Anyone else experiencing problems with From Dust overheating their Xbox?
I was playing games all last night with no problems whatsoever, and my console has only overheated once in the past due to it flat-out being too hot in my room. Now when I play From Dust for an extended period of time my console will overheat and shut off. I can switch it on after letting it rest for about 2 minutes and it's fine and the case doesn't feel warm at all. I cleaned where my Xbox stands (vertically) and vacuumed the outside of the console in hopes of dislodging any dust but it hasn't helped.
Anyone else had similar problems since playing From Dust? I've read all the info about how to avoid your Xbox overheating, but I don't think my Xbox is to blame.
From Dust
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Jul 27, 2011
As a benevolent god known as 'the Breath', players must lead their people to safety and help them retrieve the lost knowledge of their ancestors by manipulating the shape of the terrain of the world in this spiritual successor to Populous.
Overheating?
@sensory: You might want to take the Xbox apart and vacuum the inside. It's not difficult to do, and it solved my overheating issues that I used to have. If you've had your console for a long time and haven't cleaned the inside, it's definitely filled with dust that will cause the overheating.
It does this exact thing for me too, I thought buying the full game might fix the issue but nope, just wasted my money.I don't know if it was from overheating, but it took forever to load, stuttered at times and at the end of the second level the screen went black and the x-box stopped responding. Never experienced this before.
At least we know it isn't a hardware issue, because a few people on various forums are reporting this, no sign of a fix yet though.

I've tried doing a Google search for similar issues with From Dust, but no luck.
There still doesn't look to be any fix and I couldn't contact Ubisoft support because the website kept giving me an error page.
It's kinda worrying that the problem seems so rare though, because that decreases the chance of seeing a fix any time soon :(
Unlike all the angered people that expected Black and White 3 and the rabid PC soldiers, I actually love this game, so it's pretty saddening that I can't play it.
