When you exit a game and get the "cannot connect/ retry" prompt. Simply unplug the wire from your router to your 360 (at the router) or if you dont have a router pull the network cable out of the back of the 360. Wait about 5 seconds (until you see you have been disconnected from xbox live) and then plug the cable back in.

Hit your BIG X (middle button) and then click reconnect to xbox live.

It will reload your profile and then click "retry" and is will upload the game results.

I have had this happen to me twice (and our OD members a few times as well). This has fixed the problem every time.

Figured this would be good information to put out there, since I ran into this problem last night (and lost my game results because of it).

Good call. Wow, that would really suck if it happened after a big game (or any game for that matter).

Like, say, if you beat Notre Dame at Notre Dame. Say... last night.

Not always an option but you can also just keep your game on, wait 30 minutes or so, and then try again.

I waited an hour the other night. FWIW, I tried this method the other night (I had paused while recruiting and watched a show), and it worked.
