The game failed to load our saved game, erasing our chapters but not our gamer achievements. Apparently a lot of people have had this problem from the multiple forums I've read. Is there anything that can be done about it, or is RE5 just a completely flawed game?

You only need to be singed in for xbox live if you want the gamer points that are worth nothing at all and to unlock achievements and get stuff for unlocking those achievements like profile pics from the game your playing and also get goodies for your aviator from the game your playing. Otherwise you dont need to be logged in to save. But if your using the cloud to save your game then yes you have to be logged in every time. You also have to be logged in to save stuff in multiplayer modes but you will be logged in anyways to play the multiplayer mode so no worries there. Hope this helps :)

Go to:
>Settings (tab furthest to the right on the Dashboard)
>System
>Memory
>HDD (if that's where you save your gamer profiles; if not, choose one of the other options that may be listed to select your storage device)
>Gamer Profiles
From there, you can see exactly how many profiles you have and there should be an on-screen prompt that should tell you how to delete them (I think you have to hit Y).

**BE ADVISED**
Deleting your gamer profiles may result in the loss of saved game data and achievements linked to them unless the profiles are backed up in the Cloud via Xbox LIVE or on an external storage device.

I hope this helps you out.

1. Go to Settings, and then select System.
2. Select Storage.
3. Select All Devices.
4. Select Gamer Profiles.
5. Select the gamertag that you want to delete.
6. Select Delete.
7. Select one of the following:
• Select Delete Profile Only. This deletes the profile but leaves saved games and achievements.
• Select Delete Profile and Items to delete the profile and the associated saved games and achievements.

if you can get a usb (at least 1 gb) and plug it into your friends xbox, you can put your gamertag profile onto the usb and then transfer it manually. this is the safest way. your usb must be configured to Windows FAT32 file system format (devices formatted for use with other file systems might not work). On your console go to my xbox then system settings, then memory. on the storage devices screen select usb storage device. select configure now (note this will erase everything on your usb) then The Xbox console tests your USB storage device to make sure it will work correctly with the console. If your device passes this test, you can use it as a USB memory unit. to get your gamer profile on there go to system settings, memory then the hard drive, select gamer profiles and move your gamer profile to the usb. you shouldnt recover your gamer tag unless you absolutely have to as any achievements or changes you have made since the account last connected to Xbox LIVE will be lost during the recovery process. once again do not recover your gamertag to a friend's console as a convenience, as you could also lose your saved games!

hope this helps

this may be caused from copying files over to another gamertag in which you wouldnt get achievements now about not saving the memory may be full or the system itself is not detecting the drive for memory

sorry bro.. but the only way for you to retrieve your gamer profile is to delete the profile and then log in online... your gamer profile will be retrieved, all achievements will be restored but save games and game data will be lost... you can try to contact microsoft for further troubleshooting...

thanks for using fixya... I would appreciate a fixya rating.. thanks alot...

Just delete your old profile and recover your gamer tag. your Gamerscore and Achievements are stored on the Xbox Live Servers so you won't lose those. but you might have problems with your saved games

warranty warranty warranty. Dunno what could cause it, I think if u turn power off whilst something is saving or its accessing the hard drive it can break it, send it back tho.

also make sure before you do send it back that It isnt overheating make sure the ventilation is not blocked and away from heat sources

Are you sure you didnt delete your gamer profile? Are you on the correct profile?

If you're on Xbox Live you can use the "recover gamertag" option to see if you can pull down your profile from the MS servers. Briefly press the center "Xbox" button in the middle of your controller when on the welcome screen where you normally select your profiles.

If you are not on Xbox Live you have probably got a problem with your save device (memory card or hard drive.) I recommend calling 1-800-4MY-XBOX and asking them to help you recover the profile.
