Rockstar Games Problem
« on: April 11, 2005, 12:24:00 AM »
==THE MAIN REASON I PUT THIS POST IN THIS CATEGORY IS BECAUSE I THOUGHT I FUCKED SOMETHING UP IN THE BACKUP PROCESS WHEN I CAME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM==
OK. IM NOT SURE IF THIS BELONGS IN HERE. BUT IT MAY. IM NOT SURE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE NOTICED THIS ABOUT ANY ROCKSTAR GAMES SUCH AS GTA3 OR MANHUNT. BUT ON SOME OCCASIONS THE GAMES WILL WORK ON ONE DAY. AND THEY WONT THE NEXT DAY. I LOOKED INTO THIS BUT COULDNT FIND ANYTHING ON IT. SO I DECIDED TO CHECK STUFF OUT. I GOT MANHUNT TO BOOT PAST ITS INTRO MOVIE SHOWING THE ROCKSTAR LOGO. AND IF YOU NOTICE THEIRS A TIMER UP TOP THE MENU. BASICALLY IF YOUR SYSTEM TIME/DATE ISNT SET I GUESS AFTER THESE GAMES WERE MANUFACTURED. THEY WILL CRASH/HANG ON BOOT. THIS HAPPENS WITH GRAND THEFT AUTO 3. THE LOADING BAR GETS HALFWAY ACROSS THE SCREEN. THEN THE XBOX HANGS. PRESSING THE EJECT BUTTON ON MY XBOX REBOOTS IT "iND BIOS 5003.67" SO I KNO IT CRASHED. IM NOT SURE IF THIS WORKS ON ANY OTHER ROCKSTAR GAME. BUT IF THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THOSE GAMES. PUT IT IN THIS THREAD TO HELP OTHERS. ROCKSTAR GAMES R THE SHIT!!!

-FIRST ROCKSTAR GAME I EVER PURCHASED WAS THRASHER SKATE N DESTROY FOR PSX. LOL

It's fairly common knowledge that the time needs to be set to resolve some lockup issues...

Agreed...not really a new finding.  I belive this is one of the top 5 reasons why games freeze on ChefElf's list.

Yeah, when games lock this is known as the first thing to check.  It is in chefelf's guide as well.

Moving to garbage.
