Anyway are you signed into your EA/Bioware account when playing?

not that i`m aware of, it doesnt ask me to sign into anything

Actually the game should be asking you to connect to the Cerberus Network. That's where you find out about updates and new DLC.



Er never mind. If your game didn't come with a Cerberus code or you chose not to purchase one, then you wouldn't have it.

ahhhhh, it did come with a cerberus code, but when i try to connect it says "the connection timed out or was interrupted, try again later"

Unfortunately I don't have an answer right now. Maybe later.

no worries, appreciate any help at any time

Check this for your connection problem - Choose Language | BioWare Social Network

Also make sure you have the latest patch - Choose Language | BioWare Social Network

already patched up to the latest, have tried the dedicate internet option with no luck......not compitent enough to fiddle with me firewall, dont get me wrong i know my way around a pc but dont wanna fiddle

Well I don't have any other suggestions for your cerberus connection. As for the keyboard issues, that's a new one and I have no clue there either. Sorry.

Interesting, got a respomse from EA "Unfortunately the game is not tested on Windows 7 or 64 bit environment"

That's the standard BS "we don't have a clue so we'll blame Microsoft" answer.

I guarantee they won't make that a public statement because they don't want to lose sales. I'll also bet you that if you called them and made the statement that you was thinking about getting the game but wasn't sure it would work on Windows 7, they would tell you its fine and that lots of people are playing the game on 7.

In short, they're being lazy about troubleshooting the game issue. And whoever told you the game didn't support Windows 7 should learn to read the system specs:
