the message you have been disconnected from xbox live switching to offline mode now and then brings me to the start menu screen. find out the reason i got disconnected was that xbox live had a new update. GG

Best thing about this is that the update actually does nothing on our end.

Was just waiting on this thread! Same thing happened to me, but with a black knight. Not a big deal but still really kinda annoying...

Same thing happened to me as I was being stabbed to death by Skeletor. Reloaded the save and I was literally right there again, continuing the death animation. I was like

()U)(U#)($U(#U$)(#U$#$U()

And that's not even audible!

They probably fixed the disconnect trick from Demons Souls because it doesn't seem to save a little before but rather like right then and there whenever you've disconnected.
