Have you activated the keys on the Bioware site?

Right click on the game and choose View Downloable Content.

I only have the game directly on Origin, so I can't tell you what it looks like on Steam.

no but I have all the other DLCs already, didnt think I had to do anything else, I will try that, thanks

Have you tried to activate here?

I would imagine it comes installed with the whole package?

To access the "Awakening" campaign for Dragon Age, please first make sure you have the Awakening expansion fully downloaded. If you purchased the game as a separate purchase or package download, it will appear as its own entry in your games list.

Once this is done, launch the game from the "Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening" entry in Steam.

NOTE: If you purchased Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition, the Awakening Expansion is automatically integrated and included with the main download.


Once you have loaded the game, at the main menu for the game under "Load" will be an entry marked "Other Campaigns". Choose this and select the "Dragon Age: Awakening" campaign.

If you are unable to access the "Other Campaigns" menu, please verify the GCF for both Dragon Age: Origins, and Awakening:
Title: Verifying Game Cache Files (GCF)
Link: http://support.steampowered.com/kb_a...2037-QEUH-3335

After the verification is complete, navigate to the folder where Dragon Age is installed (by default C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\dragon age origins\)

Find the folder marked "redist", and run the following files:
DAO_UpdateAddinsXml.exe
DAO_UpdateAddinsXml_Steam.exe

Start the game, and re-test the issue.

Even if it's integrated in the download, it still requires activation on your Bioware Social/Origin account.

ok activated on the Bioware site you gave me as Ultimate edition, may just do a reinstall and see if it shows up now. and that was the problem I purchased the ultimate edition so I figured it would included and it was not but it is registered now under my profile. Maybe a reinstall will fix it now. thanks for the help either way

No reinstall necessary. Just launch the game and login with the same account you used on the Bioware page. That should unlock everything.
