D4RKXPOW3R Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Anyone else run into this problem? Every time I get a final hit on an enemy, either from a whip attack or a finishing move, the game freezes for half a second...If I kill more then 1 enemy at a time, it freezes for upwards of 3 seconds. It started around chapter 5-6, but even when I go back to earlier chapters it still does it. It also does the same thing on disk 2, so it can't be a faulty disk if they are both doing the exact same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marriott Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I finished the game last night and I never had any problems. Have you tried installing the game on your HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponypo2001 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I finished the game last night and I never had any problems. Have you tried installing the game on your HDD? Both my discs are installed and I have the same problem. I know a lot of reviews stated this problem but I thought it'd been fixed for retail. I'm playing on an older 360 model so maybe it doesn't affect the slim? The game actually totally freezes on a later section of the game as there are over 30 enemies on screen in one part and it was atrociously bad.

I have disk 1 installed, but not disk 2. It does it on both of them. I have tried playing offline, clearing the cache, ect...but nothing is fixing this annoyance.

Kyai Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I have the new slim model so I can't speak for others, but... My would freeze for just a second if I killed 5 or more at the same time (ie holy water the group of zombies summoned by the Necromancer). I just overlooked it, because of possibly a lot of particle effects and experience gains, I dunno. But it wasn't too bad for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omen66 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 mine started doing this around chapter 5 also. its annoying and how did something like this get past the game testers? they must not have tested it very well at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineAres Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This started for me after i turned on the "show experience gained" option in the extras, and it seems like it's "calculating" how much experience you're going to get from the kill as you kill it. I tried turning it off, but it doesn't seem to want to turn off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LK Tien Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm using a 20 gig 360, no install, never had any glitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Prower CC Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm usin the new slim model, and I didn't install. Cleared the game twice without any issue. You're right it's probably not the disc, it could be something about your console's hardware. I know my old model XB would get sketchy on me with certain games.

davidmerrell Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Its definately a hardware issue. I havent had any issues at all. I have the slim by the way. my buddy has a old 20 gig and he hasnt had a issue either. so I dont believe it has anything to do with what system you have either. I just think there are certain issues with certian xboxes. Just like not all get the red ring. Know what I mean? If it was the game I think everyone who is playing would experience the same problem.

You wouldnt think so. Are any of them a slim? Cause as I have stated I have had no issue. This game has not froze up on me a single time. I have a friend who says it has not froze up on him either and he has a 20gb. It really is hard to say. You would think if it was the software that it would happen to everyone no matter what. I am playing my first playthrough on easy. Wonder if difficulty makes a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echilion Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I still have a launch 360 and have had no issues with freezing or slowing down. The game ran perfectly throughout and I don't have it installed either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if difficulty makes a difference? ive tested on 2 slims and a ff13 super elite. on the gamefaqs forums theres a thread about. almost all that have this glitch are getting it after getting the achievement "seasoned" including myself. i tried both installed and not and still happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberEvil Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm on an S console and I did have the issue. Started around Disc 2, but more to the point right around the time I hit 20k experience for the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M19Hamelin87 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 it was freezing on me bad before i installed to my harddrive once i did that i never had the problem again till i had to fight the necromancer and killed like 25 zombies at the same time i would try installing should be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteShadowMan Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 good i thought i was the only one with this problem lol. Fighting the last boss is stupid since if i kill the enemies he spawns all at once i get a huge 3-7 second freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRiderRazil Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I noticed it when I went back to earlier chapters. Thought it was just from killing like five or six enemies at a time, then noticed the XP thing as stated by someone above. I tried turning it off, same thing as them, it won't go away. It may be that, if OP has the option on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting the last boss is stupid since if i kill the enemies he spawns all at once i get a huge 3-7 second freeze. I ended up not killing them. I evaded a lot and waited for him to put the circles on the ground, turned off magic and got hit by one then switched to the same element he was using before he hit me to take little damage, even on Paladin. Mainly because...I didn't want to deal with the Reapers. =S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he brings the reapers in, and then does the circle move and you purposely get caught it counts as you killing them and gives you the XP. That's how i always got the freezing to happen during that fight. But it did seem to happen after i turned on the XP display i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember it doing it, but that's not to say it didn't happen. Hmm...I dunno. XD I just woke up, forgive me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledge Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 It could be too much going on screen to cause slowdown, happens to me all the time in Firefight in Halo ODST and Reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not slowdown, it only happens when an enemy is killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
