Is your Ninja Gaiden 2 Freezing?

If you are like me and playing through Ninja Gaiden 2 right now, don't worry if your game keeps freezing in the early and later chapters.

The disc is not scratched and your 360 is not broken, the latest update for download is fukking eveything up and causing freezing during chapters.

Delete your system memory cache to remove the update and all will be okay. Just play offline till you finish the game.

DO NOT FORMAT SYSTEM MEMORY!

To clear cache:
1- Go to Dashboard
2- Select System Blade
3- Select "Memory"
4- Highlight your HDD and press Y
5- Now hit: X,X, Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X, X.

Good thing my 360 isn't connected to the interweb.

lol your telling me, I spent about 20 mins cleaning the disc, then was about to take the console apart and clean it! I suspected some shit like this could happen from an update. Whats even worse is that this problem has been around for 2 weeks and microsoft haven't sorted it out yet, so I'm sure some kids out there have tried to either get a refund or a replacement disc.

haha....thank god. I was wondering how I was going to fix that. Mine was doing the same thing! I had swapped out the game from the store and it froze in the same place. Talked to a friend who shared similar online habits as myself and he ran into the same dealio.

Good times.

Lol..I bet someone at Tecmo paid someone off : P

I wonder if this is Itagaki's revenge for being axed. If all the Dead of Alive girls suddenly becomes flat-chested the next time I boot up Xtreme 2, that'll prove it.

If you delete the cache with that method does it not delete every update for every game? IIRC you can go into the individual game's entry on the HDD and delete the update just for that title. I may be wrong (highly likely).

He quit, and in any case I don't think he's within miles of where the programming happens. But to humor you - maybe he has fifth columnists hiding at Tecmo?

In any case, this doesn't help Tecmo so the "payed them off" comment from somebody doesn't make sense. When somebody tries to get a replacement disc, that costs them money.

Also, something similar to this is happening with the PS3 right now.

I'd say "there's a reason they tell you not to update your motherboard BIOS until you need it," but these updates are more in line with Microsoft Windows Update, and are probably software fixes and stability and performance upgrades mainly for video and security (and let's not forget also for PIRACY PREVENTION A++)

Yeah It'll delete saved updates for every game but, as long as you don't play NG2 when the consoles online and download the update you won't have to do it again. Its not a big thing if your like me and only use a 360 for Halo 3. It does work btw, I'm on chapter 14 now having some trouble with dagra dai.
