Thanks man! Very much appreciated :D

Good stuff... I might need to re-download ME2 because the version I have will not allow me to properly install the patches... keeps giving a ME2 CD Key Check... Failed to authenticate the disk... message. Any suggestions?

Nevermind... I got it...

Thanks for this! :D

I'm still wondering why the 360 users always get the DLC earlier than the PC users. =/

Weighting in at 1.52GB.
Downloading at full speed so the servers aren't yet overloaded.

Update: According to Bioware forums the DLC is ready.

Maybe because there is a deal between Bioware and Microsoft ...

confirmed. First link for Lair of the Shadow Broker is active and working with the GiveME2Entitlements script. Size is 1,555MB.

Thank you, great thread.

Edit:
Ah crap, Lair of the shadow Broker has a 64 bit error

manost · 09-07-10 at 01:53 PM

How can i install it? You just run the .exe file?
I'm asking because nothing happens after running 'ME2_ShadowBroker.exe'.

I'm getting a message: "Cannot execute c:\xxxxx\xxxxx\ME2_ShadowBroker.exe
My system has win7 32bit.

This is because the installer is corrupt. We have to wait for a fix or a fixed reup.

That's not true. At the moment of writing this, the executable has not been fixed. It's 1.5GB of zeroes, that is, blank data. It's a problem that affects all PC users, so you can't "confirm" anything. Directly from Bioware, posted one hour ago:

Quote:

People using Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 can download and play Lair of the Shadowbroker. If you are an Xbox 360 user, please go ahead and enjoy the new DLC.

PC users currently are experiencing a technical issue with the downloaded file that prevents ALL PC users from playing the DLC. We are aware of this issue and have taken the following steps:

We have removed the incorrect file from the download section so no further incorrect downloads will occur

We are working on a fix for the issue and will get a working file up for PC users ASAP

More detail
If you downloaded the incomplete file (it is essentially 1.5 Gig of zeroes) this will not harm your system
You will NOT be charged again once the correct file is ready for download
We do not have a more accurate eta for the correct PC DLC, but when we do I will let you know.

As soon as we have more information I will post it here. We are sorry that this occured and we appreciate your patience as we work to get the fix to you.

Source.

I'd love to see how you got it working anyway.

Great thread - just downloaded all of the DLC - thanks so much for taking the time to collect all these. As for shadow broker (more like shadow BROKEN! ;P) is there any word yet? Just swung by the bioware forums and couldn't find anything

Moals · 09-07-10 at 06:04 PM

News says that the file was fixed... so i think the link changed...
Help here!!
