Hello. Yesterday I was able to run the game just fine but today something happened. The error is as follows "The program can't start because D:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem" when in reality it's there. I click the actual file that is obviously there and it says it's missing. What is going on ?

What's a crack ?

The thing between your butt cheeks.

On topic, aren't you supposed to be running DA Origins from Steam/Origin? I assume you've tried that instead of running from the folder. There's a launcher one folder up too.

If you do happen to be running a pirated version of the game, such content doesn't belong on this forum, and I suggest you buy the game if it isn't working.

I do, I'm just showing here that the file is actually there, and it's not missing. I tried to verify the integrity but no luck.

Delete the .exe and then run an integrity check. Your Bin_Ship looks different to mine though

In steam delete the game content, then reinstall it and it will find and use all the original files. Its a registry error.
