Game freezes on PS3

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 4:17 pm

I'm having issues with the game freezing.
I was running on the highway on my way to Primms, fired one bullet towards a Grecko, and as I shot, the game froze up.
Only option I had was to cut the power on my PS3.

This is mainly to the devlopers.
If your interested in details, I've documented it with video, and I can describe the details of what I was doing towards the crash, if that can help develop a fix.

I really hope I wont experience any more freeze-ups, as it's no need to explain how frustrating it is to have to do things twice because of a game freezing.


Let me know.

In around 30 hours I have put in on this game on the PS3, I've only had 2 freezes. One I got stuck in a loading loop, and had to cut the power. The second time I was just walking the wastes when it froze. That's all I have had as far as freezes go. Early on in the game I had a radscorpion that was semi stuck in the environment, it was appearing for a split second then disappearing, It was chasing me but I couldn't attack it and it couldn't attack me. I finally lost it and was able to travel away from the area. Other than those issues the game runs great on my PS3 slim, so I can't complain.

I've had a few freezes on the PS3 as well as the occasional glitch (NPC mouths not moving for the first line of dialog, the gambling graphics not showing up so you're playing blackjack or slots blind, Gundersen's hat floating next to his head) but nothing out of the ordinary as far as what people have been reporting

By the sound of this, I think Bethesda should setup a "Crash/Bug report" thread for people to post and document crashes. As far as I know there's no automatic error reporting on the PS3.
For the Xbox I don't know, and for the PC version all you get is to send an error rep to Microsoft if the game executable actually crashes and closes.

I guess a crash/bug report thread isn't good PR, but it would sure make this a more poplar title if they managed to get rid of the all-around game glitches.


I guess this thread will be on page 40 on monay considering the popularity of the forum, so feel free to share your ideas in order to keep it alive until then :)

I read in a forum that the freezing would stop or would happen less if you just deactivate your internet connection . For me, it works. At first i could only play like one hour till it freezes, after deactivating the internet connection in the ps3 menu ( and unplugging the ethernet cable, just to be sure ;-) ) i could play 8 hours non-stop. Just try it. Maybee you are lucky too.
