I was just playing Merceneries: Playground of Destruction before work this morning, and just as I completed the first level (by capturing the Ace of Clubs) the Xbox froze up. I waited several minutes for the program to continue. But it never did.
When I rebooted the Xbox, all of my progress had been lost, and I was back to where I was before starting the mission. A mission which had taken me over half an hour to do.
(A little asside: I did this mission with style! There is nothing that says panache to me like stealing a T-56 tank and using it to blow everything up! But they are so hard to steal in the first place...)
Now the question is, what to do? And since I recently discovered the joys of polls:
And, no. I don't know why the big space appears above the poll.

Does Xbox HAVE a "quicksave" feature?
Posted by: Harvey at January 18, 2005 09:53 AMYou can't save at all while your doing a mission. But I did finish that one after work, and it worked fine this time.
I vote for the "hang yourself, because life just isn't worth living if that happened to you" option, but it doesn't seem to be an option.
