I was having the problem where everytime I tried to play the single player game the game locked up solid and I had to turn off my 360.

What I did to clear it up.

I played all the other 360 Games I own then headed back into Chromehounds and the game is no longer freezing.

I do not know if this is the cure or if it will clear it up for everyone but its worth a try.

I played a total of 8 360 games. For about 2 Minutes each. I made sure to load every game up and get right into a game not just access the menus.

Things that I do on my system that might be different for then the general public. I'm running Windows Media Connect on my computer so I can stream my MP3s to my 360 for a custom sound track, because of this I am access the 360s Dashboard often opening and closing.

The reason I thought to try this is I also own NHL 2K6 which was known for freezing often. Rumor was that if you accessed the dashboard when the game was trying to access the hard drive something would get corrupt and the game would freeze after every game and would become unplayable. The same trick worked for me with that game and cleared up the problem and I was extra careful not to access the Dashboard while playing the game and if I did I tried to make sure the game was not doing anything and the problem did not happen again.

I'm not saying this is the end all cure to it but its worth a shot. Good Luck all.

Tech Support if you wish any further details about my problems or configuration please feel free to contact me.

that clears the cache thats why it works and i think you only need to go through 5 games

You can clear cache using a secret code in the dashboard also. I cleared it on mine, but it wasn't much of help. The game still froze no matter what.

Looks like I spoke to soon. Single player game was working right up until my Xbox 360 died. I'm not getting the flashing red ring of light when I try to turn it on.

Anyone who is experiencing the freezing and crashing affect should no longer play Chromehounds until the issue is resolved. Playing the game could result in more and possibly permanent damage to the system!

I have turned in my broken system for a new one with my extended warranty and will not be playing the game on the new one until these issues are fixed. It isn't worth the risk guys for just one game!
