Exactly. It's in a directly corresponding place on the Mac - in ~/Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/Characters.
It did bitch about my not having the respec mod installed on my Mac, but I just told it to ignore that. I had installed that mod under Windows, though I then decided not to actually take advantage of it, so I felt pretty safe in ignoring it.
Login problems
Hi
I am a total newbie to Mac, just bought the iMac last week and I really enjoyi it, however I have a problem with this game.
When I start the game and want to login I cannot type the '@' in my email adress. I have tried the alt+' which works everywhere else. I have also tried to copy/paste the @ but it does not work.
Any ideas?
I am using the Apple Wireless keyboard.
Thanks in advance and merry Christmas

The username is the email.
After browsing various forums I have learned that many Europeans have the same problem. So I guess it is a bug and I will just wait for EA/Bioware to provide a fix
Make sure you submit a support ticket to EA/Bioware and let them know your having a problem otherwise they may just sit on it. Not being able to login to a game you purchased is a pretty big deal at least for me
Congrats on your iMac and Merry Christmas!
Sorry, didn't know
.I have heard good things about this game, but I have a couple of questions. Aren't the console and computer versions different in combat? In what way is it? Does the Mac version include all DLC and does it run well on an Ati Radeon 2400?
Found this in the Bioware forums - maybe it can help you
ok I got in ... !!!
thanks to Aries101! /bow
I went to: system preferences > language & text > input sources and besides "Belgian" I also selected "U.S." and checked the "Show Input menu in menu bar"
=> go to the menu bar and make sure U.S. is selected and startup DOA
=> go to logon screen and use SHIFT+2 to get the @ character, be careful other chars are also mapped. (azerty vs qwerty)
=> then you can alt-tab out of the game and re-select your default input source
Yea. Got the UK version too (Digital Deluxe) and the game says "The activation key you entered was not found in our database." Nice way to treat your paying customers. And then that problem with the @-sign. Not the smoothest game release ever.Anyone got trouble activating the game? It appears the activation key I got from D2D UK ain't working
Just gotta wait for the customer support to sort out the activation key problem.

That's a big fail from D2D or even EA. At least I'm sure now that I'm not the only one with the problem.

Actually, I was looking for this game on d2d.co.uk but I can't find it... its only available (at least for me) on d2d.com, but there it says "This product is only available for purchase in the United States and Canada."
Can someone locate the game on d2d UK and link me ?
Deluxe Edition @ D2D.co.uk
Standard Edition @ D2D.co.uk
The information on that page doesn't mention about the three items that comes with the US version, but as I checked the addin folder, there's a folder for those three items too, so I suppose they are after all included in the UK version too. Can anyone confirm this? Or has anyone gotten the UK version from D2D working?
EDIT: They fixed my key. \o/
So anyone having problem with the key, nuke D2D's support about it. And add some comment about DRM while your at it...
Thanks... I have no idea why its not showing up for me, but that link works.
Edit: Teidon, is the UK version multilanguage ?

That @-sign bug hit me too, so thank you iMatthew for saving me from that headache.
Doesn't seem to be. There's only en_US files in the directiories, and didn't see option to change language. I don't think the installer asked anything about language either. My understandment is that the PC version has the usual european languages included, so yea...Dragonforce said:

The console is different in that you do not have access to an isometric view for the console versions..
The Digital Deluxe has all the DLC; if you get the regular version you can buy the missing DLC for $7. I'm trying to find out if the mac version allows you to purchase DLC in-game (it explicitly says you can't buy it from their website), as the website is ambiguous in this regard.
Your 2400 is roughly equivalent to a 9400M, and I know some people around here have gotten the game to run on that card, at least on the Windows side. So you should be OK as long as you don't mind running everything on low.
I purchased the standard version, because I heard the Warden's Keep wasn't worth the xtra $$$, and I didn't know how it would run on my mac as is.
In game it seems the Downloadable Content tab only shows what you have installed. You can't seem to see other available content. Right now that would just be Wardens Keep, and I haven't gone far enough to meet the guy in camp that pimps that DLC out to you (so I don't know if it will suddenly open up then or not).
I just can't imagine EA/Bioware would not make the DLC available for Macs as it's more $$$ in their pockets. If they aren't, they are gunna have some royally pissed people!
BTW, for those curious, playing on a 2008 24" iMac, 2gb ram, 3.06ghz, 8800 GS . . . . So far i've been able to run it highest rez, 2x anti-alising, buffer on, and everything set on "High" and it runs fine (better than on my Ps3).
Okay I guess I should have read the readme file Here is what it says . . .
This edition of Dragon Age: Origins does not include support for
downloading additional downloadable content. DLC Installers for Mac
are included with your game and may be available for download from the

So it sounds like future DLC content will be made available in separate installers for the mac version, or we can hope.

I have been able to get all "downloadable" content to work...
Also, for anyone that has Bose Comp 5s will not work in USB mode, and I have searched google extensively. The speakers run in the 48000hz format and the sound needs to be in the 41000.0hz format. I can recreate the problem by forcing 3.5mm speakers to that format and it happens there also.
My fix was to run a 3.5mm male to male from my Bose controller to the line out on my Mac Pro. So I just select line-out for sound and it works as should, though no surround, it beats having yet another pair of speakers or wearing headsets when I don't want to.
I have USB DAC (digital/analog converter) and active speaker system connected to it, and have no audio problems. So I guess there's hope for those with USB audio systems. Have you tried to change Mac's audio settings using that tool that is in Programs -> Utilities and then the program that has MIDI in it's name (you can actually change settings for other type of audio hardware than MIDI devices with it too)?
I have. Thanks. I can't change the format. Only 48000 Hz 6ch 16 bit is available for Bose USB speakers. All other sound options have other frequencies avail to them... That is my problem. Running the 3.5mm patch cable is working fine however.
I did get the premium version... However, I have other mods that I also installed from the "community".
