Even if you downgrade Witcher 3, how can you run it? It won't run without updating. Go to Steam and change to this: Only update this game when I launch it You should have an option to skip the update when you launch the game.

Errors are because your mods aren't compatible with the brand new 4.04 patch Either wait for the mods to update, or you can downgrade your game to 4.03 You can downgrade in GOG Galaxy easily enough. I'm waiting on a 49GB download and I've disabled further updates. Wish I'd thought to disable updates beforehand, but whatever. I should be up and playing soon. It's also possible to downgrade in Steam, although it's a few more steps. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-downgrade-steam-games/

I've newly installed SSE and have followed your instructions to clean my masters. My CRCs are different. I guess they've updated since your guide was written. After the automatic and manual clean, this is what I ended up with. Update.esm - 720EAC2B Dawnguard.esm - 5E276A10 HearthFires.esm - 39C80A37 Dragonborn.esm - 7C7D9763

Don't you want the one for daorigins.exe v1.05? :ermm: It's up to v1.05? Steam will give me v1.05 whether I want it or not... I'll look for an appropriate exe whenever I get around to reinstalling DA:O UE. Thanks for the heads up, Thandal.

Thank you. I found the vitality daorigins.exe. Hashes match yours. I'll store it away for when I reinstall DA:O UE v1.04.

Seeing as you can't have both the original and Ultimate Edition of DA in parallel on Steam, here are some popular hashes for the UE version. DAOrigins.exe File Version: 1.04.12393.0 Size: 10.0 MB (10,585,320 bytes) CRC-32: 13A4005B MD5: E2AF297385A6CA054F4CF3041346BA7E SHA-1: 87AC3E92EEB7B6560A836F2192CA09B265F0758C If you have Steam DA:Origins [not Ultimate Edition], then can you please post the hash here. If the hashes match perfectly, then just post one of them. If the hashes are different, then please include all three hashes, the file version, and byte size. You can get the hashes, etc. from a nity little program called FileAlyzer 2.

That might not be the case with the Steam versions. I came across this on the Dragon Age wiki: If you have the Steam version of Dragon Age: Origins, then you can use the -enabledeveloperconsole switch. If you have the Steam version of Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition, then the -enabledeveloperconsole switch does not work. The dev console can only be enabled by editing an xml file. To be honest, I'm not sure if this means that there's a difference between the two DAOrigins.exe on Steam, but I suspect it does.

No, you can't do that with Steam. Probably not with any other digital distro service either. Personally, I've never run into a situation like that on a Steam game. I usually wait until a year or more past a game's release date so that major bugs have been ironed out and interesting mods have appeared before purchasing. That's why I'm only getting around to DA:O now. It's annoying that this LAA flag issue hasn't already been solved [nor declared unsolvable] by DA:O gamers in the past. This is exactly the kind of situation that usually makes me happy to wait a year before purchasing.

It does seem that way, but Steam has never minded when I've set the LAA flag in other games. I've come to appreciate having all of my games in one set of directories, rather than mixed up with a hundred other programs in /program files/*. There's no need to wonder whether a particular game is in /program files/electronic arts/ or /bioware/ or /lucasarts/, because they're all together and sorted by game name. It makes backing up the game content directories much simpler. You can turn auto-updates off for any game that you like. You're correct about it not having a mechanism for patch rollbacks... but I can't think of any game that does that. It's certainly not an industry standard feature. Yeah, I get that. I should point out that the resulting file hashes are different. There must be a difference [however slight] in how the two programs set the LAA flag.

I decided to try the FO3 3GB Enabler instead, just to rule out the 4GB Patch as the cause. I recovered the backup DAOrigins.exe file [i didn't just use the FO3 patch on top of the 4GB patch] and applied the patch. I verified that the header had actually been changed, but... Unfortunately, I get exactly the same error at exactly the same time in startup sequence. I'm running Win7 64bit. edit: More details. Error code 51 is a Steam specific error. It can usually be solved in other games by either re-verifying the game content, or disabling a certain piece of interfering software [esp. F-Secure]. That doesn't seem to be the case for us with DA:O - UE. Placing the original non-modified DAOrigins.exe back in place will allow the game to run. Obviously, that's not an optimal solution. We want our LAA flag. Running DAOrigins.exe [whether via DAOriginsLauncher.exe or directly], with or without Run as Admin privileges, causes an immediate error and crash. The error message is: Application load error 3:0000065432

Does anyone have a solution for this? angelsavior9mm? endersblade? I also set the Large Address Aware flag on the DAOrigins.exe file. Every time I try to start the game, the Dragon Age launcher appears. I then click Play, and within a few seconds get an error message from Steam which reads: "Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition failed to start (error code 51)." I should add that this is a brand new install of DA:O - UE. I haven't added any mods, etc. All I've done is fire up the game for 20 minutes, save, quit, and used the 4gb Patch. I'm fairly sure. I use the well regarded automatic tool, 4GB Patch. So long as you know which exe you want to patch, it's perfectly idiot proof. http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php
