Mass Effect 2 *Full, Final* DLC & Patch Repack 2011 - illiria

You know the drill. This is the best damn Mass Effect 2 DLC repack ever. And if you're thinking "Oh, I already have all DLCs, patches and cracks" - imagine what it's like, to have them all installed by pressing one button. ;) Mass Effect 2 DLC Pack includes the following DLCs: Aegis Pack Alternate Appearance Pack 1 Alternate Appearance Pack 2 Arc Projector Arrival Blood Dragon Armor Cerberus Weapon and Armor Collectors Weapon and Armor Equalizer Pack Firepower Pack Firewalker Inferno Armor Kasumi - Stolen Memory Lair of the Shadow Broker M-29 Incisor Sniper Rifle Normandy Crash Site Overlord Recon Hood Sentry Interface Terminus Weapon and Armor Umbra Visor Zaeed - The Price of Revenge Basics: 1) The pack will detect your game path from the registry and will know where to install. NO, I DID NOT include an option to change the path manually, because my DLC crack depends on that registry key too. If you have a crappy Rip with missing registry keys, I’m sorry, but that’s your problem. Get a normal version. 2) The pack will INSTALL EVERYTHING AUTOMATICALLY. Specifically: It will detect your game path from registry, and install DLCs there, then it will install both official patches, then it will crack the DLCs, and then it will copy game crack in game folder. So yes, you just need to press ONE BUTTON. And everything will be done for you. You DON’T NEED any cracks, or patches, or anything. All done for you. 3) Yes, it includes all the DLCs ever released, from the very first one up to “Arrival”. 4) Yes, you need to have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed in order for the DLC crack to work. At the end of the installation you will be asked if you want to install it. If you already have it, just cancel. If not – install. .Net Framework 3.5 is INCLUDED in the package. After installation, just launch the game as usual, by any of its shortcuts (Desktop/Quick Launch/Start Menu), OR by starting “RunMassEffect2.exe” file in Game Folder -> Binaries. “RunMassEffect2.exe” is a DLC crack, I have tied it to game launcher. The installer script has been updated in this version, if you had any problems before, you will not have them now. And if you STILL do, they are completely the fault of your actions and/or your computer. I have absolutely perfected my automatic installer script, it has no bugs. Been working on it for months now. For those who didn’t read anything of the above, I’ll just brief you in a few words: This is a best repack if all the DLCs, patches and cracks, everything installs with one button. Over. And for Jolly Roger's sake, seed the damned thing. :) -illiria

illiria (2011-03-29)

Symbols screwed up in the description when I refreshed the page on upload, sorry for that.

illiria (2011-03-30)

@ holloow
Of course you can get the Arrival alone, just not from this torrent. :) I'm sure there are other torrents with just Arrival.

baskinsy (2011-03-30)

Great job, but please give us Arrival as a standalone option!!!!

Theycallmewonka (2011-03-30)

The arrival is already on tpb separately. Im thinking about downloading this myself, i already have it all but as you say having it at the touch of a button is pretty nifty, thanks ;).

Theycallmewonka (2011-03-30)

@ holloow ,it's been uploaded a few times, i downloaded this version and completed it with no problems.

danilo86 (2011-03-30)

Thanks you´re the best!

RG90000 (2011-03-30)

Just to clarify (i am always cautious), this can work with a steam version right? And will steam detect the DLCs/Crack?

illiria (2011-03-30)

@ RG90000
Haven't tested on STEAM version, but if the usual DLCs and cracks work, this will too. There's nothing new here. Should work, but I can't guarantee.

greysaber (2011-03-30)

Not working. Clean install (yes legal purchased version).
If not logged into Cerberus Network gives error that none of the DLC are registered. Will let me log into my normal Cerberus account but is not giving credit for having the:
Alternate Appearance Pack 2
Kasumi - Stolen Memory
(not sure if there are any others)

illiria (2011-03-30)

@ greysaber
I heard that DLC crack (all of them are based on "giveme2entitlements", including mine) may not work on specific connection types. The issue is very rare, but I heard some people have it.
I myself have never had this issue, and can't say much about it, unfortunately. I'll check DLC pack again, in case I forgot something. Unlikely, but it's best to double check.

illiria (2011-03-30)

And I repeat, do not launch the game directly using its EXE files. Or use shortcuts, or use "Game Folder" -> "Binaries" -> "RunMassEffect52.exe".

poity1 (2011-03-30)

How can I verify in-game that all the DLC content is installed properly? Everything seems to work when I launch the game, but I don´t see any record of DLC content being available except for Arrival.

illiria (2011-03-30)

@ poity1
No, you cant really verify it, simply come to your terminal on the Normandy, and you should get a lot of messages saying you got this armor, that mission. And new locations on the map. But if arrival is there, everything else most definitely is.
Oh, and if you access the terminal once and get a message from Hackett, try to access it one more time to read your personal messages. That's where you should see the info on all the DLC things you get.

greysaber (2011-03-31)

To append/edit my earlier posting. I now have it working and stable.
Was running off the wrong shortcut; Using MassEffect2.exe instead of RunMassEffect2.exe under Binaries.
Created and tweaked shortcut and set to run as Admin (love Windows 7 but it can be touchy about permissions) and set the game to NOT connect to EA. Connecting to Cerberus Network after this is not a good idea btw unless you already have all the DLCs (at which time you would not need this download)
All my achievements (Shadow Broker, Kasumi etc) are back, though oddly I have not found any new blank/grey achievement slots for Arrival.
Guess I will need to do a another complete run through and see if it picks that up along the line

illiria (2011-03-31)

@ greysaber
Repack supposedly replaces all shortcuts for all users (Desktop/Quick Launch/Start Menu) to point to "RunMassEffect2.exe". Should do that on Windows Vista/7 too. So if you launch using any of the game's shortcuts, it should already launch with DLC crack. You shouldn't need to make any new shortcuts.
Unless there is some protection in Vista/7 preventing my pack from editing the game shortcuts, but I doubt it.

illiria (2011-03-31)

@ greysaber
As for Arrival, I haven't had any achievements either... Maybe I've included a pre-release version of it? Though i doubt it... Everything plays fine till end, no glitches or whatever. I myself don't care for achievements much.

illiria (2011-03-31)

Sorry - yeah, checked. My version shouldn't be pre-release. I've checked, and it is byte-in-byte the same as final.

illiria (2011-03-31)

SORRY, for 4-th post in a row. I've checked my game, I HAVE ACHIEVEMENTS for "Arrival". So... yeah... Maybe something went wrong with your game installation? Everything works fine here.

whys0seri0us (2011-03-31)

On the game's menu screen I see the "new content available" tab, but after I click on it, it just sends me to the ea bioware website. I clicked no to both the online options under "extras", but that hasn't helped.

illiria (2011-03-31)

@ whys0seri0us
It ALWAYS says "New Content Available", even if you have everything installed. It is completely normal. It sends you to BioWare Shop webpage.
You don't need to press any "content" buttons or go to any websites. You already have everything installed.

whys0seri0us (2011-03-31)

Thanks pal

illiria (2011-04-01)

@ blurbet
Thank you very much! :) I highly doubt I'm anywhere nearby though, I'm at least 1500 miles away from the closest english-speaking country. :D
But it's very nice to see it wasn't in vain and some people still need it.

BenvZijl (2011-04-01)

Okay i got a problem,
The DLC crack aint working for me,
everytime i try to start it up it crashes immediately.
Anyone else has this problem or know a solution for me?
Windows 7 64bit

illiria (2011-04-01)

@ BenvZijl
Usually it is a sign you don't have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed.

BenvZijl (2011-04-02)

I have de-installed it and reinstalled it 4.0
is really 3.5 needed?

BenvZijl (2011-04-02)

de-installed all .net versions i have, rebooted, reinstalled and rebooted again to finish installation still same problem. Crash when startup the activation crack.

illiria (2011-04-02)

@ BenvZijl
EXACTLY 3.5 is needed. Not 2.0, not 4.0, EXACTLY 3.5. If it still crashes - I don't know, I've tested on Win7 x64, worked fine. For other people too.

