The bad news is that some gamers who bought the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition couldn’t get the Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle download code to work. The good news? Epic Games has already gotten on the job and released a workaround. Check the full article for details.
Okay, so apparently, some gamers who bought the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition couldn’t get the Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle download code to work. Well, Epic Games has already gotten on the job and released the following workaround:
- Launch the Xbox Dashboard
- Sign into your Profile
- Go to the Marketplace blade
- Select “Account Management”
- Select “Download History”
- Under the “Games” section, select “Gears of War 2 Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle”
- When the blade appears, select “Download Again”
- Wait until the “download complete” confirmation toast appears
The process is a bit different for those who are already on the New Xbox Experience:
- Launch the Xbox 360 Dashboard
- Sign into a Profile
- Go to the My Xbox channel
- Select your profile (second selection) and press A
- Select “Account Management”
- Select “Download History”
- Under the “Games” section, select “Gears of War 2 Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle”
- When the blade appears, select “Download Again”
- Wait until the “download complete” confirmation toast appears
If you’re still getting errors, wait a few minutes before you try again. Epic Games forum admin Flak also recommends deleting the original Golden Lancer download and THEN re-downloading it. Says Flak, “As long as you entered the code and initiated the original download, deleting this won’t cause any re-download issues.”
