Mass Effect 3 (2012) online pass error

I'll just say that I did everything as written here.

Nothing helped, always the same error. Maybe I'm missing something, please help me.

Thanks to EA_Shepard , everything works.
I'll try to explain how I did it for people with a similar problem.
1. As mentioned - deleted the folder with DLC.
2. The game doesn't start - throws errors
3. Clicked Repair game, and in the same window removed three story DLCs and the Genesis comic from here.
4. Miracle.... The game still throws errors for DLC, but multiplayer (and this is the most important thing for me) worked

AndjiKK Apologies just seeing this. Happy to hear it is working for you. As for the DLC errors, that comes down to a few reasons

1. Bad install
2. The account you are logged into does not own it (You're in the EA app, but own it in Steam) vice versa.

Quickest was is to go into the install folder with the platform you installed it through, and delete all DLC and meta folders. Then log back into that platform and reinstall.

Sometimes if you changed the download location, or have it on separate drives, that could affect it.

Same problem here, I can still play the base game, I think, but all DLCs cannot by authorized
What did I done? Completely deinstalled the game with REVO, restarted my computer, completely deinstalled EA App with REVO restarted my computer and re-installed Mass Effect 3 and have the same issues
