make sure you have both dlc packages, not just one.

if you do, play a few games making sure all the content works.  but if you have both dlc packages working, and can't join games, then i'm stumped.

and unfortunately it does verify everytime you boot up.  not much we can do about that.

hey guys, i went to paris-videos.net and downloaded from the link for both packs.
i had already had previous troubles getting the first pack goin when i downloaded it seperatley from a different source. any way i followed the instructions and it didnt work so i then copied the bigger default.xbe from $u i think it was to the game directory and deleted it from where it was, loaded the game and to my surprise it said pack 2 was corrupt, i realised emediatley that pack 1 must be working woo hoo !!!... so i deleted pack 2 reloaded game and it was fine so i tried re-installing pack 2 after deleting game saves formatting xyz rebooting and everything thats been suggested around the forums accept hex editing the .xbe but im about to try that now, but as far as i know the first pack is working so i shouldnt neep to patch the .xbe right? i cant understand wat is wrong i have the first one going and i even tried joing kai and the game said i need to download pack 2 instead of it normaly saying i need to download pack 1 & 2... wat can i do???

your right, if pack 1 is working, the then xbe has already been patched.

something must be wrong with pack 2 itself.  you'll probably have to replace it.

dont edit anything in the packs themselves, it will corrupt them (not saying you did, thats just a helpful).

[mrjkwik]

yeah, annoying isnt it.  but it is supposed to say that.

[mrjkwik]

as far as where to get it, of course the right answer is "live".

but since that isnt what people are doing that dont have live, you'll probably have to look on torrents.  of heard of a few, but we're not aloud to post them.

as far as getting it to work, just read this whole thread.  there are 3 dlc packs all together plus one "update" that includes the default.xbe that you'll need (i think some torrent releases come with it already patched).  follow all that,you should be good to go.

I think I have a problem as well.  Here is what I did.

1) downloaded GR2update.rar
2) unrar'd file
3) Copied $u folder into e:\tdata\55530005
4) Copied $c folder into e:\tdata\55530005
5) Deleted cache drives X, Y and Z
6) Copied updated default.xbe to f:\games\ghost recon 2  (yes the version I have already has the "c0 f3 a7 74 04 6a 05 eb af" edited to "c0 f3 a7 eb 04 6a 05 eb af"
7) Rebooted Xbox
started GR2
9) Says 'verifying downloaded content packages'
10) I go into 'system link' and join a game
11) It says "The server has 2 downloaded content packages that you do not have yet.  You will at least need to download packages 2 and 3.

What step(d) did I miss?

How do I get these 2 packages to 'install'?

sounds like you have an older package that only has the first dlc pack.  make sure that you had 3 folders to install in $c.  if its reading the first pack and not telling you something is damaged, sounds like your just missing some of the dlc packages.

[dstmo]

Yeah, I believe that $c only has one other folder within it.  I am not in front of my PC right now, but I think it is only one.  The problem is that the other torrent I found this file on has the same file size as the one I downloaded previously, so I am assuming that it is the same file.

Is this what is wrong?  If so, I guess I will just keep looking for the correct file.
