I just had a very strange graphical/game freezing glitch. Since I am
unsure if it came with the last DLC I decided to post it here.


Everything went normal when suddenly the screen went black and the only things i
could see where differently colored triangles pointing at the exact
middle of the screen like some strange stroboscopic effect. Except for
the hud everything else was black. The sound continued to play normally
and I was still able to shoot/use skills. The game and the weird
graphics went on until the console froze up roughly 2 minutes later.

The circumstances for the case somebody wants to recreate that on purpose
are as following. Firebase Dagger, Reapers, Tempest X with ultralight
materials and the new mod which gives armor piering to smgs. I played an
Salarian infiltrator.

Happened to me as well. Also on FB Dagger, but different set-up.

[Miclotov]

Did you play by chance the same character as me?

[penitentrogue]

It happened to me too on dagger. Same setup and same system freeze. It's only happened once though and I've never seen it since. I thought it was just my xbox dying

[S0LIDFISHER]

I had that too. Also had a match shortly after where my character's body disappeared mid match. All I could see where his weapons and what seemed like a pair of eyeballs for the rest of the match. Loading the match after that led to my slim unit to freeze mid load.

Just happened to me on Firebase Dagger, Cerberus, Bronze. Vorcha Sentinel, Bloodlust engaged and full. There were warning signs leading up to the triangle explosion: the missile launcher on my back turned pitch black and enemies began appearing like shadows when they were beyond a certain distance from me. After a few minutes of that, vertices went haywire and I had to be guided to the extraction zone via my microphone headset while everyone else fought off the bad guys.

[Miclotov]

That is odd, i can't remember disappearing enemies or that my missle launcher turned back. But it's good to see that I am not the only guy with this problem.

I really hope they find the reason for this issue and get it fixed.

Ok, just happened AGAIN. Once again, Firebase Dagger. N7 Destroyer this time (so another red overlay was involved). Vertex errors on Round 7. The game seemed to recover, after which I disengaged the devastator mode. Unfortunately, the game crashed hard two rounds later as I was gunning down a Phantom. I am using an Xbox Elite that does have a history with dust problems, but right now it's clean. Mass Effect 3 is installed directly on the hard drive.

If you don't mind my asking, what model of xbox are you using, how old is it, does it have a history of problems, and do you have Mass Effect 3 installed on your Xbox's harddrive?

EDIT: Did a quick google search and this came up.  Posting it here in case it was burried into obscurity in the multiplayer forum.  The error was very similar to what we've been dealing with, but this user was playing the game on a laptop.


EDIT: And another one.

EDIT: And again.  I'm linking these because they belong in Technical Support.

Thanks for digging up the old threads.

I don't mind that you ask for that. I use an old white Xbox 360, when I remember it's one of the production line which had massive problem with the red ring of dead back then, but it seems I was lucky.

Mass Effect 3 is installed on an usb-stick which serves as a second hard drive for the console. The save files are stored on the original hard drive which came with the console.

Before the Earth DLC came out I played a lot of games on that map, but it never happened before to me. The console also didn't froze on any other games or maps.

 The same thing happened to me yesterady. I was playing on Firebase Dagger against Cerberus on Gold. I stepped into LZ during extraction and suddenly all I could see were black-grey triangles, exactly as Miclotov described. I was afraid my Xbox is making his last breaths, but it looks like a bit too common problem in Mass Effect. And always FB Dagger. I managed to survive and in menu everything was fine so I continued to play, but unfortunately on FB Giant I saw artifacts since the very beginning. Here's a short video, sorry for the (lack of) quality, recorded with potato.
I used N7 Demolisher, but I don't think it matters.
Jasper v2 in good shape, game installed on HDD.

Just tried to play a game on Dagger again, this time the console simply froze during wave 4 or 5.

[Lord Incognito]

I just got the glitch, on dagger using the N7 demolisher. I thought my xbox was dying or something as stated above. but now i see others have it as well. Anyone know whats up?

[Miclotov]

Since we don't have some official statement about the issue yet, we can only assume that it is a bug which is triggered under various circumstances.

I really hope we get some official reply soon, because I really liked to play on Dagger before I ran into the glitch.

[Miclotov]

I hate to double post, but i sent a message to Chris Priestly with a request to get this glitch investigated at least. Hopefully he replies.

[Chris Priestly]

Taking a look at the video, this is a system problem with the on board graphics card, not a problem with ME3. It occurs in older Xbox 360s and is not a game issue, but is related to hardware. Sorry.

Thank you for the reply. Too bad it's a hardware issue. With the new console generation just waiting around the corner I won't buy me a new Xbox360.
