Hi all,
I'm having a bit of difficulty with the DLC to Dragon Age: Origins and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it for me. On both my Xbox 360 and Xbox One I have Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition installed. Booting the game digitally on Xbox 360 (or from the main game disc) shows and allows me to access the DLC. On Xbox One though, the DLC is not showing up as owned (it wants me to rebuy it). I have tried booting digitally, booting from the main game disc, and booting from the DLC disc. All three on Xbox One just boot the vanilla version and want me to rebuy the DLC again. I even tried going into my external HDD where Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition is stored, making sure the DLC is there and installed which it is, and booting it from there but the same scenario happens. Any ideas or thoughts about what is going on? Am I missing something?
Three and a half months later
As everyone knows, the XB360 BC stuff is getting the newer emulator applied to them. I noticed and downloaded the
Dragon Age: Origins one the other day and finally got a chance to boot the game this morning. Again, making sure the DLC from the Ultimate Edition disc was installed as well as the DLC disc itself in the system I booted the game. As the game continued to boot it got to the "Checking Downloadable Items" section and it froze for about three minutes (the "wheel" kept spinning and a single note from the music was repeated over and over and over again). Afterwards it went straight to the dashboard menu of the game. From there checking Download Content revealed about a third of it was recognized and the other two-thirds was available for purchase. I booted my save and it refused to boot because I had not downloaded and installed the
Blood Dragon Armor so it kicked me back out to the dashboard menu of the game again. I once more went into Download Content and the
Blood Dragon Armor was marked as "downloaded." I clicked it and hit Download Again and was booted back to the Download Content menu whereas every piece of DLC was now marked as Downloaded. Booted my save again and it loaded just fine and all the DLC was finally there in-game, too. I quit the game and re-booted it just to make sure and, yes, all the DLC was still there without me having to do anything.
I believe back in June I was having an issue with the Games with Gold vanilla version causing some sort of miscommunication with my disc Ultimate Edition copy. I'm posting this so that anyone else who was caught in the same situation may want to download the latest update to the game and try again.
