Re: [Old Report] Mass Effect 3 multiplayer not accessible, "redeem online pass"

@Mayamis I expected that to happen. Sometimes DLCs alone cause the issue and sometimes its the base game. That is all I needed to know. Go ahead and close everything down for me. No need to install anything else just yet!

    @Mayamis Okay log back in. Now what i would do first is clear the cache for the EA app, and repair the game. I always do this just in case but you may not have to.

    @EA_Shepard   I did that and whatever you did on your end worked!!!!!! 🙂 it's finally connected to server and I can open multiplayer!! 🙂

    However, I I'm not getting any matches for games and in multiplayer itself I am missing a lot of characters I had unlocked and leveled up.

    I assume it's because I don't have the DLC's yet?

    @Mayamis That's great. Install the rest of the DLC and play a few matches and let it sync up. We cannot alter data like that so it is still there.

    hey @EA_Shepard  me again, really hate to be a bother but new problem popped up that didn't happen on previous run of the game when I said everything is fine,

    This time when I opened the game in main menu this msg showed up saying From Ashes DLC can't be authorized.

    Not sure why it didn't pop up on previous run but it did just now...

    The game still connects to servers fine and multiplayer seems to work normally so it's not as big of an issue as before

    @Mayamis 

    • Make sure EA app and Steam are closed.
    • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
    • Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
    • Move the "License" folder to your desktop.
    • Test.

    @holger1405  already did that before I posted, also cleared the temp cache and EA app cache, and that pop up was still there for some reason...

    Interestingly, when I ran the game just now, it's gone on it's own.

    So I'm gonna assume after EA_Shepard reactivated my pass, and I reinstalled everything, the game and servers just needed some time to sync up all the content.

    Seems to be good now 🙂

    @Mayamis Been out for a bit. The weather got all kinds of people feeling a bit bad. Some DLCs don't always sync like it should when activated. The license deletion steps above typically fix it but if they don't, delete the DLC folder inside the install folder for any that say unauthorized.

    Your account is good. The game will always check twice for DLC which happens to me every now and then. I repair the game or delete the folder and it typically fixes it!

    Cheers!
