Life sucks! What a pain in the ass!!!!  I don't know how many months I haven't had internet in my house. I miss this game so much. My parents died & I've been having nothing but money & job problems ever since. But this Sunday I'm finally going to have my internet back. Can't wait to jump back on & play some ME3 multiplayer.

 

So what's been going in the past few months?  Are there still a lot of players?  Any new players? I can't freaking wait! I could've had the internet connected on Friday but I have to work all day. So Sunday it is.

 

I haven't even been able to play single player because I bought a new 360 & a transfer cable. I transferred everything & then I had to shut my internet off & then when I tried to play ME3 it said I was missing a bunch of DLC. But it says all the DLC is on my hard drive. I don't know what the hell happened but it's damn annoying not being able to play my favorite game in the world. So I have to re download them all. I hope I can get everything working again.

Welcome back. You've been missed. I don't Xbox any more, but there is still a bunch of people on here playing on that platform.

I underwent a lot of frustration having my 360 replaced a few months ago, because of the licence issues that are at the root of why that happens.

 

Because of Microsoft's convoluted licencing system, a whole lot of games on your hard drive are likely to have problems related to DLC, especially if you intend to play them offline.

 

It sounds like you already know how to address the issue, but for the sake of minimizing further frustration on your part, I'll list everything I know so that you can make sure you've got your bases covered:

 

- If you have the DLC on the hard drive and are logged in online, you should theoretically be able to play with the DLC functioning. If you attempt to play offline, that's usually where the problems will be.

 

- A critical step is to perform a "Licence Transfer." This is done while logged in online, and it is found under your account options. You can do that up to three times (I can't remember if it is three times per year, or three times per quarter, but it's something like that.)

 

- The licence transfer should make everything work while logged in online, but it will not update the licences for DLC that was downloaded on a different console. That means that the DLC still won't work when you are offline.

 

- Re-downloading the DLC updates the licence to the current console if that console is the one to which you transferred your licence. Once you have re-downloaded all the DLC, most games will now work online and offline normally - but not all of them.

 

- Any game that was principally or in part downloaded (ie not installed from a disc that is in the drive when you play) can still fail to work with its DLC. In most cases, re-downloading and re-installing it will resolve the remaining licence issues.

 

- After all that, any games that are still not working may require help from Microsoft tech support.

Leave it to freakin Microsoft to come up with some type of convoluted licensing bullshit that prevents your stuff from working right and requires you to perform minor technological surgery to repair what should never have broken to start. Well done Bill.

This is why pirating will never die. People will always find a way because it is easier to pirate than legitimately own some things. Hell, I've been known to buy the disks, then pirate/crack/etc it just because of the amount of bs involved. There is something fundamentally wrong with things if the illegal option is the better/best option. I am all for doing things legally, I don't even mind the costs involved (most of the time), I just don't want to get the run around because of some overprotective DRM. One of the things I like about the PSN is that it just works (most of the time), I just buy, and download, and don't have to worry about stupid things like having to have the right disk in, or having to keep my subscription to using my system active, etc. Other than the store being slow, the PSN has served me well.

 

Also, I'd welcome you back, but I think that technically requires us to have met, so instead, I'll just say howdy.

I play regularly on Xbox. Hit me up. My tag is MrRated82. Sorry to hear your sad news.

  I'm working as a Caregiver & I just got a call that one of my clients just passed away. Pretty much the same situation I just went though with my father back in March. So depressing!

 

  Anyway, I'm going to delete & then re-download all the DLC & hope it works. I can't use any of my DLC offline. I noticed my golden guns aren't working on Red Dead Redemption & it won't load the ninja outfit in Metal Gear Rising. 

 

 

I don't Xbox any more

 

Why not? What happened? You need to get back on so I can roast you with my flamer.