BenvZijl (2011-04-02)

any way to do it manually, installed 3.5 and still it crashes :(

GunForce (2011-04-02)

im having trouble with this DLC pack. it says that the DLCs are not authorized. i have microsoft .NET 3.5
and i am using the RunMassEffect2.exe but the DLCs are still not working. please help me.

illiria (2011-04-02)

@ BenvZijl
No way to do it manually. All the cracks are based on "giveme2entitlements.exe". If mine crashes, all the other cracks will crash too. I think problem must be in your Windows and should go away after re-installation, but I can't guarantee that.
@ GunForce
Crack (giveme2entitlements) is not perfect. It does not work while certain connection types are active. This is a rare occurrence, but no real way to fix it. The only thing you can try is disconnect and play offline. That usually helps.
It works fine with PPPoE and PPTP type of connections, what type of internet connection do you have? I haven't had any problem with crack even after I've changed my internet connection from PPPoE to PPTP.

GunForce (2011-04-02)

i honestly dont know which internet connection i have. i never had trouble withn your torrents before. dont know why im having trouble this time

illiria (2011-04-02)

@ GunForce
Because problem isn't in my torrent, it's in the crack. I made a wrapper for "giveme2entitlements.exe", but I didn't make the original crack. I always knew it's not perfect, but it is the one and only crack for DLCs. If it won't work, nothing will. All the other cracks are simply wrappers for the same old "giveme2entitlements.exe" file.

FritoLovesYou (2011-04-02)

@GunForce - same problem.

GunForce (2011-04-03)

where is "giveme2entitlements.exe" file? is it in the pack?

GunForce (2011-04-03)

i think its because i have microsoft .NET framework 4.0. ill check right now. uninstalling atm

RougeMer (2011-04-03)

Think I'm having the same problem as GunForce, game does not crash and I can play it normally, but it says my DLC isn't authorized. Any advice as to how to get through this?

RougeMer (2011-04-03)

Regarding my previous post.
Yea, never mind me. I'm an idiot, just had to run Mass Effect 2 directly from Binaries instead of the general Launcher. Also ran as Admin and that worked too. Hope this helps anyone else there who makes the same mistake as me.

Krelianz (2011-04-03)

thanks great torrent

illiria (2011-04-03)

@ GunForce
"giveme2entitlements.exe" file is packed inside "RunMassEffect2.exe file (which is in Binaries).
I have tied the shortcuts to launch RunMassEffect2.exe file, which launches the crack, and then it launches the game launcher, so you start the game with the crack, automatically.

RougeMer (2011-04-03)

Yea, great torrent all in all. Just played through Kasumi's and Zaeed's recruitment quests without a hitch. Nice.

wesleykamping (2011-04-04)

if giveme2entitlements.exe crashes in windows 7 try this
go to
controll pannel/programs/programs and features/turn windows features on or off.
and make sure to check the microsoft.NET framework 3.5.1 is on.

timer_maker (2011-04-04)

dude ur awesome !!!! i didnt even download dis....bt i jus wana say it frst ;) lol thanks alot fr da effort....i'l buy a few drinks if u wer nearby ;))

timer_maker (2011-04-05)

seedd sseedd....dwnlding at very low speed :((

ErunamoCZ (2011-04-06)

Thanks alot, nice torrent, just got a question, if installation went smooth, no problems no errors, and the runmasseffect2.exe works fine, does that mean all the dlcs are already active? or is there any way to check active dlcs?

turock3 (2011-04-06)

I'm having the same problem, once I load up the game from RunMassEffect2.exe, it takes me to what looks like the launcher. So I launch the game and when it hits the main menu it says UNABLE TO AUTHORIZE DLC. I resume a save and I check the armor locker. I have some of the DLC armors but not all. Clearly the rest of the DLC are not working I would assume. I have framework 3.5.1 as well.

turock3 (2011-04-06)

Is anybody else trying to use this dlc pack with the ME2 downloaded from the DA2 promo off that EA download manager? I tried the turning on/off windows features by unchecking and checking both boxes. Still not authorizing my DLC /shrug

gregxxx (2011-04-08)

Got the same activation notice. Unable to activate DLC. =( anyone find a way around this?

gregxxx (2011-04-08)

Should mention im using a legit copy from EA when I was able to download for free for buying DA2.

D-Rey86 (2011-04-09)

I have a problem with project overlord. When I get into the hammerhead after talking to the scientist, it shows the cut scene of it flying away. After that the screen goes black and nothing else happens. Is it a problem with the torrent or the game?
Any help would be appreciated. Btw thanks for the torrent.

Vegita (2011-04-09)

Thanks illiria...works lika a charm keep the the good work going.

Edrahil (2011-04-09)

Worked fine for me on a 64 bit Win 7.
Didnt even do clean install, just installed this over whatever DLCs I had before.
Just make sure you do everything what Illiria said,
e.g.: make sure you have Net Framework 3.5 (exactly this one), in Win 7 you might have to check if its enabled.
Game or the crack behaves differently if you are offline/online, so try both.
Thanks for all the great work :)

s_t_o_r_m (2011-04-12)

To be clear - this DLC pack is only for english/american version of ME2, right?
And all the DLC are in english/american language, right?

illiria (2011-04-13)

@ D-Rey86
Problem is in the game, not in torrent. I've passed Overload plenty of times.
@ s_t_o_r_m
DLC Pack should work for all the languages the game was released in, not only english.
-----------------------
For those who still have a problem authorizing DLCs, I don't know what to tell you. I simply can't reproduce the problem on both of my computers - works fine here.
Other people report it works fine for them too. The issue must be specific for your software/hardware, I cannot guess where the problem lies.

D-Rey86 (2011-04-13)

I think making sure givemeentitlements.exe was in there fixed the authorizing DLC for me.

gregxxx (2011-04-14)

Is anyone able to get this running with legit digital copies from EA?
Might be some anti-piracy thing.
The problem seems with not being able to log into the cerebus network so the game doesn't allow authorization of the DLC.
Anyone able to confirm this? Anyone able to get into the legit cerebus network then try loading the game up and seeing if this lets it pass authorization?

gregxxx (2011-04-14)

Alright i think i found a fix for authorization. Start Game, go into Extras, Go to Online, Turn send Feedback to Bioware off, and Auto Login to EA to Off. Restart game and no more authorization error.
Haven't played the game to know if it actually works but it doesn't give me anything about authorization anymore (probably because theres no EA Server to scan your PC for hacked DLC)
found from a different ME2 DLC torrent.
How install and play DLC Content
1) Before you can install YOU NEED TO TURN OFF gameplay feedback and autoconnect.
Do so by starting Mass Effect 2 and going to extras > Options.
Then exit game.

pbxpb (2011-04-14)

hey i just bought the original mass effect 2 but i dont feel like paying for the dlc so any chance this pirated dlc will work with my original copy??? please help

pbxpb (2011-04-14)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

illiria (2011-04-14)

@ pbxpb
Sure, should work on original copy.

dark_illusions (2011-04-14)

seeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddddddddd ffs

gregxxx (2011-04-17)

Anyone try what i suggested and see if they can access dlc in game? I'm on forced unleashed 2 and dragon age 2 right now, then i want to finish castlevania los. then maybe start of ME2.

glaramir (2011-04-17)

still having authorization problem, i got rid of DLC's, turned the EA scan stuff off in the extra options menu, reinstalled the DLC's and still authorization failure. does anyone know how to get past this?

dark_illusions (2011-04-18)

i dunno if this is a issue on my comp only or what but i try to run the exe in the torrent to install the stuff then everything crashes even windows explorer and starts locking up my comp and cant get the folder with the file in it to close or nothn gotta pretty much restart my comp to get it to go away and work again but the exe file wont open i click it and i get the lil symbol like its loading it but nothn ever happens
plz help

OriginalJ4Y (2011-04-20)

I think there is a problem with this as all worked well up until i spoke to Liara on Ilium. As soon as i left het office and went through the door underneath i CTD and it happens everytime i try it. The previous pack i was using didnt include Shadow Broker, Arrival or the 2nd appearence pack and that worked fine? Can anyone else confirm this CTD at the stage in game mentioned?

