ME2 DLC not visible in Origin

[SilentShark01]

Hello,

I've recently added my retail key for ME2 to my Origin account, so I can now play ME2 through Origin. However, I see no way to install DLC through Origin. In ME3, the list of DLC appears below the game description box, but in ME2, nothing appears. I have all my old DLC purchases in my Order History from when I bought them through the Bioware store, so my BSN and Origin accounts seem to be linked successfully.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

P.S. The same seems to be the case for ME1 which I have just registered. I see no sign of Bring Down the Sky. Is this automatically included in the main game?

Oh, well that's much more simple to fix

Origin won't list dlc for the "old games" that you have installed with a disk according to what I've read (Eg. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/106/index/7675655/1). Even if I've gotten it wrong there's a simple solution:

Install the DLC by downloading them from BSN and run the installer.

There's a thread describing your situation and that has a solution.

It's about ME2 but I suppose something similar should work for the first game as well.

Thanks for the help, but that's not the issue I'm having. The issue in that thread appears to be that Origin is downloading DLC that is already installed. My problem is that there appears to be no DLC available.

I guess that when I click the 'i' button for the game, I should get game details followed by the list of available DLC. This is what happens for ME3. However, for ME2 I only see the game details, and then nothing below.

Origin isn't downloading the DLC because it isn't there...

I got 5 pages in to that thread before abandoning. I'll keep reading to the end in case someone else pops up with my issue.

I just registered my copy of ME2 that I had with Steam on Origin (so that it tracks achivements and to make the DLC easier to track), and I notice the same thing.  However I noticed the only DLC for ME2 that is not showing is what I had already purchased minus the Cerberus stuff.  For example I purchased Overlord (which is not showing) but not Kasumi (which is showing). It is interesting.  Downloading the DLC dirrectly from BSN is a suitable bandaid.
