The DLCs are not downloading
I was having a computer issue and had to do a factory reset, which included all of my games. My mass effect 2 will download but non of the DLCs will. I deleted Origin and redownloaded it, I tried updating it manually, I restarted my own computer and redownloaded it. Nothing is working. 1 will download as well, right now it is just the DLC's for two, I am now testing three and will edit this if I have the same problem with 3. ..
ME3 will download but non of the DLCs will
