Yesterday after downloading the new update, the game is freezing when you open a chest

I helped a friend remedy the same problem, the map was built using duplicated pieces; several of which were stored inside chests as 'ready to use' pre-duplicated pieces.

We assumed that these stored stacks of 64 which turned to 255 before the update were causing the game to freeze when the chests containing them were in close proximity.

Our solution was, remove the update (clearing cache on storage device) and start the map in offline mode after declining the update. When the map successfully loads, DESTROY ALL EXISTING DUPLICATED PIECES STORED IN ANY CHEST.

We destroyed every chest being used on the level, replacing them with new chests, and only re-filling them with LEGITIMATE pieces.

Every structure built with these pieces was left intact and untouched, only the chests containing reserve duplicated pieces were destroyed.

After this task was completed, the map loaded WITH THE UPDATE, creative mode works 100%....

For anyone who is having the freeze issue, please try this remedy. It fixed the problem for us.

*** This post is in no way an accusation of any gamer exploiting a glitch; there may other genuine causes to the freezing issue. We were aware that duplication may have been the culprit in our particular situation, and our solution just happened to work
for us.

New update making game freeze when signing in to servers...it worked when I played 2am this mourning, and after update freezes. What did they mess up?

i have found that when you stumble across a dungeon, before opening a chest, save your game, if you don't like what you get in the chest reload your game and try again, the loot was different everytime i tried this and i eventually got a chest with 3 saddles
in it

[/quote] Seriously...?

I saved my game right before my first chest, and after opening the chest, and not seeing the saddle, I asked my brother (who has had Minecraft on the PC or about a year) if the chest would be different if I re-loaded the save. He said no. Hahaha. Oh well,
still got the chest not long after.

Anyone else having constant freezing after downloading this new update?

Hi ReproductioN. The bikini outfit and a new outfit for Noel were available since yesterday (21 February). When I started the game yesterday, there was a game update from xbox live. After that update I went to the downloadable content on the XIII-2 title
menu. And there was new content (bikini and one for Noel). If you don't have it yet, ??? but it's already available for PAL regions (NZ/Australia).
