Hi, I followed everything as instructed and ended up getting all right i believe but, now when i start to boot up dragon age, steam hits me with "error code 51" and says it cannot launch game. Have I done something wrong?? Very confused.
Hi there. I downloaded the file and it worked okay the way you explained, but I have a question: Is there a way to make Steam still count the hours played with this file? I know it's probably because it targets the launcher, and Steam doesn't count the game hours after the launcher closes. I tried editing the file to target the game but I didn't work when I started it through Steam, unfortunately.
Hi I have uploaded the file as .txt you should be able to download now :) Please read the changed instructions in the description Thanks! And happy gaming
Hi, I did all you explained, but if I start playing from steam it says "error ocurred: the executable is missing", if I try to access direcly by ckicking in the .bat file it opens the DAO launcher, but when I click play and starts searching for my pc info stops working.
Firstly, thank you so much for this mod. Who knew something so 'simple' could be so effective! I was just wondering a couple of things (sorry in advance if they're incredibly noob-y).
1. Do I need to start the game each time through the .bat file? 2. If I DO need to start it through the .bat each time, is there a way of making it so the Console accessible? Since they moved everything over to the new EA launcher, you can only access the Game and Console through launching the game through EA directly. I haven't been able to add the console command to the properties on the dragonage.exe anymore (I hope this makes sense).
AHHH I FEEL SO NERDY!! I literally just added -enabledeveloperconsole (with a space) at the end of text of your mod (it's still a .bat file), and it seems to have worked!
Happened to start my very first run right after you posted this, my first crash luckily led me to look on here and it hasn't crashed again even in sessions that were several hours long (and with a few other mods). Running perfectly smooth So I just wanted to leave a quick Thank you. Probably saved me a lot of time ^^
Hi thanks for downloading. I see its because the file wasn't targeting the launcher could you download the steam version and change the command in Steam to "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dragon Age Ultimate Edition\launchaffinity_steam.bat" %command%
Also place the new file in the root Dragon Age Ultimate Edition directory not in bin_ship
Followed the instructions precisely ... When I tried to start the game, I got a virus warning and a comment that my PC successfully prevented a malicious software or something like that from starting ... Thanks! (It was probably just a false alert. But still .... -.- )
Hey, its just a 1 line command in the .bat file that you can open and view for yourself in a text editor. All it does is set CPU affinity to 8 cores like you would do manually in task manager each time but does so using the command.
This is the command "%comspec% /C start /normal /affinity 1ff daorigins.exe" if you google the command (without the .exe) you will see its been used to fix other old games for modern hardware too.

What can I do?
1. Do I need to start the game each time through the .bat file?
2. If I DO need to start it through the .bat each time, is there a way of making it so the Console accessible? Since they moved everything over to the new EA launcher, you can only access the Game and Console through launching the game through EA directly. I haven't been able to add the console command to the properties on the dragonage.exe anymore (I hope this makes sense).
Thanks in advance for your help!!
