Disc Unreadable Error while installed.


(Avisole) #1

Here is exactly what the error says:

Game Error

This disc is unreadable.

  1. Clean the disc with a soft cloth.
  2. Restart the console.

I get this error sometimes before I make it to the menu screen, but 100% of the time within 5 minutes of starting the game. 95% of the time I can’t even get past the character select screen. I made it to the tutorial video once, then it instantly gave me the error again once the video finished. This is happening while the game is installed.

Things I have tried:

  1. I figured maybe it was my Xbox. Nope, I played a game of Battlefield: BC2 and got no errors. Some the Xbox is not to blame.

  2. I cleared my Xbox cache thinking it may have been a faulty installed patch. Nope, still get the error after downloading the patch again.

  3. I figured maybe my initial install went bad, deleted and reinstalled. Still get the error.

  4. I did what the error screen told me to do (clean the disc and restart Xbox). Nope, that didn’t work.

  5. I inspected the disc, I’m no expert, but the appearance of the disc looks normal. No chips, scratches, etc.

However, I have played for about an hour or two while the game is being read straight from the disc (not installed) and it appears the error does not happen then.

Thanks.

This probably isn’t something SD can fix… I’d suggest taking it back if you’re 100% sure that it only happens with Brink. It could also be a sign that your DVD drive is about to fail.
