A problem with BioWare’s authorisation servers made it impossible to play saved games in the PC version of Dragon Age: Origins from last week Friday until earlier this morning.
According to Arstechnica, Dragon Age: Origins players who tried to play the game on Friday morning discovered that their DLC was flagged as “unauthorized”, which rendered their save games unusable. This has been confirmed by a 50+ page forum thread on the Bioware forums.
The error has supposedly been fixed, according to Bioware’s Rob Bartel:
“Over the April 9, 2011 weekend, some of our Dragon Age: Origins content servers experienced an as yet unidentified failure. As a result, users began to experience error messages when attempting to access their downloadable content, indicating that the DLC was unauthorized.
We apologize for the inconvenience and are currently investigating and working to resolve the issue on our end. We will update this thread once we know more.
UPDATE – Tuesday, April 12, 5:40 PM
We’re continuing to investigate, both here and at EA. We have some theories about what is occurring but no firm fix at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and request your patience while our engineers continue working towards a solution.
Thank you.
