So, my wife wanted her own Xbox Live account to play DA:O, and we set one up.  When she starts the game she is told there is a title update (the 1.03 roll-back I assume), and is then told that about half the DLC is "corrupted" and can't be used.  No problem, I think as it's already been downloaded on this Xbox, I can just download it again.

No such luck, since it was downloaded on MY Xbox Live account she would need to purchase it again.

So, smart guy that I am, I try deleting it and re-downloading it under my Xbox Live account, no luck there either.

Last idea is to use MY social account login info for her game and see if it will register the fact that I've already bought the DLC so I can download it again.  But - there is no LOGOUT or CHANGE ACCOUNT option in the game?!?

How can you change the Bioware Social account used to connect to the servers in-game?  (...and why is the DLC reading as corrupted - I thought that was a bad patch issue?)

shes not licenced to use it on another machine. all user accounts on the machine it was first downloaded to may use the dlc, they cant use it on another machine. the bioware account info is tied to your xbox live profile so she would need to sign in with your account and in doing so would not be able to use her saves.

This another profile on the same machine. 

But the real question is: how do you change the Bioware Social profile that DA:O is using?  The first time you start the game, it asks for you Bioware account, but there does not appear to be any method of changing that once entered.

sorry, for some reason i thought you had gotten a second xbox. i dont think you can sign out but if you go to https://profile.ea.com/acctcreate.do and sign in with your details you may be able to add her gamer tag to your profile allowing her access to the dlc, im not 100% sure it will work but its under "add persona" on the page. good luck

Yeah, I'm guessing this is the problem.

@OP
I saw your post in the other thread, but I'm answering here as well. You're talking about a Slim console (in the other thread), which makes me guess that you had another Xbox before that, correct? And that you bought/downloaded the Dragon Age DLCs to that console? If so, then all the content you've downloaded before you got your Slim is tied to that console. You can transfer old licenses to a new console (the service works once a year). Check out the link below:

www.xbox.com/support/drm

All gamertags should be able to access all DLC on the console to which they are tied. You shouldn't have to buy twice.

Regarding the social account, I think you can change it by calling the EA support, but then you might mess things up with your own gamertag. There are a couple of sticky threads in this forum that you might want to read.

edit:
But where did all the Account connection stickies go? Or are they in the Mass Effect 2 forum? :blink:

I am having the same exact problem. I could not add my girl's profile to my own on EA's site.



Some of the DLC works for her, and some does not. Any update on a solution for this, Marah?
