Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 it just happened 2 hours ago so all the game shops are shut, and as far as i am aware, all freaking sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qw33ts Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 my 360 started doing that in a game before then started doing it on the dashboard as well, then my 360 red ringed... Be prepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gog Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 That sucks. I would exchange it & see if it fixes the problem. It may be a problem with the Xbox though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derty Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Turn it off, send it to microsoft. It is about to brick. More and more of this is popping up all over the net... We all said in #myriad that it can't handle IV. Looks like we were right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 it better bloody not brick man, ill be so freaking annoyed if it does, ive got a ps3, might just exchange it for that by the looks of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 To be honest it looks like the GPU is fried. Please test other software before returning the game. And if it's been doing that for two hours have you considered shutting the system off for a while. I mean if your GPU is getting hot then leaving it on is doing it no favors.

inveni0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 My PS3 did that in the lower right corner yesterday (on GTA4). I quit the game and it was gone (so it didn't affect the XMB). Haven't seen it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derty Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I highly recommend that since you have a PS3, you should play this game on that. DLC is a joke and was compensation. So is the whole "which one will your friends be playing?" There are enough "360 only" users sold on this game already to solidify Rockstar's and Microsoft's returns and profits; if you already have the Charger, don't drive the Pinto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StyluZ Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 my 360 started doing that in a game before then started doing it on the dashboard as well, then my 360 red ringed... Be prepared yeh this also happened to me with my first 360. the line across the middle of a game then it got RROD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) im just testing the 360 with another game now, everything looks fine to be honest, sounds like its game specific problem anyways cos its happening on ps3's as well. edit: 360 drive is going crazy and not loading games, rrod on the way, i am going to kill myself.

derty Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's only game specific because this game is doing more than the 360 was ever subject to before lol. It's NOT a IV problem at the end of the day - it is a deficient hardware problem. It's not happening on PS3 (yet, that I know of, proof?), but the PS3 does have it's own set of problems, namely in the 60gB launch consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 brilliant, so ive got a gta4 on the 360 which is buggered, and a 60gb ps3. what probs they having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 ......and there goes the 360, not a red ring of death, but lower right quarter of death. damn you world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unisom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 My condolesences. My lauch one died a similar way. Was playing Gears of War and got ugly blocks on the screen. Dead within two minutes. I didnt even have time to say goodbye. Now I'm on an Elite 360 and so far so good. It's Microsoft's fault for making bad heat cooling system in the early ones.

Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 not all is lost, do have a ps3, but its the 60gb launch version which is seemingly having lots of problems with gta. damn early adopters! why must we be punished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAUGH_INSURANCE Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 This is what my game has been doing for the last 2 hours! ITS DRIVING ME INSANE!!! is anyone else having the same problem and maybe found a fix? i know a few ps3 owners are having the same problem but no other 360 owner is. I never had that. Try through another TV, if it's the same, try another game encase the laser in your console has gone wrong. If not that then you must have a faulty copy of the game. I experienced something odd but totally different. After I passed Bull In A China Shop, when I activated the next mission, after the video clip the next part of the game failed to load and I had to re-boot my XBox 360. I had the word "loading" at the bottom right-hand side of my screen for over a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exopolitics Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 doesnt matter now buddy, the 360 died on me, apparntly GTA4 wasnt meant to be played on the 360, so its getting taken back to 2moro and exchanged for the ps3 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
