So is there no fix for this? No upcoming mini patch so that origin installation of mass effect can be detected by BDTS?
Come on guys, this is pretty bad tech support and EA needs to do a fix if this significant extra content cant detect an origin based installation of Mass Effect.
A bit late, but... Have you played and made sure the content isn't in game? Pretty sure it's just included in the game now (I had an old, old physical copy of ME1 and clung to my BDTS and key for years, went to reinstall this year and found I couldn't, then discovered it was no longer necessary).
@BVargas78 Have you contacted EA tech support? If so, what was their response?
Answers HQ is community driven, which means if your fellow players don't know the solution, you won't get an answer. The game is eight years old now, which means this forum doesn't get much attention anymore. I drop by the Mass Effect forums now and then, but I don't know the solution to this problem.
I havent played it through yet, whilst its possible that Origin installs BDTS by default, I ended up uninstalling it for the time being due to not knowing.
What i'll probably do though (as i know this method works) is install it through Steam, then apply BDTS, then Origin tends to detect the steam installation, and the other expansion Pinnacle Station which i bought from Origin becomes playable too. It's a bit long winded but this worked the last time i played the game which was late 2012. Ideally though, it would be nice to have had it all under the Origin 'roof'.
I never purchased Pinnacle station (had no means of buying things online back then... Or money 😛 ), but when I reinstalled ME through Origin earlier this year, Pinnacle station was included (as well as BDtS). New stuff to do, bonus! 😛
