Re: Can't connect to Cerberus network in Mass Effect 2

After uninstalling it and reinstalling it on the same PC that had the problem in the first place it worked without any trouble, just as it was meant to instal and play. That was until that PC died on me and I head to get a new one... than it was back.


Before doing the fix that I knew would work I tried this one, and it did it. So this might work as well. 
Thought I was worth noting.

    As I understand problem with autologin to Cerberus Network is global problem ? I played it 1 year ago and all was fine, but now autologin not working (tested by me on Windows 7/8.1/10 1809 (LTSC)). With ME3 no problems.

    The problem I had wasn't with auto login. What happend was that the game wouldn't access the Cerberus network at all.

    As it is quite a time ago I don't remember exactly. But as far as I remember when I started the game it said I needed to login to the Cerberus network. But it kept giving errors that I couldn't connect I don't remember exactly anymore.

    And even when I was in the menu and tried to connect it said (I think) something that I needed to get the Cerberus network pass or something from bioware store/site.

    But I already had downloaded/unlocked it in the DLC's page in origin. But since that didn't work I accessed it on the bioware site and got it there. But it still didn't work.

    Normally something like this, in a offline singleplayer game this wouldn't be a big issues. It was just that  because I couldn't access the Cerberus network the game wouldn't verify the DLC's I bought, resulting in me buying them but not being able to play them.

    But only the post marked as solution worked.

    And when I recently wanted to install it on m y new pc I got a error saying I couldn't login to the Cerberus network. First I checked if I had access to the DLC's but that was again a no go but when I pressed connect in the menu it connected. Though I have cleared the caches first just in case 😂.

    Just wanted to note that this sometimes can work but if you read through the posts you can see that I tried that the first time and it didn't work. Nothing worked only a outside program used for mods worked.
