Game not showing all the DLC?

[Batman]

Hello, my game is not showing all the DLC from the Ultimate edition. I tried using Vortex to install some nexus mods but it seemed like the game preferred using the old DAModmanager program for the old .overide and .dazip files. Anyways how do I get my game to show all my dlc?

running into that same problem myself and havent found a solution yet. Everything was fine until I tried running Vortex for mods and now no DLC is showing

I could be wrong but maybe the mods for the game are too old to be really vortex friendly? /SIGH ... why cant anything be easy. Someone please help us.

I've been trying to fix this for days. I can't download them because the server is down apparently, I tried doing it manually but it just doesn't register them. I've played them before on windows 7, I'm not sure if perhaps it's because of my OS, and all the fixes I've seen are for running it on Origin, not steam. I've tried everything suggested in the pinned posts, it's driving me slightly mad

I think I found a fix!
Follow the directions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_U73-p6iW0
Also:
1. type "services" in the win10 search, go to the DragonAge one and right click it, go to properties and make sure it is set to automatic and not manual.
2. Download ALL the DLC's via the manual installation guide towards the bottom of this page http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Downloadable_content_(Origins)
3. Follow the steps on that page and from the video, basically they are all in dazip format.

This fixed it for me! Now I just need to figure out how to get the dang mods working as well.

You guys know that we have this information in pinned topic?

Ultimate Edition comes with ALL DLCs. They just need to be activated.

Ilja, I did say I've tried everything in the pinned posts, they haven't worked.

SithWizard, it might work for some people but I've tried that, it doesn't do it for me for whatever reason

Only reason I can gather is permissions. Are you sure that your security applications are not blocking the process?

Yeah

I apologize in advance for the large text wall, it really is not as bad as it seems, trust me.

Custom player&NPC hairstyles, custom player morphs, custom player classes, custom specializations, custom locations that your inside of on the save, and npc apparel custom replacers would be the issue. Ex: Your player character had all these, the character would most likely be naked, mushy faced, and bald. Same can go for certain npcs. The game would tell you it can't load your game if your character used an entirely new class from a mod, and was at a custom location at the time of the save.

Before we take the steps into uninstallation, there could be maybe one last thing to check:

Enable Inbound rules for anything Dragon Age Origins, Updater, and Ultimate edition via Windows Firewall:
- Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to launch Run.
Type wf.msc into the dialog box and press enter.
- Once the window appears for wf.msc, which should read on the top of the new window as "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security", click anything labeled with "Dragon Age", and click "Enable Rule" to the right of the Inbound Rules list.

If you know of other ways to access either Services or Firewall Advanced Secruity, feel free to do your own method of accessing them. If this doesn't solve the issue in your present install, continue to the following instructions below:

Uninstall the game, delete all leftover folders/files inside Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age folder except for Character folder to keep your save games, delete all leftover game install files as well, and reinstall the game. After installing the game, do the following over again:

1. Go to your game install folder, open the folder named "redist", and run "DAUServiceSetup_Steam.exe" as Admin. To run as Admin, right click the exe file, and click the option in the pop up menu "Run as administrator".

2. Go the the same redist folder in 1., and run "DAOU_UpdateAddinsXML_Steam.exe" as Admin.

Ex. : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dragon Age Ultimate Edition\redist

3. Windows key + R to open the Run app, type "Services.msc" in the dialog box, enter, look for "Dragon Age: Origins - Content Updater, right click, and click "Start".

After that is done, I recommend doing the following if you haven't already done so before:

(Note: If you were already going to do this after install, you can skim it to my conclusion.)

The Affinity Fix for Origins: The game was designed for older lower count core cpus compared to modern cpus. Using modern cpus by default with Origins often results in strange glitches, crashing, and bugs in the game. WIth the following link to a guide, you'll be able to tell the game to only use 1 core of your cpu so the game runs as it was designed to be ran. Resulting in better stability. Skim the guide to the section labelled "Frequent random crashes" and follow the instructions. By all means, try doing the other fixes mentioned on the guide if you wish too. You can't go wrong either way: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=260437327

The LAA Patch for Origins: Origins amount of Ram/Memory that it can use is limited due to it being an older title. With the Patch, you'll be able to enable the game to more amounts of RAM/Memory for better stability. A link to the guide detailing the method of install. I recommend just installing the pre-patched exe, but if you wish to do it manually, go right ahead: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=233222451

Quinn's Ultimate Fix Pack: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/4689

This mod above will fix a variety of issues within origins, including strange glitches, and crashes.

Run the game in Compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). The game has a variety of issues running on modern Windows operating systems, 7 and up. Running the game in Compatibility mode will help ensure better stability, along with the LAA Patch, and the Affinity fix. To run the game in Compatibility mode, go to your games install/binship folder, right click "DAOrigins.exe" or "DAOrigins", and click the option in the pop-up menu "Properties". In the "DAOrigins.exe Properties" window, click the tab labeled "Compatibility", click the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", and select "Window XP (Service Pack 3)" in the drop down box under "Run this program in compatibility mode for:".

Enable Inbound rules for anything Dragon Age Origins, Updater, and Ultimate edition via Windows Firewall:
- Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to launch Run.
Type wf.msc into the dialog box and press enter.
- Once the window appears for wf.msc, which should read on the top of the new window as "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security", click anything labeled with "Dragon Age", and click "Enable Rule" to the right of the Inbound Rules list.

It is recommended to do all of the four for max stability for the game. So after doing everything mentioned in this great wall of text, everything should be good. If not, please let me know, and we will try something else.

The quote above is from another discussion similar to this, I know you have already done possibily most of what is mentioned, but try doing all of it in the exact order from start to finish . It may possibily result in better results then prior attempts. If in need of further assistance, let me know, and I will reply as soon as I am able.
