Game freeze after continuing auto save ever since portals were introduced

I bought this game as a Game on Demand deal and my Xbox is a slim one with 250 GB hard drive built in. (bought in 2011). Ever since the portals to the ship were introduced in the game I can't continue the auto save game anymore or the game will freeze and
lock up my Xbox so that I have to touch the power button to switch the console off.

I start the game, select to continue the game and then my guy stands in front of a portal. If I move within the open world then the console freezes within several seconds. It does not freeze when I don't move the guy or use the portal to enter the ship and
then go back to the simulation.

This did not happen before the portals were introduced. Is there any acknowledgement that this is a known bug and maybe even an ETA for a bug fix?

Xbox 360 Freezing because of Saints Row 4

Hello dear readers! I recently bought SR4 as a GoD deal and have a lot of issues with freezing and crashes. As I wrote in another thread ever since the portals were introduced into the game I can't really continue from the auto save any more as the console
locks up then. With luck I'm able to start the game with the auto save, save a game manually, load that game, and go from there. But this workaround does not always work.

Also there's a game crash sometimes when I look at the options about customizing my gang.

Is this a known issue and does Deep Silver/Volition recognize it as such? Is there a patch coming which fould fix this?

My console is a Xbox 360 with 250 GB hard drive built in. From 2011 I believe.

Thanks!

 

game will not load

Any news on when this is getting fixed? I've been lucky enough that I can still play. I don't get freezes on the game loading from the main screen, but I've had the issue with it not loading auto saves ever since the update. Very rarely, it will load an
auto save (mostly after I die). More often than not, it will do as OP described. The loading slider bar fills up fully, but it just sits there on the loading screen.

The only thing I've found that helps is (if you can't load a save), don't use "Resume" unless you know that the last save the game has made is either a manual save, or one of the check points in a main mission. You can't save manually during many missions,
but the game will sometimes save certain checkpoints. Those checkpoints are called "Mission Saves" rather than auto-saves and I've had those load successfully after a death. From my experience, it seems like something is corrupting the auto saves and the only
way to fix/avoid the problem is to delete the last few auto saves (which you can do from the "load game" menu) and try an earlier manual save. Then you have to make sure you manually save... often... or risk the consequences. What a mess.

 

There were many stupid bugs with this game.

There was a new patch recently though.
