Crash to xbox series x dashbord.

Product: NHL 23
Platform:Xbox Series X
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Tigidooh
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Mostly when backing out or joining/or inviting a friend in a dressing room in drop in. (mostly). Also happened during the replay between the second and third period and on a handful of other rare occasion such as backing out to the dressing room after a game end and such...
What happens when the bug occurs? Game close entirely out to the xbox dashbord.
What do you expect to see? No crash, as expected.
Was the issue in online or offline mode? Online
Insert Game Mode or Feature here Chel 6s and 3s drop in.
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) only played late night after 11pm east time. (Don't think it really matter though).
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
EASHL issues? Please insert your Club Region. No club.
What is your game language? French

All of the crashes occured after the latest patch (friday (22/11/18) and saturday (22/11/19) night), I would say near a dozen of times. Fortunatly, it happened only once between the second and third intermission of a game. All of the other crashes happened while joining/quitting or inviting a friend to a dressing room essentially. Maybe a handful of occasion while backing out of a lobby to the dressing room.

I will add that the person I invited to play with me is my brother who has a shared xbox with me (my home xbox is on his xbox and vice-versa). I'm mentioning this because on a good few times we both crashed back to the xbox dashbord simultanously (I was in a dressing room, sent him an invite and at the very moment he accepted the invite, boom both game crashed). It also happened a few more times for no clear reasons such as both leaving the dressing room and both crash simoultanously. It was kinda weird as I've never seen the game of two different person crash at the very same time before that many times in such a short timespan. So maybe the shared xbox thing as something to do with it?

    I think this is related to gamesharing. I've seen this happen in the past. Unfortunately, that's not something we can help with.

    @EA_Aljo  Hey there, 

    Just a quick update after playing several hours this weekend, good news, I didn't encountered any crashes or anything outside the usuals little bugs.

    Thanks for the help! Case closed!  🙌

    As aslways, yes! Hard to tell exactly what happened that one weekend, guess it really had something to do with the gamesharing or the game ooor both and the timing with the patch was something else.  Possibly just a big bad timed coincidence, I don't know.

    But what I know is it worked great this time around this weekend and trust me, I tested it big time, so its all good now!  Hopefully I won't have to deal with it again in a near future.

    I did all the reboot and small change you suggested. Can't say if its really what resolved the issue but it seemed to help in the end of the day.

    Thanks again Aljo, have a good day 

  • This has nothing to do with game sharing I get the same issue and I don’t game share. Every time I try to play a simple play now game. If I try to change jerseys… game crash to Home Screen. If I don’t change jerseys and power through it… game crash to Home Screen before the game starts. I can play ones no problem. But tried to create a team… game crashed to home. I have reinstalled the game 3-4 times. I have power cycles everything. The game was made like *. Which like how? You’ve been making the game for over 20+ years. We spent a lot of money on these games for them not to work.

    Hello, @humongusfungus93 

    Are you always trying to change to the same jersey when it crashes? If so, try changing to a different jersey instead. If that doesn't help, try clearing the personal saved data for NHL 23. To do that, press the Guide button and then highlight the NHL 23 tile. Then, hit the Menu button. It's the small one to the right of the Guide button with 3 horizontal lines on it. Next, go to Manage game and add-ons > Saved data. Delete the file with your gamertag on it. There is the risk of losing offline saves and changes to settings you've made. Normally, those download from the cloud, but I can't guarantee this. Let me know what happens. Thanks!

  • Nope still crashing. Doesn’t matter what jersey I pick. I also deleted the personal data. Still crashing. Game freezes and quits to Home Screen.

    Please try these suggestions -

    Clear persistent storage -

    • Press the Guide button on your controller
    • Go to Settings > Devices & connections > Blu-ray > Persistent storage
    • Hit Clear Persistent Storage

    Also, Clear your alternate MAC address with these steps -

    • Go to your Xbox Settings
    • Go to "Network", then "Advanced Network Settings"
    • Click on "Alternate MAC Address", and then click "Clear"

    Power cycle your console by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. Then, unplug the power cord for at least 10 seconds. Plug back in and start up your console.

    Let me know if that helps or not. Thanks!
