Freezing on first save/load screen

TheRandomManiac · May 16, 2014

The first cutsceen after you create your character has frozen on me a good 3-4 times tonight. Audio is fine for a good 15-20 seconds then it cuts out and you hear like wind blowing or something and after the whole cutsceen plays my xbox freezes and I'm forced
to restart. This hasn't happened on any other game thus far. Anybody else have this issue?

A little bug with Gun Runners Arsenal

Have had more freezing with GRA, mostly screen freezing while fast travel.

Three times in 5 hours, so not that big a deal.

You might load an earlier save and not take Your companions and see if the problem goes away.

Xbox 360 freezing when....

For some reason the xbox keeps freezing whenever I tried to load my saved game on Dark Souls. I have 2 other saves that work fine, ,but this one doesn't. It freezes just after selecting it, on the loading screen.

A similiar thing happens when ever I try to play Red Dead Remeption Multiplayer, where it keeps freezing while it loads.

I've done the clearing the storage system caches, but that doesn't help.

I just skipped right through that part and left it as default. is some stuff later about uploading your charter to their site, once you sign up, tried to save mine but said server down or something, so ive been skipping any charter custom stuff.

I had this exact same problem with the freezing. My game would freeze up primarily when driving. My car would hit an "invisible wall", the sound would cut out, my car would disappear and the game would freeze up. I also hit a part in the story missions
at the end of Act 1 where I could not advance because the game would freeze every time during the transition from one of the cut scenes to the action. I was about to abandon the game because I could not advance.

I was able to fix the problem by running the entire game from a USB stick (16 GB) rather than the hard drive. I'm not exactly sure why this makes such a difference, but the Games with Gold version doesn't seem to like running off the HDD for some reason.
I moved the entire game (6.9 GB) and my save games to the stick and I haven't had it freeze since. If you have having this problem, I suggest giving this a shot if you have a USB stick that you can use. It cleared the problem right up for me.

What do you mean? How can you not like seeing a loading screen for several minutes only for it to load another screen that says loading, then load another screen that says saving and yet another screen that says loading? What's not to like about that? Or
the game completely freezing up your console during and after matches and then getting a corrupt game save from it? These kinda seem like the exact problems in BF3 to me.

Since this was one of the first pages that popped up in google and I JUST fixed it I'm going to share in the hopes that other people will be saved the frustration. I was freezing right at the end of the loading screen after multiple other freezing instances.
I found that doing one of those loading screen tutorials corrected whatever issue I was having. Attempt that as well as all the other suggestions from the link that Gabe gave above. Hope this helps anyone having this issue.
