Hi Guys

Have an annoying issue and was wondering if anyone else has heard of this ?

Free Play > hot lap > i then choose my car and track and then when its loading it freezes. It used to do it once in a blue moon but this evening its done it every single time :(

Ive tried cleaning the disc and also removed some stuff off the HDD, theres still 9GB left

Which revision of the 360 is it?

I've had the odd game hang from time to time. Sometimes Mirror's Edge just won't load. Usually a mercy, that one.
 
Sometimes i have cars with upgrades i cant sell or equip and in order to fix them i have to sell them( in one case if i put slicks on a zonda the game crashed too)
And occasionally it stutters when i have people vome online

I thought it was just particular cars / track combos at first but now it seems to be most car / track combos :p

No idea, ive had a 360 for what must be 5 years now but ive replaced it 3 or 4 times due to the RROD. This must be 12 / 18 months old at a guess. How can i find that out ?

Is there anyway to send my forza disc away and get a replacement if i feel that perhaps its got a couple of bad scratch's ?

My forza regularly hangs on multiplayer lobby, maybe once in a 3 hour session.

It's very annoying but from what I have read it is a "bug".
 
Forza 3 hangs occasionally but it's no where near as bad as Forza 2 garage hang. Mine freezes if I try to play online to quick. If i fire the 360 up then the game & go straight into a lobby when i select a car it freezes. If I wait a bit & do a hot lap then go into MP it's perfect. It doesn't hang all the time but nowadays i just fire the game up Before i set up my driving seat/cockpit & then by the time i am ready the game is & it don't freeze.
Coincidence ? God knows.

Check the wattage on the back - it's written by the power supply socket. You can figure out the revision from that.

12-18 months is probably the one just prior to Jasper that they used for replacements, but which had most of the Jasper benefits, so it's probably not a hardware failure.
 
This used to happen for me if I'd changed the multiscreen viewing angle (to give me a custom interior view).. Turning multiscreen off stopped it hanging..
 
My 360 is a Brand new 150w replacement that I've had around 6 - 8 weeks so I reckon it's definately the game, Forza 2 did it, I'm just glad it only happens occasionally as it used to boil my **** on Forza 2.

When I ran over my PGR3 disc in my office chair, it was cream crackered, and I had to buy another copy of the game, despite trying the shop and MS, there was no disc replacement scheme back then.

How bad is it? Scratches can be removed (within reason) at some high street video games stores..
