Great now checkers, is there really any reasons as to why my game keeps freezing? I've read a few topics in search where old worlds freeze due to the new update but my new world keeps freezing and it's getting really annoying and as I'm typing this and resetting the 360 it keeps crashing.

And I'm not even sure if I can blame the system since I couldbe playing Doom 3 for a long ass time like an hour or 3 minutes no issue but as soon as I boot up Minecraft for like 20 seconds it crashes.

Maybe try clearing the cache in your files.

Yeah I've done both of those, I've deleted and redownloaded the game, I've cleared the cache a few times, and I'm playing the game offline now AND I've copied all the HDD data to my thumb drive.

Interesting, I've put in 10+ hours on my new world and haven't had a problem. Maybe it's an issue with your client. Have you tried deleting MCXBLA and re-downloading it?

I've put far beyond 10 hours into my world and have only had one or two occurences with freezing... Probably personal issue that 4j wouldn't be able to control. Complainers complainin'.

single unit failure.

Initial suspect is the machine and its configuration.

Note that Doom3 may not be exercising the system the same way that MC360 is. Though it is reasonable to assume 2 video games use mostly the same hardware and stress it comparably.

It could also be your game world itself that is doing it. Feasible, since your world will be different from other people's.

You could have a ton of redstone machinery that causes the processor stress to handle.

Naw naw naw we have no red stone up yet in my world so I' guessing maybe the save is corrupt. I'm going to test out other games that are on the HDD but for the most part I've tested this on the HDD and the Flash drive.

I might try the same world on creative mode on a new save to see if it craps out again.

So far recreating the world in creative also crashed it, I'm so mad at it right now so I'm testing other 360 games like Battlefield 1943 (since it's online heavy and really can bug out sometimes) and so far nothing is crashing.

well, you've swapped out storage (HDD vs thumb drive)

You could swap out xboxes (less trivial). Take your thumb drive to another box and play. See if it crashes.

If it doesn't that would imply a component on your xbox is faulty and causing the problem (like an early sign of RRoD, a part gets hot and freezes)

You could also disconnect the network. incoming network traffic (say xbox live notifications about friends) have gummed up my rig while booting the game, launching a party, and trying to click a game invite. This isn't a likely cause of your crash, but it's easy to rule out.

the stuff I'm listing here is to rule out things you can control. if MC360 has a bug, you can't fix it. You might not even be able to definitively blame them (it's not precisely reproducible as in "If I do this right now, it will crash"). But if its one of the things I list here, you've effectively root caused it to a part that you can replace.

Yeah I swapped the HDD onto another 360 and lo and behold no crashing.

But it still bugs me since it only seems to do it on this 360 and with this game and that fast.

Weird, maybe it happens to some people and some other people don't freeze as often. I have only froze twice in the update. Usually playing offline while deleting all black chests and breaking all the signs will stop this problem.

Well I wonder if it's haf and half really because it only does it to Minecraft. 1943 did freeze but it took a while, but Minecraft does it in about 20 seconds.

Well it crashes offline too and the only major work is at our center village, I guess the Xbox is just getting too old to be able to handle this game.
