did change more than I was expecting on my second run.

Are you referring to the price alone? This was one of the few new games that is actually cheaper when buying with the Euro. That's Steam's regional pricing for you. I can see there being discrepancies with physical copies because of differences of costs associated with that. Discrepancies with digital copies is garbage. GOG does it right.
