Earlier last week, we reported that the long-awaited patch for the XBLA title ‘Fez’ was causing some saved-game files to be corrupted. Now it seems that Microsoft has pulled the update until it’s fixed. 
 
The exploit was aimed at fixing a number of bugs that have been in the title since it’s launch on XBLA. Shortly after the update was released on Xbox 360 Polytron, the company behind the game, posted:

There is an issue that seems fairly widespread where the save file can be seen as corrupted by the game after installing the patch. We’re floored that this wasn’t found in testing. For the moment, deleting your system cache should resolve the issue, but if that fails, there is no known workaround. We’ll keep you updated on the situation.

It seems that no quick-fix could be found, the latest news to come from Polytron is more bad news:

A recent patch for Fez that fixed exploits but also corrupted save files was pulled from Xbox Live by Microsoft, according to an update on developer Polytron’s blog. The issues caused by the title update could potentially be resolved by clearing the Xbox 360 cache, though now new players shouldn’t be affected.
 
We reached out to Polytron for comment, and were told the developer will “have more details as we work things out with [Microsoft] after the weekend.”
