I upgraded to Deluxe about a week ago, and those specific items did not spawn inside a chest (like the N7 do, as soon as you return to the Lighthouse after recovering the lyrium dagger, or the Blood Dragon armours); instead, you get successive pop-ups at the bottom right part of your screen for each of the Deluxe Edition items added, and that occurs retroactively to each save you boot up in my case.
Did you try uninstalling/re-installing the game files?
Yeah I have tried absolutely everything I think possible to try and get this to work to no avail. It has to be something on EA's end, maybe server related or something? I got the pop up randomly one time that I had DLC when I loaded up the game and when I went to open the chest that spawned nothing unlocked. I also didn't get a pop up on the bottom right when new items get added. Ever since then I haven't seen the pop up or the items in my game. I also created two saves when this happened. I had one before I opened the chest and one after I opened it. When I loaded the saves a few hours later the chest was completely gone on both saves. I'm currently playing through the first save where I didn't open the chest on hopes it would spawn again but it never did. I actually can't bring myself to play anymore because of this issue. It's a shame I was having a lot of fun and was almost 40 hours in.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
Played without internet.
Loaded different saves.
Made two other characters.
Deleted the CC files.
Deleted the EA licenses files and temp files.
Repaired the game.
Updated both patches.
There really should be some functionality within the EA launcher that allows us to specifically uninstall and install DLC's separately. At the moment they always automatically install when installing the game and there is no option to not get these to install with the full game. It's absolutely ridiculous a AAA company can have issues like not giving players DLC they actually pre ordered and purchased. This really gives me a weird feeling and EA support has been of absolutely no help.
