Unable to connect to Dragon Age servers. Please try again

[DeadParade]

I've been trying to log in (in game) to get my dlc authorized, but it's been impossible,
i don't even understand why it's necessary since it launches origin every time i open an EA game which is already logged into my origin account but okay, i tried changing my password too but that didn't do anything.

I just keep getting the same message "Unable to connect to Dragon Age servers. Please try again" so if anybody has any advice I'd welcome it.

Same issue. Hoping it's resolved soon

Yeah, exactly my problem. I saw a few fixes online, but none of them had worked yet. I've even tried modifying certain code lines to authorize it, but while I had gotten it to claim the DLC were authorized, they don't actually appear in the game. I understand DLC story content appears later in the acts, but there's no delivery chest in the house, and there's no black emporium, so all I can imagine is authorization only works with being logged in nowadays. I just can't log in lol.

Only thing I hadn't tried is reaching out to a EA help line as of this moment, but all the previous fixes came from the EAHelp forums, from similar authorization problems. I'll look into reaching out to them, and let you know if I find out anything. I can only imagine there's some difficulty between steam and origin/EA connectivity, but origin recognizes I have steam, it tells me I have it on steam, and it recognizes it's all installed, so it's annoying for sure.

I don't know what to say except maybe check your internet connection.

Never had this issue before. And this probably aren't replicable.

Maybe try to log into your origin app first make sure you're in and then try to start the game from origin.

Good luck.

Same issue. Reinstalling on a different drive didn't work.

Apparently this has been happening to people for a while, with no clear solution. If the DLCs don't work anymore, they probably shouldn't be selling them.

Same here, on the ea answer forums is many way to fix this issues, but non of them are working for me. I think one good log in in game will be enough to run dlc properly. If anybody find the way to log in, please let me know.

Was just coming here to post about this issue. My hubby, brother, and I tried for hours yesterday. We scoured ea and steam, I contacted the eahelp twice. No luck. Was really hoping there was someone here on steam who might be able to help.

I found this solution:

go into intalled folder > addins > here are all the dlcs intalled, so enter every folder and open manifest.xml that way you'll see the name of that particular dlc > now only edit those manifest.xml (open with notepad to edit) that you have problem with and erase MID="XXX" (xxx-different number for different dlc) and check if Required Authorization="0" save and you're good to go

Seems to do the trick to authorize your DLC without having to connect but for me they are still not showing in the game.

[DeadParade]

Yeah, i tried a ton of things that were in the EA help forums like changing the manifest file in the addins files but while it changed the the dlc to authorized they didn't get added into the game it's a cosmetic change i think not the authorization. (as in it changes the text itself not the dlc autorization)

I called Ea help line too, twice btw. No help whatsoever, told me the game was too old,
had me do the most brain dead fixes like uninstall steam/origin/the game and reinstall it.

[SorPorquinho 🐽]

I'm having the same issue and I there isn't a solution ! They shouldn't sell the game if they can't validate the dlc this is beyond scummy

Hey everyone finally got it to work, you have to have Dragon age Origins for this to work.
log in Origins then also open Dragon age 2 and try logging in. someone just posted this on another thread which is where i found it. It's kinda ridiculous that this worked and i know everyone isn't going to want to spend and extra 30 dollars to get another game to get this one to work, but what can you do?

This actually fixed it for me. I have no idea how but logging into DAO first allowed me to log into DA2 after and all of my DLC was activated.
