Game Freezes and NOT so random dungeons

[bloodiesttoad]

Ok i have beat the game but now i am getting mad freezes in game itself and stops during loading inbetween levels.Now i just had the game freeze totally within a dungeon.UGG!

As i mentioned I have beat the game during which i would buy Map Scrolls and they would be random dungeons.Since the Shadow Crypt level keeps going up every level you go down I started gettting the map scrolls again to get near the level in the crypt.But I am not getting random dungeons from them anymore.It keeps giving me Palace levels over and over again and the same 1 to boot.I thought these where random levels???

[RickyReb]

ive been getting the same thing, its only give me palace levels also. ive done over 30 of these maps and they were all palace levels.

[bloodiesttoad]

OK OK OK OK!!! enough of the freezes!!! I have been trying to get passed LEVEL 20 in the endless shadow crypt.3 times now it has locked up.So i go to town get a Map Scroll and BAMM!!! it freeze locks in that one to.AND guess what its the Palace yet again!!!! Whats the deal with this? I have never had any game do the lock up more than this one.5 game started today ALL OF THEm LOCKED UP.This is getting very annoying!

I cleared system cache also.NO LUCK!

Any fix for this??? Seen Patrick here then leave.No comment????

[bloodiesttoad]

I dont know if this is the root cause of the lockups within levels but I was finally able to get passed level 20 in the crypts.It might have to do something with Notifications MSG that come on screen from friends signing on to xbox and messages you recieve.I took it off and SO far(knocks on wood) it hasnt done it yet.

I know at 1 time Forza 2 would almost do the same thing.

[bloodiesttoad]

It started again.Didnt have no problem with the game til I beat it.Since then is another story.

[bloodiesttoad]

Think I found the bug.

For some reason if your Pet is using the spell "aloe gel" during the heal it will freeze.Since I took that spell off I have had 0 freezes.

You seem to be alone here. Has anyone else experienced this? I have yet to run into this Aloe Gel spell, so I can't do my own testing.

In any case, you should post your lockup experiences in the XBLA support forum.

I have also experienced the freezing you are talking about. As for bloodiesttoad it happens to me when my pet casts a spell. After it happened to me several times I began to see a pattern. In my case, its when Ronin (my pet) casts Elemental Protection! So it seems that's the problem.

[Cobra951]

OK, then yes: Please start a thread in the XBLA Help & Support forum, so the devs are more likely to see it. The key is to have multiple people posting the same problem. Then they'll pay attention. If the problem affects only one person, then the problem is likely his alone, like an unstable system or a corrupted file.

What spells are u using?I have my pet now with just heal all and havent had a problem.just when i used aloe gel.But I do get a freeze then it starts playing again.

[Ninjagrym]

My pet are using the Elemental Protection spell.

[bloodiesttoad]

and elemental dmg? or heal?

and youre getting the total freeze or freeze and resume?

I am using Silance VI and Heal VI.freezes but resumes.

I've found and fixed a bug with specific spells that use ribbon code that can result in long freezes in certain circumstances, and have fixed it for the TU -
We're trying to find any other freezes right now. In addition to some of the perf optimizations we've done over the last few days, hopeful that that helps.

Only one spell and that is Elemental Protection. And I get the freeze and resume.

Sounds great! Read another topic about framerate issues and have experienced some of them myself. So thank you for looking into it

It's refreshing to see a company with people who actually communicate with the community and get things done like this. o.o

I have been playing this probably 8 hours a day since release if not more, i notice this the MOST with dark zealot spell orbs, and the basically anything that shoots the radial elemental orbs there is serious chug/freezing. In an 8 hour span, i will have the game COMPLETELY freeze the xbox usually twice. It will freeze for 5-10 seconds at least 5-10 times PER floor of shadow vault. I very much love this game, and as disappointing as the freezing is (because i see there was a freezing issue on PC as well) I will still continue to play this game 8 hours a day until i have 3 characters to lvl 100.

Thank you for releasing such a beautifully fun game Runic, but please fix the freezing =)

EDIT: Spells cast that i see major freezing. Any of the elemental "wisps" i see, ANYTHING that shoots the radial elemental blast, dark zealots, wisps, chanters. And i have had 60+ mobs in a single room, and it was hectic but no chug, down to the last maybe 3 mobs and all of the sudden the xbox locks up due to a vork mage blasting. hope this helps.
