Crash and burn no longer!

  • Load up the game.
  • Keep mashing up on the d-pad on your controller.
  • This should allow you to bypass the screen that is crashing the game. Be careful when navigating the menus as that could crash the game again.

While the issue is frustrating, there is little else to do besides waiting for a patch to release that will address the issue and fix it. A fix for this should come swiftly as this is a pretty serious bug. Unfortunately, you will have to repeat these steps every time you launch the game.

Developers spend countless hours finding bugs and errors before a game’s release. But despite their best efforts, launch periods can still lead to some unforeseeable errors. If using the steps above doesn't seem to work, restart or power cycle your Xbox and try again. Regardless of if it works or not, you should send in a support ticket to make the developers aware and hopefully speed up a fix.
