faraway. Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 "Ooh. This could be a problem. Much anticipated videogame Dead Rising has finally hit the Xbox 360, and it seems to kill some of them. How widespread this problem is has yet to be determined but the reports of lockups, freezes and crashes are flowing in all over the internets. Microsoft's official response is upcoming. As for the solution if your machine locks after inserting Dead Rising... you're not gonna like it. Our own Blair Butler's 360 crashed after she installed Dead Rising, and, after a couple hours on the phone with tech support, she was told to send her Xbox back to Microsoft for repairs. "I just want to kill zombies. Is that so much to ask?" Butler told TheFeed More as it develops." Source *Darn it, I messed up the title. Could a mod please change the title from "killings" to "killing" please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is definitely not good news if true. :no: Going to pay close attention and see how this develops...

As this is the only way I can think of the Xbox 360 being modified. That or some homebrew program that is messing up settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to say sorry, I believe you it was there, it is just with a story like this it is nice to have a Source. We will give it a little while and see if it comes back and/or pops up on another website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you had to install games on the Xbox 360. :rolleyes: (Besides the crappy FF port, of course) :angry: Something tells me this is just some BS falmebait... but who knows, my 360 still locks up when playing the Full Auto demo. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PabUK Veteran Posted August 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2006 This seems to happen a lot. Someone (or some people) will have their 360 break while playing a new game or demo, and they assume that it must be because of the new game/demo, so that's what they tell everyone. While 360s do seem to be rather more prone to dying than they should be, I don't think it can ever be blamed on one particular game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blachole Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have had one lockup during loading and a "Disc Read Error" during gameplay which kicked me back to dashboard without saving my game :angry: , but it seems to be running fine now. I have heard about a lot of issues. They are suppose to be releasing a patch soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
