Soon - In Bioware speak could be anything up to a month

You have got to be sh*ting me...

"Soon" is trademarked by Blizzard so Bioware needs another term...

Actually that's not true. Blizzard doesn't deal with any periods of time shorter than 'When it's done'. Which is code for 'Three years from whenever we say it's coming soon'.

Are you kidding? My brother has already beaten it on the console version, and meanwhile I'm waiting for it to even be playable.

What would've happen had the xbox upload been bad? Oh wow! PC gamers? meh.

[PUGSEXY]

Bioware is on Valve time, lmao

[Demigod]

Its not a question of patience, for me at least, i wont be playing this for a few days. Its a question of customer service. or the lack there of. As I said before latter release across platforms doesn't bother me, though it will others. But releasing latter, then delaying because they hadn't even got the file ready on the server and not even checking the build was correct, or the file wasn't simply corrupted is just incompetence.



Im not flaming I expect this from a shady trader not from a reputable company. Maybe that makes me old fashioned. This isnt the first time Bioware have released a dlc, and it isn't the first time they have had problems with them on pc if the overlord delay was anything to go by. This perhaps speaks of a larger issue with the way they release dlc on pc that needs to be addressed.



This seems symptomatic of the whole games industry though, release now patch latter, or release without checking as the Crackdown dlc, and now apparently this dlc has shown

daaaaa....mmmmm..nnnn...iitttt, really wanted to play

[Nirro1989]

It does look as if they have taken on board what we have said and they are investigating the problem and looking for a quick solution. They aren’t the first game company to make an error and we just need to be patient.

I myself don’t mind waiting if the DLC is as good as the rest of the game and I have no doubt it will be.

*sigh* Well, now that my nerdrage has passed for now, I'm going to go back to slowly letting Blizzard devour my soul while playing WoW.



Hope we hear something soon.

You know, at the very least they could of pulled the file from the servers and disabled people from downloading it. Allow them to buy it but during check out say download is currently unavailable or something like that.



I am running Win7 Ultimate x64 and have the same problem, check with a hex editor like everyone else the file is full of zero's. I really feel bad for the people that have monthly limit/bandwidth quotas, since they will not get any refund on what they downloaded. I have a 250gb limit but it is more than enough to download this file 2 or 3 times. But really if the file is corrupted at least remove the file from the active download servers.

This is such bullllll ugh now I need to go hang out with friends for the rest of the night.



I'd much rather play this DLC, now I can't until tomorrow.

[JamesMoriarty123]

What a crock of ****! I have a day off tomorrow JUST so I can play Mass Effect! What's with this incompatability bollocks?



Bioware, be ashamed. FFS.

Are you kidding me? Just take a look over at Bioshock 2's forums about the latest Minerva's Den DLC. Once again PC gamers got ****f***ed. They released the DLC only to console kiddies and didn't even give us PC gamers a release date for that DLC.

Gonna go play something else while i wait for this BS to be fixed.

That's an example of actual PC disrespect.

This isn't.

go for a drink, ride a bike, have an early night, serf some forums, look at some funny video clips, watch a dvd, spend time with your partner.. its a DLC it will be here when its here, and no amount of posts or emo "i want a refund" will make it any faster! relax chaps

also they counted this into the playing time of the DLC to pad it out a bit

QFT, im also annoyed at the delay, but I will wait.

And btw, one can point to the fact that Bring Down the Sky for ME1 was free for PC and not free for xbox as a counter-example of xbox favoritism. Just sayin....

You are definately a good customer - ready to forgive them any fu*k-up they made. The more customers like you - the worse their Quality Assurance team becomes.

I just want an update or an estimated ETA for the upload of the fixed DLC file

I'm feeling inordinately uncharitable right now, so I have to remark: That's kind of a lie, isn't it?  There are no "compatibility issues" to investigate.  It's simply a broken file.

Pretending that there is some kind of complicated software conflict that must be untangled, when it's plainly a file full of zero bytes - in my current mood that feels rather dishonest to me. <_<

45 minuets and 12 seconds...

seriously if they don't know whats wrong they wont give an ETA as people will emo if they dont get it fixed in time, if they over estimate people will emo over how long they think it will take!

just check back tomorrow! 

[JamesMoriarty123]

I've been so hyped for this all day, and some ****nose at Bioware has pressed the wrong key or messed something up and it's basically ruined my evening.

Funny how console gamers are sitting behind their TV's with their over-sized fonts and basic intellect (but fat wallets eh? which is where the game's market is heading) playing this totally oblivious to any problems. Meanwhile the customers that were loyal to Bioware when they were making freaking Baldur's Gate get a 1 sentence reply from Priestly.

Not a "sorry we ****ed up, we're on it and it'll be fixed in a few hours" just a poxy "we are investigating".

Bioware, how much good will are you planning to burn before ME3? The Dragon Age Awakenings and 1.03 crash DEBACLE pretty much burned your house down for me, all that was left was a frame, and now problems on a major DLC launch day...

Rediculous.

Guys, seriously? It has been 2 hours. Sperging out over this and grabbing the torches and pitchforks maybe is a bit premature. Oh and of course this is the final proof that BW is abandoning PC gamers and has pink-slipped their QA team. And has since then moved HQ to Mount Doom.



Get a job. Maybe you realize that screw-ups happen even with a competent QA team. Unless it's staffed by robots because people make mistakes. "Pathetic" is always the first word that enters my mind whenever I'm forced to enter this cesspit called a forum.

EXACTLY.....just buying time till the Bioware guys get back (and sober up)  from the DLC release party....

[Demigod]

Id be happily surprised if it is just a corrupted upload Id expect more than just a load of 0s at the start if it was. It is more likely a corrupted build, which would need a rebuild, testing before repacking, TESTING the install package, then uploading again.

Hopefully I'm wrong as rebuilding and testing will probably mean several hours work at least.

Edit: come to think of it its been several hours already

That's quite annoying. The balls up was reported three hours ago, yet I've just spent half an hour downloading a gig and a half of nothing? They could have at least taken the file down.
