Hi

First thing I've changed in Mass Effect 2 was sku.ini file. For me not including in installer an option to choose language version was just outrageous. Especially when int files are copied to drive regardless of your language version.



Second thing I changed to override "technical limitations prohibiting lair of the shadow broker to be installed on polish version" was manually changing of registry value of installer language.



I smell some very lazy programers in dlc release division. Was it so painful to include options to change language in installer or configuration tool? Coding that would be less problematic (and costly) that having to explain why Bioware "hates Poles Czechs and J... Hungarians...." to ME2 fans. I think that PR people in Bioware have better things to do than explaining that Bioware are not ****s....

finally re-downloaded it, and it installed into win7 64bit , allgood...

[Mycrus Ironfist]

after downloading i clicked on the file... took a very long time so i placed the monitor to sleep and went to sleep myself.



then in the morning - file was ready to install...



i don't get it why it takes a friggin long time to 'run' a file.



anyway done with 'normal' playthrough for the shadow broker and it is awesome.



if only there were no install issues then this would have been the best dlc that i've ever downloaded.

If you are OK with editing registry, there is a solution:

Change entry Language in the following registry key from "hu" (or whatever you have there) to "en"

32bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\SOFTWARE\\\\BioWare\\\\Mass Effect 2
64bit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\SOFTWARE\\\\Wow6432Node\\\\BioWare\\\\Mass Effect 2

Then install DLC and after that change Language back to original value.

Everything should be in your original game language but Shadow Broker texts in english.
I have only checked mail "Shadow Broker Intel", but I expect that everything will be working just fine.


You're life saver man! I was looking just for this solution. Thanks a lot.

Same problem. Downloaded DLC to my desktop and when I try to install I get the spinning hourglass and it just keeps on going and going and going. also freezes my desktop.

I've read through this topic, and no one seems to have the problem that I have.



I can run the file just fine, but it advises me that I have to install ME2 before I can install the DLC. I have the Steam version of the game, and I have installed other DLC's before, this is the first time I've run into this issue.



Any solutions?

This is starting to sound redundant. I downloaded LofSB and saved the file to a folder on my hard drive. Any time I tried to even open the folder with the file in it, Windows Explorer freezes. I re-downloaded Lof SB today to see if there have been any file changes, but the same thing happens. Very frustrating.

At least you all can download and TRY to install. The damn site keeps failing on me at the very last part of the purchase process (I have to buy extra points to buy the DLC). Nice message about "and error occurred, please try again later" but "later" never arrives succesfully.

I downloaded this thing twice, the first download gives me a DOS window that lasts about 1/2 sec and the 2nd gives me "installer failed" error. I looked at the registry edit/sui edit thing but my ME2 is already set to english so that can't be it. any other ideas?

Hey Bioware! I know you can't be unaware of this. How about a little help here?

I d/l'ed and installed w/o a hitch. Then, I started it up and the server is down, so it can't verify my copy of the install. No joy.

[Crespire]

Ya my installer claims I don't have ME2 installed. Is it not checking for the Steam distributed version?

[speakeasysyn]

Aww man....



I keep reading things like...

"Makes computer freeze"



and stuff like that...



should I just uninstall and and wait it out till Bioware fixes it?



....I have a sinking feeling I'll be old and unresponsive by the time they DO fix it...

I've got Steam and mine didn't say anything about ME2 not being installed.

Odd. My installer works, but it says "You must install Mass Effect 2 first" and quits on me.

well my computer just did a freeze on me.

DEAR LORD...

I deleted it from the file I stuffed it in..which I'm not sure at this point is "uninstalling it", but whatever.

Thanks to this entire situation of idiocy I am starting to regret buying more points to get this DLC....

[Crespire]

I don't regret buying the DLC, I'm really interested in the story, but I'm just disappointed I am unable to play it right away.

[dGreatLuronzo]

I tested the download and get "data error" in '${31}\\Cooked_PC\\BioD_Exp1Lvl1_cutscene (the error is "file broken" for about 14 files - looks to be the intro)

'${31}\\Cooked_PC\\BioD_Exp1Lvl2 had the same problem in about 20+ files and there were 30 more in other unrelated files.

all of the above apply to the second download.

there also appears to be some type of weird "artifact" in the initial file segments of the first download.

it really looks like the file is being courupted during the download. i wonder if the server has a cross-signal from another download?

[edMP]

this is fail, i spent 13hrs downloading this damn thing and then it dies

ty bioware, i think i may just boycott ur other DLC releases, kudos to ur fail team for prompt and responsive actions to rememdy this cluster-****

I guess I can agree with you...I read the comics with Liara and I'm curious about Feron even though he's probably in it for like...five seconds.

@ Migatu



Are you trying to say, that you can 'make Lair of the Shadow Broker' compatible with Polish version of the game by simply changing the language manualy in game files (which I did already)? I was really pissed off when I found out about compatibility issues, as I own every DLC possible (including all pre-order items ) for ME2 but I've a Polish collector's version which was brought to me by a friend from there - I'd really like to play it without having to buy one more version of the game here. -.- Even if I'll have to, will my DLCs be compatible with a different copy of the game ?

I get this same problem trying to run the .exe for the download just freezes my windows explorer and then crashes explorer forcing me to restart

[dGreatLuronzo]

I contacted EA tech support and their guy says try downloading again in a few days and that their techs are working on the problem as we speak. so..... I guess i'll try again next week or something. good look folks..

I downloaded Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker, click on what looks like a document icon and the installer runs, it took hours for each download, after installer says finished I cannot find either game, the icon still looks like a document not like the ME2 icon for all other MEloads
