Well the ones I've played have been fine. New Vegas, Modern Warfare 2 and Fable 2 havn't had any problems. Red Alert 3 usually crashes after 10-15 minutes of gameplay, across all campaign missions, aswell as MP.
I only started playing RA3 again recently, and the errors started immediately. I didn't used to have these problems.
Just tried installing a friends disc, then ran from my disc. It still crashes:? I have no idea what the problem is.
Is it possible for the install to corrupt/not install correctly if the disc is scratched? I know sometimes the game just won't install and prompt an error message; but is it possible to actually install it, but not 'properly'?
Even when installing Red Alert 3 I get a 'Disc is unreadable' error; could it be the disc? Or is it more likely to be a console/HDD problem?
**UPDATE: Okay, so my problem is specific to Red Alert 3. I have deleted all data related to the game (game saves), cleared my cache and installed a friends copy of the game to my hard drive and then run from the 'new' disc. Even after all of this, I still get 2 varying error messages; one being 'Fatal error' (havn't even seen this one on another game) which will crash the console if i press any button; the other being 'Disc is unreadable' which takes me back to the dashboard. On one occassion, the 'Fatal error' message had the description "exception in exception handler"; which sounds much like a PC error?
I have literally no idea what the source of the problem is, nor how it can be fixed. Tried everything I can think of. Has anybody got any ideas, or experience with anything similar?
So I loaded up Red Alert 3 for the first time in about a year, and around half-way through the first mission I get an error message in one of those blue boxes saying 'Fatal Error', which immediately led to my 360 completely crashing.
So I tried installing the game to the HDD, and it worked. Booted up the game, completed the mission. However on the next mission, I get the error "Disc is unreadable". It was installed to the HDD at this point, which makes no sense.
I tried clearing the cache and redownloading the patch, but it keeps crashing. It's now a mixture of 'Fatal error' and 'Disc in unreadable' errors, at seemingly random intervals. I persisted and completed some missions without the console freezing, so I don't really know what is causing it or why it's happening.
All my other games are working fine. Has this happened to anybody else? Any ideas on how to fix it?
