My last two games against them crashed.  First time, 16 seconds left on extraction.  Second time, wave 10 after the objective was complete and I had spent a decent amount of consumables clutching wave 9.

I usually avoid them, in part for this very reason.  But sometimes I just wanna go U/U and not have to worry my game will crash at the worst possible time.  Is there any trick to avoiding or minimizing these crashes?

Don't U/U.

Missile double Praetorian waves (5 & 8, 6 & 10 after the objective has been completed) and, if possible, only play them on non-DLC maps.

edit: Also, restart your PS3 every few games, especially if you get Goddess or HGhost.

I revel in the excuse not to play Collectors on PS3.

And I don't miss 'em.

Solo or duo on non dlc maps. If you have to have a full team avoid biotic or tech heavy teams.

Don't waste your time.  Even if you do everything right, you can still lag and/or freeze.  I just don't bother.

Pre-select Cerb, reapers, or geth in the lobby or through quick match.

This is literally the only thing that makes me jealous of PS3 players. An excuse to say "eff collectors, never again"


Cause' eff collectors.

Well.. if you want to be sure you won't crash.. you have to restart before every game. That's the best chance you have of avoiding a crash and was the only way for me to attempt and reattempt solos and duos against the Collectors.

Avoiding the Praetorians or nuking them is an option, but you can't control whether or not your teammates will keep provoking the crabs to attack and given the objective you'll likely just freeze on Wave 10. Besides, it's not only the Praetorians lasers that will cause a crash and can be a combination of different things from cluster grenades or abominations exploding.

Basically, there is no convenient way and even if you manage to make it through a Collectors game.. the first thing you'll need to do is reboot anyway.

Well, I just had my third in a row! I don't feel like it used to be this bad, but now I can't even get through a single game with those frackers. Of all the litany of well-documented bugs in this game, this is the one I find the most inexcusable. It's absolutely game breaking! And they supported the game for 5 more months after this was a known issue. Seems like it should have been a priority to fix in the final patch...

Get an xbox.

Otherwise preset the enemy, because there is no way to fix memory leak without a serious patch from BioWare and they're not even acknowledging the problem because they "failed to recreate it" which is a load of bullshit.

Don't pug Collectors, unless you are host(you never know, if the pug host is a safe host) and set map to an original map or even unchanged original map. Goddess and Ghost Hazard are the worst on PS3. And if there are Crabs, then kill them fast or leave them as last. Safest way is just to nuke 3 double crabs, but takes away the fun.. And reboot every now and then.

I like Collectors, eff Geff.

Can you clarify what you mean by "a safe host"?
Sorry if that's a noob question, but I'm unaware what role the host has in these crashes.

My guess is that Dida's referring to a host who is aware of the issue and has taken steps to prevent it (rebooted recently).
