well I am too having the same issue with dead space 2 disk 2 and I also exchanged it had it professionally cleaned installed both disks deleted all dead space data playing offline and the list goes on any other suggestions?
I have this issue and already tried with game installed (as well as not installed), and also offline.
My xbox is working properly and I've never had problems disc swaping with other games (e.g. Mass Effect 2).
It's not related to second disc specifically:
- I've started the game (not installed) with 2nd disc and load my save game (that requires disc 1)
- I receive the message "insert disc 1", but the same problem happens after swapping the proper disc ☹️
- It keeps waiting and nothing happens.
Same thing happening here. Ive installed both discs, uninstalled both discs and reinstalled both discs and still nothing. I had planned to do a complete run through of all three games in one night. This killed my fun man.
After going through several other tests with EA support (I've even tested the game without updates and even on a 1st generation xbox360)... they still have to escalate the issue... no solution yet.
During these tests there is one test I've made which clearly states that this is not related to each person discs or specifically to disc 2... nor even related to their save games (being corrupted for instance).
1. Start game with disc 2 (game not installed)
2. It asks for an update. Download it if not done already (if you put disc 1 it also asks for an update even if you have done it already with disc 2 or vice versa)
3. Then start New Game (don't try to load any save game)
4. As expected it asks for Disc 1, but the same issue here. It doesn't recognize it ☹️
My personal guess, is that we'll need a new patch because there might be some conflict with the API used within the game to check discs.
It certainly worked before, for people playing the game probably before 2013. According these posts dates, after some xbox software updates (dashboard, system, etc.), it no longer detects the same way as before... or so it seems ☹️
I'll still have my support case being analysed from specialists, and I'll post here its updates.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. Hopefully they will release a patch for this.
I know dude, I been waiting soooo darn long to resolve my issue that I lost interest.....and money ☹️
How long are you waiting?
I've only tried to play this year, but I believe this issue started near 2013...
