The Support Forum, The Community, And You:
The Essential Guide to Asking a Question

Before you ask a question in our Problems and Errors section, we would like to ask that you make yourself familiar with the following methods of posting. In doing so you not only help us, but yourself, by making your question as clear as possible and providing all the necessary information.

Primarily, we ask that you use the respective Thread Prefix to denote the type of problem you are facing. Additionally, please attach a copy of your DXDiag to the post, this way we can be sure to have the most vital information about your system.

In the posts below you can find general help on the use of this support forum, explanations for each prefix as well as a brief tutorial on using the DxDiag feature.

Classifying Your Problem: A Brief Guide to Using the Prefixes

The Support Forum makes use of four different prefixes to keep the threads organised. These prefixes are available during the creation of a new thread, to the left of your Thread Title Bar. The four prefixes are Xbox360, Server, Graphics and Crash. The usage scenarios are as follow: Xbox360: For problems relating to the Xbox 360. Server: For problems with game servers, primarily hosting. Graphics: For problems with graphic cards and drivers. Crash: For "Game keeps crashing" type scenarios.

We get occasional requests for assistance in getting games to work that have been downloaded from warez or bit torrent sites. Our Terms of Service and Forum Rules do not allow us to assist anyone unless they have legitimately purchased the game.

We are unwilling to accept the risk and legal liability involved with doing so, and to put it bluntly, it is illegal to have a copy of any game that you did not pay for.

Even if we wanted to, there is no way we could even attempt to help you, since there is absolutely NO control over the copies of games that are posted on the various sites. When you download content from these sites, you are on your own. If you want help, you will need to go to the site that you got the game from.

We cannot help you here.
