Xbox 360 GTA locking up on me!
polycounter lvl 18
I know that many gta owners out there had their share of technical difficulties and I had thought I was not one of them. Never had a problem until yesterday, around the 10 or 15 hr or so mark in the game probably when shortly after leaving my safe house the game completely crashed, froze the screen and locked up all controls on my xbox. Now the game crashes every time I play as soon as it cuts from the intro image sequence to Niko in the apartment.
I've never had a red ring. My other games work perfectly. What's going on? I'm hesitant to mail take 2 just yet and get the expected 'we're aware of the problem and looking into it.'
Someone told me I had best erase my save and restart but I think if I have to do that I'll just as soon quit the game.

After I registered my game on the rockstar social club site it seemed to go away.

Of course, now a few weeks later it's freezing on every game after a few seconds. I think that's just my 360 about to die though.
Yeah, I don't claim to know the specifics. But the game is always checking your stats and (I guess) sending and receiving data from a server. I'm assuming that's why playing with out being connected to the interwebs worked for some people.
That never worked for me however. But, the first time I tried playing after registering on the social club website it worked perfectly. This was after about a week and a half of it crashing consistently after a minute or two. I guess it's possible it was a huge coincidence though.
