With the below fixes & patches, I am able to run the game in 1920x1200 fullscreen, very high graphic effects, high textures but no AA if you want the frame buffer effects enabled. To fix the movie issue (from no display to at least something) i applied this patch: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20469 To fix the black texture issue during gameplay, I applied this patch: bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22894 I am running nvidia 190.42, Kubuntu 9.10 64bit.

If you go on another desktop and then come back to Dragon Age window, you should notice keys on keyboard don't work anymore.
In fact, wine thinks the keys Crtl and Alt are still hold.
The workaround is simple : hit crtl key, then alt key with focus on Dragon Age window : the keyboard should work again
If you are affected by this bug, please warn Wine team about it on wine bugzilla :
If you see black screen or flickering during the cutscenes or/and on the main screen, you will need to run winetricks strictdrawordering=enabled
If you are affected by this bug, please report it on the wine bugzilla to help Wine team to solve it : Bug 22383
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 you can install them using the "daupdater.exe", which requires dotnet20 (.NET Framework2.0).you can install it using winetricks :
winetricks dotnet20
In order to install the required components for Dragon Age DLC's, you will have to create a 32 bits wineprefix and install everything there (Dragon Age Origin included).
To create your 32 bits prefix : WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg
To start winetricks in that prefix : WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winetricks
To run Dragon Age from this prefix : WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix wine /path/to/DragonAge/daorigins.exe
If you experiment any bug listed above, or any non listed bugs, please report it to wine bugzilla, specifying your wine version : http://bugs.winehq.org/
This will help wine team to solve them.If you see black screen flickering during the cutscenes or/and on the main screen, you will need to run winetricks strictdrawordering=enabled

You will need this if the following helps you with these issues:
- Set Texture Quality to "Medium" or "Low". The crashes should no longer occur.
As a permanent fix (to be able to play with Texture Quality set to "High") just follow the instructions outlined here: www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/. Make sure to apply this flag to *daorigins.exe*. After this you should no longer get any crashes (e.g. I'm playing with everything maxed out and AAx4).

not sure if this is the "black flickering" mentioned above, but for me, a whole lot of the dialog scenes are actually just black screen, rarely is it not so.
I set strictdrawordering to enabled, did no good. I activated CSMT and deactivated it, no dice either. This is on wine 1.9.16 staging on ubuntu 14.4 with an nvidia GTX 750 Ti

here is the terminal output at the point when i think it starts having the problem, though: pastebin.com/fgCX4U2z
is this related to an acknowledged problem? does anyone have an idea of how to fix it?
by nskaran on Wednesday March 26th 2014, 23:02
this may or may not be the same problem i was having with the direct launch, but maybe with this info someone will be able to figure out what's going on here. the Terminal output when the crash happens is "wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x43d12f55 at address 0x43d12f55 (thread 004d), starting debugger..."
hopefully this helps! let me know if there's some other info i should give that might make my problem clearer. does anyone have any idea what i should do?
