I downloaded Dark Souls on xbox the month they were giving it away and to start with everything was working ok. Over the last few weeks a problem has raised it's ugly head. A few minutes after I start playing I get disconnected from xbox live. I sign back in to xbox then re-enter the game. I don't get disconnected any more, but the game behaves as if I'm playing offline. I can't see people running about, I can't see other peoples signs and I can't write any.

I'm wondering if it would solve the problem if I re-download the game. My question is, do I have to delete the game first and would I lose my save games and characters?

Any replies would be very much appreciated.