Izunah (2011-04-22)

Just wanna say Thank you very much Illiria,for this DLC super pack. everythng worked 100% and i`m replaying ME2 and enjoying it like the first time i played it.

TAIM2DAI (2011-04-25)

Thanks Ili everything was very easy to install and it all went with no problems although I haven't attempted any missions yet so we will see how they play out.
One question I do have though, Arrival and Lair of the Shadow Broker aren't appearing in my game. I'm assuming this is because I haven't met Liara yet or done the suicide mission yet ( Arrival is meant to tie Mass Effect 2 to the start of Mass Effect 3 so I assume it would be AFTER the suicide mission?)
Would appreciate if someone could help me out with the latter part. I will seed as long as needed!
Also this worked perfectly with the free DA2 version of ME2.

hahalolfailmupp (2011-04-26)

Awesome torrent, but please, dont include asteriks or w/e they are called, don't use any special symbols, and make the installer smaller, as in make the data.cab's smaller so the installer loads faster and doesn't take as much memory when started.
Anyways great pack

wntrwlf (2011-04-30)

Fast DL (2 hours on DSL...sue me) Installing now. Ill seed to 500% if its all good. THX for the UL!

thesmokemonster (2011-04-30)

I also had the problem with the error message "The following DLCs are not authorized." So I ran the ME2 shortcut on my desktop as Administrator. I didn't get the error message and I got a ton of new journal pages in-game. I think running as admin fixed the problem.
Thx for torrent.

gamingelite (2011-05-05)

wow it really is just one button you press and bang... all the DLC's are installed!
I had no problems and errors of any sort.
Thanx illiria

killerb43 (2011-05-05)

Those who downloaded ME2 through the DA2 promotion. Here's what I did to get it to work.
illiria's file installs in a different directory from where the EADM installs the game. You need to copy the game to C:\Program Files\Mass Effect 2. EADM puts that trademark symbol in there so just make a new directory and copy the files out of the downloaded ME2 to that directory. 64-bit Windows users do the same except the path would be C:\Program Files (x86)\Mass Effect 2.
Then run as Admin that file included with this download. I didn't try the normal launcher yet but know this will work on the run exe included.
As others pointed out, have your contact EA stuff all off. Then no unable to authorize message. I went into the game to Normandy and got a lot of the DLC. Not Arrival because no Hackett nor Shadow Broker but this was on a new game save so maybe they will come later.

xdynamix (2011-05-06)

So does this update it to 1.02? or can I make is 1.01.

T1999 (2011-05-07)

For people who is still having problems with the "unauthorized DLC" load up Mass Effect 2. Go to extras, then options. Click Online and make sure you have "Auto Login to EA Online" as "NO". Once you do that, restart Mass Effect 2 and it should work again. It worked for me, hope it works for you.

ShadowEdge35 (2011-05-11)

I have downloaded the ME2 from the DA2 promo but i have downloaded the torrent from Miro but i don't understand what i am doing wrong i put the file in the ME2 folder under Binaries and login but nothing comes up in my gamel plz help

Kake56693 (2011-05-11)

Nice pack, but shame about the shoddy crack. Works very randomly and eventually stops working on its own, leaving the save game unplayable. Don't bother.

iamamx (2011-05-16)

OK, I just got Mass Effect 2 and want to play the game for the first time. I am concerned that the game will bore me very soon with all these extra items at my hand in the early game, and the game will be easy to end, so I ask you is it better to start of with no DLCs, and then install them at a latter time when I end the story w/o them, or do I instal them right away? Please I need opinions and tips

m.rafay31 (2011-05-17)

@iammx: nope, the game is overall more fun if you just try out all the different weapons and all the different options. GO AHEAD AND RECRUIT ZAEED AND KASUMI BEFORE THE END MISSION, do overlord before it also but save Arrival and Lair of the Shadow Broker for after you've finished the end mission(as the dialogue will make alot more sense if you do).

iamamx (2011-05-18)

@m.rafay31 thanx 4 the info :))

tony419 (2011-05-21)

snap!!! doesnt this include the game? is it on DLC??? ahhhhh, i thought i had d game AND d dlc!!!

splatzzz (2011-05-24)

Help!! Really need a savior here!! I did everything correctly, after the installation, i went to the game folder in program files but when i clicked on the RunMassEffect2.exe folder it gave me an error that said "could not find mass effect 2 directory".. would really appreciate any help here!!! Thanks

GH05Tz (2011-05-27)

Worked like a charm . Love you illiria (NO HOMO) :)

splatzzz (2011-05-27)

Damn it! why is everyones game working like a charm, and i seem like the only one who has the "could not find mass effect 2 directory" error??

m.rafay31 (2011-05-28)

@splatz: your game registry key is broken or your desktop shortcut is broken. try checking for the latter by going into your game directory directly. if it doesn't you can use this(my own reg key uploaded):

open up regedit(google it if u dont know how) and find this key:
Effect 2
there shud be a value inside it called path, change it to wherever your main "mass effect 2" directory is.
if this doesn't work, ur gonna have to install ur whole game over from scratch.

genzeleam (2011-06-02)

One button, one step.
Great upload.

222Fusion (2011-06-03)

I have a legit copy of ME2, was just wondering if this DLC will work with it, because i dont have mine cracked or anything. Does ne one know?

Ltodemax (2011-06-05)

ah fuck downloaded this and realised its just the DLC and not the normal game... could you make it a bit clearer for other people please?

Kenpachll (2011-06-07)

hey, illiria
nice one dude, love the crack.
now IΓΓé¼Γäóm you to man.

Joeri1987 (2011-06-10)

Awesome! Thanks for the upload!

ShadowXL (2011-06-12)

Is this the full game??

Ambro2000 (2011-06-14)

Don't download it's a trojan!

Badmana (2011-06-14)

Works perfectly for a legit copy of ME2 in Win 7 x64.
I already had half the DLCs but just wanted to play the rest. I had the wrong version of Framework (V4) installed but this package installed 3.5 flawlessly and worked without a hitch.

D_A7 (2011-06-14)

Will this work with cracked version from Razor 1911 ?

raiden10k (2011-06-15)

@D_A7
yes it does work i believe
@ illiria or any1 who can help,
when i installed this, i can no longer edit the coalesced files in the game files. i open it with notepad++, and when i try and save, it always says "make sure this isnt open in another program" when it isnt. WHAT GIVES!!!!???
if thers nothing you can do, how can i uninstall this?

Python95 (2011-06-19)

It says it 'Could not find the Mass Effect 2 directory' what do i do?

tom1193 (2011-06-23)

doesnt work people, if i tried playing it would just say "mass effect 2 directory not found

sakiv0071 (2011-06-24)

does this work on tptb rip....
plz reply fast..i have just downloaded the rip version

Reciever80 (2011-06-28)

Be careful with this torrent, from the comments it seems like it'll work, however I'm using Peer block and a TON of anti P2P is coming up. So far 3 are even from Bioware. DL at yer own risk. I've got a legit copy I bought (Retail version, hard copy, etc) so I'll let you all know if it works.

