List of Fixes For DragonAge Origins (PC) Errors

Update : Since there are so many ways for this game Dragon Age crash. so before looking into the solutions below, try this solution posted by Odess81
Just disable full screen play. It should boot no problem. After you’re in the game, you can manually reconfig the full screen mode

Problem #1 : Dragon Age crashing to desktop on random intervals
Solution : If you are an ATI user (specially those who use Catalyst 9.9 drivers), downgrade your video card driver to Catalyst 9.7. There are issues with running Dragon Age on ATI Catalyst 9.9 and should be fixed with the next Catalyst update

Problem #2: Dragon Age error message “Error: Could not connect to EA Core”
Solution: Open up the EA Download Manager and enter your serial number for the game there to activate it. I did that and it works fine now.

Solution: Your firewall or anti-virus may be preventing EADM/EA Downloader from connecting to it’s server. Disable your firewall and anti-virus then try again
Solution: Reinstall EADM/EA Downloader

Problem #3 Cannot register to Dragon Age Social site problem (Cannot download Dragon Age DLC, toolset)
Solution : Known issue with no available workaround yet. So far, we know that this is an issue with EA and not Bioware… greedy bastards at EA should burn in hell.

Problem #4 Dragon Age error message “we could not activate Dragon Age on this computer” appears when trying to activate the game.

Prior to the release of Windows 7, the current EA Download Manager application (version 5.1.0.4) had been developed, tested, and released for Windows XP and Windows Vista (32 bit). Upon further testing, we discovered that the current version of the EA Download Manager may not be fully compatible with Windows 7.

Our rigorous QA and development process helps ensure the outstanding gaming experience you’ve come to expect, and the production process for the EADM is no exception.

- Right clicking a friendly unit issues a follow_guard command, attacking enemies near the target unit
