Ps3 Crashes at Alpha Ceph

Post » Tue Mar 05, 2013 7:11 pm

Hi, so I don't know why, but my PS3 keeps crashing on the loading screen after defeating the Alpha Ceph. The cutscene where you're trying to save Psycho will play all the way through, but when it gets to the loading screen, my screen turns blank/black. I can even hear the 'ding' noise of the trophy system giving me a trophy. So my question is; is anyone else having this issue? If so, will a patch be out soon to fix it? Or did you find a way to get around this problem?

Some fixes I have tried are: disconnecting all cords from power sources overnight, RESTARTING the entire game and running through it all a second time, and deleting all game data from my PS3 and starting it fresh.

None of these fixes have worked for me, and I'm pretty pissed considering I've played through it two times now but haven't been able to complete it because of this issue. Are issues like this common with the creators of this game?

Any feedback is much appreciated, thanks.

Sorry buddy, but this is a HUGE problem. My ps3 version is fine(so far) but I also bought my little bother a copy for 360 and he's had this problem too. Except he couldn't get past the first arm of the alpha ceph without freezing, 2 brand new copies, a conversation with ea support/crytek team told me nearly 70% of ps3 & 360 versions released have this issue in some form or another. Patch 1.1 said it included a fix for crashing during final sequence of the game. But since then it only freezes sooner than before! And I've seen reports on here of people NOT freezing before the patch.. Now they are.. :/
So to answer ur question... Idk. If u look around there are TONS of these threads. I've made a handful myself and I can't get any official response.. Neither from emails sent to crytek and ea.

Wow, if it's that big of an issue, you'd think they'd do everything they could to fix the issue before more and more customers get upset over it. Well thanks for letting me know all that you've figured out. I guess I'll just watch a video on how it ends.
