Large Address Aware .exe?

[paladin181]

I've been playing this game a little for a few days, mostly trying to get it modded back to where I liked it when I was playing it 2 years ago. I really enjoyed the texture mods, but the game would jerk and freeze if I went to Denerim. So I enabled Large Address Awareness. Great! It worked fantastic.

I've since moved and no longer have my discs. So I decided to buy the game on Steam since I loved the game (no matter that I now detest EA and won't but anything that has their name on it nowadays) and really wanted to get it again. But I get error 51 everytime I try to enable large address awareness in this game now. It baffles me because it works on FO3 and FONV, It worked on Skyrim before Bethesda released a LAA .exe in a patch, and it works on other games I play in Steam as well. What am I doing wrong here that I can't enable LAA on DAOrigins.exe?

Oh wow. I had forgotten about this. I'll run it through Origin then. Thanks for the heads up and looking out on an old topic.

just ran into the same problem so i thought id share the hard earned knowledge :)

ive got it all running now, its totally easy (tm)
- register key in the origin client
- redownload the game completely through origin, rename the steam game folder temporarily to convince origin that it isnt installed.
- dont worry your savegames are compatible and will be used, make a copy of your bioware folder in your documents folder just to be safe.
- patch the exe using cff explorer or the standalone 4gb patch thing
- install all of the texture packs ^^
- log in at the bioware page using your origin login, register the main ultimate edition game key there again...
- push the refresh button in the origin client
- start the game. in the game, log in again using your origin login.
- then, if it still doesnt want to load your savegame due to DLC licensing, edit the settings/addins.xml and change all the RequiresAuthorization="1" to RequiresAuthorization="0"

and you can have it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall
