Repeating & Frustrating Update Requirement
I don’t get this. I just finished ME-1 Legendary Edition on Xbox One X, and was eager to start ME-2.
However, on the main launch menu for ME2, instead of New or Continue game, it said Install. I was confused since I thought all three games downloaded together. I thought maybe it was an update, but 33GB seemed awfully large.
Then I saw it listed in the XB1-X download queue as Update. So I thought fine: “update.” It took several hours to download.
After which, the ME-2 button in the main launch screen still said “Install.” With no way to start the game.
I hoped that when I clicked on the ME-2 start button, my console would recognize that the update had already been downloaded and installed. Not so: it’s downloading the whole 33GB update again.
What in the Sam Hill is going on? In several hours, once it’s done, will the same thing happen? What am I supposed to do?
I read online that there was a fairly small patch some months ago, but nothing like this. Wasn’t all the hames and updates supposed to download at the same time, as a single bundle?
Please tell me I didn’t waste $60 for something I can’t play. And please tell me I won’t have to uninstall and then reinstall the whole thing—especially after just wasting six hours downloading the same update.
Any help / info is much appreciated.
The Installer initially loads ME1.
Then ME2 and ME3 may be installed from within the launcher.
Off the top of my head, ME1 is around 22GB
ME2 and 3 are each over 30GB.
You can install and uninstall each game independently.
The game shouldn't be doing what yours is doing. The obvious (but perhaps not welcomed) answer is to re-install from scratch.
