what if mine works without hardrive? how do i fix that?

  • 09.26.2009 6:44 AM PDT

Spartans never die, they are just missing in action.

this whole thread is full of us who have the problem. Mine works every few hours or so. I play...then play and save on and off so i dont lose my progress. When i get the error take a couple hour break then it works again. Its very weird.

I just contacted my friend who doesn't have xbox live. He hasn't reported any problems with his ODST or Halo 3 disc. It has to be connected to an update, which is why people can play the game without a hard drive. No hard drive, no data of an update

what about those of us who can not play without hdd? im not so sure its just an update.

  • 09.26.2009 7:05 AM PDT

I just got the game, and it wouldn't load the first level, after the drop cut scene. I installed the game, and I made it past the first level, but got a DRE after the second flashback mission. I don't even understand how a DRE is possible when the game is installed.

Confusing Cause and Effect
Hasty Generalization

Your conclusion may be correct but your logic of not.

Not everyone on Xbox Live getting regular updates is having the problem. Your sample of someone not getting updates is very small. We do not know if this is true for everyone who is not connected.

It could turn out that if your friend applied all the updated their 360 may work just fine.

Also, I think Microsoft packages updates on game disks, so for folks who are not connected their firmware will be updated when the play a new game...

Most people, and me, have gotten the message before that Tuesday update. If that is the update you are talking about.

  • 09.26.2009 7:41 AM PDT

Get pooped on

im getting this game in about two weeks. I'm a bit scared to not be able to play the game, since ive been a halo fan since the first one came out. I wish Bungie would at least say something about this, such as over Xbox live, where i can be reassured that something is being done. please, bungie, help your loyal gamers!

Go back to page 9, 40, or 41. You'll see the Bungie responses. But especially go to Page 9, PM the bungie employee there, and answer his three questions.

Hey. Don't know if this is important. Was sitting on the main menu. I had a download going for Call of Duty: WaW and it finished and it told me to choose a save device, I can only presume that the save device was for ODST, has anyone else encountered this? Is their a communication problem between the disc and HDD?

I removed the HDD and it works fine now!

I applied the NXE update to my memory card so in theory I have all the firmware and NXE updates on the system.

Have gone through two cut scenes with no problem.

I still get the DRE with my HDD off. So I don't know what's going on. :(

  • 09.26.2009 8:15 AM PDT

How is it that removing the hard drive is, so far, the most proven way to fix this problem? Is it faulty hardware? I still believe it has something to do with firmware updates on Xbox Live, in most cases anyways.

I have a launch console and it has frozen every time at various points of loading the drop shock pod while starting the 1st level. It was doing this before and after the firmware update. This morning my internet was down and I signed in locally to my xbox live account but not to MS xbox live servers. I was able to get passed the loading of the drop shock pod and I was able to play to the first helmet, then it froze up.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if bungie has taken the initiative on this issue?

  • 09.26.2009 8:42 AM PDT

Spartans never die, they are just missing in action.

yes...they have look at pages 9,40,41. Mostly look at page 9, and answere his three questions in a private message

alright nothing really new to report. Just figured id give it a shot with no hard drive. It ran perfectly smooth up until the tv with the helmet in it again. It seems if i can get past the first error of loading up the game this is as far as i can get it

  • 09.26.2009 9:15 AM PDT

I just Lurk in the forums and respond when I need to.

Try and hold the controller sync button while you boot up the console and continue to hold it until the dashboard pops up. This will clear any faulty firmware update. Just a thought.

  • 09.26.2009 9:59 AM PDT

Are you positive on that? It will take me back to the first original dashboard? If so clarify a little on how to do it. Thanks.
