Seems like the future answer to this problem is to never log in again once they fix it.


That's what I'm planing to do.


I'm surprised that I never figured this out. I always assumed that you had to be logged in to use the DLC.


I had to log in everytime to authorize, since this weekend I discovered it was because the product key wasn't in Windows registry. I fixed that but my DLCs still didn't get authorization. Was when finally on this sunday morning I read this thread...

Seems that those with the DAO UE is most affected by this. And those with DOA UE, must be logged in to play DLC's.
Seems quite random, if can or can't for the other versions. RaenImrahl is one of the sharpest tools, uh, ppl on this forum. You can read his post here:

I contacted EA support again, they said within 24 hours it will be fixed. I told that earlier they told me it would be today, and them out of nowhere she gave me the 20% discount code. She gave it to me because I caught the lie.

what the crap? I'm at the final battle of my very first play-through and thanks to this stupid server glitch when I load my game my party is naked and unarmed!

I am so tired of depending on internet authorizations for games that are single-player "offline" games. If their crappy servers go down I am the one who gets screwed.

Time to start twiddling my thumbs for God knows how long...

Er... thanks?  B)

To clarify... you have ot log in at least one time to "activate" the DLC (or "extra content" in Ultimate Edition).  After that, you can play offline forever and ever amen.

They did the same thing to me earlier today. They're finally figuring out we know they are full of it, I think.

Is this discount valid outside US? Is your code also a 9 digit code?

Ok, your nickname reminded me of a friend, whose character was named Ortega in Earthern Ring.

I would think it is, you can use it at the EA online store, I purchased 1200 Bioware points with it.

My DLC works... for Oblivion, that is. I wasn't going to buy another game until I finished DA. I figured that would be a while since I just entered Lothering. Now with the blight on the servers, there is no telling how long it will be, so I gave in and got the GOTY with all the DLCs.

I've already found a bug in Oblivion. The code that demands I log in to authorize the content I paid for never seems to run.

Well, Oblivion is another company... other place, other building, other servers, other... well, you get it.

Yeah, sarcasm. I started a game of DAO with some user mods that I wouldn't normally play (high powered items, etc) but quickly got back to Lothering. Since I didn't want to go past that point in cheat mode, I gave up and bought Oblivion.
