XBOX, dirty or damaged disc error

by **JeffW** on Mon Oct 20, 2003 10:16 pm

Everytime I play the game, I get the dreaded "Dirty or Damaged disc" error. I went to EA's site and they say that a corrupt save file may be the cause. I deleted all saved files, and booted up the game again without saving anything. The error seems to occur if I pause the game for at least 10 minutes. The disc looks pretty clean with little or no scratch marks.

Could this be a problem with my XBOX ? Everything else runs perfectly fine. I do get some of the sound stuttering in RAW 2, but I believe that's common for everyone.

Should I trade the disc for another XBOX disc ? I also have a PS2 that I could exchange for.

This is really just to hold me over until the PC version comes out. Then I'm trading in whatever console version I have.

Thanks for the input.

Naa this only happens with EA games. It happens in both NCAA 2003 & 2004 and I'm sure it may happen in Madden.

Shit back when NCAA 2003 came out that happened 2 me and I bought another one and it happened again and both disc were perfectly clean.

That shit is crazy annoying

Oh maybe I should get a Ps2........... Not Because ps2 has gay graphics but
some people didn't figure it out yet

Gay graphics? Please..theres so many better games for the PS2, besides, every good game that comes out for xbox will come out for pc bc they can basically directly port it..

Wait for Gran Turismo 4, that game will blow 3/4ths of the games for Xbox out of the water graphically. Probably, even more than that! And, i will also invest many hours playing it. I'm also sure there will be no PC port of the game..

Hey why won't you compare the graphics buddy
then youll see

I've seen the graphics, I know, I have a GeForce 3 card in my computer, those are the graphics of an XBox, I'm not a huge graphics guy anyway, I'm just saying Gran Turismo 4 will blow mostly anything out of the water on the X Box graphics-wise cuz they can use the PS2 to it's full potential..

Now wait whats that..oh..it's loading..oh yeah, i dont get the dirty disc error..cuz i dont have an XBOX!

How the hell are graphics gay? Come on y'all lets choose better words. Instead of gay maybe use a different word like, bad, worst, sh!tty, but damn a game's graphics can't be gay. Elton John...Gay, Graphics...Not

Oh yeah by the way xbox also loads faster than ps2 and the dirty disc
error is because their was something wrong with his system

by **Doug** on Wed Oct 22, 2003 2:23 pm

xbox sucks imo and it doesnt load faster then ps2 i tried the xbox at walmart and some games load slower then a ps2 one plus ps2 graphics dont suck either. plus xbox has more problems getting games to work then ps2 does.