Reciever80 (2011-06-29)

Also, when using the ME2.exe file that came with this (called RunMassEffect2.exe), the sound wasn't working. What I did to fix it was right click the exe file (in the Binaries folder) and checked off the "run as administrator" box. Hopefully if anyone else gets this problem it'll help.

cmdrmonkey (2011-06-30)

This works flawlessly with the Steam version of Mass Effect 2 in Windows 7 64-bit. Excellent work.

desertlizard (2011-06-30)

Fuck this "one click" automated shit. I already have a bunch of these DLCs, now I'd have to re-download them all just to get the few I was looking for, and they're all buried inside huge files. Worst of all, they're inseparable from each other. Even if this thing works, I wouldn't want it. Separate the DLCs and build an installer that lets you choose which ones to install, without forcing people to download it all.

mavrix (2011-07-01)

On steam, if you had a shortcut on your desktop (via right click-create shorcut on the steam library) it does not properly link.
I struggled with this for awhile, first using my desktop link (from above). Then used the direct link from the steam library.
All the above gave me authorization errors.
I had been drinking so didn't fully read the instructions and thread. Once I went into the binary folder though and used that link (runmasseffect2.exe or whatever) it worked just fine.
On a 2nd computer, I had to install their 3.5 framework (rather 3.5.1). It had 4 and above, but I actually had to disable that via "turn windows features on or off" before 3.5.1 would actually install.
So 2 very different computers, one with a legal (steam) version of ME2, one with a TPB rip, one on windows 7x64, one on Vistax32. One I can very for sure is working fully, on the other (my cousins) he hasn't progressed quite far enough yet to verify everything, but what should be open is available so far.

thank you for game.

akoposiiter (2011-07-05)

Running Windows 7 x64. No glitches. DLC Pack Installed smoothly on first run.

robbiegg (2011-07-05)

Hey guys I'm pretty new to this, I downloaded the torrent including Framework 3.5 and installed it. But every time I start up Mass Effect 2 I'm getting; 'Unable to authorize DLC'. I'm running the Steam version. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Cheers

robbiegg (2011-07-06)

Just tried running it through binaries as the administrator and I'm still getting the same message. Any other ideas?

mithoo172 (2011-07-07)

follwed illiria's instruction thoroughly including illiria's comments.
and it worked.i have the me2 cracked version.
thanks

mithoo172 (2011-07-07)

don't run it frm me2 main folder or frm shortcuts.
run it frm the binary folder(MassEffect2)

somon1995 (2011-07-08)

Not working, game is asking me for authorization even after i turned all the online stuff ( feedback/autologin ) off and reinstalled.
I had the game installed about 5 months ago and had all the dlc's working so there might be a problem with this dlc pack :/

somon1995 (2011-07-08)

For any of you having problem with the authorization crap download this dlc patch

Works fine for me after installing those altho it will take longer to install :p

jimpa83a (2011-07-08)

SkaJump (2011-07-16)

Thanks illiria.. Haven't DLed it yet, but the repack along with the one-button-auto-install seem excellent.. thanks for your hard work..

F-secure internet security is blocking DP_install.exe file like crazy alert about a trojan.

filuto (2011-07-23)

Hi guys can somebody help... toreen was working good until i try complete mission lair of shadowbroker when shepard leave transit station sthat asari vassal or what is her name is stuck by the cab and i can do anything... sry abou my english

theplaya7 (2011-07-26)

You're missing the Genesis DLC, just sayin'.

illiria (2011-07-27)

@ D_A7
It works with any version of the game.
@ desertlizard
If you want standalone DLCs, not a complete pack, try other torrents, simple as that. Nobody "firces" you to download it.
The reason why I made a complete repack is because BioWare official installers are a big pain in the ass. First - you have to install dozens of DLCs separately. Second - they all unpack themselves to "Temp" filder, and install from there, which takes *twice* as much time to install.
@ tom1193
If it says "Mass Effect 2 directory not found", then you either have a shitty game repack without proper registry keys, or your installation of the game is corrupted. Choose whichever you screwed up - I don't know.
@ Python95
Same as above. Get a proper version of the game and install it. Or reinstall, if something happened with your game installation.
@ raiden10k
Not sure why can't you edit coalesced.ini file, I can. Try to copy it to copy it to a different folder, edit there, then replace. Also make sure the file isn't set to "Read Only".

@ somon1995
On some types of internet connections game may still ask for authorization, yes. This is because the DLC crack haven't been configured to work with all types of internet connections, apparently. I don;'t know for sure which ones it doesn't work with. But there is no other crack, so the only thing you can do is disconnect from the internet and play offline. It works.
@ karsmagen
F-Secure detects every and all my installers as viruses. I suggest you either sort it out with them, or get a normal anti-virus. Can't be of more help. You may e-mail them telling the installations made with "Smart Install Maker" program are being falsely detected as viruses - let them test it out and remove false positives.
@ filuto
Your bug in "Shadowbroker" is exactly what it appears - a bug. Game bug, must be a broken script. No one's to blame, just the game didn't fire some script properly. The only thing you can do is replay from the save. If the bug already persists in the save, however, you may have to replay the game. And better reinstall it.
But no, this isn't DLC pack/crack bug, if that's what you're wondering.
@ theplaya7
Repack was made long ago, before "Genesis" came out. "Genesis" is just a comic prologue, to let you choose what your Shepard is like, if you haven't played the first Mass Effect game. Most of us have played it, and "Genesis" is not needed. It is not an actual content. Just a set of variables to determine your character.
@ Ambro2000
Do you think I would upload a six gigabyte trojan? That... makes sense to you?
@ Ltodemax
I thought I made it very clear in the name and description that it is a DLC/patch repack, not a game repack.
@ 222Fusion
The pack does work with legit copy of the game, but keep in mind that it installs the crack. So your game will be not-so-legit after the installation. If the moral point of it doesn't bother you much, then no problem.
@ xdynamix
Yes, the pack updates the game to version 1.02. Looks like I haven't written that in the description... Pardon me.
@ killerb43
Thank you very much for clearing out compatibility with DA2 promotion. I've had no idea it installs DLCs into different folders.
---------------
Okay, answered all that I've had the time to answer. If you have more question, post them and I'll try to answer as soon, as possibly. I have very much work at the moment (complete remastered editions of SW: Knights of the Old Republic I/II), but I'll try not to disappear for long.

Boneblade (2011-07-30)

Downloaded and installed fine. Some DLC content appears not to be working however.
- Got Cerberus Armor
- Got Normandy Crashsite
- Got Zaeed
- Got Arc Projector
- Did not receive M-29 Sniper Rifle
- Did not receive Blood Dragon Armor
- Did not receive Inferno armor
- No prompts for many quests, such as Lair of the Shadow Broker
Advice? I am running a retail steam version of ME 2.

TyMod (2011-07-31)

Really needed this. I did a direct play of the game but had trouble with the registry files. Had to download the entire Mass Effect 2 disc again to extract and install the registry file but it was worth it!!!

esbornia (2011-08-03)

Theres a trojan in the RunMassEffect2.exe if you install this, better have a good anti virus working, mine is BitDefender.

yaara (2011-08-07)

Great repack, worked perfectly. Thanks a lot!

xmajiggerx (2011-08-08)

First of all great torrent. Thank you very much.
Now my problem is that, like a few others, some of the DLCs did not install or my game will not recognize them.
I have a digital copy of the game, from Origin.
I don't know if this has anything to do with anything but it won't give me the collector edition/deluxe editions armors or weapons.
Pretty much anything that was pre-orderable.
I was just wondering if you or anyone else has any idea how to fix this?

