DUST Search - CCP, get this fixed immediately

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.

Knight Soiaire BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 3839	Posted - 2013.12.19 16:08:00 - [1] - Quote DUST 514, is causing my PS3 to crash, its been happening for a few months now, if it was anything hardware related, or if my PS3 was going to die, it would've happened already. 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*

Knight Soiaire BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 3839	Posted - 2013.12.19 16:22:00 - [4] - Quote Dovallis Martan JenusKoll wrote: How OLD is your PS3? 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*
bolsh lee Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 723	Posted - 2013.12.19 16:22:00 - [5] - Quote The age of the ps3 or amount of chat channels has nothing to do with it this is happening to quit a few people.. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=129921&find=unread Just last night in the 3hrs I played the ps3 hard froze 8 times.....

Everything Dies Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 377	Posted - 2013.12.19 16:27:00 - [9] - Quote Have the 60gig fat model, the one that came with Metal Gear Solid 4 (which I've never even opened.) Used to have crashes when playing Dust on it, but it's actually become more and more rare in recent months. Separately, I've received the "fatal error" message from Dust twice. Life is killing me.
Knight Soiaire BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 3839	Posted - 2013.12.19 16:33:00 - [10] - Quote This was a part of one of the replies I recieved. 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.

WhataguyTTU 0uter.Heaven 24	Posted - 2013.12.19 17:56:00 - [17] - Quote I used to have one of the original 1st gen 60gig PS3s. I ran into the same problem of yours, I did EVERYTHING POSSIBLE that was listed for help in aid against the freezing trouble. There is NO FIX. Dust requires so much more out of your GPU than other games. I thought i was overheating, took apart my PS3 and applied new thermal paste, nothing changed. After a couple months of pissing and moaning about it, I just went ahead and bought a new PS3 slim..... PROBLEM GONE. So there are your options.. 1.) continue to freeze and rage constantly 2.) spend so $$$ on new system to continue to play a terribad game.

CrotchGrab 360 652	Posted - 2013.12.19 18:20:00 - [20] - Quote It's to do with the memory, much like in MAG, once the buffer is full, it has no more slots to write memory to, so it just hard freezes, That's my 100% uneducated guess anyway, they never did find out the cause for hard-freezing in MAG but I'd bet ISK that any game hard freezing is somehow, mainly related to the memory.

Lazy Scumbag Intara Direct Action Caldari State 81	Posted - 2013.12.21 15:35:00 - [25] - Quote This is untested, but a reflow may help. It's about a $150 repair. The problem with PS3 is the lead free solder used in order to meet European requirements does not match well against games that stress the cpu. The processor can get hot enough to degrade the solder. Try looking up RLOD repairs on youtube. It involves disassembly of the system and heating the cpu and gpu enough to reshape the tiny soldered connections under the processors. You can do it at home, and it could either fix or brick the unit. It worked for me for about three months. Best bet is to find an electronics repair shop with PS3 dies, but for just a bit more, you could replace the unit.

CELTIC TARON Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 10	Posted - 2013.12.21 18:27:00 - [30] - Quote ISSUE RESOLVED: I noticed when on my other character I rarely ever froze. I noticed on Celtic the one I do freeze on channel numbers. It used to be fixed but apparently it is occurring again. Having too many channels no longer just freezes up dust, but your entire PlayStation. Since I reduced my channels I have not froze even one time. Hope this helps folks, some say keep "extra" channels down below 6 extra channels. This does not account for corp, alliance, local default channels. QQ MORE about tanks being OP.
