Game freezes with sound stutter, then closes/crashes

Hi,

Like in FM2 (where it’s a bit of a plague), I’ve seen FM6 freeze up, repeating short snippets of a sampled/generated sound for about 20 seconds, then getting closed/crashed by the XBox OS. Do you get crash logs to look into fixing that sort of thing? I’m sure I’m not the only one who experiences it. It’s one of the most irritating bugs to me. Apart from getting disconnected from online games and the lag issues in online play.

Happens every time I try to import a tune from FH2 or F5

Yep getting this issue too. Very intermittent and can happen pretty much anytime. So far had it in menus, tuning, at the end of races (GRRRR).

Yeap, this has happened to me once… had difficulty exiting the game back to dashboard where the frozen sound could still be heard… until it did quit and I proceeded to relaunch the game.

Out of close to 100 game launches, I think this has happened to me once.

Fellas,

It’s always good practice to completely shut down your console after every gaming session:

  • Make sure Energy Saving is on
  • When exiting games and apps, always press Start and select ‘Quit’
  • Clear Persistent Storage every few sessions, or even after the end of each session; clearing it between once to thrice is enough
  • Clear Alternate MAC Address every few sessions
  • When you switch off your console (no need to hold down the power button - that’s a forced shutdown when things freeze up), wait for the blinking sequence to end; when the brick light goes amber, kill the power completely so it goes off and the console has a chance to drain power completely; this way it starts up 100% fresh in the next session
  • Go into your gaming session first thing after power up, oh and yeah… when you give it power, wait for the brick to go from white to amber, THEN press the power button

One more thing: Happy Motoring! :smiley:
