Error occurred. Press ok to return to start screen

[Rouge Baron]

Hi All,

I am getting desperate. I bought IL-2 for the xbox 360. Four times out five I start a mission or play online, I get the above error and the game restarts. This happens when it loads the mission start screen or the mission end stats screen. It has happened once during a game when I opened the friends tab.

A lot of ground objects like ships, artillery positions and tanks, and also the pilots (in third view) get messed up colorwise (pink and green).
I tried installing the game to the hard disk several times, but with this approach, the xbox freezes every time I start the game from the disk.

This error occurs even if the hard disk is not plugged into the xbox. Hence, it is not disk related issue like caching.

I recently replaced the laser on the cd and it plays other highly scratched disks like my COD4 disk without problem.

I have extra ventilation fans on the outside to help cooling and replaced the xclamps with another kit to help cooling but to no avail.

I exchanged the original disk but the second one has the same problem.

This is the only game I have problems with. I have had no issues at all with any other game. The frustrating part is when you have completed a mission and just before it displays the stats it restarts. I have to keep repeating missions 3-4 times to complete them. Also, I have to wait 5-15 minutes online and when the game starts, it is the error screen all over.

Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks.
