is it possible to create it with other languages too, or must it be "en" and "it", because you've created modified files... i would keep the german language!

[raimi_18]

Thanks Peter. Is there any way to free ~1.1GB of space, so that we can include the high resolution textures?

I don't think it's possible

which video card do you have?

You need at least a DX 11 video card with 1024mb of video memory

[d00m3d]

Oh well, it's ok!

I have recently bough a GTX 460. But you don't need a DX11 card, Bioware says: "Most of the benefits from the Hi-resolution textures will only be seen if you are able to run the game in DirectX 11."

Most but not all

If someone don't care about the quality of the movies and he really wanna get a 1xDVD5 conversion without any compressing/decompressing files just download my attachment from any of the three links below in the instructions.

1. Create DA2_1xDVD5 folder and copy all files from DVD9 (original game disc) to it.

2. Download the attachment with low quality movies and installmanifest_lang.ini files of your choice (there are files for PL/ENG/DE/ES/IT/FR/RU installmanifest files):

http://hotfile.com/dl/109882145/4faa19d/DA2.1xDVD5(low.def.movies).rar.html
http://www.fileserve.com/file/sDUPT8v
http://www.filesonic.com/file/206241782

3. Decompress the archive DA2.1xDVD5(low.def.movies).rar
4. copy/move the installmanifest_lang.ini file for your language(where lang is PL/EN/DE/ES/IT/FR/RU) and campaign_movies archives to DA2_1xDVD5\data folder.
5. delete other languages(if you have PL/ES/IT or RU language delete rest of the languages except EN lang files, if you have FR/DE or EN language then delete the rest language except the ones that are for your language).
(if you don't know what files you can't delete just open your installmanifest_lang.ini file and watch the list )
6. If you have a PC without MAC OS than delete xxx_mac.rar files. If you have that system then just skip this point.
7. Burn or make iso with label name of your choice.
8. Enjoy your backuped Dragon Age 2 one/two language game

100% working process.
My language after conversion: PL/ENG (yes two languages because PL language has only subtitles and uses ENG voice lang files)
Size of the DVD: 4,00GB

If anyone will spot a deleted file in one of the links then let me know

[peterf1999]

For polish+english conversion without the awful movies quality :

Replace:

core_game_it.rar
campaign_game_it.rar
installmanifest_it.ini

with

core_game_pl.rar
campaign_game_pl.rar
installmanifest_pl.ini

Follow the steps above and use the autorun_xml_POL_ENG.7z

[Schabik]

I think if you use Peterf1999 Conversion + my "awful" movies you'll get enough space for HiTexturePack But I didn't test it so I don't really know if it can be attached to the 1xDVD5 Conversion

Thanks. My installation ended normally but the DA2_arc.exe is not auto extracted?

[Schabik]

Have you created the ISO??
