Okay, so after I downloaded BDtS, after I created the fake MassEffectLauncher.exe, after I installed BDtS, after I right clicked on Mass Effect in the Origin client and clicked on "Check for Update" - I'm still having problems.
To explain simply, I've been constantly checking the MassEffectConfig.exe every time I advanced further in completing my installation of Mass Effect (with its latest patch and all DLC).
Step-by-step:
1. Install Mass Effect from the Origin Client.
Config shows:
- MassEffect.exe = v1.02
- MassEffectLauncher.exe = [blank]
- MassEffectConfig.exe = v1.02
- Uninstall Mass Effect.exe = v1.03
- Product Keys: Mass Effect, Pinnacle Station
2. Download BDtS, create fake MassEffectLauncher.exe and install BDts.
Config shows:
- MassEffect.exe = v1.02
- MassEffectLauncher.exe = v1.01
- MassEffectConfig.exe = v1.02
- Uninstall Mass Effect.exe = v1.03
- Product Keys: Mass Effect, Bring Down the Sky, Pinnacle Station
3. Check for Mass Effect update and allow update to install.
Config shows:
- MassEffect.exe = v1.02
- MassEffectLauncher.exe = v1.01
- MassEffectConfig.exe = v1.02
- Uninstall Mass Effect.exe = v1.03
- Product Keys: Bring Down the Sky
You can now see where the problem is occurring. The Mass Effect and Pinnacle Station product keys have disappeared.
I can access the game without being asked for any registration codes as expected after the update. However, when I go into Options and Downloadable Content there is nothing showing, no Bring Down the Sky or Pinnacle Station.
When I try to load an old save from years ago (I had the game and both DLC working just fine then) it says there's missing DLCs: both Pinnacle Station and Bring Down the Sky.
So, the overall problem of getting this game working in its entirety is still unsolved for at least one of us. I tried running a repair on the game from the client but it didn't solve anything.
Any ideas?
