Final Hours of Mass Effect 3 HTTP 404 error

Does anyone else get stuck with a HTTP 404 error when trying to view the Final Hours of Mass Effect 3 "DLC" from Origin?  I just purchased it, and it doesn't work for me, and EA is saying they will not refund, because they don't refund DLCs.

    It does not.  I have tried that.  I've also tried installing it on two different computers...Windows 10 and Windows 11.  Neither one works.  The error message I'm getting is very different from the article you linked to.  I had already seen that article.  Do you have access to the Final Hours of Mass Effect 3?  If so, can you try installing it, and seeing if you get the same thing?

    Thanks!

    I installed it using the linked method. I also received an error message, but I was then able to launch the TheFinalHoursOfMassEffect3.exe file from within the download cache folder. Do you have the option for that?

    The article you linked is for people having problems launching "Final Hours".  Mine launches fine.  It's once it is open that I run into the errors  Just in case, I did follow the instructions you gave, but launching it still gives me the same issue as my original screenshot.  I have tried this on Win11 and Win10 on two different networks (home and work).  Same thing in both places.  I'm honestly stunned you aren't getting the error, since it seems like a server error.

    I apologize, I misunderstood. Yes I can open it and scroll through. I do have some parts which link to what appear to be dead resources such as tweets and polls, but the majority of the content is present and I can scroll through (using my mousewheel) without issue.

    Here's how my front page appears. 

    Here's an example of one of the "blocked" sections, with a similar error to what you see on your front page. There's no 404 but presumably it's just not shown.

    @EA_David What version of Windows are you running, and what version of Adobe Air are you running?

    Thanks

    Standard updated Windows 10, I don't have adobe air. I'm starting the the exe as its own app.

    What Windows are you using?
