I don't think you should stop playing just try not to play hours straight, jump on another game for half and hour or so. That could help but you never know.

good luck

Even my first match after turning on my PS3 has a high frequency to crash to the double red lights. My system isn't even hot to the touch when it crashed out. Then it has to go over my entire harddrive to restore the data since it was turned off incorrectly, It's about a 20 min process. I spent 2 hours yesterday dealing with that because I crashed out 6 times while attempting to get triple exp. Until they actually fix the issue, and get dust compatible with the older 2007 PS3 models It's just not worth the headache of playing.

That is a ball ache, i had to turn mine of a ridiculous amount of times, i just canceled the restore business.

Im rocking the slim so i don't think its just the chunky's that are ******.

Pre-Uprising Dust has always been stable on my PS3, however since Uprising went live I've been having issues with my PS3 when I play Dust. It's to the point that if I go into a match an AFK it will be fine and nothing will crash, if I go into a combat zone or you know actually play the game my system will crash about 50% of the time before the match finishes. When I crash the ps3 will give the red flashing lights 'overheated'. I've removed the casing on the system and run fans over it with no success. I would assume it's an issue with my PS3, but I have recently done extensive playing and testing on other games and I can play Battlefield 3, or Borderlands 2 for 8+ hours without any issues (and have played hundreds of other games in the past) [Fallout being the only exception lots of issues with that game]. I really don't know what uprising added to the game but it has made playing Dust on my specific console extremely unstable. My PS3 has worked fine for nearly six years and only ever 'overheated' while playing post uprising Dust 514. It still appears to work just fine while playing any other game on the market. This issue is making me finally hang up my gun, I've been playing dust extensively since last August and was nearing 2mil WP. I've really enjoyed the game. It's always sad when technical issues render a game unplayable for a subsection of players. I'm not willing to buy a new PS3 two months before the ps4 to get a more Dust compatible model. Hopefully you guys can either fix the issue here, or bring Dust to the PS4 so I can get back into it!

Ahh yeah dust crashes my system I mean it kills the power and everything. It's not like it's hung up on a screen and forces me to turn it off. It's why I think I'll be avoiding Dust until known performance issues with old models* gets removed from the Uprising bugs list. CCP frame even said that Dust QA confirmed Uprising was hard crashing older PS3 models. I'm really just trying to get some more exposure and attention to a known issue here.

My machine isn't overheating but the latest update crashes my machine within a few minutes of joining combat. I've stopped playing dust altogether until an update comes out. I'm not going to risk corrupting my hard drive. I'm lucky that I live with a friend who owns a slim. I can no longer play dust on my old 80Gig though. I've tried a cpl of different days, can't complete a match before it powers off.
