Has anyone playing on Xbox 360 been affected yet by the Shivering Isles Bug, that renders the game unplayable?

Here's the link: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:Reference_Bug

I may not even load the game at this point, until there's an official fix released.

Edit: Sorry, I suppose this can be considered as a double post, as it's quite similar to the 'should the ppl that have the bug get a new game' thread http://www.uesp.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php ... highlight=

hehe, I have heard of this deadly horrible bug. But haven't noticed anyone complaining about it. I haven't heard anything of it anywhere, from players. In accordance, maybe it's too early. I'm in about 126 hours, and I have had no problems. It was said that it'd take longer for the 360, but I haven't heard of anyone from 360 or pc as a matter a fact talk about it. Does anyone know what this "bug" even does?

I will be careful, but I'm not convinced enough to not load the game. I wouldn't worry about it pal, untill you start hearing consumer reports, and players talking about it. And even if it does start happening to everyone around. Most bugs are fixable. And the programmers should have a solution.

I had the bug; after playing SI for a couple of hours everything just started to 'break down' slowely. (As said before in a previous topic: ) First magic and fire became still in the air (casted magic just floated around me like cute lil' puffs), then quests became impossible due to freezing every 5 minutes, and along with the freezing my saves couldn't be loaded: the loading always stopped at either 25% or 75%.

After a while I couldn't even get back to Oblivion and had to delete and redownload everything (minus SI) again. (Yep; had to start ALL OVER AGAIN!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: )

So.. for some people SI can be a big problem, and for some... well; let's just say that everyone who doesn't have the bug are very lucky!

Most bugs are fixable. And the programmers should have a solution.

Let's hope so, because I'm not gonna like it if I spend 2400 point for nothing!
