Well, SHIT. Pinnacle Station is nothing. No really, there's nothing there, you just do some shitty battles. At the end you get a "house", which is of course useless, except for buying a weapon. Which was as good as the one I have anyway. At least patch 1.02 seems to work good Smile

No new story, like with "Bring down the Sky", which I really liked !

The flaky Mass Effect combat isn't really fun enough to justify this DLC.

P.S.: Some battles are hard to get a high score, you can use Cheat Engine to search for the seconds to find the value. Search for float-type with extreme rounding. You must search for seconds, for example 1:32 is 92 seconds. If you find 2 or 3 values, then one of them is real, but it's safe to change them all together. The value is dynamic, so don't bother saving the address.

If you just want the new achievements for getting good scores the "unlockachievement 01 to 50" or so will work just fine. Smile
(Just need to alter the INI file to re-enable the console key first, there's quite a few guides available that explains this better.)

EDIT: Well yeah, doing the actual battles would definitively be more fun. Smile

It's better to cheat the battles (the timer) than just the achievements Very Happy

One solution; PATCH it! Razz

Works fine for me (Retail rip ISO, legit key, Win7 Pro RTM- x64, 1.02a with BDtS + Pinnacle Station, using the Trivium crack because I don't want to waste my one and only activation left)

How many activations did they dole out? I have a downloaded version with a legit key for the game and bdts, only im wondering of I can get any of the activations revoked?

3, sadly. Once all 3 are used, you have to contact EA support. I used all mine (forget to revoke when I wipe Windows every few months) but they gave me an extra activation in less than 24hrs after I put in a support ticket. All I had to do was give them my serial key and they increased my activations.

Not willing to risk using it though, lol. The TRIVIUM crack (the one that comes with their cracked BDtS DLC) works fine.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure there are 5.

De-activated last weekend using the tool provided by EA and I'm back at 5 out of 5 activations for Mass Effect.

Hey guys, If I remember correctly, there should a deauthorize tool built into the 1.02 patch so that when you uninstall, it should automatically revoke that license. Can somebody confirm if that is true?

Ps. To Sabin198: you mentioned earlier that you run the game with the 1.02 patch and the 2 dlc's AND the Trivium crack. Now, I checked the trivium .exe file and it differs from the 1.02 .exe in size and version nr. So my question is, are you sure that you are benefiting from the bug fixes etc. that the 1.02 implements?

Yes I'm sure, I've played through it since updating - and, as Bioware promised, things like shadows and Garrus' face details are fixed now Smile As well as the additional achievements.

Also, PS DLC requires 1.02 to work.

Shadows seem fine and fixed for me using 1.01 crack as well btw... I can also turn on and off as instructed the dynamic shadows if needs be, otherwise the shadows are just shadows and not dynamic via on and off shadow options ingame..

No bugs or crashes or issues either and the DLC working..

So could someone with just the cracked version of the game buy the DLC and play it? Or do you need a legit game key to even buy the DLC?

Yep! The DLC doesn't check for legit game, it just patches and installs. Same goes for both DLCs (though to GET the first in a legit manner, you need a legit original key -- so just search for BDtS Trivium and DL that one Wink)

The second DLC can be bought and installed fine though, without needing a legit ME.

Ok, thx for the info Smile As for the deauthor tool I will take my chances and play the part of guinea pig myself, I have all 5 activations so I can stand losing one of them Smile

That's fucked up Smile But this form of protection is kind of the New World Order in pc gaming I guess, and boy do I hate it! (but I can't help myself when a new Bioware game is released, I have to own it) Very Happy

I hate it too and consequently, I'm no longer purchasing any game that uses this kind of activation - even if it's something epic like Mass Effect 2, Borderlands or Modern Warfare 2.

It's just too damned risky Sad

Oh, btw. I recently read an article where the "good doctors" from Bioware announced that Dragon Age would be protected only by a simple disc check, so I guess the whole gaming world hasn't been turned to shit yet Very Happy
And that's doubly nice for me as i have already made a preorder on that game Very Happy Maybe they will do the same with Mass Effect 2 (crossing fingers here) Razz

Lol, hat ?

You'll have to start a new game for the DLCs ...

Anyway, keep your savegames for the sequel !!! (the game has kept an ending-save, not normally visible unless you restart the campaign)
