DLC MAPS How to install from store!!

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 3:33 am

*deleted rant

Proper way as explained in the thread:


Once you buy it go to purchased items and download the dlc pack. Once downloaded chuck the zip itself (do not try and unzip) in one of these folders depending on OS:

Win XP: My Documents>Crysis 2>dlc

or

Win 7: Username>Saved Games>Crysis 2>dlc


Then start the game up and log in as normal and the maps should be available in your server browser.

I've tried to download the DLC map pack three times now each time I end up with a corrupted zip.

The downloads finished but I got three corrupted dlcpack1.zip's

Where's my **** maps Crytek? I just paid 8 **** quid for this ****

Yeah, tell me about it... I want a fix NOW!!!

and dude... prepare to get the s**t ripped out of you for bringing this up, you know what everyone is like on this forum right? I know I'll get the piss taken out of me :/ but hay, i liked the game.

Well, I hope we get a fix very soon... otherwise this WILL be the death of crytek for sure... charging PC gamers for a map pack for a broken game and the map pack being broken too, this is very bad.

You can't simply unzip the folder.

Place the zip-File in the appropriate "dlc" folder in the Crysis2 folder that you can find in "My Documents" or whatever it is called. If there is already content in there delete it. Next time you join the game it will check your priviledges and decode it.

Look for this "My document"-folder of Windows, where most games store their save games. Mine is translated to German, but yours should be named "My documents" or something like that.

In there is a "Crysis 2" folder and in there is a "dlc" folder.

Empty this one.

Place the dlcpack1.zip in there.

Start the game.

I have no 'Crysis 2' folder in My Documents :S i have looked in both folders 'My Games' and 'EA Games' and there is no folders on Crysis 2.

This is probably because you use Vista or Win7. I'm running this on an older machine today running XP.
Where does it store your player profile? It has to be in that folder where there is also the folders "download cache", "model cache", "profiles", "save games". And then there is also the "dlc" folder.

Thank you, all sorted.

On windows 7 it was Username>Saved Games>Crysis 2>dlc

You'd think crytek would give more info on how to load the map packs, would of thought you just extract the maps to the folder.

That might depend on the OS.

In XP it is: "My Documents" \ Crysis2 \ dlc


EDIT: Ah, ok, thanks for clearing it up, noobinator. Now it's finding a server I guess.

I agree.. pisses me off. Cryetk you are making me lose faith in you, i almost lost it when you had no patches then you came back and saved your reputation by fixing the game a bit. Then i had hope.. then you gave us DLC and now we cannot use it? I'm losing faith again. I'm starting to think you guys are just ripping us off. I expected better of you. Please fix the DOWNLOAD thing.. it seems to be corrupted. I couldn't even open the zip cuz it says it's corrupted?!

There's only a couple and about three people trying it (blackers included). Hopefully more people will pick it up.

Been on transit nice big map yet to try others.

You can redownload the zip file on gamesas.com. Look in your profile pages or something.
Download it and place it in the dlc folder. Where you can find that one has been said on page 2.

How did you find them to start with? In the server browser I only find the standard ones.
