Slacker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) Well all I'm doing is popping the discs in and letting them do their thing. No idea what's wrong but looks like I might need to get a new hard drive? Even though this one's been fine for a long time. I just got an extra second's worth of the cut-screen before it cut off this time. Progress.

You don't happen to have a spare you can try!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Nah. Just looked at disc 1 again for scratches and it looked perfect except there was a tiny, tiny, tiny fingerprint mark on the outside of the disc. So I've given that a gentle rub (steady) and will try install again. Could I get a copy of my mates disc one and install that or is it only able to install on one machine? Failing that I'll probably go buy a new hard drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Aye installing disc 1 which takes about 15-20 minutes. Then it says insert disc 2, which just goes to "loading story mode" at the bottom right, but then pops up with "install complete" after a while. A mate's told me not to install the second disc, but it's not giving me an option not to. Bizarre. I've deleted everything and tried re-installing about three times now, f**k all's happening. Maybe my hard drive's goosed, but I want to be able to try it without installing the data on disc 2 to see if that works... I think that's just the install process. "Don't install the play disc" means don't physically go into your xbox settings and choose to install that disc to the hard-drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Gotcha. Well I've not done that, so, that's good. As I see it, my options are... a) Install again now that I've wiped the disc. Doubt that'll do anything different. b) Install my mates disc one and see if that fixes any issues. c) Buy a new hard drive. If they don't work, well, let's not go there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballymoneyyin Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I've stupidly gone for the 'offshore' option on that heist and have no idea how I'm meant to get the cargo helicopter from the military base. Any attempt to enter the base ends up in insta-death. Hope you sticky bombed the fruit stall en route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) YA BEAUTY! IT'S WORKED! Tiny remnants of a fingerprint needed wiped off disc 1. That's all. Cheers for your help fellas. See you in a few days... Edit: Forget that, played for 5 minutes, got to the car and it's done it again....f**k.

Confidemus Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Just checked Rockstar social. My mate has uploaded a pic of a bird on Vespucci beach in a bikini top. What a massive trouser hawk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that still doesn't fix it, it's the game, not you or your hard drive. I'm guessing you have an original model 360? That's what I have, and along with many others we've found that the game doesn't work on these consoles for whatever reason. Just won't work at all. Need to wait on Rockstar to address the issue and stop ignoring it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Absolutely loving this game so far, easily the best game I've ever played. The storylines are great, the characters are great and the detail is quite amazing. The missions are fantastic, much better than any other GTA imo, there's just so much variety of things to do. Fucking hate the planes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Doesn't work even with the external hard drive or USB? Or do you mean doesn't work with the internal hard drive? Because I think it's the original model - it's fucking ancient. I'll go buy a USB or hard drive at some point then. Gutted. Got a week off next week and this needs played! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to install the play disc on a USB tomorrow when I can pick one up and see if that makes any difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 How do you hijack a train? I was doing the action movie run along all the carriages, and got absolutely wiped out by some signals, it was awesome. I then shot the driver and fell off the front of the train and got run over 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
