Possible Corrupted Forza 4 Save?

Hey guys.  I have noticed over the last several months that my Forza 4 game locks in the loading screen whenever I try to install a tune or paint design that I bought from the Storefront, or received as a gift.  It also locks in the loading screen when I do an auto upgrade.  Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

 

Thanks!

If it is a momentary game freeze or pause, don't worry about it, happens to me too.  I noticed it has got worse and worse the more cars, tunes, and paints that I have.  As long as it is just momentary, you should be ok.  If it completely locks up and you have to turn off your xbox to clear it, then you may have a problem.

One thing that can help for all issues is clearing your HDD cache.  I have been having problems with BF3 locking up on me lately, so yesterday I cleared my cache and was able to play a 1 hour plus battle with no problems.  My best one yet, I had 105 kills/53 deaths, almost 2/1 KD.

Lawyer, if widescreen is enabled, and I know you do, it will cause this when loading paints. I have to turn widescreen off to do any serious paint work/swappage on cars when moving full designs around. Saving onto a car you're working on is unaffected. Hence why I pop into lobbies without widescreen sometimes as it's a pain to reboot after switching it on again.

Try that first buddy.

oldschool, I am back in business.  Do you have a cool Porsche livery that you want to send my way?  :)

I never have a problem saving or loading tunes when multi screen is on. I have to turn it off to load a design though.

Thanks guys.  I do have multiscreen enabled for my triple screen set up.  I will try turning on only my main Xbox and will see if the game lets me load paints and/or tunes.  If that doesn't work, I will try turning off multiscreen and will see if I can load paints and/or tunes.

Just turn it off on your main console.. load the paint.. then turn it back on again.  Trust me.

OK, will do.  I take it that means that the client Xboxes will not have to be re-set, because by the time they are back on again, multiscreen will be back on on my server Xbox?

Yessir.
They can be left on.. they will reconnect with the server xbox no problem. *thumbs up logo*

or I have a 550 , but it's kinda a raisin color with the Momo, hard to describe. You look at it and it's kinda black n yellow, but then you think, no it isn't...and I don't have a picture of it up on My Forza yet...

I would also recommend swhite014. He's done a few Porsche paints that are way better than his experience would indicate....I think we have a painting alien in the works...

I love the top one, with the darker coloring.  I already have a good paint for the Cayman.  :)
