Xbox 360-fatal crashing bug in Forza 2?
There’s a certain thread in the Forza Motorsport 2 forums that’s already reached a whopping 60 pages, and it’s all about the random glitching, crashing and overall just weird behavior of the game while it’s being played. While a few bugs and crashes can be chalked up to a careless glitch, there’s even a few reports of the game actually causing owners’ 360s to contract the all-too-horrifying red ring of death – which means that there’s something not quite right with Forza 2. Let’s dig a bit deeper to see what the posters are actually going through.
Reading the thread, we find out that the crashes happen randomly at any point in the game. Some posters report the game crashing during offline races, others while purchasing or painting new cars. A few even reported the game crashing even while there’s no visible activity at all, such as during loading screens or just looking at your own cars.
It’s to note that the users who have reported these incidents have made it clear that they’ve taken steps to ensure that their consoles have been properly taken care of and are very well-ventilated during play, as well as not having any problems of the sort with other high-end games for the Xbox 360.
Another alarming post comes from poster srt4turbo2004 – saying that Forza 2 has pretty much forced him to change consoles, with the same result of the game crashing. He also noted that the crashes are telegraphed by a grinding noise, a noise that occur ed even with a fresh-out-of-the-box console. Weird.
We can only hope that Turn10 addresses this issue and fast. Forza Motorsport 2 clearly has a lot of fans who want to enjoy the game as much as they could, and are disappointed that these crashes are preventing them from doing so. Updates as we get them.
Thanks to Mike for the tip!
