    I have the same probs. IGR is disabled in EvoX. The game starts up very slowly and fails to continue after the intro movie. Who can help me out?

    Btw, I startup EvoX dash from a CD, but I can't save any changed settings. Is that correct? (I messed up by an autoinstall of Xbox Live!, so I start up from a CD atm)

    I'd recommend you fix your evox dash so that you can boot off the HD. I'm afraid one of the settings is snagging the code, and you can't save because a CD is read only! You should just be able to copy over a clean copy of xboxdash.xbe using FTP, or a bootable CD with boXplorer.

    Another option is that you have a bad copy, or you are missing some files. If your copy is complete, there is no question that it will run on your box.

    If you'd like, I can send you a copy of the evox.ini file, but as long as you are booting off a CD, you won't be able to change yours.

    Good luck.

    Thx securd. I will first reinstall EvoX and try. Btw. The settings I see now are:
    IGR is off
    RD Tools is disabled
    TSR is disabled
    And the game won't work

    I think I have found the problem fix here. I was having troubles also with the game looping back to the loading screen. It would load approx. 90% then the screen would be all messed up then it would go back to try and load again, but anyway this is what I did and it worked great.

    If you have a modded xbox and are able to get the game to your hard drive then do this:

    ftp to the xbox and open up the game in ftp.

    find the file named: dashupdate.xbe and deleted it.

    yes that is what i said: DELETE THE FILE.

    I did this and it worked great.

    No it shouldn't, that is how i deleted the file. Did you turn off the IGR in you dashboard too. As it posts earlier says to do so.

    Also you may want to clear out any cache files on the x,y or z folders.

    all i can say is it fixed the game that i have.

    Yeah it is in evox. Just boot to the evox dashboard and go to system utilities then settings.
    Scroll down the list till you see IGR then set it to no.

    Don't forget to save and exit. If you just exit then it won't save the changes.

    LMK if it works for you.

    ...and when you are looking through the settings to set "In Game Reset" (IGR) to NO, scroll through all the System Settings -- there are several settings, and the one that really matters is the LAST one!

    In case you are puzzled by IGR, what it does is install a vector that sniffs the the controller while you are playing a game. When it detects Left Trigger, Right Trigger, Back, and Start actuated at the same time, it resets the XBox. Which is really handy if you are too lazy to get up and walk over to the Box to physically hit the power switch. But unfortunately several games choke on the non-standard vector.

    I believe the only real fix for this is a patch which I don't believe is out there yet. I've tried everything described in these posts to get this bloody game to work to no avail. guess i'll just have to keep searching google for an irc or bit torrent downloadable patch for SORM.

    Well at least I have helped at least one person.

    That alone was worth the time and effort to post what I thought was the for sure cure.
