So basically I was playing co-op with my nephew, in that one chapter where the Gillman is with you and you have to find that jar thingy, and at the bridge of hands everything froze completely. We reset the console and it's been fine ever since. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Please note that the game is new and everything is in good condition, except my Boomer that may be broken.

Thanks in advance and if you have any questions i'll try best to answer them!

What console are you playing on? I had a similar case where my Wii copy just froze without reason. It worked fine after though.

Sorry, forgot to mention that! It's the Xbox360 version.

My son was doing a special area with sonic boom and then switched to trigger happy and was placed in an area he could not move from. Switching to any other character didn't resolve the issue. He had to restart the chapter. He could see the hat box at the time. This is for wii.

I've found it to freeze at one certain point.

When using the Pirate Seas treasure Chest glitch on the Wii in the ruins, I let the treasure sort of pile up a bit. (having it appear next to Callie is the best because you don't have to move very far to talk to her and reset it AND you can skip what she says faster)

If you have more than 2 chests worth of gems on the ground, it'll freeze and my Wii in particular let loose this horrid screeching noise.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's when there's too many things loading on the screen at once. The game is having a hard time keeping everything moving and it crashes upon itself.

My Xbox360 version always freezes if I play with Whirlwind for 30 minutes. And it only happens with her...

My PS3 version freeze occasionally. Not very frequent, but annoying when it happens. Most of the times it is when one is switching characters using the portal.

thats correct the game will freeze when there is to much thing on the screen at once, you can try do the 'crawling catacombs' without killing the enemies, when you have a lot on screen, the game will tilt the portal. that is a clear sign before the game freeze. because when i do the money trick at the beach in level 8(ps3/x360/pc), that is what happening... its a multiplatform game and its poorly optimized codewize i would say, because i have much more advanced games on my ps3 than skylanders. so far i have had one ingame freeze a couple of tilts and two freeze when loading next level(only happen once at first play though)..

Kappa, what do you mean by 'tilting the portal'? I just thought this was quite unusual, considering everything in good condition.

tilting = portal asking for figurine when figurine is already on portal...

I've had the game freeze on a few occasions in various places - even on the loading screen!

PS3 version for me, Kappa! I've had a few glitches, but then I've had a few freezes for no apparent reason.

i guess it is normal, since everyone have had a freeze and a glitch now and then...

One of the most memorable freezes was on the ps3 for me. On Kaos's lair, with sonic boom first her sound effects and attacks made no noise, then the enemies made no noise, then the levels sound effects, until I was left with just the back ground level music. Then silence.... the ps3 menu still made noise but not a peep from the skylands game. Then it froze and crashed.

I have it for PS3 and 3DS, and neither one has frozen. But every once in a while my PS3 will claim it can't find the portal while I'm in the middle of a game.

me too on a ps3

hi there i am very new to game forums. In that I have never used one before EVER! but i found this one after my new skylander game froze. TWICE!!!!!!.
It has only happened when i'm fighting kaos's minnions but both times I was using stump smash.
Can I ask if anyone thinks this is just coincidence or is there something wrong with that chracter?
I am playing on xbox 360 and the game had been on for abut 2 hours each time. any suggestions would be helpful as fed up of getting to near the end to have to turn it off and start again.
oh and forget to mentio it wasn't the same section both times one was the eternal light source fight and the other was the skull mask thing.

I'm guessing the PS3 stopped reading the disk properly.

I have xbox and its only crashed once. I was playing Quicksilver Vault and the part when you teleport down right after the first fight against a missle robot and the camera didnt follow the teleport. I was killed by the enemies down there and then it only showed the sky. Every time I put a skylander on the portal they would die immediatly. Everything is fine though and I have beaten that level many a time!

My game never completly froze, but all my other games freeze all the time. (Like Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas)
Not a suprise, but if it does freeze you should check the disk for any dust or scratches.

my game had no problems at all. its flawless for some reason.

PS3 Version here. Only had the game freeze up once.

Best glitch so far however has been playing as Gill Grunt on first play through with my wife. We were switching out characters after starting Oilspill Island and somehow in moving them around Gill ended up invisible and was immune to damage.

It only happened to me once. I was playing Sky Schooner Docks as Gill Grunt. Gill got taken out at the end and the game froze. Luckily Gill still had his money and EXP.

My game (Xbox 360 version) had froze on me a couple of times, and even part of the game wasn't working; I was doing Chop-Chop's heroic challenge with Trigger Happy when the first teleporter on the ground didn't teleport me to the other side. Thinking there might have been a problem with Trigger Happy himself, I switched through a couple of characters and it still didn't work. The game did not freeze though; I reset the game and it worked perfectly after that.. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad it was nothing serious.

This has happened to me plenty of times, especially with Flameslinger, Trigger Happy and Eruptor. And Zap to a certain extent. Finding the "sweet spot" on the portal is quite annoying at some points. I also don't like the "Something is wrong with the toy on the portal" message that briefly pops up when the portal tries to connect the figure to the game. Gives me quite a scare..

EDIT: Spelling...

OnceI was jsut randomly playing as Gill Grunt and I think I was using my water gun thing and then when I stopped using the sound kept on repeating. It eventually stopped and the game worked perfectly without resetting.
Fyi, I was using Xbox 360 version.
