If you do not get keys, then there is no way to purchase DLC for the game without re-purchasing the game on Origin. You have no way of knowing if you'll actually get keys or not. None of these steps have worked for me, though all of my game keys for both ME1 and ME2 are completely gone (I activated them on Origin years ago, so don't worry about me).Īt this time, I don't recommend anyone purchase Mass Effect 2 on Steam. For both, this guide should still be relevant. Some people can access their Game Key by using the MassEffect2Config.exe method I described above. Some people can still access their game keys from within Steam. Not everyone has this problem with their keys. Mistakes here could seriously mess up the Windows operating system. WARNING: DO NOT EDIT THE WINDOWS REGISTRY unless you know what you are doing.
#Cd key for mass effect 2 dlc pack software
The only mention I could find of a CD key even existing was in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > WOW6432Node > Electronic Arts > EA Games > Mass Effect 2 > ergc, and that entry simply had a value of %CDKEY%, no actual key or other useful data.
I wasn't able to find any CD key for ME2 in the registry. It has been suggested to me that it is possible to view the CD key in the Windows registry. (This didn't work for me - all the fields were blank - but it has worked for others.) You may not see the Promo key or the Cerberus key, but since buying the DLC bundle on Origin gets you everything anyway (including the pre-order DLC), this isn't a major concern imo. Your Digital Deluxe Game Key should be displayed to the right. From the menu on the left, select the entry labeled 'Game'. Open the Binaries folder, and double-click MassEffect2Config.exe. One possible way to view your game key is to right-click the game title, choose Manage, then click Browse Local Files. This affects Mass Effect 1 and 2 and other games as well. EA deleted a large number of game keys from Steam due to an exploit of the EA Play subscription service. Edit, February 2021: There has been some confusion about where your Mass Effect 2 Steam keys are located.
