    Maybe somebody can help me out? A couple of issues.

    This is a question for DevKit users:
    Basically, BioWare released a whopping 2GB new DLC for Mass Effect 3 titled, "Omega." I downloaded it, unlocked it, dev signed it, and threw it on the HDD. Loaded the title via devkit signed xex, (which is updated to Title Update #2) and everything loaded fine, BUT once the game got to wanting to detect all the downloadable content, I get a "The disc is not readable" message and i'm shot completely out of the game. So naturally I updated the game with the latest title update (Title Update #4/ Region Free) through xextool, and put the patches inside the game root, along with the patched xex. Loaded the title and it black screens, so something is crapping on the Title Update. Doesn't even load the BioWare/EA boot animation now. My guess from that, is that while the patched xex is loading fine, the patches I threw in with it are not being found. = / I dunno.

    So I went ahead and jumped back down to 20871 XDK, so that I can enable some files with that flash, to be able to run retail code on a dev. Downloaded the Title Update again, kept it in it's container, and placed it in the appropriate folder just as you would if you downloaded it on a Retail. Loaded up a clean retail default.xex, and everything loaded fine. BUT AGAIN, once the game began searching for downloadable content, it gives me the "The disc is unreadable" error. WTF????? :eek:

    So I thought, well maybe the Title Update isen't in the right place, so I went to move it and it couldn't. Meaning the game had a hold of it, which meant it had been picked up correctly with the xex. Soooooooooooooo THEN I thought, "Maybe it's the DLC causing all this mess???" >;( So I removed the entire 2GB DLC container, and surely enough, everything loaded fine. -.-

    WHAT THE %$#&?????????????????????????????????????? :grief:

    With all this ridiculous trouble shooting, I could only conclude that this DLC error is a result of 2 things,

    Either 1, i'm not on the latest flash, (pretty recent though)
    or 2, My DLC is corrupt. (I highly doubt this though, because the DLC shows up just fine on the Dash, and the filesize is right on the dot.

    Suggestions???

    I will download the DLC again, to somewhat help rule out number 2.
