I love Alistair's sarcastic comments every now and then. There are some great conversations between him and Morrigan too. This game is too great, will definitely buy.

What the hell are you yabbering about, sir? The voice acting, and dialogue, is some of the best I've seen or heard in a game..

Chill. I already thanked Proekaan a few pages back. Try reading some more.
Noone asked you to do something. Enjoy the game. Wink

Only need someone who have enabled offline dlc play. That means legit - verified cd key and legit DLC to look into 'document and settings' where enabled dlc is installed and open one of the that DLCs erf files and tell if in the header is ERF V 2.2 or ERF V 2.0 Wink

Open one of the erf files in a hexeditor. Of one of the DLCs we can't get to work. Paste the first bytes/ascii here.

EDIT: It's unicode actually,lol.

Its a longshot.

First test if DLC works for you with net connection disabled.
The go to this fodder "Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns\" enter one of the protected DLCs fodder (dao_prc_nrx_1, dao_prc_cp_2, Golem and Keep) open one of the .ERF files with text editor (notepad) and tell me if first line is "E R F V 2 . 2" or "E R F V 2 . 0"

The game is ultra-awesome, I expected nothing less from the Bioware epic RPG specialists. The fighting is sooo fucking cool, I just hope there's more variety later on.

Are the enemies level-scaled btw ?


Yes to a certain degree. Like 3-5 depending on your lvl.

Your contribution to quest for pirated dlcs is unquestionable, thanks. Even compiling that list to begin with...
But yes, further steps have been requested 4-5 times in this thread since it's been somewhat established that offline play with dlcs is possible.
1. Check if actual decryption of erf files on hdd happens after authorization.
Let's take Warden's Keep for example.
My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns\dao_prc_nrx_1\core\data\designerscripts.erf
Unauthorized file:
size : 10 280 bytes
MD5: 80CFE902832165C80A1025FE0103C8B9
Check if yours is the same.

CIF file to be sure too
AddIns\dao_prc_nrx_1\module\dao_prc_nrx_1.cif
15 666 bytes
MD5: CD467BC90701985545696D30019975DB

MD5 hashes you can get by using HashTab explorer extensions.

Now about suggestion to check header, people do that with hex editors usually, but you may as well open that file with notepad and see if it begins with E R F V 2 . 2(not necessary if it matches unathorized one by md5 surely).

2. Check Profile.dap theory that authorization is stored for offline play in offline profile copy.
My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\Profile.dap
To check this theory logout from your account ingame/put it in offline mode. Restart game, make sure DLC on "Installed content" tab still says it's authorized next to DLC items.
Quit game, rename Profile.dap to Profile.bak, start game. See if it says "unauthorized" now.

The quest for missing DLC is intriguing indeed. Anyway if we figure this thing out that means no screwing us with future DLCs.

ps. yea Sabin 2.2 isn't good news. I think it means that game itself have some quick decoder that opens files when it knows DLC is propperly authorised. Anyways thanx for looking. If you find time, try second step from Proekan and hash checks.

HashTab doesn't work for me. It says "installed" but there's fuck all in the shell menus (Win7-x64)

Here's the hash from another checker;

Code:

80CFE902832165C80A1025FE0103C8B9

and

CD467BC90701985545696D30019975DB


So they match yours (and I bought the DLC)

I'll try your offline check now.


____________________________________


They (Keep and Prisoner) are both loaded, authorised and activated in Logged Out mode. Checked in the DLC tab at the menu, loaded the game and didn't get a prompt about logging in, checked the Journal and Codex to see what DLC was enabled -- they both still are.

Now I'll try the profile rename trick -- and if this messes up my profile or my saves, I'm gonna rip your damned head off Rolling Eyes Razz


____________________________________


Yes! If you rename the profile.dap file, the DLC reverts to unauthorised state. It's encrypted, by the way, but this is the output at the bottom;

 Spoiler:
 


So it definitely stores the DLC information.

^^ Precisely.

As I said, earlier in the thread; I did a lot of testing during - and after - download of the legitimate DLC (which is why I resented the bullshit ungrateful comments about being "too busy to rip" or "not giving a shit and doesn't want to share" -- fuck you. I've done my part, a bunch of us have!) The DLC files are never touched, they're identical - byte for byte - to the ones we linked in my sig. The authentication comes from elsewhere, post-install, and if you don't have that "entitlement" in your profile, they won't work.

Yet Razz


What I want to know, is how Bioware are going to handle DLC for people without home net connections? I think, perhaps, that if you don't have a home net connection - then you're SOL, as DLC won't work until you've auth'd at least once.

That's what I originally thought too, but mine doesn't mate. I, obviously, don't have a legit key -- and even offline, with no net connection, the game DLC still works.

Has anyone figured out how to change your character's portrait? I got to the first town so now I am starting to get a party together and noticed that I do not really like the one I picked as it seems out of scale with the rest of the party. I tried making a new character and just renamed/replaced the new portrait with the old one in the save file but that did not seem to work so there must be some place in the save where it references the character settings for looks and portraits.

Gonna try to test if I can actually play the new quests.

Just head to camp and get the Soldier's Peak quest, see if you get the map-marker (north on the main map) That will tell you for sure.

As for the others? That's VERY odd... are they ALL unauthorised?? They shouldn't be, just the ones in my sig that specifically state "unauthorised" (Collector's Edition and all that) Can you screencap the DLC tab please? I'm curious to know which ones don't work for you.
