My last two freezes were not even against Collectors, or on the infamous hazard maps. Gr1ng0 is right, it has to do with the s****y coding for the PS3, it's a shame this game put the system in such a bad light. Best advice is just avoid Collectors, H.Ghost and H.Giant, but like I said in my case, even that didn't help. I'm building my PC right now, can't wait to put all this console BS behind me.

I'm looking into building myself a peecee this summer. Too many games that can't be played on a Mac, and share my console with too many people to play when I have the time for myself.

What kind of build are you looking at? A complete build, or anything preassembled? I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. I'm thinking about dropping the extra cash for most of it prebuilt, then just adding a GTX 680 myself.

Complete build. You you really don't want to build your own, at least buy all the parts and have it assembled at local computer shop. You always want to make sure you are getting what you pay for and no shortcuts were taken, and it will still likely be cheaper than buy the system prebuilt.

I went with the GTX 660, figuring I could SLI with a second in the future if I needed to. I wanted to keep the cost around $800, since this is my first dive into PC gaming. This set-up will let me play anything on high settings.

Most of my freezes haven't been against Collectors, though collectors appear to be involved with almost half of them. The system freezes a lot during Biotic Explosions, or anything that involves a lot of animations at once. I've had it happen far more than with any other Console I've used in the last twelve years, and it only happens with ME 3 MP.

Collector Captains spawn too many swarms causing hard freezes. Stop killing Collector Captains or stop fighting Collectors.

This has been happening a lot lately. Because I don't fight Collectors. My system is trying to mutiny.

You try to play Collectors on the PS3?

Dude, you're friggin' nuts.

[MaxCrushmore]

Personally I find it freezing roughly 1 in 6 Collector matches. This is def not healthy for the console, but the alternative is to not play an enemy faction (my second fav to play) on my favorite vid game ever.

I'll take the risk of U/U/G

Edit: If I did avoid the Collectors, that would bring the Geth up more often .. yuck:sick:

Reboot after every collector match!! Doesn't get rid of the freezing altogether but does lessen the chance of it happening. And reboot after every few matches anyways.

^ this and if the frame rate starts getting bad in a match, drop out and reboot. I had Collector Plat yesterday and was fine.

 DID YOU NOT SEE THE NEWS!

I still don't understand the Geth stigma.

[Tallgeese_VII]

Frame rate will always slow down on PS3 as you play more games especially on hazard/DLC maps with character that have overlay special effect. (much much worse for hosting player FYI)

However, I am going to tell you that Collector freeze is totally random. There is no way to effectively prevent this.
My last Collector game on Condor didn`t freeze. I was very surprised to be honest.

Well, my take goes something like this:

I an running to another location on the map, I have full shields and health, I come around a corner, where a perfectly timed Geth Prime siege pulse which took several turns from the other side of the map hits me as soon as I clear a building/obstruction/etc. .. now I am stunned, then the GPs drone shocks me, so I am stunned again w/o having recovered from the first stun, that has now given those 2 hunters time to engage me, who both hit me before the second stun animation is complete, and I am downed.

I went from full shields/health to dead w/o any ability to evade/ counter-attack/ etc. IMO this mitigates any player skill, because once you get caught in the stun animation, it can be repeated until death.

Another example was the off-host Asari Vanguard I was playing last week, this Prime hit me mid-charge, and I literally landed in the stun animation. Now this isn't supposed to be possible. Suffice to say it didn't end well for me ...

I have to say I am fine. No freezing for past 2-3 weeks.
Although frame skip is overall getting worse everyday.

you reboot often, don't you? you should mention that in order to continue playing the game, you must stop playing the game to reboot every few matches... working as intended.

First game after a reboot usually means you can go through one game against Collectors without freezing, but it's not 100% guaranteed. Collectors on Gold actually has more chances to freeze than on Platinum, FWIW.

I don`t reboot often, but I usually don`t play more than 2 games anyway.

You don`t have to reboot if you rather join the game. I`ve played like 5-7 games without any problem as non-host.
If you are hosting. Reboot every 2 games please for others` sake.

Not bad, but a little sweary for my liking.

Retarded forum fads aside, Vern, there unfortunately is no fix to this issue. Collector freezing and/or memory leak is random, but there are ways to avoid this.

1. Avoid maps that cause frame drop (memory leak). These maps are, GODDESS (platinum or vs Collector), HAZARDS (Reactor is very stable however). Most notably HAZARD GIANT, HAZARD GHOST.

2. There's NO way to stop or fix this issue. Inadequate port coding on PS3 isn't exactly rare. BioWare has ceased fixing this game so it'll remain AS IS.

3. Avoid Collector. Simple as that. Freezing is very damaging to your PS3's HDD and unpredictable. If you'd like to avoid raping your console's memory don't play Collector and expect a trouble free experience.

Oddly enough that's what I call my non-cooling freeze machine, the SPOS. This vid was hilariously true in some ways, lol.

[Civet214]

my PS3 freezes only when i'm playing Dagger Hazard

[didacuscarr]

I just froze while specing my cabal AFTER I've rebooted.
Biower pls

Edit: Oni, you forgot London.

So far the worst combination I've found is Firebase Goddess/Collector/Gold.

Been starting to feel the withdrawal lately, I love playing against Collector too. Wish it wasn't such a risk on the PS3.

I froze on ordinary Glacier Reapers Gold last night. Biower pls.

I had constant frame rate drops on Hazard Reactor as well. Both Rio and London are crash prone. Condor is pretty stable for me. Even though nobody likes it.

Many thanks buddy. I was hoping, there would be some way to avoid this annoying freezes, it's a shame. Well, I don't want my PS3 put at this risk of several crashes no more... so I will renounce playing Collectors from now on. To hell with the Thunderdome challenge  I can have lots of fun in this game otherwise and without having achieved this for me. I'm focusing more on carrying rookies as good as I can through Gold or Platinum (Cerberus, Reapers, Geth), this way I'm challenged too, can sharpen my skills and they can gain more experiences playing on higher difficulties than bronze or silver and in the end maybe get some more money for them to max things out or buy new characters or weapons. A win/win situation.
