Dragon Age: Origins DLC failed
Hey forum.
I'm having trouble downloading DLC or DAO.
It shows as DLC in the Downloadable Content section -- but download fails every time I try to download it.
What's more -- it indicated that I need "Required Game Version 1.0".
Can anyone help. Not getting much help on forums elsewhere.
Don't know if this will help but its worth a shot.. 4th post someone explained how they fixed their issue. Hope it helpsOriginally Posted by Vampothic

Have my Dragon Armour, just need to download the Shale DLC now.
You should try all this through Origin. You'll realise precisely how rubbish it is.
Is this through the normal retail install or Steam?
You can download most of the DLC files for offline use from https://social.bioware.com/user_entitlements.php
Should save a bit of grief in future...
It's a retail copy. Got it with the purchase of a controller.
You can link the serial to Origin, if you like. Then at least no more need for a disc.
I'm not sure how you got the DLC (I suppose you downloaded it in-game?) but downloading the files from the website is much faster/easier, especially if you use a download manager like DownThemAll for Firefox that can segment and download the file in multiple parts.
Although, that's my experience. I get about 500kB/s down from the BioWare servers whereas I get full-speed from the EA servers. You'd think they'd be the same. Go fig.
Don't know why I didn't think of redeeming it through Origin. Thank you very much, Lycan.
I don't think you can redeem a retail version of DAO through Origin. Could be wrong, though.
Can. I have
Because it's Origin and it works for shit.
Just to clarify, you can't download the DLC via Origin either. And DA:O will be downloaded as version 1.0 and will need to be patched. And if you have Awakening (the expansion) as well, then you'll need to install that before you patch it otherwise everything will break.
Origin. Sucks. BUT, it means no need for a CD, so whatever
It is possible to download the DLC outside of the game - and having it work in game.Can. I have

social.bioware.com allows the consumer to download the DLC and using the daupdater located within the Dragon Age - Origins folder - allows the player to install the DLC using that Content Updater. Whereby preventing needed it try an download it through the game's download manager.
