"Unable to Authorize the listed DLC"
Hi all, I originally purchased the N7 Collectors Edition upon release and everything was working fine until I purchased and installed new content from the store which it states on my origin accoun...
Forum Discussion
Another interesting discovery was that when moving the DLC folders for the game located in Program Files/Origin Games/Mass Effect 3/BIOGame/DLC folder, it wont appear on the 'Unable to Authorize....' message, I'm certain it removes the content as if it isn't there however it tells me that there is a problem with origin or the game relating to those files...
So I went ahead & did another uninstall/install for ME3 since I reverted my computer name. Still running into the same error. . . .
Also I was testing to see if I would get the same message in ME2. After launching ME2 it failed to connect online but since ME2 has the option to login
to my account from ingame it worked & I had all DLC access in ME2. ((However my saved games were gone))
Also made the following changes again.
1.) Disabled Windows Firewall
2.) Disabled all 3rd party applications. (Skype, Steam, Facebook App, Ect)
3.) Disabled Virus Protection. (Uninstalled them as a last resort)
4.) Checked for Updates for ME3. (No Resolution)
5.) Ran Repair on ME3. (No Resolution)
6.) Uninstalled / Reinstalled ME3. (No Resolution)
Do I just uninstall Origin all together with every game & install it on another Drive?? But even if I do that I should still receive the following message.
""Please log in to the Alliance Network with the account used to purchase the DLC""
I still think that the computer name has something to do with this issue.
Example:
1.) Log into your computer under the Username: James (James has all DLC & Collectors Edition)
2.) Log into your computer under the Username: Shepard (Shepard has Omega DLC)
When launching the game I could see both users running into ""Please log in to the Alliance Network with the account used to purchase the DLC""
The only reason I come to this conclusion is because I changed my computer name thus creating a new Users Folder in ""C:\Users"" where my
saved game files can be accessed. Which would make sense since I was no longer able to find any Saved files from when I played ME2/ME3 back in the day.
And yes I reverted my computer name back to what original was when I first installed ME3 & it still will not allow me to access the DLC.
So do I create a new account on my computer?? Install Origin/ME3 & hope it will work?
Any input at this point would be awesome & very much appreciated.
Any luck yet Cyrisal?
FYI
I just uninstalled ME3/Origin (again) now I'm going to create a second account on my computer.
Then reinstall everything on my second windows account. I will keep you posted if this works.
Also side note for others who read this post. If you know of a fix please let me know as this would save lots of wasted time. Thanks!
After several hours I finally fixed the issue. . . .
I created a second windows account on my computer & then reinstalled Origin/ME3 on the the new windows accounts.
Lauched the Game & everything is working so far. However everything on my Multiplayer is gone. (Levels, Credits Ect GONE)
After testing several things I'm 99.9% positive it had to with the computer name. ((SInce I changed my computer name few months back))
I know this is my own fault but still I'm shocked no one at EA could toss 2cents on this post.
Cyrisal I would suggest trying these same steps as me.
1.) Create a second windows account2.) Install Origin/ME3 on the new windows account.
If this does not work please let me know as I would like to help with this issue!