Sluggy (2011-08-09)

1st try didn't work so i tried again and it did.
Only thing is on the 1st try, win 7 told me installation might not work and asked me if i wanted to try to find a solution and re-install...i said no.
2nd try, it worked.
Haven't plaued all of them but they're there so huge thanks to you illiria.
I'll remember your name. :)

slacker2079 (2011-08-11)

I wanted to play Mass Effect 2 and i'm very very very lucky cause illiria made all the work for me as he did at Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2...Almost 6GB of "extras" in one package and all i need to do is to press the install button...Big ups mate, i hope that you 'll do the same great job with many other great games in the future :-D

DrunkLink (2011-08-11)

downloading took a few hours but it seems to have downloaded everything. after i installed windows gave me a message asking if it was installed properly and i said yes. when i start up ME2 it says it cant authorize the dlc and it wants me to log in :\ it still says it even if im disonnected from the internet. any help? (i re-installed the repack already and restarted my computer, no change)

Rii89 (2011-08-13)

For those having problems installing try making sure you have the prerequisite's need AND turn off your firewalls/anti-virus/anti-malware.
My zonealarm wouldn't allow it to install.
That should work.

alfonso625 (2011-08-19)

Hey guys, I just installed it together with .Net Framework, however, after I installed it, it shows a confirmation dialog, "Restart Now" or "Restart Later"?
I clicked restart now, but after I run the Mass Effect.exe/ app, an error box appears saying, Cannot find the directory.
I clicked restart later but after I run the Mass Effect.exe/ app, an error box appears saying, Cannot find the directory.
what should I do? Are there any bugs/glitches/errors when installing?

alfonso625 (2011-08-19)

And when the results of the search shows the list, I click the Mass Effect.exe
that was located at C:\Program Files\Mass Effect 2\Binaries

alfonso625 (2011-08-19)

d3dx10_39.dll is not found. Re-installing may fix the problem, I reinstalled 3 times already, but nothing happens, I reinstalled the DLC 3 times, yet no changes, tsk tsk tsk tsk, is this a fail torrent?
I thought this is a good one?

redrumpanda (2011-08-20)

OMG dude I love you I got so pissed when it wouldn't work so i kept at it until I finally figured it out. You missed one vital step in your instructions...you have to run the crack application named giveme2entitlements. once I ran that it had all the dlc so anyone who can't get it to work try that. Oh and it's fucking clean no virus or malware...some of you idiots still don't know what a false positive is...

Yusuke56 (2011-08-29)

Hey illiria,
Thanks for making the DLC pack so easily accessible. I still have a problem though.
I still get the unable to authorize problem.
I think the main issue I'm having (because I've tried a lot of other methods) is that my BioPersistentEntitlementCache.ini file won't encrypt properly.
I get an error when I use Authentication programs like a patch or the giveme2entitlements_v2.exe file which says "Could not encrypt entitlement cache."
Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
If you could help that'd be great.
Thanks again!

Trollsis (2011-08-30)

Hi guys. I have a problem with this torrent. I have the razor version of the game, and when i was about half way through it (around the point when I have to recruit more ppl) I decided to get the dlcs. I chose this torrent, installed it. I wasn't asked if I want to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, not sure if I have it. However when I want to start the game it asks for disc. The funny thing is that when i press cancel, it tries to start up the game anyway, but crashes right after it when its still on black screen. I tried using the giveme2entitlements_v2.exe as suggested in one of the comments, but nothing. I have win7 btw. Help would be appreciated.

StarPhishPrime (2011-08-31)

Torrent doesnt work with cracked versions as it doesnt crack the game. Big waste of fucking time, now i have to reinstall everything from torrents that actually do work ;). Go fuck yourself illiria

CharlieTea (2011-09-01)

Thank you very much, illiria. I almost love you.
I don't even imagine how much work took you to pack all those things and make an .exe setup with a direct install. You are amazing.
Gratz, man! And a sincere thank you, again.

StarPhishPrime (2011-09-01)

*ATTENTION*
->if you are having problems with it authorizing the DLC's

Its 100megs and all u need is the entitlements.
double-click the entitlements file.
DONE!!!
Things that may affect success: install game from scratch, crack game using a diff. torrent (NOT THIS ONE) go in and pre-emptively turn off the autoconnect shit and feedback in options > online; exit game, make sure any external hard-drives / mobile memory devices are unplugged as it can fuck with the pathing, and then do illiria's not so magical 1 click shit.
Ive read it is essential that you do not have the game autoconnected before you give yourself entitelements < important.
Go into the torrent from the link i posted, click the entitlements shit and it will authorize ALL the dlc's you just downloaded. DO NOT rely on this torrent to do it for you, it probably wont work.
Cant say this was a complete waste of time since i got a bunch of free shit, but goddamn I'd like to at least open the zips that i download.
GG.

OriginalJ4Y (2011-09-03)

Shadow broker still wont work and this is on a completely new install not just game but whole pc yet every other DLC in this pack seems to work.

CrazyAlu (2011-09-04)

Tried it twice both times it said I had to connect. Was about to leave a complaint and then I realized I was just being retarded and had to use the other .exe file. Works like a charm, thank you illiria!

Badbluud (2011-09-05)

After I downloaded and installed it, all the cut scenes started lagging. This did not happen when I torrented the game... can this be fixed?

ajaxsirius (2011-09-05)

Thanks StarPhishPrime!

Ultimaniac (2011-09-08)

I read through of the comments and haven't seen this yet. When I install the pack, it doesn't create the "Runmasseffect2" exe. And when I try to start the game it gives me a message saying it "failed to authenticate the disk."

Ridinghood26 (2011-09-10)

@jovanmhn
Read the fuckin' description before hit the download button, jackass.

Alex7077 (2011-09-12)

I still don't get it you guys can call me stupid all you want but the game keeps asking me to activate the Cerberus network, what should I do???

Alex7077 (2011-09-12)

PS: I installed RAZOR1911

Alex7077 (2011-09-12)

PS: I have RAZOR 1911

Alex7077 (2011-09-12)

Never Mind i downloaded another torrent and that torrent fixed this one :)

hyperreader (2011-09-15)

this is a great upload and i dont mean to complain but shadow broker just doesnt work even after i installed it from another DLC.

stark17 (2011-09-21)

Works great! No need to do shit! 1 click, drink a cup of coffee. THEN PLAY! BTW i DLd GAMES4THEWORLD torrent of ME2. Also a straight up extract then install version of ME2. No need for cracks, and works beautifully with this torrent. Thanks uploader!

GleenCross (2011-09-23)

Thanks man ^^
You realy know how to "sell" your work xD

bihsethy (2011-09-26)

Tthe first time I installed it (with connection on, on Win 7), windows reported that it wasn't installed properly (even though the setup went fine) upon finishing installation, and I couldn't play the DLC (the game reported that it couldn't validate the DLCs because, I wasn't logged with account that bought them). The second time I ran the installation (and game afterwards) was without internet connection, and it went fine (no errors whatsoever), and game didn't report any errors (DLCs worked).
So, can I play the game with DLCs with internet connection on ??

bihsethy (2011-09-26)

Again me ... Just tried it again WITH internet connection ON, it won't work; WITHOUT it will. Is it just me or ... ??

Wolf069 (2011-09-27)

Works well for me..
...Many thanks,but game crashes with great frequency since dl.
As I save frequently,I would only call this a bit of an annoyance.
Thank you very much!

In order for this to work u have to go ingame in the menu , at the online section desable online feedback and the other option

kstl (2011-10-10)

Hi Illiria,
I've downloaded stuff from you for other games before and it worked fine.
But I'm joining the small percentage of people who cold not get it working. After clicking install and "execute the commands" appear, the installer crashes for me.
Win 7 ultimate, just took off my .net framework 4 to see if it would make a difference (if you put 3.5 AT THE END of installation then it would'nt make a difference at this point would it?)
Anywho... off to download another 5gb torrent :(

Mr.Biggz (2011-10-11)

Great job illiria! This is perfect except for one issue. Some of my cutscenes seem to lag now, not just ones from the dlc either. Before I installed this my fps never dropped below 60. Does anyone know how to fix this? This was installed over a legit DVD copy of the game btw.
I suspect the problem is gonna be in the .exe file but idk for sure

Mr.Biggz (2011-10-12)

Nevermind. Forcing AO through nvidia inspector introduces serious lag during cutscenes when using the Mass Effect 1 flag. Switching to the UT3 flag fixed all my problems.
So this pack is 100% perfect!

tonydiediedie (2011-10-20)

is this the full game too? or is this just the dlc pack? do i still need to download another mass effect 2 torrent? cuz i try it and it asks for the mass effect 2 path

tonydiediedie (2011-10-20)

well i guess the full game is 14 gigs. so i guess this is just the dlc and the patch.

axayd (2011-10-20)

i got a problem...
dlcs work fine but the game now lags more and a i get a lot of sound stutters, did not have this problem before installing dlc...
overall a good torrent so thanks illria but would appreciate if u can help here.
running on vista-32 bit on games4theworld version.

necoooooo (2011-10-26)

illiria, you are super as always.
are you a PERFECTIONIST? of course you are!

