X360 Defense Grid freezing before press start screen

[jeffpobst]

There have been a few reports of recently people saying that while they used to be able to get in the game (though they'd have problem in the game), that something recently has happened and now they game freezes on start every time they launch and they can't even get in the game.

We haven't made any changes to the game, but the dash did change again, and if this is really happening to many people, perhaps this will be a clue for Microsoft. Can you echo if this is or isn't happening to you?

if it makes you feel any better, I HATE the new 360 dashboard... hate. it. it's not user friendly, it takes longer to do EVERYTHING... there are more adds everywhere, the internet speed is somehow being drained by just being idle on thee dashboard which didn't used to be the case...

I'd like to see all the issues resolved... too bad MS is being so difficult. I have been enjoying the PC version though, thanks for that

I haven't experienced this personally, although I have noticed that if I start a game and the portal narrator (the ladies voice) doesn't load (like she just doesn't talk) my game crashes at the end. This has happened several times. I know now if that's not there to quit and restart lol.

Does that happen if you wait longer on the press start screen before proceeding? I am curious if this is a "resource not yet loaded" issue or if it is something else for you. If all resources are loaded (including her voice files), you should have no visual text issues in the mission selection screen of You Monster.

Today i started the game and had it on the press start screen for at least 2mins and my game still froze (and again the portal voice wasn't talking). Also, I've never had text issues.

Interesting - You are running the game in English?

If so, try deleting the expansion game content only and redownloading it - I wonder if one of the pak files is corrupt from the download - this is not consistant with other issues we know about.
