In dead space 2 i finished the first disk and always get prompted to insert disk 2 though once i do nothing happens. I thought maybe it was my copy so i returned it and for another but the problem remained, with other games like mass effect 3 i have no problem with swapping disks, just with every copy of dead space 2 ive tried. Is there anything i can do? ive already gone through customer service with microsoft too to verify its not my console they recommened me to you guys. Any and all help is appreciated

You might want to try to install the whole game onto the xbox 360 hard-drive.

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.

How long are you waiting?
I've only tried to play this year, but I believe this issue started near 2013...

I had the same problem and figured it was my xbox or something. If you have the first gen 360, have it so the disk tray is vertical, then play the game till you get to the prompt. Eject the disk, then close the tray with disk one still in. You'll get a 360 prompt moments later to put disk two in. Eject the tray then swap disks. Close the prompt, then close the tray. This worked for me but I don't know if it'll work for everyone because I don't have the 360 Elite. Let me know if this works.

Since I waited more than I should... I got rid of it. I don't have the game anymore, but my console was not first generation.
I was truly deceived by EA support, saying it was being analyzed and I should receive an answer shortly... shortly = several months!?
Since I had Dead Space 3 to play as well (I wouldn't have bought it if I knew this would happen to Dead Space 2), I've decided to watch some youtube films about Dead Space 2... since I wasn't able to finish it because of that issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I have the Xbox 360 E console.
My console includes an E-rainbow 500GB drive. Though it's not the OEM Xbox drive, this has functioned without issues on all other games.

I have solved the problem. And I made an account to tell you how. Simply eject disc one without going to the home page, and then put in disc two when it prompts you to do so. And the game will continue.

If you still use this site, I figured the problem out after searching a few sites.
