you can install, but can't play until you buy the dlc.
it's simply a preload

No idea, for some odd reason the binary file doesn't have the mini ME2 logo on it... so I doubt it might work... or it's just me being negative ^^. As Mr. said above, we gotta purchase it first but... would the DLC work as some sorta.. preload? As in download it now, buy it later, install? :pinched:

Anyhow, it's about 12:23 midday here in London so that's... -7 hours for Edmonton whi-... okay, BioWare are currently sleeping right now heh, it's about 5:23 for them... 5:23... AM. I guess... gotta wait longer... bah!

Im actually semi-worried this is a virus :P

Wait is it like a hacked version?

And lastly does anyone have confirmation for a release time or?


No, it's the officla file, has been there for the last day or so. You can't play it anyway without buying. (Just like all the other DLCs - you can install them all but it doesn't matter).


Wait, so how does that work? You run the exe but it won't let you play until exactly what happens?


Yeah, you can download every DLC from the Bioware site, regardless if you own it or not; but of course you need an account that is authorized to play the DLC. You basically buy the licences via your account and the downloads only work with an authorized account. It has always been like this with ME2 for the PC.

It only says that you're not authorized to play Arrival, like it would with every other DLC if you haven't bought it.

 It is the right file. Yesterday someone from the press downloaded it from the exact same link and completed it. He even did a Spoiler thread, which can still be found.

Don't think we have an actual confirmation, but the assumption seems to be that Boware will make the DLC availably as soon as their business hours start today, which won't be for another couple of hours.


We do have an official confirmed time, Christ Priestly posted yesterday that the DLC will be available on the PC at 9am PST on Tuesday 29th March.  It is just Microsoft have decided to totally ignore this and do what is best for them.

You can download the file and you can even install the file but when you start the game up it will state that you have unauthorised DLC and it will not be available to you till it is authorised.  Naturally you can't authorise the DLC (by buying it) till Bioware get the store page up.

Well provided its confirmed. This makes no sense though, why would you release DA2 at basically 12:01 a.m. but ME2 DLC? Screw everyone 1 p.m.

All hail the King of Arbitrary.

Im about 2 missions in and Im loving it so far. Really gives you a sense of how ME3 is going to be. Also, whoever scored this DLC deserves a golden star and a big pot of cookies. Best part of the pack in my opinion. Hell its better than most of the main game and thats a pretty impressive feat lol.

Finished it! Its only a hour long, I have no idea where this "5 mission" bs came from though. Also a mini return of the much loved elevators, yeah they were only short rides, but so much better than static loading screens!
