Expansions aren't playing

Post » Tue Nov 02, 2010 12:24 pm

Hi All

I bought the Game of the year edition recently and have installed both disks (got the delay when installing the second disk but waited and eventually it appeared to install). I hadn't logged on to live though, because I hadn't realised it was neccessary at that point. I've been playing for a while but none of the expansions seemed to be firing up. I've doe some digging around and have taken the following steps:-

Set up a live account and logged in
Ran a new game for long enough to save.
Copied my previous save game files into the Live folder (named after my gamer tag)
Carry on playing, now logged into Live

From what I've read this should have made the extra content available but I'm still not hetting any joy. Also, I've checked and my version is 1.7.0.3 which should be up to date enough according to the FAQ.

Is there anything I can do to get the extra content to run? Is there anything I've misssed? I'm quite a long way into the game and really don't want to have to start again if I can help it.

Did you activate them under data files on the launcher?

LIVE is actually unneccesary for using the DLC content. Don't need to log in.

Didn't realise I need to.
I'm not seeing a datafiles option though.

:facepalm: Damnit I spent ages setting that up. MS were having a problem so I couldn't crate a Gamertag.

Scratch that, I was looking at the main menu rather than the launcher. I've found the option.

Thanks hugely for that. I was getting totally exasperated.

It's not necessary to log into Live. I also have the GOTY edition and I've never done that, and my game runs just fine. In fact, my Live is completely disabled since I'm using FOSE.
