My xbox is modded with a smartXX running the latest executer bios, but I also have the original bios. Last night I bougth R63: BA and renewed my live account. Im setting here mad now because I just wasted about 100 dollars and got banned as soon as I go to play the game. I dont know how I got banned tho... wait a damn min, when I was typing this I remembered that my game region is set for pal... maybe that did it? Im gonna go with the assumption that it has to be it, my hdd is locked, I only run bios's that stop live from being accessed, and I only try to get on live with the original bios, playing an original game, so that has to be it. Right?

Never mind I just checked and its still set for north america, but the dvd region is region free, could that have done it?

Also, on the error message it just says xbox could not connect becuase it might be modified, xbox live not found, does that mean Im banned or that xbox live isnt on my xbox?

You are banned my friend. What HD size do you have in you xbox?

160 gig seagate baracude locked.

Just a thought... Its the first game that fully support live 3.0.
Maybe they have stated banning for big HD:s.

No, Live isn't banning large HDs. There would be a lot of posts here if that was the case

HL_101 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 10, 2004, 03:43:00 PM »

Okey if you say so Shanfan, just fought that the game was realy new.
Guess he logged in to live with the modchip on after all.

Buy a new eeprom at the buy & sell forum!

Imm my modchip is always on, its a smartXX, but the onyl bios I use other than the original are the executer bios that blocks live so I still dont know how I was banned, Im trying to figure it out because I dont want to buy another eeprom and just get banned again.

i think the x2 bios onyl blocks games from connecting to Live, if you load the dashboard (and it autoconnects) that could still get you banned

Password protect your live account and disable auto connnect.
Put your live account on a memory card and unplug the mem card when not playing live.
