Gears of War 2 freezing on title screen - save/profile corruption?

basbooms... i followed your link and happy to say it worked i can play gears 2 on my profile again. the only downside was i was level 99 before mine glitched and now i've been reset to level 1 it's gonna take ages to get that achievement now.... oh well
back to grinding those gears... thanks

I've experienced the same issue on my Xbox One (only in Co-op) where one profile got corrupted and solved it by doing this:

1. Make sure both profiles are downloaded on the console. I did this by downloading them in Gear of Wars 1 (maybe this works with another Xbox360 game also).

2. Make sure the console is offline, I did this in the network settings "Go Offline".

3. I started GOW2 and made sure no profile was signed in.

4. In the game I started lesson 5 in the training grounds.

5. After lesson 5 started I signed the corrupted profile in (Xbox360 settings in the game, decline/ignore any message to connect to Xbox Live) and went back into lesson 5.

6. I got the console back online in the network settings of my Xbox One.

7. I connected the profile to Xbox Live (Xbox360 settings in the game), I noticed the game did not freeze.

8. I reloaded the game and got back into the Co-op mode with both profiles signed in and played the game further without any problem.

I hope my method can help anyone else but no guarantees.

same issue here read a bunch of threads about it

Supposedly it corrupts your profile and there's no fix

I'll play around with it. You can play split screen as a guest but that's it

I am also having this same problem. It is related to one profile when at the menu screen it locks up and sound stutters and then returns to the xbox home screen. I just got off the phone with xbox support and we reloaded, reset, reinstalled and still no
fix. From searching other forums others believe it has something to do with the gamer achievement/progress files being corrupted but no one seems to have a fix.

I've attempted to go through the troubleshooting tips provided and no luck. It seems between the two of us trying to play GoW2, my account is the one that causes the game to freeze and crash. My partner would successfully sign in and was able to navigate
the game, etc. We uninstalled and reinstalled the game, deleted my profile and redownloaded it from scratch. As soon as it finished downloading my profile the game crashed. I would even be fine playing co-op campaign as just a Guest but the game won't allow
it - it requires a signed in Xbox Live account.

Any chance of a patch being released to fix this issue? I know it's an older game at this point and it seems that this issue existed even upon its time of release, but since Microsoft has the rights to the series surely some sort of patch would be viable?
