W&G stuck in screen . XBLA ver.
 

So I bought the game today and everything was going great. Other than a couple framerate issues and Wallace missing his pupils after saving Ms. Flit from the bees (Thought it was funny even though he looked demonically possessed).

Right after Gromit arrives in the truck and I turn the auto-pilot on, I'm stuck at the dashboard screen. There's a prompt, press B to exit, but it doesn't work. I've tried every combination of button presses to no avail. I tried the pause menu and exiting the game. But nothing works and now all I have is an unplayable save.

I don't want to restart my game, and there might be the possibility that it could happen again. Just hoping I'll get to play your game again sometime in the future, and I hope you'll fix this in an update. Cheers.

I am having the exact same problem as you in the same location of the game. After Gromit looks closer at the dashboard I am unable to exit back to the normal view. The "B" button is doing nothing. I have tried pausing and exiting the game also and this has not helped. This scene worked fine in the demo but not in the Full Version. Any help would be wonderful since I am now basically stuck on that screen and my 800 point game is unplayable.

Have you tried clicking on either the sunroof button or the horn? Either one of those *should* restore control to you.

I have tried both of those and the wipers, radio, and glove box with no luck.

When you press the buttons, is Gromit actually responding and pressing them?

According to Andrew (programmer) if you click on the sunroof or horn, it should restore the B button to functionality (but doesn't necessarily bring up the "B to back out" text). But that assumes that the chore is actually playing and Gromit is actually responding to input.

When I press the buttons Gromit responds and presses them and then the action occurs. The only button that doesn't seem to respond is the B button. I just tried again to confirm.

Same here, is it because I touched the Gorgonzola?

Ok, I've got some people looking in to this, so hopefully we will have some information soon for you guys. Sorry!

Thanks

I've run into the same problem, and no it's not because you touched the gorgonzola lol, I didn't and am still plagued by this bug.

I'm having the same problems. I've tried almost every possible combination and I'm still stuck at the dashboard. The exit message appears every time but I'm unable to leave the screen. All the accompanying scenes play when I hit the buttons as well.

Same problem here, stuck at the the dashboard. I have tried everything short of deleting my saved game. I played through the demo with no problems. Shooting bees with a porridge gun is fun..., but i would rather not have to start over.

So any update on this?

I'm another one with this problem.

I also played through the demo okay. I wonder if the demo is the problem? Do we have any instances where this gamebreaker occured to someone who did not play the demo?

I have had two lockups myself
 

Once Wallace was by the police station/newstand and he performed the action to look at the sign between the two and the game locked up, though the Xbox itself did not.

The other time was when Wallace used to the map. He was in the basement talking to that military guy (sorry, don't remember his name) and he used the map. The entire screen went black.

This makes me a little frightened to play the game as I don't want to lose progress.

Yeah, I didn't play the demo. I just bought the game outright. That's how much I love W&G. :-)

I've never played the demo
 

I bought the game outright, sight unseen. I've not tried the demo.

Well, if they don't fix it soon, I for one will not be bothering with the next three episodes.

As a 360 gamer I am not used to gamebreaking crashes and am very disappointed with this obviously rushed effort.

...at least a bit of feedback would be nice from the team, so we at least know you are still looking into it!!!!

Hi, I signed up to let the developers know I'm also having a problem with the XBLA version in the same section. Gromit responds when I click the buttons for autopilot, horn and wipers, but trying to exit the dashboard area by pressing B isn't working. I have a bookmark saved just before I enter the dashboard and I've tried multiple times in getting past the dashboard but it just isn't working.
Just wondering if this is still being looked in to?
