    My back-up of shadow ops: red mercury will make it to the title screen, but when you load a campaign, it freezes up after a few seconds, with the progress bar frozen at about 10%. Same thing happens when I play it from the hd as well. I do not have this problem with other back-ups, and this has the same issue on another modded xbox. I'm running a xenium chip, 120 g hd, evox-m7 bios. Thanks in advance for your help, I hope I posted this in the right forum.

    perhaps a bad backup? You could try and remake it; see if that works.

    nope, tried again but to no avail. Doublechecked original and back-ups both on two different modded xboxs. Bios issue?

    Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having the same problem -- game will play from the DVD with orig. bios, but fritzes while Campaign loads when I use Evox bios.

    is it a reletively new game (sorry for the ignorance)? Perhaps it needs to be patched...

    I agree -- I'm sure it needs to be patched. It is a relatively new game, so there may be a new media check (or something similar) embedded in the code. We may have to crack that baby in order to back it up... I'm gonna play with it this week to see what I can find.

    Found the problem. The game was tripping over a bios vector. So go to System Settings and disable RD Tools and In Game Reset (there are several places to change to "NO" for IGR). Don't forget to save settings at the bottom of the Settings screen, reboot, then run your backup. It should work.

    Slight overreaction -- actually the only In Game Reset you need to turn off in System Settings is the last one (the Misc. category, if you use the Evox dash).

    Let me know if you have any other problems...

    thanks, securd...!

    I googled to find a fix to this problem and this was the only thing that described and fixed what I was having trouble with.

    registered here for the soul purpose of thanking you!

    When you disable In Game Reset, make sure you SAVE settings after setting it to NO... Depending on which dash you are using, it usually won't save the setting unless you specifically tell it to do so. Also make sure you look for ALL the In Game Reset settings -- you might be missing the primary one.

    Hey, you're welcome. Virtue is its own reward (and so is tracing a nasty piece of code...) Have fun.

    Will the original DVD play? Is it failing from DVD backup media, or the hard drive? At what point does it fail, and how does it fail? Any other mods on your box? Its hard to help you without more info.
