Reads disk 2 incorrectly

[Krackerjax]

-Buy Black Ops 2
-Put in disk 1, installation going swimmingly
-Asks for disk 2, so i comply
-It is read as a disk for Mass Effect 2
-Cant install game

What on Earth is going on?

See what's actually on the disc, if it's really ME2... Well, somebody screwed the pooch.

[JereDude]

you stole this from /v/ or are you the op of that thread

Nope, he's right. The same thing happened to me and i just checked the files. The 7gig file is listed as ME2_RTP and the other 2 are autorun and autorun. But you know, i'm not all surprised this happenened. So either someone put the wrong file on there or they named it wrong, who knows.

I guess i'll just have to wait for it to finish downloading.

If they gave you an ME2 disc, go get your money back. That's just sloppy (read: ♥♥♥♥ed up) as all hell.

Can't, game stop won't accept returns for pc games since its tied to your steam account. All i can do is hope treyarch gets off their duffs and fixes this major error. So far. they haven't even acknowledged the problem.

If you've linked the game to your steam account, I'm pretty sure you should be able to download the missing files from disk 2 via steam. Means you gotta download it, but eh, better than not playing I guess.

You have to download the entire game because you have to cancel the installation,

Does anybody know how I would go about installing Disk 1 then having Steam download the rest of Disc 2? Is this even possible?

It is, because I just did it. Just get to the "disk 2" message, cancel it, and then go to Steam and "resume" the download. Easy Peasy.

Won't work, once you hit cancel, it deletes the entire install and greys out the game in the menu. Tried it twice last night.

The only i can see it working is if you leave the disk 2 message up there, then bring up the downloads que. Use the spacebar to hit ok, then quickly hit resume for whichever part you're trying to do. I didn't want wait 3 hours for it download, but it was working before i quit it.

If you got it retail, just bring it back to the store, they'll give you a new copy if you have the receipt, but i'd have proof of what's on disk 2 though also, like a screen cap or something.

That sucks . At the very least you can still download it from Steam. Maybe Gamestop will exchange the discs?

[Omega_Scythe]

I am also currently experiencing this problem, and have no idea what to do about it. If this is a case of someone putting the wrong data on the disk, Activision is in for a ♥♥♥♥storm of epic proportions.

I smell a lawsuit from EA coming. Time to make some popcorn .
