question re: black ops 2

[elite2010 1]

hey everyone so here is my problem and my set up .... hope someone can help with this & before i start i just want to say i have looked around aaaallllooottttt but not found a way to fix it yet ! 

 

jasper v2 jtag, 120gb + 1tb hard drives, fsd 3 ( latest ), dash launch 3.10 & all ports are set up and forwarded for link & all passes on the test

now all the games i have set inside of the external hdd and they all show up and play fine and i have no problems or issues at all 

the only problem i have is when i try and use link with bo2, so single player runs fine with no crash or freeze but when i try and join link i can see the lobby and some times join in for 1 round then just as the round ends i get a fatal error and then i am kicked back to fsd .... so here are the things i have tried 

• removed bo2 from hdd and re ripped from original disk = same error 
• launched from with in the folder using both default.xex and default.mp.xex = same error 
• downloaded the game just incase = same error 
• unloaded dash launch and launched game via xex menu = can not connect to link on any game 
• removed both dash launch and fsd3 from the jtag and re installed via the iso - set to download latest of everything = same error and cant connect when dl is unloaded 
• removed all tu and re downloaded ( both auto and manual ) same error & cant connect when dl is unloaded 

 

frustrating part is a friend of mine has the same set up and his is working fine .... even double checked the settings in his dash launch to make sure mine match and they all do ..... and yes i ripped his iso aswell but still got the same problem 

and when i do manage to get on link there is always lots of people on there who dont seem to have the problem at all 

so does anyone have any ideas i can try ..... so far it is only bo2 ....... bo1 / mw2 & mw3 / ghost / all work great and no issues or problems what so ever..... i just have no idea what i am doing wrong with bo2 lol 

 

thanks for your time

Your setup is fine and you've done nothing wrong (from what I can see)

Your BO2 disc could have a light scratch and when you copy it to the hard drive its reading past the unreadable sector(s), and its those sectors that's needed to prevent the game crash (long shot, unlikely but possible), Try borrowing your friends disc and rip that to your xbox (you have the original copy anyway so there is no piracy with it)

 

 

Its just a fought. Could work, could not. But worth a try

 

 

Install the game to the hard drive then use nxe2god to unlock it as a game on demand. See how that goes

yeah i did rip his disk as-well but same problem ... the one thing i didn't do what you mentioned is nxe2god ... will give it a shot and see how it goes 

but thanks for the help and i will report back when i get around to doing it later ........... thanks again

You install game to hard drive via official dashboard, then nxe2god will look for installed games and ask you to confirm to convert them from "Installed" to "Games on Demand"

 

Good Luck

yeah i use to use it before just not used it in a while i got it doing its thing right now so will post back once i try it ... also using my friends cd due to i know his is working 100% took a look under mine and although there does seem to be some light marks on the under side they dont seem or look to be all that bad at all but as you pointed out it could be skipping over ... his cd looks mint tho so as i said i am using his to test this lol

One other thing, when you copied the game to the hard drive, was it a USB drive?

if so, make sure you have "hddalive = true" in dashlaunch, even when your gaming from it, the usb drive can still goto sleep after 5 mins. Once CoD loads its map, how long does an average game last, 15mins? Then you go back to the menu as for you, if your drive is sleeping, fatal crash

yeah i forgot to mention that part that was the first thing i looked at lol 

i had another quick look around on Google and some people have the same issue and for some reason removing the avatars and then re loading em seems to resolve the issue or the issue remains ... if nxe2god doesn't work i will give that a shot ..... and the worst part is i am not even all that keen on the game .. i am only sticking with fixing it because its p*****g me off .. lol 

wife says im stubborn ... and she might have a point lol 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

yeah same problem

and as i was trying it i had the dog licking my face / wife is laughing because im getting frustrated / kids are all like look at this whats that look how far i can put my finger up my nose yadda yadda yadda ..lol but i swear if the avatar thing doesn't fix it .. then im going to launch the game using a different method  

 

• place the game snug inside the case 
• take 2 or 3 steps back to reflect on how much time i have put in to this damn game 
• ask the wife or son to open the window 
• launch it right out the window and across the road 
• problem solved !! lol
