Heya everyone,

We would like to ask you all to opt-in for Origin beta updates and install the latest (9.1.3) update. In order to do so, please follow these steps:

It seems I have the same problem. I have bought ME & ME2 on Origin as a backup for my boxes copies of the game. I have already had 4 DLCs for ME2 bought in EA online shop. After installing my ME2 copy using Origin client those DLCs have showed up in Origin and started to download. But after downloading they are not installed. Instead of Download button I have Install button next to each DLC, but those buttons don't work. After pressing one I see blue loading bar for a half of second - it disappears and Install button stays.

What is worse, after I close Origin client and start in again, those DLCs are being downloaded once again. So every time I open Origin client I have to go to the download screen and cancel all downloads. When I was checking Origin logs I have found something like this:

193 [lis 25 07:45:05.858] Event Origin::Downloader::ContentProtocolPackage GetSingleFile [2148] [ContentID:40985252] GetSingleFile( archivePath: \__Installer\DLC\Arrival\__Installer\installerdata.xml , diskPath: C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Temp/manUh4000.tmp )
194 [lis 25 07:45:05.859] Error Origin::Downloader::DiPManifest Parse [3012] Missing required executable Element in DiP manifest

This is propably for automatic install. When clicking on Install button for DLC, log is filled with:

326 [lis 25 10:27:09.502] Event Origin::Downloader::ContentInstallFlowDiP resume [5884] Resume install flow for OFB-MASS:20838

I hope this is usefull somehow. Other details:

Origin clinet version: 9.0.15.65 - 198678

Game: Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition

Which DLCs are downloaded by Origin: Randomly. Origin detects my all 4 DLCs (Kasumi, Overlord, Shadow Broker & Arrival) and starts downloading, but some DLCs are downloaded and some are not (progress bar disappears and Download buttons is showing instead).

Which DLCs are missing: none.
