Copy contents from XP system "Documents and Settings/username/My Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/" to "/home/username/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/username/My Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age"

Game config (found here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckC5TezlP2o), I don't know if it's really necessary

Known bugs
Bug # Description Status Resolution Other apps affected
22091 Dragon Age Awakening setup crashes with ntdll error NEW View
22557 Dragon Age: Origins massive flickering and black screen NEW View

 
HOWTO stop the flickering black movies and fix the sound

If you see black screen flickering during the cutscenes and on the main screen, you will need to run winetricks strictdrawordering=enabled

To get winetricks, see http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

 If the sound cuts out permanently after a couple of minutes (eg during character creation) then you will need to run winecfg, go to the Audio tab, and change Hardware Acceleration to "emulation"


 
HOWTO get DLC content working

Downloading the DLCs manually seems currently the only way to get them working.

You can find the downloads in the Redeemed DLC Unofficial Troubleshooting and FAQ, section 4.1.

Afterwards install them using the "daupdater.exe" (requires NET 2.0). Please note that they still require online validation.

 
HOWTO Language version mismatch
If the installer complains that the language version of Awakening does not match the language of the base game, install the newest patch manually prior to installing Awakening.
Awakening itself is shipped with patch 1.03 which is located in the "patch" folder on the DVD.

 
HOWTO Manual installation
(Copied from Jan Masko's 2010-03-24 test result)

1.manually extract .rar data files
2.add to ~/BioWare/Dragon Age/Settings/AddIns.xml data from /addins/dao_prc_ep_1/manifest.xml (do not duplicate header commands)
3.in game select Other Campaigns and play

Also PhysX, DirectX9, MS VCrun2003 and no-cd crack are required to run game(same as normal game)

Game seems to be broken with wine 1.1.41

Voices sound problem
by someone on Sunday April 14th 2013, 15:56
If you don't get any sound from the voice who relate the story in the cinematic and the voices from the new characters, check if you have 2 addins folders in your Bioware directory (in your /home).

Problem can be solved by moving all the content from one of the directory to the other one.

No voices with expansion characters
by someone on Wednesday April 10th 2013, 16:08
I installed manually (extracting .rar files and modifying the Addins.xml).
Addon works but the new characters doesn't have voice sound...

Unsync sound...
by Mariano on Wednesday July 25th 2012, 21:05
Hey, running the game with all DLCs, no problems at all, with wine 1.4. The problem is sound is a bit "late" (about 1 second behind), which is seriously annoying (specially during all those nice movie scenes). :)

Anyone had a similar problem?

Other Campaigns
by Alok on Saturday May 8th 2010, 6:59
I followed the directions here, but the "other campaigns" button is greyed out. The core game is working for new games (haven't tried saved games yet, had to reinstall so have to fix DLC issues). Any ideas why I can't access the expansion?