LiveDoom (2011-10-27)

Great upload, I love not having to install one by one, too tedious especially since most of the 'content' is as insignificant as a wardrobe change. Thanks.

FireTOR (2011-11-03)

I am using win7 sp1 x64. I tried to install it & the installer never reaches the end & says installed successfully. But it never created any new exe file inside binary folder. The WIN 7 has .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 pre-installed so I don't see any prerequisite prob there. After installation I see only 8 folders in BioGame/DLC. Where 3 is empty. So I think it didn't install correctly. The TEMP folder never had any exe files while installer running. I am on a very low speed connection. So, please tell me how can i extract files from the CAB files. Other common CAB files work with WINRAR. But this one is created with SIM. So it is not opening with anything. PLEASE HELP!!!

snyp3r5 (2011-11-04)

Aww.. Doesn't have Genesis.. ;_;

ahiromu (2011-11-09)

I'm HAD a similar problem to fire. Win7 Ultimate, 64 bit. The runmasseffect.exe or whatever never appeared for me (Maybe because I have a cracked version of the game). In order to fix this, run the entitlements .exe from this torrent:

*Props to starphisprime on page 7 for this

MacF34RsoN (2011-11-15)

Uh. I hope someone is still watching this torrent because I have a question. The torrent works fine, but when I get halfway through any mission it just black screens on me. And I installed .NET Framework 3.5 and uninstalled every other one I had. I just want to play through the dlc :c

MacF34RsoN (2011-11-15)

I have also read every comment and tried everything anyone suggested. But if someone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

vanderportela (2011-11-16)

Hi friends, I installed here and proceeded to install correctly, but when I start the game an error that states can not find the directory of the game.
Please help me, what should I do?

MacF34RsoN (2011-11-16)

@vanderportela Do you have the game installed because this pack is just the DLC. Otherwise it's a pretty straight forward download...

MacF34RsoN (2011-11-18)

Okay to revise my first comment the game only crashes when I'm about half done Project Overlord and Lair of the Shadow Broker. Does anyone else have this problem?

pen_guin (2011-11-21)

Hey everyone, I just received a letter in the mail from Comcast (my ISP) stating simply that I am violating someone's copyright or something and they listed this file as the one. Just wanted you guys to be careful, apparently Bioware or EA is watching this file or something. I don't know the logistics, but I was basically given a cease and desist letter, the only real threat being that Comcast will discontinue my service. Just thought people would like to know.

JatAirways (2011-11-26)

No Genesis included? :(

soriah (2011-12-12)

I downloaded this today and am very grateful you took the time to do this. there is so much new stuff that wud of cost me about 4 times more than what i payed for the game itself, plus theres stuff not available anymore. No problems whatsoever and i got everything, i saw ppl were having problems and was a bit worried so i checked.
For those of you who have been asking if this works with the steam version which u dont get disks for its all downloaded through them, it works fine and you can even carry on launching the game from the steam library rather than the shortcut that gets put on desktop. i checked this and got rid of shortcut only after it was confirmed to have worked. also as orgin is something very much like steam i dont think there will be problems with that either but i cant say for sure.
so thanks a bunch illiria you do good work, make it so much easier for people to get it up and running, and gonna watch your profile for more stuff, already looking into your dragon age dlc. I seeded as much as i can but i cant leave my pc on overnight and when i close bitorrent it removes any finished downloads and i have no idea why (might be my pc as i put a lot of security on it to be on safe side)

onemasta (2011-12-20)

please seed! it's coming like 30kb/s.

Xenous (2011-12-21)

Installed with a legitimate retail DVD. Crashes as soon as I try to install this pack. What a waste of 6GB of my precious usage...

JCIce (2011-12-29)

It kills point of torrents to make these packs where one cannot pick and choose what they want, so if there is a problem it just results in 6 GB wasted bandwidth. I recommend instead, it has all 22 and you can just get what you want, without issues.

rkris13 (2012-01-04)

I'm having a unique problem. I have the game installed in E:\Mass Effect 2. My OS is Win7.
I click on the installer and after a while the UAC box shows up asking for admin rights. I click OK and the installer just disappears. I don't know what to do.
I tried copying the files to the ME2 folder and running the installer but the same thing happened.\

rkris13 (2012-01-04)

Nevermind my last comment. After a dozen more tries it worked.

otorinolaringologija (2012-01-09)

we will w8-ing for mass effect 3 be ready

ssj11_Vejito (2012-01-13)

Okay, to those of you who have the Steam Version of Mass Effect 2 and still want Steam to keep track of your stats and have the DLCs authorized, here is what worked for me:
1.) After downloading, run the DP_Setup.exe. (Might as well run it as an Admin.)
2.) After it installs, go here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect 2\Binaries and run RunMassEffect2.exe
3.) *THIS IS IMPORTANT* After it "authorizes" (It will seem like the main menu can't be accessed, but don't worry, just wait for awhile and the "Connect to Cerberus" will finally show itself.), go and load your game using whatever saves you have. (Oh and if you did not turn off the automatic connections in the Online options, do so and repeat step 2. You should do this using the original Mass Effect 2 launcher. Either through the library or the MassEffect2.exe in the Binaries folder.)
4.) Once you are in the game, save it. (You can go to your terminal to confirm if all the DLCs are installed correctly, but it is not necessary.)
5.) Exit the game. (You will notice that Steam does not indicate you were in Mass Effect 2 even though you were. This is because you were running the game through illiria's cracked version.)
6.) Now you can run Mass Effect 2 normally. (Either from your Steam library or go back to the Binaries folder and run the original MassEffect2.exe.)
7.) You should now have the DLCs installed/work properly while at the same time have Steam still keep track of how much hours you put into the game.
Disclaimer: Seems like people take advice from these comments and if it does not work in their system, they think everyone else is wrong. That is not the case. What may work for some, it may not work for others. So there. If this does not work, don't get mad, just accept that sometimes things just aren't going to work out.
Hope this helps out other people and many kudos to illiria for this!

ssj11_Vejito (2012-01-13)

By the way, here are my system specs:
Win 7 Ultimate x64
Intel Core i7 920 3.4 GHz (OC)
12 GB RAM
1 GB nVidia GeForce GTX 285
Mass Effect 2 Standard Version (As opposed to the Digital Deluxe version.) installed on Steam. Though I don't think it should matter. But it might, I don't know.

ShinSonJazrin (2012-01-13)

Got a C&D letter from comcast off this torrent. Beware.

wowme (2012-01-25)

Can you import save games from pirated versions or you have to buy it?
Thanks.

SadeMoro (2012-01-27)

So, I got the Deluxe edition of ME 2 on Steam, and I was wondering, If i installed all this DLC onto my legit version of ME2 via Steam, what are my odds of being found out? I'd rather not get banned and all.
I'd normally just use the pirated version and transfer my save over, however the pirated version of this game is having some bad graphical problems which don't exist on my Steam version.
So, can I install this on Steam without fear of getting banned? What about with Peerblock + Steam in offline mode, would that work?

ssj11_Vejito (2012-01-27)

Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've done it. Steam doesn't and can't trace that. EA/Bioware do that and even that doesn't matter. So it is okay to install this without the fear of you getting banned or whatever fear you have.
By the way, if need help getting this pack to work, read my comments on the bottom of page 9. (The previous page before this.)
Hope this clears some things up.

Help I can't find the crack or use the crack. I'm not sure what might have gone wrong. Maybe because I don't have the purchased version of the game.

New_Gear1990 (2012-02-06)

Hey people, i had a question..
I know importing both legal and illegal savegames work, however im in doubt of buying ME3 now, but dont know if my previously illegal savegames from 1 or 2 will work? Does anyone know the answer? Or someone who has imported an illegal savegame from ME1 to a Legal ME2 sucessfully? Any help greatly appreciated! Cheers.

ovnoglavi (2012-02-07)

Hello there Illiria... You are f***ing great developer man! Thank you so much for this "one click" stuff... I can't imagine how much time it took to do something like this, but... Pure genius!!! Oh, by the way, this pack works awesome on win 7 ulti 32 bit!

