Tyreal stop the download now.  Don't download it again until Bioware says its a go and someone confirms it.  It's a waste of your bandwidth at this time.

Thanks.

Guess this makes the decision to play Witch Hunt or Shadow Broker first easy, at least.

Stop acting like 12 year olds on coffee

Christ..

I'm a 25 year old on coffee.  Lots of coffee.

And protein.  From sardines.  Delicious, delicious sardines.  So yeah, I went almost my entire life without trying them and now that I have I'm obsessed.  I don't have a problem.  Really.  /opens another can.

Writing this reply is probably pointless, but I'll write anyway.

Those
of you who are yelling at BioWare: what are you trying to accomplish?
It won't get the DLC out any faster. Trust me, they are keenly aware of
the problem, and they're getting the fix out as soon as possible. They
aren't evil, they aren't stupid, they aren't trying to scam you of your
$10 (that wouldn't be very good business practice, now, would it?), and
they definitely aren't enjoying what's going on.

Mistakes do
happen -- software development is hard, and delays happen, sometimes for
good reasons, sometimes not. Treat this as a bug -- there are bugs in
released software all the time, some more serious than others.

I'm
speaking from experience here -- I'm not working for BioWare, but I've
worked in large-scale software development and deployment for 11 years
now. You can search for wisdom and reasons, and it pays off to analyze
situations like this postmortem to see what you can learn for the
future, but in the end, you have to accept that, sometimes, sh*t
happens.

No, a non-working exe is not excusable for a company such as Bioware (EA): when you upload something, you test it (it's not like a bug hidden in the middle of nowhere). And if, at worse, you notice that it doesn't work, then you mitigate damages: you remove the download and post a notice asap. You don't let people download the file again and again letting them think that something has gone wrong on their end  or that the file has perhaps been fiixed since the last download: time and ISP caps have a price too which can be much higher than the DLC price.... Bioware has an obligation of result here.

The Ostagar DLC release was pretty screwed up too: the website was still announcing that the DLC was available while it was not for a while before they changed the release date (I still have pics): that is considered false advertising. I love Bioware games but I'd expect more professionalism when it comes to customers relations.  Sweeping more dirt under the carpet and hoping customers will ignore it is definitely not going to help with the issue. at some point, someone might notice a lump somewhere..

have WinXP SP3. downloaded without a hitch, but I also get the black window for a second, then nothing happens. no install. I call for an angry mob...

[JBurke]

*Sigh* I trusted BioWare to get this right despite all their past failures to release quality DLC on time with a working file and they make an ass of me once again. Teach me not to wait, check the forums and then wait again until confirmed.

Oh... and just to be with the cool crowd. 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

all this spamming may make you feel better, but for those waiting to hear actual progress its maddening, and choking the forums wont help others who are trying to download either...

So is it broken for all pc users? or is there an exception, just curious.

Ever heard of Murphy's law. Apply it and done. No need to yell at the good guys. Fix will be out. Broken executalble or not . Bad policy to let us down. So what ever error occured its going to be fixed. Who cares if its today tomorrow or the day after. We got a life, don't we?

So...I woke up early and started downloading this for PC. Now I'm reading some of these comments and wondering if I should continue? I'm in Australia. We have awful monthly bandwith limits here. I don't have a lot left for the month. Wasting 1.5 gig is not something that I want to do. I'm 50% in with this download. Should I continue? Is there no chance this is going to work? Is it a problem with authorisation and will be fixed without having to redownload the file? Or is it likely the file itself is beyond hope and I will have to download it again and should just cancel this?

Cancel. Save your BW, this file is just borked.

Nooooooo! Don't quote, I will be accused of piracy I am just giving out the raw file...

On the bright side, no need to download it, just open your notepad and paste these zeros like a thousand times, save it as ME2_ShadowBroker.exe and here is your Shadow Broker DLC

Doesn't work on Windows 7 32-bit. I tried to open it and it opened and then closed a console prompt. I went through command prompt to see what the error was and it says "Program too big to fit in memory." like it's trying to load through DOS.
