Hi all,

Throughout the game, I've had issues with my screen "freezing" during combat. The initial freeze was when shooting a guard from distance using the crossbow. The camera orientation changed to follow the bolt and the screen froze/controller locked. Now, whenever I'm engaged in combat and get struck (sword, bullet, whatever), the screen freezes with a red/bloody haze and my controller locks. In some cases, I am still engaged in combat but I can neither see nor control, and in some cases the game is completely frozen, screen has the red/bloody haze, and the controller is unresponsive. The only way to recover the game is to reboot the console.

Anyone else experiencing this? I've never had a load problem, but the combat issue is unworkable. I've taken to trying to play the game as stealthily as possible just to get through it because combat is impossible. Whenever I get into a battle, I basically just let myself get killed because I can't see or react well enough to defend.

Help?

Chris
