This has been percolating for a while, but a new patch has been released for Dragon Age: Origins, bringing it up to version 1.05. If you own Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition, your game should have come patched up to 1.04. This patch is purely a maintenance release, fixing the quirky authentication problems with newly installed DLC. Furthermore, the unintended(?) requirement to log into your EA account every time you played in order to have access to DLC or load a saved game of a playthrough that included DLC has been removed. This problem only existed in the PC and Mac versions of the game, so console users are unaffected.
Rob Bartel mentions that this PC patch download release coincides with the patch release on Steam, but Mac users will have to remain patient:
After an extensive beta period, PC Patch 1.05 for Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Awakening, and the Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition is now live and official. Steam users will receive it through the Steam patch delivery service and other PC users can download and install the file from our Dragon Age: Origins patch page (which also includes our notes for the patch).
We're also working with Transgaming to roll out Patch 1.05 for Mac, although it's not available as of this writing. As console users are unaffected by the issues addressed in this patch, there is no need to release it on X360 and PS3.
Thank you for your patience and a special thanks to everyone who took part in both our private and public betas.

The new patch has a update for BioWare's fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins, preparing the game for the Awakening DLC and some smaller tweaks. This patch includes changes and updates from older patch including tweaks to the difficulty and fixing several bugs including a case of potential character corruption and other gameplay updates.

Dragon Age: Origins 1.03
------------------------
- Various changes have been made to code and resources to support the Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening expansion pack. Most of these changes do not affect Origins itself.
- Some players were experiencing increasingly long load times. A major cause of this problem has been fixed.
- At higher levels, non-player characters now receive a bonus to armor penetration. This mitigates an unintentional imbalance with well-armored high-level characters, since armor penetration previously did not scale as aggressively as armor itself did.
- Elite-rank enemies (lieutenants) can no longer be shattered. This preserves the intended tactical design of many combat encounters.
Portraits for summoned creatures (like a ranger's wolf) were displaying improperly while in the party camp. This no longer occurs.
