No dlc show up, update method not working
I bought the UE of the game, but i didn't have luck with the update method. It stops halfway and automatically tries to log me into bioware' s site, but doesn't accept the dlc key from steam.
Maybe if I have the UE icon it automatically recognizes every dlc but doesn't list them in the dlc window?

As the update method you mean the following method, right?

In the game menu go to the installed content list and see if it's all listed there and showing as enabled. If so then you're good to go.

However, sometimes Steam fails to run the required .exe files during it's first run. If nothing is showing up in the installed list then go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Dragon Age Ultimate Edition\redist
and run the file named
DAOU_UpdateAddinsXML_Steam.exe
this will add all your installed DLC to the addins.xml file so the game knows it's installed. Your DLC should then all be showing as installed and enabled and you're good to go.

I didn't enter the game itself, but after the install I immediately ran the updater.
Meanwhile I registered the game in Origin too, and it shows every dlc there.

I am a little bit confused now, are you trying to launch the game on Origin or Steam ?

I tried to launch it from steam, but i couldn't manage the dlc content to show up this is why I tried to register on Origin, and it shows every dlc as 'installed'.

Have you verified your game files on Steam and have you tried what I said in my first post ?

First exit Steam completely and restart it and then try these.

Launch the game once and check what content you have in the game.

I launched the game via steam, and all the dlc show up ingame marked as 'enabled' but at the steam icon, it only show da:o ue dlc key. Is this enough or should I see all dlc separately right clicking the steam icon and in dlc content?

It is normal to see only DA:Origins UE if you look at it that way.

If you can see all the DLC in Installed Content tab and if you can see the DLC campaigns in Other Campaigns menu, you have no problems at all.
