(often referred to in forums as "v1.0.0.1" or "Update 1.0.0.1") is a crucial, albeit older, official patch for Dead Space 3 . While specific patch notes from the time are scarce, it is widely confirmed by the community that having the latest game patch is an absolute requirement to access the "Awakened" DLC . Without this specific update applied to the base game, the "Play Downloadable Content" option will remain locked and unselectable in the main menu. Therefore, any functional repack of Dead Space 3 that includes the "Awakened" DLC must also incorporate this "Update 1001" to work correctly.
If you have the repack installed but cannot access the DLC, it is often a file placement issue. Ensure the "dlc" folder is located within the main game directory. Users have noted that moving the DLC files into the correct install path—often ...\Dead Space 3\dlc —can resolve visibility issues in the solo campaign menu. dead space 3 awakened dlc update 1001 fitgirl repack new
