Sharpie=Bad??

[stunt101]

I burned a call of duty 4 backup copy ,using verbatim. I played the game several times with no problesm , i actually finished it, then i wrote on the disc with a green sharpie(not on the recorded side) , and now somethings dont work right , i get some audio failures and on another backup form nfs shift , the game just wont get past the loading screen , when it used to work fine before i wrote on it with the sharpie. So is there any chance that sharpie could have caused this to the dvds?

Assuming it was just a felt tip pen type thing, no.

 

The only way you'd kill the disc with a pen is if it scratches off the top surface or you write on the wrong side.
