mass effect 3 gets stuck at checking for downloadable content screen

I have the Xbox 360 version and this just started happening to me about a week ago.  After a lot of trial and error, I discovered that only deleting the Retaliation Multiplayer DLC pack allows me to play the game.  Of course, that means I have to play multiplayer without all of the Retaliation features, which means this is not a real fix.

Bioware, you're still selling new copies of ME3 and this bug is unacceptable.  Please fix ASAP.

This worked for me! thanks!

I've got the same issue on PS3. I got mass effect 3 from Mass Effect Trilogy I bought online but i can only play it if I turn off my internet. If the internet is on the game check DLC, then check save data and go back to checking DLC and get stuck on it and don't let me start playing. 

This is happening to me too!

I just got the PC version but when I found out all that progress recorded on N7HQ isnt transferable from XBOX just went back to my xbox copy but now cant get past 'checking for downloaded content' screen. I have tried all the solutions mentioned on the thread bar deleting the DLC packs. Any other solutions?

a fix I found if it says press Y on xbox one press it make sure you've accepted the online agreement again then restart and it should work

i have the same problem on my xbox one x

i fixed my problem i had to turn on mass effect 3 on line  feature
