Playstation 3 Software & Firmware \ GTA4 problem!!!

Kudos: 303

Mates: 6

im having a problem with my GTA4!!!!
i bought the game brand new, now the problem is that when it is in the loading screen, most of the time it doesnt even load. sometimes it freezes, sometimes the background music gets cut and it just keeps loading.

i dont know what the problem is, i've also got the patch installed but same thing happens. is it the ps3, the disc or does it dislike me?

help please

I've heard something about signing out of PSN. Do that and try again.

1. Try while not signed in into PSN
2. Try turning off that information bar
3. Delete your game data and game save, and try again?

minja89, do you have a 60GB PS3?

The alternative if none of those suggestions work is to go and get a replacement disc from the person you bought it from (exchange).

Are there still lots of problem with this game??? i've got no internet connection at home at all, so i'll be running this game completely off line, will this lower the risk of freezing or even lockup my ps3? otherwise i will not go and buy this game ...

I've had no problems at all, after about 35 hrs game play, mine is signed in everytime i play ! ?

Did anyone have any problems playing online last nite ?
I tried from about 9.30pm, every 10-15 mins until 10.30pm, just got an error message, 'Cannot connect to game server, please try again later"

i've only had two lockups from which it fully recovered (should probably call them pauses) with over 50 hours played (probably like 60 hours but i sometimes just turn the ps3 off if i've just been 'sandboxing')
is your HDD getting full? not sure if this may cause issues...

there isnt a host for games servers as far as i know its more of a peer to peer type network where we just get matched through psn but the dude with the crown being the host...
coming from a PC backgroud it is simplistic and frustrating...
i want more options.
