    You installed a digital copy of ME2, meaning you downloaded the game and did not installed from Disc, is that correct? 

    Try to repair the game.

    (Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)
    (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
    (Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

I'm glad I came across this thread. I have Andromeda on PC disk. Bought it years ago. Installed several times (last time 2 years ago), but uninstalled as there was no controller support at that time.

I here from another thread that Andromeda PC now does have Xbone controller support, so I'll reinstall from the disk. I guess it will register to EA app, if not I'll add it manually, as it will need to be updated. Then I'll repair just in case.

Sound the best way?

Thanks.

If you have already installed the game, it should already be in your EA app library.

(If you are logged in with the same EA account you used 2 years ago, and you will need to use that account as you will not be able to install the game on a different account).

So if you have a decent internet connection you can download a digital copy right away.

If not reinstalling from disk and then repairing the installation should work as well.

    Great, thanks for the clarity.

    Haven't got round to it yet, but I will do. Cheers!