TabooTech (2012-02-09)

Hey,got one question,not sure if it's already asked,too bored to scroll through all the comments,anyways, is it possible to use ur dlc pack on original game? Cause i rly would like to avoid paying 40 euros for all the dlc i want.

Cysta (2012-02-10)

Thanks a lot, you're a fricking genius! one button... just... awesome :)

Vasari (2012-02-12)

hey guys i downloaded this after i downloaded the ME2 crack version and i was going thru a walk through from a friend and after i downloaded this apparently my runmasseffect2 doesn't come up as a vaild win32 application or something all it brings me to is a paper looking app and when i click it , it says "windows is searching for Runmasseffect2.exe. to locate the file yourself, click browse." when i click browse it brings me straight to the binary folder in the main mass effect 2 folder so my first instinct is to click on the launcher in the binary folder (as i read from comments this is the wrong thing to do however i only notice that untill afterwards) but can anyone point me in the right direction on how i can get runmasseffect2.exe to work because it doesnt place another exe in that folder so im completely stummped at this point im ready to uninstall and start fresh and by the way im on a windows 7 64 bit computer not sure if that helps just trying to shead some more light on this situation after reading the comments ive seen sooo many stories i dont know what to try out or what will work. most likely since im such a damn idiot and a noob i wont realize that people may be replying to this comment so if you wish you can email me at [email protected] but if not ill try and not screw over my self even more by not checking for replys haha xD

Vasari (2012-02-13)

nvm guys i fixed it i was trying to download another pack and somehow it gave me "giveme2theessitnals.v2" or something like that and i used that from the other file to launch and correct the problem i had with authorizeing the dlc content for this one

SHr1KeS (2012-02-17)

Does anyone know if this has a regular save file?
Or what I mean is, Can I import my Mass Effect 1 saves to this and THEN take this save and import it into Mass Effect 3?
Im playing through all the games in anticipation for ME3. Gonna be GREAT!

nandinemp (2012-02-17)

didn't work here, the game see that dlc isn't original

SovereignDWN (2012-02-20)

Hey guys, I see there are still people, who have difficulties with giveme2, online setting in extras and such, but my problem is - I already tried all these solutions and still ONE of the DLC's doesn't work (everything else works great). I tried to change my network settings several times and still nothing (also re-installed different versions of the game five times). Dont get me wrong, I really appreciate Illiria for outstanding DLC pack and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it. I always solved problems with online games before (i'm really not a noob, so please don't treat me that way :)), but now I just dont know what else to do and I'd really want this dumb Zaeed to work since he's supposed to appear in ME3. So, please is there ANYTHING else I can try to make it work? I appreciate any help... Thanks (please pardon my english)

GrimReaperrz (2012-02-21)

@ironymon learn to read u fool it locates the path automatically it doesn't matter if u have it on d as long as u got a proper version with all the registry keys
Thanks for the DLC's Illiria

GetGully (2012-02-21)

nice dlc has everything downloaded fast and everything worked 10/10

Takuat (2012-02-25)

Will this work with Texmod?

taptwo (2012-02-28)

@Takuat
I have a legit copy on Steam, and no, this removes it - if this pack works for you I guess you could just reinstall Texmod (seems logical enough) though I don't know for sure.
First off, thanks heaps to you, illiria, this is an amazing pack. I'm having problems getting it to work, though, and I have some questions:
- There's a so-called "trojan" called Artemis something that my McAfee is picking up and automatically deleting. Searching around shows it's important to getting the DLC to work, and that there's no way to stop McAfee deleting it. Do you have any alternatives/workarounds/any advice to help?
- I'm still planning on getting this pack up and running, but if I wanted to uninstall how would I go about it? I'm guessing it's more complex than just deleting certain files.
If it helps, I have Windows 7, a bought copy on Steam with free Cerberus DLC installed, and I've always had the feedback/automatic connections turned off.

pbplayer1221 (2012-03-01)

Hey guys I seem to be having a problem. I downloaded it and installed it. but after that it said it couldn't locate the directory. i tried reinstalling it and it did the same thing. any tips? do i need to have steam installed?

otorinolaringologija (2012-03-14)

get rdy for mass effect 3 dlc

vivaldiren (2012-03-15)

I apologize in advance if there is some hidden solution somewhere, but regardless of what I do everything works only up to giveme2entitlements.exe at which point it runs and claims to have altered BioPersistentEntitlementCache.INI but in reality has made no changes. After following the directions to the point of disconnecting from my internet and reinstalling ME2 to get a fresh start and receiving the same amount of success. I have looked into a number of different solutions with no success. I have a legitimate copy of Mass Effect 2 (Collectors Edition) along with a Multi6 pirated copy. I don't believe this to be the fault of anyone but myself so any feedback would be appreciated.

pirate_Johnny (2012-03-15)

OK, so I installed the one-button thing, started the game via runmasseffect2, but i get "new content available" in the menu, indicating that it may not have the DLC's active.
In the achievments menu, i can see the DLC achievments, but how do i know if the DLC's are active?

easyskankin (2012-03-20)

holy crap, thank you!! worked perfectly. just clicked the .exe and away it went. everything works the way it should.

Shitler (2012-03-26)

Guys I need some help, i downloaded it and installed it. Everything went of without a hitch. But whne i launched it ( yes from runme2.exe ) the dlc didnt work. When i ran as admin it worked but i had to start a new save, when i tried to transfer save to my non admin account it said dlc unavailable even tho i had it installed. So i can only use dlc on admin account and my character who has everything is on other account. Anyway to remedy this?
Ps i have framework 4 but the dlc is running fine on admin so i dun think thats the problem.

Derpwang (2012-03-26)

does anyone know if this works with the steam version?

Derpwang (2012-03-26)

nvm works fine

powerangah (2012-03-27)

I don't know why but I'm not getting a "runmasseffect2.exe" just the usual binary folders though. Help anyone? Please.

sidsin21 (2012-03-27)

First o all, thanks for an awesome torrent.
I seem to have a bug in LOTSB tho. Just when i exit the building of dracon care and theres a cutscene which shows a fight between liara and Vasir, the screen freezes and it says loading. After a few seconds i get to move but there are no enemies and Vasir is frozen. Also there are is nothing which is interactive. I seem to be just stuck there. I havent read all the comments. So plz some1 help if they have experienced the same prob...dying to complete LOTSB!

powerangah (2012-03-29)

nevermind, found the problem. it installed to another folder rather than the directory i installed it. had to edit the registry to do this. this is why i'drather configure where it installs rather than install it in a "click of a button"

DracoMagister (2012-04-03)

keeps asking me to connect to cerberus network to access DLC, but i followed ur instructions to the letter, even running the "runmasseffect2" file as administrator won't work, it keeps asking me to connect. any help would be much appreciated.

RRS1996 (2012-04-10)

it keeps saying data 2 and 3 (the only other things besides dp setup) are corrupted. Help?

easyskankin (2012-04-10)

THIS WORKED PERFECTLY!! I have Razor1911's version of the game and it worked like a charm. just double clicked the exe and was done in like 30 seconds. all the DLC popped up in the game and works correctly with no errors. thanks illiria!!!!!!!!

KibaRO (2012-04-14)

uhm i looked at other DLC torrents, and those have more than 6 GB, and have maybe less content then yours, how come?

taptwo (2012-04-17)

I wrote a comment on page 9 describing my problems with the DLC - posting an update here, for what it's worth.
Anyway, it ended up working after I installed a separate DLC torrent from here (one of the AAPs); that one activated all of the DLC. I guess the crack in this doesn't work for some people. I reinstalled Texmod with no problems, too. Anyway, thanks again illiria!
One last thing - there is a bug of sorts in LOTSB, when I play as FemShep the wardrobe changer on the ship is always a male torso, and the dossiers refer to Shep as a he. Why is that? Last I remember the dialogue acknowledged Femshep's gender. I lol'd at first but now it's just weird. Does this happen in legit copies or is it something in the crack?

