*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.

@teh_n00binator, dude, please let me know if you have any luck... I'll post if i find anything out.

Too much, Map Pack broken, too much.

dude, could you be a bit more precise on where to put the zip folder please.

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.

oh, i may have found it... C:\Users\'name'\Saved Games ?

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.

oh, i may have found it... C:\Users\'name'\Saved Games ?

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.

good job guys! : )

Are there servers with the new maps on yet?

Too much, Map Pack broken, too much.


Damn, I wonder what else can go wrong!?!

Jeez.. i just bought this and i tried to open the dlc zip folder and it says it's corrupted? Man i wasted 9.99 on this.. I'm in US area.. can anyone verify if they have the same problem? Bad download? Crytek please fix this and i really really wanna delete my debt card in this website cuz i know your website ain't secured cuz it seem not to required to have a pin nbr and that's unsafe. PLEASE for the love of god let me be able to DELETE it instead of edit it! However i wanna play those dlc maps but i seem to have a problem!! FIX IT!

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?!

pcnuttie apparently you have to manually move the zip file to the crysis 2 dlc folder, i can't confirm this since i refuse to pay money for maps

help i purchased dlc. game froze after alt + tab because i didnt see anything downloading. i went in the DLC folder and had a file with a size of 107,365kb
