Pinball FX 2 crashing issues

[BarbieBobomb]

I've had one crash occurrence with myself, it was at the bit at the end where it's totting up the scores etc., only thing I could say that might have had something to do with it is I made a huge leap up the leader board and indeed when it was about to visual the move up is when it bombed out, an additional thing I noticed is I wasn't showing at the bottom of the leader board ready to show the move up, it a was duplicate entry instead, in this case the player at 5th position.

Fortunately it didn't completely kill out the game and my score came away intact.

Are you also part of the preview program that others have mentioned above? Let me know

Pinball FX2 crash

This has happened to me as well. I was in the middle of the game (doing rather well,I might add ) , when the game froze with a loud buzz. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but to no avail. When I load it up, it gets to the ESRB screen, then goes back to the dashboard. I am a member of the preview program as well., if that makes a difference.

Sorry yes, I am part of the preview program.

This is the weird thing, I'm also a member of the preview program (1409 now), and have only ever had one mid-game crash.

Greetings,

Just a FYI.

I am also in the preview program and have had no issues at all, with the game crashing etc, other than a single instance of the game stuttering once and it's not happened since.

Ok Barbie, I have an update for you. I was able to get the game working again by:

1: Go to Settings
2: Go to System
3: Clear local game saves.

People won't lose their place in Xbox One games because all your saves are on the cloud! (Thank God)
When I booted back up, FX2 came up. I played a full game of Paranormal (55 mil) and no issues.

This might not be a permanent fix as to what's causing everyone's buzz crash but it did get me going for now.

Here's an oddity, when I brought FX2 back up for the first time, under the Zen Original tables list, at the bottom
were three of the oldies Zen hasn't transferred yet, (Excalibur, Earth Defense) etc. the icons were grayed out then
2 seconds later they disappeared like they weren't suppose to show up yet. Very odd indeed.

Until Zen figures out what's causing the crashes in the first place. I hope this technique will at least get people up and running
again.

Good Luck,

SBVIPER

YAY thanks for letting me know!

Greetings, my pinhead Brother! Welcome to the forums and Cheers to you as well.

Glad you got your game working.

well, i didnt try the "clear cache" thing yet but if i uninstall all my tables (i own 12 packs) the game is not crashing anymore.

I think i ll try to install each table one by one to check which one is causing troubles.

Thought I would mention that it has crashed on me again, again same position with significant movement up the leader board, showed positions 1-4 and then me in 10th which was my old position, my new position being 7th and when it came to showing my movement up the board my name and score slowly moved down and bam, back to dash.

XB1 Pinball FX ((( non working / Crashes )))

Well aware and investigating - just because you don't get a response right away doesn't mean we aren't listening!

I contacted Microsoft / XBOX Division.., and was referred to here. All My games and Apps work 100% fine on my XB1 Except ((( Pinball FX 2 ))).

The game loads and says PRESS ( A ) Button to Start.., Been there.., done that...

Then XB1 asks me to select Profile to play the game.., Only My Profile on My XB1.., thus.., I selected my Profile...

Then it goes to the Pinball FX 2 Loading Profile screen and simply Freezes up and a couple of seconds later returns me back to my XB1's Home page...

I've done everything I can think of: Uninstalling, Resetting my console, Deleting all my game saves.., I'm out of ideas...

Does anyone have a solution ???

PLEASE HELP ...

Have you tried a factory reset? Bit drastic, especially if you don't have your games stored on an external HDD, but it's an option.

I've already been informed that if only one Game or App is not working but all the rest of your Games and Apps work fine.., then RESTORING your console to the factory settings will not solve the problem.

The issue simply is the Programming within the one Game or App that is having problems.

This game randomly kicks me back to dashboard as well at the first logo (the big logo with the several characters and a pinball layout in the background). Once it passes that graphic and shows the Zen Studios logo, it's smooth sailing from there.
