Most times, once a play has started with the dlc installed, you have to continue to have them all the way to the end of the play or the save will not load. Honestly, I would just ignore the beginning of each and leave them where they are until you are ready to start a new game.....and even then I may just leave it alone.
Uninstalling will to some extent depend on how you bought the game, ie steam, Origin, old bioware website back in the day....as it may try to auto-reinstall when you play again...
Thank you for your answer.
Probably the easiest to just ignore Shadow and Arrival in game🙂
Well, I started to get a lot of crashes after I somewhat left Shadow unfinished. I went back to an earlier save, where Liara already left for her apartment but started Arrival from there.
Went fine at first but somewhere along the end run, Arrival started to crash at loading screens, especially when my Shepard died. And she died a lot. I got the message that ME2 wouldn't respond anymore, shut down and I`d get a note when it would be ready again. These crashes kept me stuck on a black screen with the music still going in the back but without an other way to leave than alt+con+del, having me to log in into everything again. I finished Arrival after several of these crashes.
Until the game crashed yesterday again when I just flew the MiniNormandy across the galaxy map. Had a WTF moment there.
I went on and deleted all the dlcs from the folder and uninstalled and reinstalled ME2 through Origins again. And downloaded my other DLCs again from Origins except Shadow Broker and Arrival.
I hope that got rid of the crashing but since I haven`t hab problems before Shadow, it may as well did.
Funny thing, before you talk to the elusive man for the first time you can talk to Jacob and Miranda, only that Miranda was never there in the previous two game starts I did. Now she is.
Thank you very much again for your answer🙂

I doubt that "Arrival" was the real culprit here.
I doubt it as well 🙂
What could have been it?
I think files of the main game got corrupted.
If something like this happens again, try to repair the game.
