Halo 3 Disc Read Errors Rampant *Updated*
« Reply #61 on: October 01, 2007, 04:36:00 AM »
Listen up people, thje problem is not with the discs. I tried 4 copies of Halo 3, all worked to some point - I got random unreadable disc errors when loading the next mission in campaign (from mission 1 to 2, 3 to 4 etc...) and almost always on multiplayer maps like Snowbound, Guardian and Epitaph (plus I had one frezze per match on Valhalla almost always).

All of those copies played with no problems on other consoles.

However I tried to remove my 20GB HDD yesterday and used a temporary profile (offline on system link with 8 players) and I could load any map with no problem. That means that the problem (and solution) lies within this storage disc. I didnt try out the cache clear method (i doubt it will work) in memory section (press y, x,x, lb,rb,x,x - perform maintenance).

I suggest that everyone experiencing same problem tries this HDD removal method and reports if that helped. However I do not intend to play without my hdd because I cant use my profile thus cant sign in XBL.

What the hell? Why this topic die? Everyone fixed ur 360ies??? I still have the freaking problem and I tried it with a new HDD and still got the DRE. Now i hate the console even more because i deleted all my savegames when I was transfering profiles.


I am in the same boat as you, I first rented Halo 3 & played it for 1.5 hours straight then got a DRE tried restarting got DRE and unable to play was pissed but next day went back to playing Bioshock which I am nearly finished & bam won't load DRE & I never had that before, tried all my games same thing & there all originals. Really pisses me off & there's no solution as what caused this I know over at the official Xbox forums there's over 80 pages of same posts as this one, good one MS great way to make a system. I was so looking forward to Mass Effect now prob won't be able to play it.

Guess this is a year late but.. Was there ever a real fix for this DRE problem? I tried all suggested methods.. I reformatted HDD, reset cache, played with no memorey, burned disc(s) on differnt media, all other games I have work fine, even let play through few DVD videos on DVD-R and DVD DL.. Xbox games also seem fine (didn't play just booted and let run)..

I never got a chance to play Halo 3, now looks like I never will. I don't have Live or any internet connection. Starwars unleashed and Mass Effect have both played fine, and continue to just Halo 3.. arghh wish something would work, I have played the first 4 scenes in H3 about 30 times now..

Any advice?
