Game freezing

[kav]

Hi all,

I finished off The Pitt over the weekend, and headed back to Megaton to sort out all the extra goodies I'd gotten a hold of. After this, I thought I would do a bit of exploring to some areas I've not yet been to.

The closest place to Megaton that I haven't visited is Fort Independence, which is right next to Fairfax Ruins. However, when I tried fast travelling to Fairfax Ruins, the game freezes on the loading screen...very annoying. Okay, I thought, I'll just travel directly to it, but it turns out that when I even get into the vicinity of these locations, the game just freezes and the 360 needs to get turned off and back on.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Do you think I just need to clear my cache, or could it be something more sinister?

If anyone who owns the three DLC happens to be playing, I'd appreciate if you could have a look in this area and see if this is a problem for others, or if it's just my game that's screwed up. Thanks.

Clear the cache, mainly because I had freezing problems in the past. However that was sorted, once I cleared the cache once or a couple of times.

Cheers TVR - didn't want to go to the hassle of clearing the full 360 cache, so I just cleared Fallout 3's cache using LB + RB + X while the game was loading, and that seems to have done the trick.

what does it do to the clear the cache? do you lose anything, or is it basically a defrag like you would a pc?

I've only ever cleared my cache (sounds a bit rude) once, it cleared out all the updates you recieve for games over the internet, i guess yeah it is like defragging a pc but more like clearing your browsing history which is not a bad thing. Once you've done this and then play a game, any updates you previously had are then downloaded again.
