Defense Grid is my favorite game ever from xbox live, but it is also the only game ever that freezes and locks up on me. It is really, really, really annoying when you are wave 93 in grinder and the game locks up.

Yeah same here, I have all the DLC and since You Monster came out this game is not enjoyable. At this point I've given up on a fix. Hidden Path says it's a Microsoft problem and Microsoft says It's a Hidden Path problem, I just want to be able to play one of my favorite games.
I hear ya....game is so good....very frustrating that you can't always play every mode on every map.Originally Posted by teqniq
Unfortunately on grinder modes on the Xbox 360 it is possible for you to run out of memory based on which towers you use. On any level that it happened often during testing, we pulled that level from the Xbox 360 version. Every level that shipped though, had been completed multiple times by the test team without crashing. Unfortunately it sounds like the types of towers you build and the effects from them overwehelm the Xbox 360 memory (too many meteor towers?). We could have pulled that level from the game, or you can try to beat it with a slightly different tower set, but we couldn't include more memory on the console with the game sadly.
The lockups from the achievement and in loading don't have to do with running out of memory, that's the scenario where the back-end info is corrupt and the new dash gives the game incorrect info about it's loading time, but the grinder running out of memory at the end is something we could only address by removing the level and we tried to leave in all the levels we thought could be solved without crashing a large majority of the time.
As always, if you'd prefer a PC version of the game, just email us at info <at> hiddenpath <dot> com.
Ok, that makes sense. I never thought about the xbox running out of memory.
Is the game only for PC? Is there a MAC version? I have both, just wondering.
We have made the original Defense Grid for PC & Xbox 360. Another company, VPL made it for Mac. They took a long time and did an "ok" job, but it didn't support updates, DLC, and they didn't want to bring it to Steam. So we haven't really been a part of the past Mac project.
Going forward our new engine for DG2 supports PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox 360, PS3, iOS and Android, so in the future it is much more about financing, budgets and time about what platforms we can bring the game to than it is technological concerns or partner concerns. We'll do everything in-house going forward with respect to platforms - we got some great experience recently shipping Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on X360, PS3, Mac, and PC, with Linux servers too. Also from a touch UI perspective, we've already developed that for the original Defense Grid, and the PC Steam copy of the game now supports touch input on Windows, and according to many, it's an excellent interface, so we're very happy about that.
That is great news. I can't wait for DG2.
This case happens with me as well. It gets locked up because Microsoft encounters with a problem and error occurs in between and poses. Sometimes virus attack files of games and does not let you play. discover here
