Crackdown

Agent G:

We are aware that the recently released “Crackdown” DLC is causing some gamers to experience a reset of their saved games when they engage in co-op play.  The team is working extremely hard to identify the issue and has provided steps to avoid the problem. 

 

Simply follow these instructions:

 

1. Sign-in to Xbox Live
2. Start Crackdown and receive new Title Update (if you haven’t already)
3. Begin a Single Player Campaign game
4. Once loaded, press Start and choose “Quit”
5. Reboot Crackdown (soft reboot or hard reboot of console)  

By following the steps above, this will ensure that your Crackdown experience will be trouble-free.  You will then be able to enjoy the new title update features, the “Free-For-All” DLC pack, as well as all the goodies found in the “Getting’ Busy Bonus Pack”. 

 

For more details on the contents of the title update, and both the free and premium downloadable content, please visit: http://crackdownoncrime.com/News/DLC+Fact+Sheet.htm

 

A permanent solution will be released with the game’s next Title Update, which will be available in the very near future.  NOTE: Unfortunately these steps will not restore an old saved file.  There is no workaround for this.  If this changes, we will post additional information in these forums in the future.  We sympathize with those who may have lost their saved files.  This was an unforeseen incident and the team has worked diligently to find a solution in the shortest amount of time possible.

I understand this but with the "very near feature title update" will our game files restored befored this event. Dang I'm mad. I understand you are trying but I paid good money and I want my saved file!?!?!?!?!

It should be pointed out based on the comments here that the paid content wasn't the offending item: the free game update was.

Free DLC people are just as exposed to the problem as people who purchased premium content. I fail to see how I "deserve" my 800 points back. Save the fained outrage for something a touch more critical than a  $7 game mod perhaps. Your save file isn't curing cancer.

Okay, question here though:

I downloaded the Title Update and then, once it had applied and the game started, I went into the game and got the Free-For-All pack as well as the pack you pay for. Both were applied, and the game restarted with the content packs enabled. I then went in and played my regular single player campaign for about 20 minutes before saving and quiting normally... never went in to co-op at all.

Am I still okay? The official explanation makes it sound like you have to go into single player and save RIGHT after installing the Title Update. Is it still alright the way I (and I'm assuming many others might have) did it?

Thanks in advance. And thanks for the official explanation.

Soy:

one more quick question.

when I got home from work, I dl'd the content without the game in my tray while surfing the marketplace.

do I need to make sure to do the steps you mentioned even though I was never prompted with the disc?  same rules apply? (save a quick solo game without dying)

EDIT: and is it the pay pack or the free pack or either?

as long as i just stay away from co-op until a patch comes out will i be ok?

plz answer
