msdeath62 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Good morning. I have tried every suggestion found on the net on activating the console in DAO with no luck. What is the right way to activate the console? I have the Steam version of DAO Ultimate Edition. Thanks for any help that can be provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It will depend on how recently you downloaded/installed/updated your copy of DAO.Check for the file "\Dragon Age\data\DAOriginsLauncher.xml" in your "\Steam\games" folder. I've not heard anyone with a Steam install say they got the Console working any way except by adding the required line to the Launcher's parameters. Since EA removed the Launcher from the game (and from the ME-series as well) Steam users may be stuck, as Steam absolutely prevents players from modifying the core executables, (which Steam seems to think adding a start-up parameter is doing.) It's one of the reasons I tell people to uninstall the Steam version and get the EA/Origin one. Your product code is valid for both, so there's no charge. Then you can simply create the desktop shortcut to the game with the Console's start-up string included. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thandal Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So... tell us what you did to get things sorted! I'm sure other Steam users would appreciate it. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
