niz3 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Hi all, i've installed this game to my hard drive (4,5 GB). Now when i start the game, the disc is spinning in my DVD-Drive. It seems my HDD-Installation is completely ignored. Even when i start the DLC-Game the Disc is spinning. OMG this sucks so bad. Any1 else got this problem?

niz3 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 So i'm the only one who got this problem? Damn, i hope my xbox isnt dying or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lymiss Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I don't have this probelm but I read on gamefaqs people are having the same issue. They said if you play music from usb drive during the game (you can turn the volume down) then it should stop. I don't know how it works though.

Stink Snake Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Is the disk just spinning or is it reading from disk? It seems to me that all I hear is the fan from the 360 with the game installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lymiss Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 From what I've read, the disc is spinning and it only seems to be doing it for people who have 360 slims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strid Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 From what I've read, the disc is spinning and it only seems to be doing it for people who have 360 slims. Doing it for me too and I'm rockin' the Jasper unit. Correction on Lymiss' post about the "fix", you don't have to play the music in the game, just be playing music while booting the game, once the game gets to the main menu you can turn it off. Neither method works more than the other or 100% of the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II OE II Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 i have a GTA 4 console and it spins the disk when i load the game up. It goes away after a minute or two though, so it doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Boredom Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm having the same problem, and the music trick didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lymiss Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yeah. I wasn't sure on the whole music thing. I'm not having the issue but could re-installing fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDxTURTLE Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yep, Mine is doing the same thing. I even tried to re-install it, no luck there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treewaller Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I've got this too. The weird part is that it stops spinning as the game boots up, and then starts again a few seconds later when the company logos are going by. What's up with that?

Treewaller Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I've heard some people got it working properly by booting the game without being logged into a profile and then just logging in at the main menu. Didn't work for me but it's worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAussie360 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Weird, I have a slim and its installed, and the disc is not spinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty130 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I got an Elite Jasper and I can hear the disc spinning after install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallicorphan Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 i saw this thread before i bought the game,and now that i have played some,i can't really tell that it is spinning(not making any noise anyway) I have a 2009 basic(not slim or Elite)model..and i think it's a Jasper (it has 1A at the end of the code above 'made in china' on the back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDxTURTLE Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I have an inquiry in with EA, but they are dodging the question. I asked if the game was optimized for installing with the 360, and they assumed my disc was dirty or that my console was broken. I am still waiting to hear back from my second e-mail. If anyone hears anything please post... I miss my silent running xbox but love this game too much to stop playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeloazndevil Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 From what I've read, the disc is spinning and it only seems to be doing it for people who have 360 slims. I have a 360 Slim and I can confirm this happening. This also happened during the beta test with Halo Reach on the new disc format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlboro ManTX Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) that's a weird problem, but does it affect gameplay at all? Edited June 19, 2011 by Marlboro ManTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooyah Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 no, dont worry, it doesnt It doesn't affect gameplay, but the thing that worries me is that 360 disc drives appear to be made out of paper mache, and I don't want to wear the thing out. I have a slim, and am seeing the same as other people... the disc stops spinning at first, and then starts again during the Spicy Horse logo animation. Very annoying. Typical of EA to suggest a bog standard "clear your cache" solution... how would that ever help?!?! Unless I am being unfair here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronic Arts Tier 3 Customer Support cheers for the info, but i dont see how changing the clock on your 360 will change the fact that the 360 plays from disc rather than HDD even after an install. Btw i have a 250gb slim. Dunno why its doing it but no biggy as every other game i install to HDD. One game playing from disc wont harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydumbdude Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Mine does it randomly. Its not that big of a deal for me. It did it on both my slim and my old 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
