Comments on: A Temporary Fix for the Demo Mode Bug

As of today this is still happening to me.

I don’t mind having my saved game data gone (I’d got up to world 5 I think) but that was over a year ago and I want another full playthrough.

However the MOST annoying thing is that the links for EVERYTHING on the new version of xbox.com don’t work and just go to an error page with an avatar shrugging.

I’d happily transfer my licenses and go about my way but it seems the bugs have travelled over to their fricking website now. I’ve tried for 4 straight days and still can’t access xbox.com’s drm page.

At this time the best fix is to use the license migration tool.

Unfortunately I have this problem too. Suddenly after a long time of Braid working like a charm. Everything vanishes every single time I try to play the game. It’s like it has no memory (now THAT’s ironic!) I need to unlock every time but unlock what? There’s still no puzzle piece left, everything has to be done from the beginning for every time I load the game. Really disappointing.
Patch?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Using the temp fix where you sign in everytime, takes me an extra 15 seconds but hell, at least I have my game back!

I’ve spent the last 3 days cursing over and over. Finally, I decided to look this problem up on the net and got here. Well… First I tried the press unlock then go back and it worked. But it wasn’t a permanent fix. Then I figured I’d try the license migration. That worked like a charm! Therefore, I consider myself fixed. But I also noticed the license migration tool can only be used once per year. So I hope you guys get a patch out for people who have already used this tool and can’t go through this workaround.

Kind regards,
Dan

Jonathan,

Thanks for continuing to work this issue. I was just able to fix mine using the license migration tool, but I’m sure there are others with this frustration. It’s like… an unplanned puzzle, perhaps… but not nearly as fun as the rest of the brilliant game.

Thanks for your efforts,
Doug

I tried to release a fix for this early in the year but it didn’t pass testing. I’m going to try doing it a different way soon.

Come on, guys.

Are you serious?? The game is great but I CAN’T play… It does not load any game and it is starting to really bother me. I have tried to download the game again, I have definitely ereased the saved games but I still have the problem…

You said you would make a fix one year ago. Is really that hard?

Hi Jonathan,

Love your game. I just have a problem I was hoping you could address. My girlfriend recently bought braid on my xbox and played pretty far into the game. However, now that she’s going back to school in another city, she wanted to move the game and her save files into her xbox. She did the license transfer with no problems and had a working version of the game back on her xbox. The problem however, is when she tried to load her save files (transferred via memory card), they won’t load even when they are on her HDD. Is there anyway to get around this or will she have to start all over again? If you have the time or if anyone else has a work around, please email me back or drop me a message at http://kotaku.com/profile/NeVeRMoRe666/ Thanks!

Still working on a fix for this. Tried to launch one a while back but there were other problems, which is why it’s been so long.
