Help downloading mass effect 3 through origin!!!

hello, i used to play mass effect 3 for ps3 but recently got a new pc so i decided to buy it for pc. i bought it off of the mass effect 3 official website. i downloaded the game the first time yesterday, along with all of the dlc. when i open the game, the first error i get is: "the mass effect 3 server is unavailable at this time. please try again later." after i click OK, it begins to check for the DLC content, which i have installed. i then get the following error: 

                                                                                                                "Unable to authorize the listed DLC. 

                                                                                                                  Please log into the alliance network with the account used to purchase the DLC. 

                                                                                                                  ME3: Content Patch DLC Module 

                                                                                                                  Multiplayer expansion pack 4 

                                                                                                                  Mass effect 3: earth 

                                                                                                                  Rebellion pack 

                                                                                                                  Resurgence multiplayer expansion 

     The following downloadable content is corrupt and can not be used. Pleas re-download the downloadable content and try again"

I tried repairing all of the dlc content and the game and that did not work.

I also uninstalled the game and re-installed it over night, and i still get these same errors. I looked around on google and cannot find an answer to my problem. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated.                                                                                                             

  • Maybe you should reinstall it all (with origin) but i'm not sure that it'll works...

  • -Make sure that you've update Origin and your game

    -Don't forget to run Origin and Mass Effect 3 as an administrator (And made both as an exception on your firewall)

    is there a way to manually update origin? i can't find it. and yes, my game is updated.

    and i am running both as an administrator.

    When i go to allow them through windows firewall, only mass effect 3 is on the list, origin is not on the list though. 

    -thanks 

  • On Origin, click on "Help" (at the top on the right) and then on about, which version is your origin ?

    my version is: Version 9.0.15.65 - 198678

  • Your version is up to date.

    When you bought it, have you registered your game directly on Origin (redeem code) ? Or on BSN ?
