I am playing " Tropico Above All " and the game will freeze and I have to eject the game and reload. So after reading this thread I can tell you this;
-I'm using the disk (not downloaded)
-I have 520 residents
-I have 5 of 7 records ( last 2 almost complete)
-I have 60% approval
-I'm making approximately $60k/year
-I have a 20GB HDD with lots of space left

-First the game crashed and I thought it had to do with the rain storm on the island along with the advisor talking to me, and every other moving piece at the same time. But I kept loading the saved game and tried many different strategies (one at a time) including changing speeds, zooming out, moving the map to untouched land, and it still crashes 20 seconds or less after I load. Sometimes after it freezes I wait a while and I can hear the rain come to an end, or one of the people in the game start talking to me, but it never unfreezes....

I searched the for downloads/updates/patches and there doesn't seem to be any for the XBOX... I hope one comes soon because I'm so upset I'm ready to toss this game out.

I started the level over and I am going to try and beat the level before reaching 500 residents. Wish me luck.

After my issues with Mission 5 freezing on me, I started over and beat the level before hitting 500 residents and had no issues. I'm currently on level 11 Fruity Business. I have since had only 1 or 2 times where where I surpassed 500 residents and I had no issues on those levels. I make sure to keep 4-5 separate save points during the levels just in case.
