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

Did all of this. Even randomly saw some one on another thread suggest unnplugging all USB devices. It did not help.

Yesterday, after clearing my cache, i got about 1.5 games in before it happened. I backed out to the Titanfall main screen and that too was just a pixelated mess. I backed out to the xbox home. cleared my cache. Started up titanfall, it again started to "optimize hd content" when done, everything looked good again. For about 1 game. Then it became a colorful wonderland of pixels, frustration and sadness.
I feel you man... hope they find the source of this soon so they can release a patch for it or give us a refund ☹️ But I really hope that a patch can fix this ☹️

That's my feeling now. If it was patchable, I'd be elated. I just want someone to treat it like the problem exists and say so. I've been passed around like a hot potato from Respawn to XboxSupport to EA and back again and I just keep getting nowhere without someone once admitting that the issue exists. If someone would simply say "I hear ya, we are working on it." I'd feel better. But between Titanfall TitanFAILing me, and the clusterf#@k Battlefield multiplayer was, I may just have to stop giving EA my money.

Again.. I totally feel you.. Been pushed around too, Respawn, Microsoft and EA. And I agree, I just want to know if they're working on it, then i'll be relieved and patient.. but if they don't communicate with us, the community, then I'm kinda worried.. But I think a moderator here said that he would pass the info to someone..
Anyway, i hope we'll hear someting soon

Has one of you tried to format your HD drive yet? While this workaround can be a little bit of a hazzle (back up your data first etc.) it would be interesting to know if one of you has this issue still after cleaning the whole hard drive. I want to say thanks for all your data and can understand that you want to get an update. We will keep you updated as soon as we have some news.

Cheers

I too have reformatted my HD completely. I have two, a 120GB and a 20GB. I formatted the 20GB and tried everything from scratch - worked for about 1.5 games.
I am also running an original 360 with the HD Component cable ( the green, red, blue connections). As i mentioned in a previous post, I have even tried unplugging the cable from the back of the xbox in the middle of the texture glitch, then plugged the cables back in and had no success.

EA_Bastian, this outlines everything I did after we first spoke a few days ago. Including reformatting a hard drive. Quitting before training, etc. Just trying to keep a running record of all my actions. I'm on 1stGen360 - HD component cables - Panasonic Plasma TV

------------- (From a Previous Post) ---------------

OK, EA Bastian, here is what I did.

Popped in a new HD. Clean, reformatted 60 gb. Started from scratch with everything. Removed any other components withing a 3ft radius. Put in Titanfall, downloaded update. It began "optimizing hd content." Changed options to 30hz. Started training, did not complete training. Played 2 games with no issue. Shut down.

Restarted, it did not say it was optimizing hd content for the first time ever. Hooray! Played 2 games, no problem. Shut down.

Restarted, it did not say it was optimizing hd content. 1/2 way through 1st game, everything went wonky and textures broke down. Shut down.

Restarted, it now said it WAS optimizing hd content, 1/2 way though the 1st game, everything broke down. Then I broke down, weeping uncontrollably.

I couldn't have started any cleaner. I really hoped it would have fixed it, but it didn't. I'm at a total loss now. Any ideas?

Here are some YouTube vids to show you:

This is ingame:

Also let me note that the ''no-training'' method doesn't work for me anymore, The game will screw up after 1-3 games

I like that your video shows how everything starts normal and suddenly starts to transform to technicolor wonderland for seemingly no reason at all. Perfect example. All too familiar.

your not alone, clearly there is a bug in the game, someone somewhere i hope will fix this bug that makes the game completely unplayable.
its also worth mentioning that its only the game that gets the rainbow texture pixelation. when i open the xbox menu to return to dashboard, that menu is crystal clear, no rainbow texture pixelation, and the dashboard is fine as well.
1st gen xbox 360, component cables. pretty sure its safe to say im running the same setup as everyone else whos having this problem.
thanks you guys who posted vids and pics of this. if i can i will do the same.
