    Dropping this here for others. I’ve added it to a few other threads too :

     
    I figured this out...... finally. It's not simple.

    So..... to install the ME 2 & 3 from the discs you have to:
    1. Make sure you have auto-updates turned off (under settings)
    2. First install the game from the GAME DISC (ignore install disc)
    3. You will then have to go online to validate the install (WTF EA) before you can do anything
    4. You'll still get asked to download the Day 1 update - DECLINE THIS INSTALL
    5. Set your Xbox to offline under network settings
    6. Load the game
    7. From the menu, select install for Mass Effect 2.... it will install and eventually ask for Installation Disc


    See.... simple.....

    I hope this helps someone like me. If you have data caps it's best to avoid large downloads, where possible

I am trying to install ME2 & 3 from the installation disc on my XBSX.  I cannot get it to install.  When I load the game, the "Install Game" does nothing when I'm offline.  If I put in the installation disc, it tells me to put in the play disc and loads the game.

I'm extremely unhappy that the games I bought aren't on the disc.


Not only can you not install ME 2 & 3 from the disc, but you have to actually "go online" to verify your installation of the first game.  This is pathetic.

Damn, can't speak for Series X just Xbone X. It's as simple as "Go Offline" on that System, you still actually have to boot into the game and select Install for ME2 and ME3 and then be Prompted to put the Second Disc in when needed... As I said, PlayStation is just so much more simple, they don't even include instructions on how to use/Install 2 Disc Games on Xbox which I find absolutely ridiculous 😒

      So I am trying (and have been for hours) to install ME2 on my Xbox One and it keeps getting stuck at 82% (digital copy). Any tips you can share to help cause I am getting to the point where I am done with this.

      Thanks!
