L4D Shows black and pink cubes?

[SickNinjaKiller]

My L4D got scratched and it has pretty deep scratches.Wondering if i should get it cleaned at hollywoord videos for like 5 bucks nad if that doesnst fix it sell GH3,F.e.a.r.,The Orange Box,GTA IV,and gears of war for a new one.

Anyone help?

[Milenkov]

I'd clean it with the disc cleaner, It helped with my friends Gears of War.

[one of them]

On pc it means a graphics error (textures). I would clean the disk and make sure you Xbox isn't overheating.

[SickNinjaKiller]

My xbox wasnt overheating,was playing and the xbox(Vertical,self-explained)tipped and scratched it,almost a full circle.

[one of them]

Definitely it then.
You can get it cleaned mostly anywhere.

[SickNinjaKiller]

You sure?

Looks light pretty deep scratches.

Ill try to post pic.

The circular scratch that comes from the Xbox tipping is usually fatal for the disc, unless you can get a disc repair kit

Thats my sister helping me position it outside so you could see the scratches.
Lol.

Yeah, unless you can see the scratches on the top of the disc, cleaning it should help. If not, I'd sell F.E.A.R. and GoW for a new one.

Did you rent the game and then switched the discs or did you just ask them or something.

[Gurney]

He rented the game and switched the discs

My cousin had a similar problem with a scratch. He installed the game to his x360 hard drive using a friend's disc and hasn't had any problems since.

[SickNinjaKiller]

Hahahah,im only going to have 5 gb left on my hard rive if i install it.

[Mavcev]

i know exactly what happened... this happened to me as well. your laser in the disk tray scratched a perfect circle into your disk... on left 4 dead, that effects the graphics section. cleaning it will not help because it is a big scratch not a small one. with me i get the pink squares, rainbow graphics on walls and survivers, aand longer loading times. but the game is still playable. the question is can you live with it or do you want to buy a anew one

[shadowstreak]

5gb? That's a lot! What are you going to use the rest for anyways?

[l4dfan]

that's actually quite a lot of free space after the fact, compared to me at least... i just had to delete my metallica album for guitar hero just to fit tales of vesperia on the hard drive. :(

[one of them]

Oh, laser scratches. Did you tip the box over while it was running or something? Either install, or get a new disk.

[teh DG]

There may be another option.

Check the back of the manual. L4D is distributed by EA who (when they publish games at least) will replace the disk for a new one. That might apply for games they don't publish but do distribute.

But, dunno how long it would take and they will charge you "cost" (£10 for UK).
