H8_is_Bad Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Anyone's game freeze when using the citadel elevator going to "D2 Docks:Holding area" When i try to go here the game loads then the damn screen goes black and stays that way and i'm forced to hard restart my ps3.. (use the power button as i can't access the xmb).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lintarius Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I had a freeze near the end of mars. it seemed liara was out of place and the game didn't know how to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenzerian Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 My game froze at the end of Mars as well but not a single freeze since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H8_is_Bad Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Weird.. i had no problems with freezing on mars. Anyway i found a way to fix the freezing. 1)use elevator and go to where the normandy is. 2)then you can go to docks:holding area without freezing. Haven't tried to replicate this but when i was doing it from other floors nothing but freezing and black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto69 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 At least there is something to look forward to, it would not be a bioware game otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenzerian Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I guess freezing or a bit of lag is to be expected in games with large interactive environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas7Ax Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I had two freezes in the first 1-2 hours. One on Citadel right after the conversation with Bailey (happened after looking at the map as instructed). The other I forget, but I think it happened on Mars. After that though, no problems whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShieldWarden Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I also had the Citadel elevator problem. But I just went somewhere else and then to the D2 docking are and everything worked just fine. What really pissed me off was the massive lag I got while playing through the 'From Ashes' DLC. Became nearly unplayable. But I trudged through it and everything has been playing smooth since. Granted, I haven't played another action-heavy sequence yet, so... Or it could have been caused from me playing the game nonstop since 1:30PM EST. I just have my fingers crossed it was an isolated incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terje550 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I had the same problem you did and unless i press the ps button and let the loading screen do it's thing i can't enter the docks: holding area, the game just freezes at a black screen. I found this on another forum: Push PS button at loading screen Wait for loading screens to finish until a black screen appears Exit XMB and the area should load Edited March 7, 2012 by Terje550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker-_-32988 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i haven't had any freezes but my character did get stuck when riding the tram on mars. after i pushed the button to make the second tram go i was stuck there until it stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statikcat Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have had a few glitches in about 7 hours. When you man the turret .. the brute never came out and it was stuck in an infinite loading loop and Sheapard eventually fell through the ground into the earth and died. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLODARx Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The elevator freeze happened to me as well. When I restarted the game it was fine. I was able to go to D2 with no issues. Though it did reload the autosave so I had to go talk to Ash again ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJLC Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yup. Keeps happening to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecto69 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hey Ecto, been a loooong time. Any save corrupting glitches yet? Yup been about what 1 year since ME2 on PS3. At least now I am more experienced with PS3 and can put up with faulty games. Well had my first Freeze and after ejecting the DISC the system wants to report to SONY and then next do a scan of system data (aka hard drive check) Only took 10 mins or so since autosave to get back to game again. So official this ME3 is just the same crap as ME2 At least the data file seems intact. Bioware must have learned nothing. and now you have to play even nicer on their forum (which is a good thing, as long as you just call their programs S*** and not the forum members and mods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusmel Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks like I'm not alone. Yup, the elevator glitched happened to me just yesterday. I could hear sounds and all but no visual. Just a black screen. Good thing I saved before I used the elevator. Commander senses tingling that time lol On another note, does pressing the PS button actually work?

southurnbuck Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Just had my 1st Freeze & got the Report to Sony thing & had to restore my system. Was 14 hours into the game when it happened. Froze up on the Citidel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefChaos Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I also got the black screen when attempting to access the loading docks. As others have pointed out, pulling up the XMB as soon as the loading screen shows up works around it...for me at least. The game itself is really good, but I'm alarmed at how unpolished it is. EDIT: Whenever I get freezes, I just eject the disc. After a few moments, the system gives 3 beeps then reboots. Better than having to do a hard reset.

joker-_-32988 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 got my first freeze of yesterday. it was during one of the cut scenes. had to turn off the ps3. not sure if this is something was newly added to the ps but when i turned it back on i got a loading screen saying checking for corrupted data or something like that. thought it was a nice add on or never noticed it before.

ShieldWarden Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 On another note, does pressing the PS button actually work? It can in some instances, like when you try to open a door and it just doesn't want to open, or if you get stuck during the body scan on the Normandy's CIC.

Terminator Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 got my first freeze of yesterday. it was during one of the cut scenes. had to turn off the ps3. not sure if this is something was newly added to the ps but when i turned it back on i got a loading screen saying checking for corrupted data or something like that. thought it was a nice add on or never noticed it before. That was added in by the FW that came out just before the big 4.00 update last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