 AncientRome (2012-04-23)

This works great, thanks for uploading. I released I wasn't getting the DLC because I wasn't using the new cracked exe you provided.
Thank you for the DLC and Patch, even though the patch doesn't fix much.

alec2dmax (2012-04-24)

You the man illiria! Or woman. The package works perfectly :)

Tardhammer (2012-05-01)

Was Wondering if anyone knew if this worked with any of the Cheat trainers out there. When I try to activate the trainer it crashes the game. I have tried all the versions but they all dont seem to work anymore after I installed the DLC. I figure it has something to do with the Crack for the DLCs.

Tardhammer (2012-05-01)

Does anyone know if this works with any of the Cheat trianers out there. I have tried all the versions for Steam but they all seem to make the game crash after I activate them. I think it has something to do witht he Crack for the DLCs but i could be wrong. Let mek now if anyone has an answer to this problem.

Tardhammer (2012-05-01)

NVM i found out what it was.
Note to anyone using a trainer: If you have the steam version of the game the steam version o fth etrainer will NOT work. The Crack used for the DLCs is a RETAIL version. So make sure you are using the most recent or in this case 1.02 version of the retail trainer.

yaoi011597 (2012-05-28)

can someone help me out? currently im trying to finish kasumi - stolen memory, but at the end part where you have to fight hokan, i take down his shields but then nothing happens. he just hides and doesnt come back so im stuck in the level. help would be very much appreciated pls! :)

hej123123 (2012-06-01)

is there a way to just install some of the dlc? or is there a way to activate/deactivate certain dlc?
because i'm only interested in a few dlc, but there's a lot of them i don't want to have in my game.

fireydeath81 (2012-06-08)

So this isn't the actual game files? This is just all the DLC?

hunter_ii7 (2012-06-10)

If you are getting the message that wants you to activate your DLCs with EA then go to options go to onlie turn them both off, then search your C drive for the .exe runmasseffect2 this is the mod that bypasses the error run as admin and your done. send it to desktop and rename it Mass Effect 2 if you would like but you need that mod to use the DLC. Worked for my Win 7 86x Alienware M14

Maciek96 (2012-06-10)

guys i really need help i installed the bloody thing and i have the dlc for sure because its asking to authorize them, how do i authorize this dlc ???, i thought it would be included in patches but its still asking for authorization. Please Help.

Maciek96 (2012-06-10)

@ illiria
i kinda suck at game files and installation, so i kinda need help, i have installed the file and when i turn on the game its still asking me to authorize the dlc, how do i do that???

theq88 (2012-06-14)

Hey, what exactly is ripped in this release? Everything seems so well done, can't believe it fits into 6GB. Or is it just mad compressed?

binoklis (2012-06-28)

Great torrent and all, but I dont see Genesis DLC. What's with that?

3x3tr4tor (2012-07-03)

Will this work with the bought game? I just don't want to spend so much money on DLC's.

3x3tr4tor (2012-07-03)

And no my game is not the steam version or the Origin version. It does not use a client, it just plays offline.

mikke12345 (2012-07-06)

Whenever someone is arrogant I know that 50% of the time - he is wrong.
It's the case with this torrent also. Although this is a great package (everything gets installed nicely) even though you completely follow given instructions there is a big chance you end up with "Activation message" once you are in game.
HERE IS HOW TO 100% EVADE THAT MESSAGE:
1. Install everything as it is said in this torrent (it'll also update the game to 1.02)
2. Enter the game, see if you get that "You need to activate DLCs message). If that's the case, go to Options -> Online and set No for both options related to connecting Online (Sending Feedback / AutoConnect to the Cerberus)
3. Download giveme2entitlements.exe from any of the DLC torrents - like this one -
4. Disable the Internet Adapter / take out Lan cable from your computer
5. Run giveme2entitlements.exe, overwrite file
6. Start the game using RunMassEffect2.exe (not other files)
7. DLCs will now work
There is a high probability you'll need to repeat steps 5-7 everytime you start the game ;)
Enjoy!

LokiGod1 (2012-07-09)

@cakemonster or anyone else that can help.
I've tried everything that you've said, but I still get the problem that a few others mentioned before. After I extract the rar files to the desktop (which works no problem), I hit setup.exe. I click next to all the screens and then I get the installation progress screen that has two bars on it. The first bar is the "extracting files" progress bar, and it freezes right below the t of "extracting".
I've tried everything here:
-extracted rar to desktop, tried while not connected to internet (even though that was another issue entirely), ran as adminstrator, set compatibility to winxp sp3 (i'm on win7), restarted my computer before running setup, updated files/drivers (though separate issue)
...anybody know what's the issue.

LokiGod1 (2012-07-09)

(continued from above)....
an added bit of info that may be useful:
Since I can't hit cancel or the top right x button, I have to ctrl-alt-del the setup to exit out of it. When I do that, the unpack.dll file is still active and using memory in the processes, so I have to end that process separately. May have something to do with it?

LokiGod1 (2012-07-09)

(again)...
just realized that above comment isn't that clear. What I'm saying is that after waiting an ungodly amount of time waiting for the progress bar to move I give up and ctrl-alt-del to get out of it. When I do the unpack.dll is still running.
I was thinking the problem may (potentially) lie with the unpack.dll. Not sure at all, but just wanted to relay the info to help solve this problem.

Fritz. (2012-08-17)

this installed the files fine, but the authenticator did not work.
using the giveme2entitlements_v2.exe program from another DLC download seems to be working though.

plord1 (2012-09-26)

got a legit version of the game but didnt want to pay so much for the DlC's. this works 100%
absolutely no problem and hassle free. Illiria this is one of the best game torrents i have downloaded many thanks you deserve a green skull for this torrent

rex_lim0101 (2012-11-02)

guys I need help! since the setup does not prompt for the path, the default path is C. However, my C drive is almost full. Is there a way to install the game in a different drive? Thanks!

killvhin (2012-11-07)

All those having problem of "DLC directory cannot be found" it's because of messed up registry or you just used a rip version of mass effect. You can still fix this by downloading a registry file for mass effect 2. RUN it. then afterwards go to that registry using REGEDIT you should notice that under PATH binary it is blank. so all you have to do is copy paste the correct directory location of your mass effect 2 to it then you wont have any problem on all DLC. this happened in my case because i've installed mass effect 2 on my drive D when i'm still using windows xp. so when i've formatted my main OS drive and replace it by windows 7 enterprise. my copy became unregistered.
HOPE this helps. NICE WORK ILLIRIA i really love mass effect series!! love the dragon age armor LOL

Fantomnz (2012-12-24)

@rex_lim0101 !!!!!Read the description above!!!!!
@killvhin Just copy your save file & do a fresh install, replace saves....Problem solved.
No registery editing which is Highly NOT recommended unless you really no what your doing.........

BizkitBoy_ (2013-02-09)

If you still get the "unable to authorize DLCs" error even with giveme2entitlements_v2.exe, download this activator:
It worked perfectly for me and I don`t have disable my network connection every time I want to play the game.

LordHakkera (2013-04-16)

For anybody who (like me) is not getting the "RunMassEffect2.exe" file to appear in Binaries - disable your AntiVirus/SpyWare etc. software temporarily. During the installation, the progress bar will seemingly skip the last ~10%, which is a sign of your software blocking it from installing certain components.

Fantomnz (2013-06-04)

You can just DL the help files if that's all you need from this

gopitri128 (2013-08-06)

Any chance you could make a pack like this for Mass Effect 3? I'm trying install all the ME3 dlcs, and it's a nightmare because no one has it all packed together and I can't get the crack to work. I used this torrent for ME2 and it was a breeze. :)

avidgamerx (2013-09-22)

Great upload, installed like a charm and WAS working allright till yesterday. I finished half the game with the DLC's active, but suddenly last night when i started the game, an error msg pops 'giveme2entitlements has stopped working' and none fo the DLC's worked. Reinstalled the game and dlc's for over 5 times, still same issue. Plz help.
