Getting booted to the dashboard.

I just bought this and when I choose to start game, it shows what the autosave icon loos like, then the screen goes black and I get booted to the dashboard. I tried multiple time to the same result. I even deleted and re downloaded the game. So now I can't play the game I just purchased. I had no problems with the demo.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can I fix this or am I screwed over?

I have not experienced this, but you could try clearing your cache and then re-downloading.

Ok, i'll try the cache thing out. Never had to do that before, hope I don't mess anything up.

Those are not as bad. Only happens to them sometimes, I can't even play the game and i've tried several times. Still sucks that it happens at all.

@ImmortalSaiyan: The only thing deleting the cache will do is you will have to redownload patches for games and that is about it. Hopefully this gets fixed.

Always make sure to hit a save point before crafting. I've had the game crap out on me half a dozen times when trying to build items.

I had this same issue a few times one was right after I beat a boss :(

I'm having this problem too, asked around and nobody's helped yet. I've done everything possible to fix it but nothing works. I bought it on the 14th and still can't play my game.

Game killing bug.

I had this issue happen to me once, luckily i'd saved recently but it was annoying, sucks that this seems to be a reoccurring problem, hope it's patched, but considering the nature of this game, I don't expect it to.
