Please check this battle;

Sunday, 22/12, 12:50 - 12:51 EVE Time.

Check for whatever could've caused this, anything.

This is just becoming an awful pain, and I dont see myself continuing playing DUST if this continues, every other PS3 game, can work on my PS3, but for some reason, DUST, which is a PS3 game, only works on select PS3s.

It makes no sense.

I have;

Replaced the power cord, assuming that was the problem
GÇó Moved my PS3 further away from the radiator in the room
GÇó Defragged my PS3
GÇó Rebuilt the database of my PS3
GÇó Reinstalled DUST
GÇó Deleted my DUST Save files
GÇó Handed my PS3 in for repairs, only to have it handed back
GÇó Removed all possible chat channels
GÇó Cleared space on my harddrive
GÇó Lowered graphic settings
And everything else, you have suggested.

There is nothing else I can do, this problem comes back to you, I have done everything I possibly could do, the only thing left to do is to delete this game before it causes my PS3 to die because the amount of times I've had to check for corrupted data, cannot be healthy for my PS3.

I might actually go play games that are developed for the PS3, with all PS3s in mind, and work on ALL PS3s.

I've sent in multiple tickets, I've followed every instruction you've given me, and I've handed my PS3 in to be repaired, only to have it come back, because they could not find anything wrong with it. It just happened a few minutes ago, during a Dom, where there was very little equipment spam, after it shut off, I felt my PS3 to see if it was hot to touch, and it was not, and this happened only around 15mins into the match. I'll even give a list of what I've done. Replaced the power cord, assuming that was the problem Moved my PS3 further away from the radiator in the room Defragged my PS3 Rebuilt the database of my PS3 Reinstalled DUST Deleted my DUST Save files Handed my PS3 in for repairs, only to have it handed back So anything that is causing this, is on your side, not mine, I have done everything I can do, short of buying a PS3 slim. If you're going to continue developing on PS3s for the next year or so, and if your going to stick by that "There are 80mil PS3s", at least, make it work on the PS3. Its a pain in the ass, to have to keep checking for corrupted files, because you cant get the game to work on some PS3s. I'd like to add, that I'm not the first to run into this problem, and that this problem is exclusive to DUST. I can play GTA, Dragons' Dogma, Dark Souls, Demons' Souls .etc for a lot longer than 15minutes, without a problem. Killmail :O *I AM A SCOUT*

The older fat PS3 have a tendency to freeze over, as they don't have as much capacity as the newer versions, due to chip degradation. That means slower system performance, and lowered limits on what it can store before it's memory floods over. Its a 60gig Phat. But is that information really relevant? If you're going to make a PS3 game, find a way to make it work on all PS3s. Killmail :O *I AM A SCOUT*

Not many, I removed some already, I'll log back in again, and remove all of them. But if that doesn't work, the problem is definitely on CCP's side. Killmail :O *I AM A SCOUT*

Quote: Unfortunately, it seems like some of the first generation of PS3 Systems may not be able to handle the heat of the CPU load properly. Yeah, great idea guys! Continue developing for PS3 for the next 20 years! But make sure it doesn't work on all of them. My PS3 can handle; The Last of Us Dark Souls Demons' Souls GTA Crysis Dragons' Dogma, and pretty much every other game in my library of games. But it just cant handle DUST. DUST is so broken, even my PS3 refuses to let me play it.

If it requires replacing components of the OP's PS3, or fixing its configuration, or anything to do with the power distribution or Internet connection, they do that as well. No, really. Honestly they do. I've sent in tickets. I've made multiple threads (Before this one) And the problem has been 'Under investigation' for seven months. I think this problem, is A LOT more important than all the bullshit 'Tankz r OP' posts we've been seeing lately. DUST is so broken, even my PS3 refuses to let me play it.

Perhaps I should start restarting my PS3 every hour of play? DUST is so broken, even my PS3 refuses to let me play it.
