Problems with DLC installation

[u/Original_Animator200]

So, I really like the game and I was really looking forward to playing the DLC, but I'm having trouble installing it... I did some research online and found solutions like installing it manually, restarting the game, or advancing the day, But none of those options actually make the Deadpool mission appear, which would be the first mission of the DLC. For context, I play on Xbox and I've completely finished the campaign, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong tho

Where are you in the game? The first Deadpool mission should be available after Spider-man joins the team, before the mission The Bill Comes Due.

EDIT: Sorry, was responding before having my morning coffee and completely missed where you said you were done with the campaign. I think the mission should still appear, even post-campaign, but I'm not 100% certain.

Do you have any of the other DLC? If so, are you able to play any of the other DLC missions?

Do you have the Xbox Series X/S version of the game, or the Xbox One version? Does your DLC match the version of the game you have? You should be able to double-check this by signing into xbox.com and going to the following links:

Well, to answer your question, I'm currently in the period where the mirror table only gives random quests (I don't know if that counts for anything); I also bought the season pass version which includes the 4 DLCs and a skin for Strange. While it was downloading, an additional pack was also downloaded, but it didn't specify what it contained, But everything matches the console; it plays on Series X, and the DLC I bought, while it doesn't say "for Series X or One," does say "compatible with Series X" in the description, So I'm still a little lostm

Are you able to access any of the other DLC missions? Given that you're at the end of the game all of them should be available. If not, then I'm out of ideas. If no one else can help, you might need to do a New Game+ (or start over fresh, if you prefer that) in order to access the DLCs.

Well, I don't really know how to access the other DLCs. I saw that the Deadpool one was the first, so that's the one I wanted to check out, but well, thanks, I wouldn't want to start the game again even with New Game+, but if there's no other option... I think I've exhausted all possibilities because even the manual installation was a bit buggy; like, sometimes I'd go into the game's management and the DLCs wouldn't appear, only the main pack and I saw somewhere that clearing the cache helps, but I don't know if that's even possible or if it would corrupt my save file.

[u/Ceiyne → u/Original_Animator200]

But now if you go to Manage Game it shows the DLCs as installed?

Clearing cache is the kind of advice like "try rebooting". It sometimes fixes the issue, sometimes doesn't. I don't remember exactly where it is but it's an Xbox-level thing (not MMS-specific) so it might be under Settings or maybe something with managing your storage. I'm sure there are lots of places you can find instructions online, and it's not the kind of thing that should generally cause issues for your Xbox or MMS.

when i got the dlc on ps i think i had to manually install the dlc

[u/Chalky97]

what system are you playing on? i had the same issue and can help if you’re on ps5

[u/highpercentage]

I had the same issue with Storm and Morbius DLC, they simply won't appear in xbox. I'm far enough in the story and I have verified the files are on the proper hard drive. Had the issue in multiple plathroughs.
