Dragon Age: Origins/Awakening v1.05 Patch Released

There are a lot of small issues still plaguing Dragon Age: Origins and its standalone Awakening expansion pack, but unfortunately the new v1.05 patch only addresses some DLC authentication and performance issues. And based on some of the “it broke the game!” feedback coming in on the official forums, you might want to just skip this one over if the problems it’s meant to solve aren’t causing you any trouble:

General Fixes

DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT

Downloadable content will properly authenticate once installed.

PERFORMANCE

Fixed an issue where some users with DirectX10-era video cards were experiencing significant lag within menus and interfaces as well as sudden spikes in area load times.

Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition Fixes

INSTALLATION

The Ultimate Edition installer for the EA Download Manager (EADM) version of the game was placing the CD-Key in the wrong location in the Windows registry. EADM has been replaced with EA’s Origin system and this error has been corrected in the new Origin installer. For those who purchased and installed the Ultimate Edition via EADM, the Patch 1.05 installer will copy that CD-Key into the correct Windows registry location.
