Re: Cannot Authorize DLC by logging into alliance network

Thanks for the extra detail, it certainly sounds like something is blocking your games' access to the servers.

Do you use anti-virus software? If so can you try temporarily disabling it? Sometimes they can also block games, so it's worth checking.

You mention being on a college network, I wonder when did you play on W7 last?

Perhaps if it was during the last academic year, new restrictions were put in place on the network and you'll need to talk to your admin? On the other hand if you played on your older machine last week, that's probably not a factor.

Hey sorry I waited until this long to get back, I wanted to see if it would work outside of school, I'm now at my own apartment with Xfinity and NO anti-virus software and I still can't access the ME3 servers so that I can use my DLC

Restart your router.

If that not helps, shut down your Windows firewall. (just for testing purpose, don't forget to activate the firewall and the antivirus software later on.)

Should it work after you disabled the firewall, here is a description how to allow a program to communicate through the firewall.

This ports must be open on your Router:

Origin Ports
TCP: 80; 443; 9960-9969; 1024-1124; 3216; 18000; 18120; 18060; 27900; 28910; 29900
UDP: 1024-1124; 18000; 29900
Me3 Port
Port 3659

Clearing your DNS cache. or testing a google DNS could also help.

If that not helps here is a EA connection troubleshooting guide.

Please provide screenshots of the Origin ME3 "extra content" section so that I can see that you own them.

OK, go

Scroll down to "DLC Patcher" and download the "" for ME3.

Unzip the RAR file and put both DLLs int your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries\Win32" folder (override).

This will authorize the single player DLCs. I use this DLLs myself for my modded game but as always with third party software I have to tell you that you use this DLLs on your own risk.

Thanks, but I think my Wife would object. 😉

Sorry that I can help you to access MP, but that is a different beast and the connection error can have a lot of reasons.

You're welcome, and thanks for the XP.

"Scroll down to "DLC Patcher" and download the "" for ME3." Scroll down where? On what website?

This was a specific solution for a specific player, that's why I deleted the link.

Do you have the same problem?
