Please update your original post so that people have a work through that actually works. As I have verified this for myself and so has the other gentlemen who wrote this work around.

As stated from previous poster.

HOW TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE FREEZE


1) Start your Xbox 360 let the game load.

2) At the "Press Start" Screen DO NOT PRESS START.

3) Press your xbox button to bring up your xbox hub ( Xbox Home/Friends/Party/Messages etc...)

4) Have one of your friends on your friends list send you an invite to a lobby/customization squad lobby (the screen that you wait for your friends to join before starting the match. where you can customize your character)

5) Accept the invite and then press start. It will load you in the customization squad lobby and you should be able to play the game just find once whoever is hosting starts the game.

Again, please post this in your original post Brock as this is a VERIFIED way to help people get around this problem. The other solution did not work for me. And I have read other posts that say it does not work for them.

Thanks,

Nick

5) Every time i loose connection to a party that im gaming with
6) Do you have DLC installed: Yes
7) Not that i'm aware of unless UPLAY awards count
8) All characters unlocked

10)Yes
11) No
12) 76 and 53 playing grfs

EDIT - Tried to re-download arctic strike and re-install it, but it still didn't work, just want to save others the time of trying that idea that i had out. the one idea that i have found to work for me is having a friend send you an invite, join the invite from the home menu of your console and join straight into their party. the original walkaround only got me to the menu, but whenver i clicked on multiplayer it brought me to the custom lobby, hooked my net back up, tried to go back and it froze on the menu.

7)yes
8)yes
9)The last session i had worked fine
10)no
11)yes
12) 100 and 54
It works with the other profile which doesnt have xbox live and it also works with my profile when it isnt connected to xbox live. i really love this game but i really think it has something to do with the ubi soft servers. I know that many complaints have been made about the servers and it would be much a appreciated it they where patched.
