Glitch or corupted game?

[Daggermn]

Hey guys. Sorry to bug everyone if this has already been mentioned. I did not see it anywhere. I went to play my pirates game again after not playing it for a month or so. I loaded up my completed game save and went to replay the Kraken level so I could get the Jackonism chest. When the level loaded up and will was on the Black pearl, it froze up and made a weired buzzing noise. There was vertical green and yellow lines through the screen too. I then tried again and it did the same thing. Then I tried a different level, I tried port royal. It did the same thing. I then took out the game and tried it and it kept doing the samething.

At this point, I thought that my game was defective, but I could not understand how because the game was sitting on a shelf for a month and the disc has no scratches on it. I played another game for a while. Then I tried going back to Pirates. I thought that maybe my game save was corupted, so I tried starting a new game. It did not freeze up. Then I tried the completed game and now it is working. I have no clue why this problem happened. I totally thought my xbox 360 was burning up, but there was no red light of doom. Has anyone seen this?? What could have caused this problem?? What the heck fixed it?? Anyway. No big deal, game is working now. I'm just venting and seeing if anyone has experienced this on any other game.

Oh crap...I'd be thanking the gaming Gods that my console did not die! Although it may be a prelude!

Although I've not had this happen it sounds like a glitched game file.

Do you have a memory unit? I'd be seriously thinking about putting copies of saves and checkpoints on that baby, just incase.

Good luck.

Thanks for responding. Yeah, I do not want my xbox360 to break down. I have already had to go through that once before. It was not fun. Anyway, the game is wokring now and I have no problems with any other games. It must have been a glitch in my game save that has since fixed itself. Lets hope this problem does not happen again.

I have a green line at the top of the screen only in cut-scenes.
Hmmm, what the... ?

Weird you say that I think that was the level i was up to... I have 375g's on this game - left it a few days and the second time i put the disc in "no saved games can be found" i have checked my HDD and as the game says no save files...

excellent :-( this game is going straight back i aint starting over again. it was painfull enough first time around.

That happend to me, but on Tomb Raider Legend, and when i contacted Microsoft (because it kept doing it), they told me that it was the save, so i deleted my saves and it worked fine, so you were probably correct about your save being corrupted (though you were lucky it fixed itself ;)).

"When the level loaded up and will was on the Black pearl, it froze up and made a weired buzzing noise. There was vertical green and yellow lines through the screen too. I then tried again and it did the same thing."

This was a bug that was reported during development (By yours truly), however it was believed to be fixed, usually occurs after multiple level loads in quick succession or going through checkpoints back and forth very fast....

I did think this was ironed out but the game performance was sketchy until the day it got printed to disc, especially on the PS3!

All I can suggest is quit to dashboard, reload the game. It seems to happen mostly on levels with Ship interiors, particularly in the cell block area
