Causes my PS3 to crash, when it crashes the red light starts blinking until you move your finger over it again, when you turn your PS3 back on it starts up normally.
- It's one of the only games that actually does this.
- The PS3's fan doesn't sound like it's doing much work when it happens (It's been louder for other games, and they've never done this)
- It never does it during the startup menu. It happens more often while just doing random **** in my MQ, and sometimes in battles.
I have sent tickets to CCP in the past, but most of the responses I get are "It's a hardware issue", but I've ruled that out, as I have gone through it and repaired it (And got a HDD upgrade).
I figure it's just because it's one of the original fat PS3s, but I can't imagine just being in the MQ could do this, when it's played games like GTA V and TLOU without an issue. |

my advice is to delete all DUST%!$ and redownload it, i did it over night and i run smoother than ever, great frame rate and loading, i think it's a memory buildup that causes it but im unsure

If the fan don't work when PS3 are running Dust 514... well most of the CPU and motherboard have a "auto shutdown" when the CPU temperature goes more that Normal....
IF you fan sounds like a hairdry with other games ... maybe you could clean your PS3 Inside. also put some termal paste in the CPU - GPU .
I have a fatty 80gb CECHExx, since 2008, working almost all days... until today :) ( I Clean the fans every 6 monts.. and put termal paste each year)

Knight,
If I understood correctly you have one of the early Fat versions. Congratulations in that it hasn't died yet.
I assume you have the exact same types of problems even if you reinstall Dust. I am wondering if there is something within one of the chips which is not working the way it should and some Dust code just doesn't like it.
What you described I had happen once or twice and then I went to work on mine.
I know that Sony doesn't put the best or even the optimal amount of thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. I took mine apart (slim version) and found the thermal paste did not fully cover either chip and it was getting dry.
Before it went back together I:
1. Cleaned it one end to the other
2. Opened up a hole over the fan
3. Put new thermal paste in it
4. Drilled the bottom full of holes.
5. Strapped it to a a laptop fan which feed the underside a steady stream of air
6. Installed a hybrid SSD
Before the paste and case mods the fan would howl after an intense match so after the first sign of issues I decided to try some things.
First, I wanted a base line so I stuck a thermal couple in the exhaust port in the back and took some numbers:
The most interesting measurements:
Before mods--After an intense Dust match exiting air was: 57 C 135 F
After match with top hole open: 47 C 117 F
After match with top hole open bottom drilled out with laptop fan and new thermal paste: 51 C 124 F
The last result was disappointing at first but it proves the amount of heat being removed from the chips increased with the new thermal paste. Sony only covered each chip partially with paste and some of that paste was dry in places.
Now my fan does not change speeds at all during intense matches. I still get lag and rubber banding but I don't have nearly the amount of stuttering or skipping that I used to have.
I suspect you'll find the paste in yours has slowly become less and less effective. Hopefully neither chip has suffered permanent damage.
Blueberry!....Make yourself useful and shoot the blurry thing running this way!

My old fatty ps3 gave out last month. Same problem. I bought a new one instead of trying to fix the old. I don't think dust messed it up. It was 9 years old. I think dust just asked too much from my already aged and possibly extremely over used ps3 until it died.
While slow to anger and occasionally indecisive, they are also capable of harnessing enormous resolve when truly tested.
