View Full Version : W2A Crashes on launch

In the past, W2A would sometimes crash a few seconds after I select "Play Game" from the Xbox Dashboard (ie, just long enough to see the Xbox Live Arcade logo splash screen while the game is launching). However, this problem would only be temporary - it would only crash 2 or 3 times before being able to launch normally once again.

Recently, this problem has reappeared and is not going away. I haven't been able to play W2A for a few weeks now. Has anyone else ever had an issue like this?

I tried deleting the game and redownloading it, but it still doesn't work. Any help is appreciated... thank you

Try launching it while you are signed out and see what happens.

Welp, no dice on that one, but I appreciate your help... any other ideas?

All I can think of is trying to run the game from another hard drive/memory card or 360. You could also try deleting saved games and profile information but that should be last resort.

Is your 360 under warranty?

we had to sign out and resign under a different profile and get an update to stop that from happening on a couple games...
live has some issues... the main profile on our 360 would not download the most recent update properly on our main profile so itd crash every time it tried... after signing in under a different one and getting the update it worked fine though.

Deleting the saved data and starting anew didn't work. And no, it's no longer under warranty.

Interestingly, everytime I do this it tells me to update the game, which I do, but it still doesn't work.

UPDATE
Recently, it has been working sporadically again. However, last night, the game started showing this message every time we would start playing a game for both local and Xbox Live matches (maybe it can provide some insight or a clue as to what might be wrong - and yes, the HDD is plugged in and working just fine for other games):
