  1. Can't use dlc and some games offline


    So I borrowed a friends copy of oblivion as my original copy is back at my old house. Its in good shape but when I boot up the game offline, I can't use my dlc. This has never happened to me before. I didn't download the dlc from online, I had the goty edition
    which had dlc on a second disc. I also can't play some games offline like endwar even though in the past I have been able to. I connected to xbox live again and checked for updates but still can't play offline or use the dlc. I can't really connect to live
    often as I don't have a long enough Ethernet cord or a wireless device and our wifi is kinda bad now so I intend to stay offline if I can. Console is the same as before and the only thing thats changed is I moved, havent used live in almost a year cause of
    university and the first time I was back online was on a friends xbox before I went online on my xbox.

    Can't Use DLC Offline

    DLC not working when offline means the console license for the DLC is not bound to the console you're using.



    Go to the
    License Transfer page
    and start the transfer process. It will show you your console IDs and how many licenses each has bound to it. I suspect you're going to see more than one console ID, indicating that you purchased/downloaded DLC to a different console
    before the one you're currently using.



    To fix the problem, you'll have to perform a transfer to your current console.

    Also, if it makes a difference, it's The Pitt, Operation Anchorage, and Broken Steel that don't work. (My three favorites. DCan't use dlc and some games offline :)

    Hey there, N0rd!

    I'm sorry to see any licensing issues! For the Oblivion DLC, since that was tied to a disc and not digital copy of the DLC, you will not be able to access that content in-game. You would need another GOTY edition of Oblivion to play that, or purchase the
    digital versions of the DLC.

    For EndWar, this seems a bit more weird. Since you don't get online much, I'm going to try to give you all of the online troubleshooting I can. If you can, connect back online, and do a

    license transfer
    on your 360. If that doesn't work, I'm wondering if there might be something wrong with the hard drive or flash drive you're currently using. We'll want to rule out any flash drives, if possible, so move the game to the internal hard drive
    (if you have one). And let's go ahead and re-install the update on the console. You can do that by going to Settings > System > Storage and then do the button sequence LB RB X LB RB X. This should prompt you to remove the
    update, and then restart your console when you say yes. Let the update install, then try again.

    Let me know how it goes! We can see if there's more we can do from there, if necessary. I look forward to working with you! Can't use dlc and some games offline :)

    Is a dev/publisher allowed to make premium DLC unuseable offline?

    Source? Well, first off all, the DLC that came with the signature edition of the game is unusable offline right now. And it's not co-op/multi-player only DLC. Some of it is weaponry that you use in single player campaign as well. When I asked about this
    at the official forums, one of the Ubi representatives said this will likely be the case for the new premium DLC.

    The DLC that's coming out next week is valid for both online and offline co-op/multi-player, and also includes weapons that you can use in the single player campaign. And then there's the fact that the game supports offline system link multi-player. To use
    the DLC though you will still have to be logged into the Ubisoft server through the game even if you want to use it in an "offline" system link game.
