I'm having the exact problem. I played the wheels off the game. Then I took a break. Popped in a month and a half ago to play a bit. And now when I update all the new content and try to play again on my PC, I get stuck in a "searching for downloadable content" loop. It never resolves. Worse, when I try the Xbox 360 solution loop, it just tells me that my DLC (unnamed) is corrupt and to reinstall.
Except...I've repaired the DLC NUMEROUS times. And the installation. NUMEROUS times. And I've reinstalled both THREE times in the last 24 hours. I've even ripped out the patch and reinstalled that.
What's going on?!
If you have this issue, manually delete everything in your DLC folder ( default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\DLC) then redownload any DLC you have. This usually corrects the issue.
^That is a silly answer. It is too big for some of us to redownload.
Why not remove this feature? All it does is irritate your paying customers. Pirates still get ahold of the DLC, and don't have to suffer from this mess. You wonder why people steal your stuff. You sometimes deserve it.
Not as silly as yours. If you want to pirate it, you'll have to download it as well. Along with viruses and trojan horses...
