No doubt this is happening a minority of the time, but small groups with loud voices, while bad when trying make money off them, are good at scaring other consumers away.



BTW... I bought MvC3 today. TRU had a $15 card with purchase. :P



Sorry guys, I guess you won't see me around anymore.

@ dfmlege:



Thanks for chiming in. I stopped playing ME2 when I came across this forum a few weeks back thinking this was an issue for BOTH formats. I have only had framerate issues, long load times, and an issue where after the chase scene in Shadow Broker after getting rid of the 1st wave of enemies the next one wouldn't load; but no save data issues. Just to be on the safe side I backed up my save data to a flash drive.



As for your model type, since I work for Sony tech support I'm a lil strict about that lol. Just look at the back of ur PS3 in the bar code area. Your model is after the CECH. I have a 2001-A which is 120GB Slim. Hope this helps...

Just because it freezes in the same spot doesn't mean your disc is defective. My game freezes in the same spot, but on my first playthrough, it worked fine.

Crazegamer, I do the same - and the only concern I have at the moment is the audio. If it would be fixed... it would have been a completely different game for me then.

comment in response to GameFAQs on the patch:



official word from sony in regards to all patches is that it can take up around 6 weeks for a patch

although when u see game-breaking exploits that need patching in, dare i say 'more popular games', those can get approved in hours.

it would be nice to play this again, my 4th playthrough glitched and got erased during the reaper IFF mission, and now i dont feel like touching it until the patch comes out



unfortunately the more likely that the patch comes out so next month.

Hi Folks,

Here is a summary, and an update, of issues that I have posted about earlier.

System: 250 GB PS3 Slim with Disk verson of game.

First playthrough: two or three freezes. Game completed.

Second playthrough: some freezes and a frozen corrupted save at the end of the Collector ship mission. Game lost.

Third playthrough: used the game exit and restart every 30 to 60 minutes method. One minor incident occurred when restarting the system: resume was missing, and connecting to the EA network raised a prompt. Restarted the system, resume reappeared, and no further issues were experienced. Game completed.

I Stayed connected to the Playstation Network and the EA network at all times. Autosave was always enabled.
Additional Precautions taken on the third playthrough:

I did not use any features to skip dialog or to skip cutscenes. This usually increases the chance of a freeze with Bethesda's Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.

Waited for any saves to complete before performing any action. This also usually increases the chance of a freeze with Bethesda's Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.

Backed up the save game file to a rotating set of 3 USB keys after every exit and restart (about 48 times).
I have started my fourth playthrough as Evil Shepard, the engineer.

I hope that this is useful. All of the best to everyone!

Sincerely yours,

CanadaGeorge

@mikx82 yeah sorry about that mate, i was replying or trying to reply to masteratt. got home a bit knackered and obviously missed a spot there,sorry for any confusion, 14 hours mastering a difficult recording probably mashed me up too much for a clear post :)

Hi 
 i'm agree with you, in what spot your game freezes? Do you find a way to fix it, because to me only the patch could resolve it.......i mean i hope

I have a strong feeling the patch was delayed due to all the hacking hubbub happening now. Maybe they were required to add more security to prevent this? or Sony Q&A are on high alert? I dont know.. I know Bioware wouldnt delay a patch just for the sake of doing it.

Killzone 3 beta (2 patches)

Test Drive Unlimited (1 patch)

Little Big Planet 2 (1 patch)



The fact is that all of the above were released at the same time or later than ME2 and all have received at least 1 live patch.



....so, if it's Sony's fault, how come those games got patched and we're still waiting on the ME2 patch?

Remember that the ME2 patch adress a memory allocation issue, that certainly affects the way the console operates, and this implies more testing that other kind of patch, but yeah would be nice from SONY to aprove o dissaprove the patch as soon as possible....

Different people, different experience dude.
After reading this forum, I  tried to give the game another shot after more than 1 week of avoiding it.
And guess what? In just less than 10 minutes, the game froze again and I was forced to use the PS3 power button to quit the game.
Settings are set as recommended by some people here.
So I don't see how I am getting the great "experience"  everyone is talking about if I have to stop at such a wrong timing every few minutes. <_<

I totally regret buying this game early. It is almost the same as me not buying the game at all since it is  completely unplayable for me.
I will NEVER ever buy another Bioware game until the complete edition is out just like Dragon Age where my only problem was the low FPS.
Bioware releases great games. But these games also come with some sort of 'experience ruining' bug like what I heard when Dragon Age Origins just released.

Really looking forward to Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3. But for now,YouTube will suffice till the Complete Edition comes out a year later with all the DLCS and at a much cheaper price.

I'll leave the Beta testing to the first batch of buyers. Good luck paying Bioware to Beta test! :P



hahah,. well i think what makes you even more mad is the fact that you got a messed up game and most others got the perfect game,like me.

i know it sucks but dont go running saying that we are beta testers, because i wasnt and many others werent either,
i only got the audio out of synch sometimes so i payed in full price for the game and it turned out just fine. i bought the game at day one, so im one of those called the first batch of buyers, but not a beta tester so better choice of words next time dude.

Do you know if the patch failed Sony's QA first time around? I never saw a patch be in Sony's hand for this long without release so was just curious.


Haha then you have no idea my friend. I once had to wait 3 months for a patch to come out; Please guys stop ranting and insulting Bioware. It's in Sony's hand.



And you know this because???  Sorry to say this but it doesn't take that long to get the patch pushed out once it's in Sony's hands.  Bioware had no issues pushing out DLC packs in a day.  If you ask me, "It is up to Sony now" is more or less an excuse or a lie to buy time.  /shurg

Then you have NO idea how it all workes with releasing patches and DLC's. Like I said I once had to wait 3 months for a patch. But I'm not gonna argue with you and you can post 100 post on this forum and the patch will not come. Please send some complaints to sony as well



Like i said please stop talking out of your ass and give me some real details that the patch actually went to Sony's hands.  Patches dont take 3 months to process sorry to say.  Also I beat the game 3 times w/o any problems and got my Plat trophy. So i am really not ****ing at all.  All I say to you is, it takes them a day to post a paid DLC but takes a over a month to post a game breaking patch?  Makes no sense, try again next time buddy w/ real facts instead of you crying about how you had to wait 3 months for a game to get patched.

Its a HUUUUUGE mistake. You"ll regret about this

Im about freezes, bugged new game+, framedrops, ugly textures

The number of people who have even encountered this bug is a VERY VOCAL but also very small minority.

That's like saying "You'll regret going for a walk in the rain, you're gonna get struck by lightning."

I'm on my third playthrough and have never had the game freeze.

I try to post once or twice a week a request for Sony to

(as they say in Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail)

Get on with it!

It being the posting of the patch of course.
