Massive Mass Effect 'Pinnacle Station' glitch

DLC won't appear if you have Bring Down The Sky on your hard drive
BioWare is all over the recently discovered Pinnacle Station DLC glitch, which doesn't show up if you've completed Bring Down The Sky.

BioWare is working on a solution but until then you'll have to fix it the hard way, by deleting Bring Down The Sky from your hard drive and then installing Pinnacle Station.

What is with these companies? Why can't they all do DLC without such schoolboy errors?
AJDarkstar on 27 Aug '09
Guess none of their guys actually tested it before release, I wish this was surprising.
WingForward on 27 Aug '09
Surely the error was simply bringing out this slightly turgid DLC.
Yes, it's a nice easy way to get yourself 150GP, and almost any excuse to play one of the best games of this gen is a good one, but this must rank as some of the weakest DLC (aside from the fabled Horse Armour)available.

Crikey. Is the 360 the official test-bed of dodgy DLC? Confused

I had no problem with the DLC. I have completed bring down the sky as well.Showed up fine for me.

I believe this glitch doesn't affect those people who have downloaded "Bringing Down the Sky;" I have also been playing it without any problems. I think its only if you have got ME with BDTS on disc (like the classics version) that causes the problem. So don't go rushing to delete it folks! Smile

I can also play it without any problems and i downloaded BDTS.

Pinnacle is a little crap, but you do get a pointless little apartment for Shephard once you've completed it.

It should have been multi-player. Thats what I was actually expecting: that it would be a multi-player deathmatch sort of thing.
flameswordsman on 27 Aug '09
You can't patch multiplayer onto a title that has no other multiplayer components, that would be stupid and pointless. And every player on your team would be called Commander Shepard, which would be even more dumb.

Still not heard enough about this DLC to figure out whether I want to pick it up or not.

Dajmin, go for it if you like the combat components of mass effect. Don't expect any story of merit though. I think this DLC has been released to sharpen our combat skills for number 2. If you plan on getting 2, it might just be worth it.

Same here, but the first impressions don't seem to be very promising.

Meh, Its alrite, but just training simulator missions with no story.

1] Perhaps it would be hard to add MP, but your telling me its impossible in this day and age?!

2] Everyone being called Shephard would not be ideal, but thats why in every MP game your name is your gamer-tag, not the character you are playing. Anyway, if they wanted to they could have added skins, like Turian, Krogan, Salarian etc...

All im saying is, if you had actual other players, playing Capture the flag, survival etc... would be a lot more fun, and deathmatch would have been an absolute blast.
flameswordsman on 28 Aug '09
Hmm... i have bring down the sky and dowloaded pinnicle station and it worked fine for me, i've completed it already so i know it works. Anyone else the same as me, am i lucky? Very Happy
