[Xbox 360] Can't Access DLC Without Internet

I never had an issue like this in the past. I own Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 for the Xbox 360. I own all the DLC. Had all of it downloaded for almost a decade now. And yet, for the life of me, I don't recall EVER needing to be online to ACCESS the payed-for-and-already-downloaded DLC.

Hell, I have almost 50 games with DLC on my Xbox, and I cannot access all of THEIR DLC's without internet. So what gives her? Why do I HAVE to go through the "Cerberus Network" ONLINE to access this DLC now?

  • @KayalDraknys A while back the team updated the versions of the game so that the Cerberus Network was included but still needed because of the way the game was originally coded. In order to change this, the game would have had to have been recoded entirely so it did not need it. That pass is used to authenticate DLC and other content you earned for the game.

    Once you connect and it verifies the game itself, you shouldn't really need to be online as it is one of the games that only require you to authenticate the content every now and then just for updates or changes that the console makes and not really the game itself.

    Cheers!
