360 Freezing after todays update?

Picked Fable2 up at midnight last night and played for 5 hours without any problems.

Today it said i needed to update, so let it update, jump into the game, 5 seconds later it freezes.

Hmmmm, i think, restart system, start game, take a few steps and FREEZE /sigh

Try again, restart, stand still, a town crier yells "Its 10:00 an........" freeze again.

No "Disk is dirty/damaged message" no RROD , just freezes up

anyone else having problems with it?


Edit: No previous problems with my system and other games are working just fine (except for dead rising, always get the "Disk dirty errors with that game and have since i got it).

Edit: Tried clearing the HDD cache so the update would be re-downloaded and still freezing.

Re: 360 Freezing after todays update?

You've experienced similar problems before with your 360? Had the red ring of death 8 months ago. Got it repaired (lucky just within warant). Got it back, all fine untill GTAIV was released. Played that for 8 hours (on& off) and got freezes aswell without the red ring. That last thing turned out to be my HD which got replaced. Still strange this occured after an update :/

Heres what I do. I don't patch. Disconnect from internet. LOL. Microsoft can't **** me in the ass! It's worked for 2 years and going strong.

I believe the saying is:
"Don't START nothin', won't BE nothin'."

Updates can sometimes cause some crash issues, they will probably receive word of it if it was the update that did it and fix it. Not very common for updates to cause many issues.

Re: 360 Freezing after todays update?

I have an xbox 360 less than 3 weeks old. This freeze also happened to me. I downloaded the update also, thinking it was for the live and to fix most of the bugs. I started a new game and 20 seconds into the first cut scene it froze. i reset it and it froze at the same exact spot.

i swapped the game for another one in the store, brught it home and it still froze in the same damned spot. i finally got around it by skipping the cut scene and moving on. But it has frozen several other times during gameplay too.

i hate updates, they never work

i have to save after evey 5 mins or a major event.

just reset the cache >_>

Re: 360 Freezing after todays update?

yes resetting cache uninstalls updates, so if its the update causing the crash do that and then disconnect the internet before playing game or say no to update prompt.

Yeah, my 360 froze a couple times last night when I was playing it and so did my friends. But it's been running fine since.

I am having the exact same problem with my game. I sent in a long email to the company and linked to this site to view more info on the problem. Lets see what happens.

Same problem here, and i'm kind of relieved to see some of you having the same problem. there is something else going on with me that i dont know if you left out or not but after the "necessary" update the xbox did its automatic reset and right then my problems started. on the opening screen where the xbox logo appears it froze. I restarted, game started i got to the first menu and then froze again. same thing happened a few times over. that really didnt concern me. what really bothered me was that the xbox itself seemed to be affected. I went to the arcade to play around and a few minutes into Dig Dug it froze. same thing has happened a few times when playing around on the dashboard. so if you havent tried, play around on the dashboard for 10-15 minutes and see if the same happens to you. i really hope something is done about this. because the first 10 minutes i played it looked like it will be a good game

Re: 360 Freezing after todays update?

I initially didnt do the update after reading the horror stories but then fable II didnt display on my played games and my achievements werent been recorded online so I did the update, after it I have had 1 freeze so far.

Re: 360 Freezing after todays update?

I have experience similar problems, but only once. It might just be your xbox...

 

[Chrysalis]

Re: 360 Freezing after todays update?

IRifle maybe, but the official bug forum on the official site has so many freeze complaints I think its fair to say its a good chance of been the game.

If it is my xbox I am not best pleased either considering its barely a month old.

I would call xbox and yell at them if it's new. I can't believe that happened to you. My updates seem to work perfectly so far. I loose an item every now and then, but other than that everything works great.
