I own a 2008 fat boy console. It has worked fine with no functionality issues before I started playing the dust closed beta in June.
I, like many other testers, have suffered through innumerable hard system freezes because of this dust beta software since then.
During the Chromosone update, Dust, and subsequently all games on my ps3 have become increasingly unstable. I can launch dust and do just about everything in the game except play matches. Playing the actual game causes my system to hard freeze rapidly. Can't go a single match w/o locking.
In order to participate in continued gameplay I began using my son's 2006 ps3 as of 10jan13. His console has never had an issue with freezes. This morning during a skirmish match it froze.
CCP, despite what anyone would like to suggest, is causing the degradation and eventual complete disfunction of PS3 hardware with thier faulty beta code.
You may be experiencing only the occasional lock up now but give it time. You too will be out a console and Sony will only stand to gain from ccp's irresponsible actions. |

I have only had one hard freeze, and that was months ago. Otherwise, i only get game freezes very rarely. Of course, if i lose my console due to CCP, that will be upsetting(i bought the black slim).
I'll see what happens. Dust 514 deserves at least that much. |

They started with hipsters and their apples (boot.ini). Ps3's are the next logical step, then Microsoft, after which ccp will release their own hardware.

Don't get me wrong. I am not quitting. CCP and Sony will be getting exactly what they want out of me. I will be purchasing a brand new console when I can scrape the $ together.
But I want to state for the record that CCP caused this and Sony supports it. Thier software has caused untold # of hard system freezes to my system. I have rebooted, re-installed, reformatted...everything.
This would seem an excellent way to generate new hardware purchases for Sony...use crappy code to slowly degrade system performance across the spectrum of older hardware...eventually breaking those consoles and forcing players to buy new. |

No problems here this build. I have hard locked from dust at least 50-75 times in prior builds.
My system still works fine. Slim 120
Edit. Your hard drive is 5 years old and it could be failing on you especially if your system is on lots. You can easily and cheaply replace them. Youtube and google would be your friend for that info. |

There is no magical code CCP can write that makes your PS3 die. I suggest you analyse the way you used those PS3s and consider the fact that the PS3 hardware has a particularly short life-span of about 3-4 years on average.
Yes, hard-freezes and rebooting will stress a system but this merely accelerates natural hardware degradation. It was your choice to use the software, to continue using the software, and finally it is your choice to invest once more into using the software. |

My PS3 HDD had to be formatted today due to an unrecoverable error, only 12 hours after installing DUST. Its one of the original models with the PS2 compatibility too... |

Don't f'ing preach @ me Noraa. I know wtf I am about. Did I not just say that I will be buying a new system because of this? I am an adult; I know it is my choice to keep rebooting every time Sony and CCP crash the system. I know that doing so accelerated the breakdown of the hardware.
I was just posting the details here in case someone who may experience similar damages is curious how it came about. Thanks for your helpful input. |

My phat died after 2 years. They are the most problematic sku out of all the ps3's. You can blame sony, but it's not CCP's fault. Modern electronics are not designed to last forever. Just long enough for them to make a profit & then sell you something else. |

when you accepted beta you agreed to a term and conditions that clearly state. this game could kill your PS3. admittedly no one ever expects that to happen. but in CCP's defense they did put it it in writing :P |

Hey Howard,
I'll move this topic to our 'Technical Support/Bugs'. Can you provide more details?
Thank you.

Thanks Hercules for the offer. I have been around and around with support.
I would just like to adhere to DTOracle's feedback above and assume this is bad timing on an old system
It's too isolated an event to really be a systematic issue.
Always feels better to blame a 2 outter on something other than variance.
It's just that sometimes the 2 outter hits during the week closed beta goes to TQ after you've struggled along with an aging system since fanfest2012. |
