Unable to access ME2 and ME3 DLCs

I'm sure this question has been asked countless times already but I can't seem to find any new info on how to download the games' DLCs on origin. Everytime I load the games I always get the same "can...

    For the single player game the Workaround is the same one as for ME2.

    You can find the DLLs for ME3 here. (I also use this DLLs 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.)

    Scroll down to "DLC Patcher". There you will find the download link.  

    For the connection problem, this problem can have many reasons.

    Are you on a private network or on a university network?

    Did you tried to repair ME3?

    Did you tried to connect ME3 after the suggestion in this post? (especially the firewall and anti virus part is important.)

    Preforming a clean boot and testing the connection afterwards would rule out third party application involvement.

    UDP Port 3659 must be Open on your router (inbound and outbound)

    Here is a guide for Origin connection problems, but they also can solve the ME3 connection problem.

    Reinstalling the game and Origin or contacting EA directly. (If you are not from the US change the country in the top right corner.) so that they can have a look or reset your account is also something you could try.

I did but just like for ME2's cerberus network, I can't connect to the alliance one.

    Thanks a lot for the links. Now the DLCs seem to work (as well as for ME2).

    I am indeed using a university network however I don't think this is the issue because I was able to download the games on origin with it. For example I can't use Steam because the network blocks it.

    I did try to repair the game but nothing...

    I've tried the firewall and antivirus trick and I still can't connect either.

    I'll try your other solutions later today when I'll have time. Thank you very much again for the help.

    Well, I am pretty sure that your university network is the culprit here. It is very unusual that both games can't connect.

    Maybe you can talk to the Admins about this.

    In the meantime, you're welcome, and thanks for the XP.

    Have fun gaming.
