HOW ABOUT TALKING NORMALLY INSTEAD OF ALL CAPS THEN SOMEONE MIGHT GET BACK TO YOU

you know only because you used all caps is the reason i'm only going to partially help. go to xbox-scene and then tutorials look for the "guide to using #xbins" come back later when you fix your caps lock problem.

Force Unleashed 2 STRANGE PROBLEM?

Hi,
Heres whats happening, I have burned 2 copys of SWTFU2 and Both install to a 100%.
So heres the strange part when im playing i keep getting an unreadable disc error ?.
I thought once you installed an xbox game that was it as long as the game was in their for the diskcheck, no?

Any ideas would be appreciated Regards,
Nightm4r3z

Re: Force Unleashed 2 STRANGE PROBLEM?

Have you updated to new beta of Kinect dashboard? This is new kind of protection. It prevents booting new games. Check if you can boot older backups.

Hi Murphy,

No I have'nt updated to kinect just yet but theres a BETA floating around so...this [rotection thing would have been sorted by then, Any other suggestions?...a bad rip perhaps?

Re: Force Unleashed 2 STRANGE PROBLEM?

Nope, definitely not a bad rip. It is confirmed by C4E that there is new copy protection. Try using Xval to see if your console was flagged - if yes, app will show message like "failed AP25 challenge". If not, you're lucky ("sec data is clean" message) :) You do not need to have new dashboard to be affected by new anti-piracy protection. Did you connected to Xbox Live past last week? Looks like dashboard updates its protection to new without prompting any message.

Try patch the game to wave3 and see if it works.

Download and run Xval 2.0 app. Turn on your X360 and go to system information. Type your console serial number and X value (in right-bootom of the xbox system info. screen). Click decrypt. If Xval will show "sec data is clean" message - your console is not flagged. If it show something else you can start to worry.

Strange. Maybe files are hidden? Try to swich-off "hide files" option in Windows. I also have Win7 and my XVal extracts and works fine.

turn off Anti-Virus first! Its probably reporting a false positive and deleting the file upon unzip!
