I was worried about getting the update hearing about all these problems. But yesterday I decided to download it anyways and play and I haven't had any single problem. Weird how some people do and some do.

sure i suppose.  log on to Xbox Live and download the NG2 content (without the game in of course).  then when you're done, log off then put NG2 in and play.

nm...found the answer in another thread.  For anyone else who was unsure, you have to have the latest update in order to play mm.

Or see Deaconblade's post above...

For what it's worth I did the "recover your gamertag" trick and it worked for me.

I only unlocked one DLC achievement (first medal in survival mode) but it cocked everything up for me. I downloaded the newest mission mode fix, recovered my gamertag and was surprised to find the achievement was nowhere in my profile. I booted up NG2 and went into mission mode, and lo and behold the achievement unlocked once more and it actually took (as you can see in my gamercard)

I'm still very confused. Is the DLC back on marketplace and we can now resume playing with their update?

Any help is appreciated.

I was just at Temco's site....they have ZERO information for us as far as I could tell.  I posted in their forums basically scolding them for their total lack of information.  My xbox is RRoD right now so I can't get anything, anyway, but it's still annoying me.

So if I did not get the update (last day I played was saturday) I could just disconnect from live and play and I should be fine until all is settled?

Oh My Bejeezus!!!!  I just sent an email to "webmaster@temcoinc.com".  This is the address they on their "contact us" link.  I got an immediate response from my email's webmaster that the address doesn't work.  I have this vision of Temco employees sitting in a dark room with their hands over their ears and verbalizing "LA LA LA LA LA LA".....I am impressed by their ability to slouch from every angle.  Amazing.

It might work better for you if you spell the company's name right.  Just throwin' that out there.  Not sure if you're dyslexic or something, but it's TECMO, not TEMCO.

Live and Learn Life is a lesson and i'm the teacher

So the DLC was back up again when I checked at 3:00 last night, is the auto-update fixed?  I would check but I need to wait a week for paycheck anyway, for more MSpoints for the DLC, I may try the auto-update and see if I can finnish my tonfa game. I'm at the dagra-di part just like everyone else waiting to upload my score...

Wait til you get to chapters 10,12, 13, 14.  There are a couple cutscenes spread across those chapters that are the main problem.  On chapter 14 there is a major one that makes it impossible to beat the game with the update installed because you can't skip the scene.

---

Play on Steam? Look me up.

Ditto.  You can't finish the game with the auto-update installed.  If you elect not to take the update, then you can't upload your score when you finish the game.  Catch-22 baby!  This needs to get fixed yesterday!

This is becoming frustrating now maybe I shouldn't stick up for the testers and what not, but I'm also a big fan of COMMUNICATION!  ETA even if they say it'll possibly be a week or two... then again with bugs estimates are hard.

Just as I said in a different thread, this is becoming frustrating to me. If you want to release new content and you want more money for it, then make sure it works, and it doesn't break the game you already had me forking over money for.  I have no problem paying, but with paying for something broken.
Take all the time you need to fix it, there really is no rush, but please release the product when its finished and tested, and try to keep the (paying) consumer at least somewhat informed. 

It seemed to work with Burnout Paradise, where the patch that caused framerate issues was taken off the server, the game reverted to its original state and a good month later re-released in a working condition. So why does this not work with Ninja Gaiden 2? My guess: because they want to release the (money making) DL as fast as possible and work on the (free) patch later...

Microsoft's "rigorous" certification strikes again. Gotta wonder what they test seriously.

 

I'm planning on getting the game this weekend. Hearing about this issue isn't sounding good. Do we have any idea when it'l be sorted? To anyone who does not come on forums - general consumers, who purchase the game and find it locks up will just become pissed off and return it.

Well, I guess that's the reason why I haven't seen any problems.

The cutscene before the Dagra Dai fight froze on me as well with the symptoms of black screen and vibrating controller.  Earlier in the game, as I was fighting the Centaurs in the blood floor room before Elizabet, the game froze as I entered that room. 

 

Upsetting.  But I can live.

Yeah, I had no problems in chapter 8 and 9, but starting with a cutscene in chapter 10 the game froze on me.

Well, you can be pissed off as much as you'd like really, but there ain't a store around that would ever just take back the game and give you your money back.
In supermarket type retail stores your goose is cooked from the get-go, in game speciality stores you may get lucky and they could offer you a replacement game thinking it's the disc or if they actually know about the situation (which would be normal if they have two or three complaints) they'll just tell you to wait it out.

Chapter 13 cutscene at the beginning of the level, he opens the big door the screen goes white and the controller vibrates. Tried 3 times now.

Is it just me? Or is this all to odd?

The first update for NG2 and it's all messed up. Story mode is messed up. Mission Mode is messed up as well. Are you telling me that Tecmo can't get anything right, unless Itagaki-san is there? I really think MS and Tecmo need to get this together. I bought the download and it messed up from day ONE! I'm waiting to hear the update and MM is working great (no buts). If I don't hear this in a week? I'm asking for my points back...This is a LEMON PRODUCT!! at this point. 

It looks like a fall in Tecmo stocks and employee layoffs are not to far behind.

just thought i`d share my relief that my game freezing after the first achievement unlock whilst playing the mission mode is not an isolated issue it seems. customer support promised to call me within 48 hours with an update on their investigation. i await their call.

just to clarify, a blade keeps popping out of the right hand side of my screen saying the storage device containing the active profile is disconnected when it clearly isnt.

ryui yori

update: many thanks to McPhersonator for the workaround. I decided 20 quid for a memory unit was better than waiting for microsoft to get around to fixing the 'storage device containing active gamer profile is disconnected' issue, if it was even fixable. i'm pretty sure switching off my xbox while it was attempting to communicate with the leaderboards (my game froze after unlocking the first dlc achievement on 25/07) corrupted my gamer profile in some way. so i bit the bullet and bought a memory unit, backed up my corrupted profile, deleted it from HDD, emptied HDD cache, and recovered my gamertag from xbox live. on booting up Ninja Gaiden, and downloading the update again, I was still getting the profile error message, but after a couple of clicks, the achievement i had unlocked 5 days previously finally registered on live, and my game seems fine now. live was very sluggish last night, but i put that down to my internet connection.....i'll monitor that over the coming days.

again, many thanks McPhersonator.

Boosting is pitiful.

kinda off subject, but it's kinda sad. all the people on the forums have been really helpfull, but the companie that caused it doesn't give a **** about it( or atleast they don't seem to let us know!).... lol

Just go through this topic a bit and you'll see that it's all been extensively mentioned here with every possible detail you'd probably need.
