Every time I boot up Titanfall on my Xbox 360, the textures and sounds in the game get completely messed up after 1 or 2 matches. The textures on everthing either don't load all the way or turn into pixelated garbage, and the sound cuts out completely and I only hear tiny chunks of voice clips and music throughout the entire match. I tried installing the game to my hard drive, but it won't let me. (not sure how much room I need to install it) I can take a picture of what it looks like or record a small clip of video if it helps. Help would be much appreciated 🙂

I too am having this issue. I had about 10hours in game before it happened for the first time (this morning). The EA support troubleshooting advice didn't solve the crazy texturing glitches, but did help with the audio fragmentation. Just like tracsys and johnnylung, I'm running a 1st gen xbox360 that was sent to me by Microsoft after my original died from Red Ring back in 2008.I checked the unit for excess heat right as i was able to replicate the problem in-game, and it was definitely not "overheated" by xbox360 standards (believe it or not, it may even have been cooler than usual. go figure!). when I load the game after I restart the console it "Optimizes HD Content", every time. Perhaps there is something corrupted in my "HD content" file that a rewrite isn't fixing.I'm able to dashboard once the in-game texture goes to hell and the 360 homescreen looks completely fine. Why would this be the case if the GPU was the problem? wouldn't I need to hard restart the console in order to reset the GPU as well?Hopefully this is just a software glitch that can be patched and not a hardware failure. Any and all help is much appreciated. I just want to play Titanfall! it kicks so much ass.Cheers,Brian

Dude Let me guess you got the glicth during the trainning mode? What I did was I deleted the player data don't worry your lv will be there just u will restart the trainning but don't complete it that's what I did and it worked fine

Drcphd, this is a prime example of EA/Respawn incompetence. This information exists on their website yet IT DOESN'T INSTALL IT. FOR ANYONE. ANYWHERE. My friends that don't have any issues don't have this mysterious 1.2gb installed either. Mandatory or not. It's a myth. A spectre, ya might say.

If they were going to ever fix the glitch, they would have fixed it by now. I feel like I've been scammed out of 60 bucks. As good as the game is, the glitch is unbearable and unbeatable, it will never be fixed, and I doubt the developers even care or are aware of this annoying glitch.

You can't install Titanfall completely on your hard drive, only the mandatory files and the HD content. I will provide you several workarounds, please accept as a solution if one of following steps helped you to solve this issue. If not, please respond that we can look for other possible solutions. To make sure that no corrupt data causing your issue, you should clear your cache: From the dashboard, click on My Xbox. Select System Settings. Select Storage. Highlight Hard Drive Device. Press Y to select Device Options, then Clear System Cache. Reboot your console. Redownload the updates for the game. NOTE: Not all games have a Title Update File. From the Dashboard, click on My Xbox. Select System Settings. Select Storage. Select Hard Drive Device by pressing A. Select Games and Apps. Select Game Title. Delete Title Update File. Restart Game. Download the update when prompted. Cheers Basti

I have been having the exact same issue. I have done everything outlined below, a few times over, but to no avail. What I found odd was every time I started the game, I got the "Optimizing HD Content" window. Seems strange to optimize my Hard Drive content everytime. Does that happen to you Traksys?

Tonite I will be swapping out my 128GB drive, for a fresh and clean 60GB drive and doing a clean install from the ground up to see what that does. BTW I am running a 1st Gen Xbox360. A friend of mine seems to think the texture/sound breakdown has nothing to do with the game, but a heat issue. The video card getting too hot. EA_Bastian, do you think this could be the source? Heat?

This is what it ends up looking like:

It's unplayable. Unreadable.

It is hard to test the heat of your GPU on a console. Especially the first generation of the Xbox 360 consoles had heat issues which could resolved in damaging the RAM aka the known ring of death issue. You can try to setup your console "open air" as possible, without anything which could block the air-flow and try to carefully clean the console from dust. It could be the HD as well but please keep in mind that if you replace the HD, Titanfall will only be playable with an official MS Xbox hard drive.

Just from a feeling, is the console getting more "hot" while playing TF than other games?

I will check on the heat issue tonite. I never thought to "touch" it. Since it is the old one it has always felt hot. (And load as a 747, ha!) I am using an official MS Xbox HD. (Both the 128 and 60 are) I had the RRD issue about 2 years into owning the system and sent it in for warranty repair. Over the weekend I had someone take some canned air and blow out all the dust. I'll set it up without any other components around it tonite and see if the open air helps at all. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the help.

Zombie, at this point I'm willing to try anything. I'll do a clean install and not complete training. It's funny, because I did complete it the first go around. So you could be on to something. Thanks.

I too am having this same "rainbow texture" issue, as well as I have to "optimize HD content" every time.I have already taken the game back and switched it out for a new one, tried 2 different xbox hard drives, and tried the 2 different "workarounds" that EA_Bastian has suggested. I have even gone as far as to delete my profile, system cache, upload my profile and try it again to no avail.
I am running an older xbox 360 with HD component cable (not HDMI). I have tried unplugging the cable from the back of the xbox and plugging it back in during my "rainbow gameplay" and the issue is still there. If the game doesn't freeze up on me and I can finish the match, the score screen still has the rainbow colors.....but when the game pulls you back to the lobby, the interim loading photo (all the ships in space) is clear as can be -no issues.
I am currently able to play 1/2 a match perfectly, then the rainbow texture come. I have to exit to the dashboard, restart the game, optimize HD content, and then I get to play another 1/2 game before the issue returns.
So frustrated.
