(PC) Download is in Progress.

Hi Kent, I'm back in the servers but when I start the game from the EA client Im still getting a message a download is in progress which Im not currently doing, either the DL manager agrees with me here or he's a lazy git and refuses to get to work

    That's odd, I should have all of the DLC. let me check
    It says the main  DLC is installed. When I load a save game it does give me the email to start Omega, Citadel and the other ones


    That is odd!

    [grasping at straws...] Any chance that you changed the location of your game folders and have two sets (example: if you moved to an SSD at some point)?

    This is indeed odd, but might explain the "a download is in progress" error message.

    If the DLC get downloaded to a different location the download manager might get confused here.

    Thing is the DLCs should not work if they not in this folder.

    So the DLCs are shown as installed and you're sure they do work? (Did you accessed a DLC location in game?)

    Please search for a "DLC_EXP_Pack003" folder (that is the Citadel DLC) on your system.

    Look in the "Final hours of Mass Effect folder (Including subordinate folders) first and if you can't find anything there preform a general search.

    OK, then the problem is likely because of conflicting Registry entries.

    You could preform a complete, clean uninstalling of the game and Origin, with registry cleaning afterwards, or you could just ignore the message. The game should run flawless even white "Download in progress" error.
