Yeah, there's a problem with the game that causes a data overflow (or some shit) if you play for a long time. There's a patch coming, but it's not out there yet.
It's caused by a bug in the ME3 engine.
Oh, PS3. Nevermind. :]
Here's the official Bioware posting.
Keep in mind that this was posted 24 days ago. The Friday he refers to has long past.Quote:
Hello everyone
First, we are sorry some of you have had problems playing Mass Effect 2 on the Playstation 3 and want to thank you all for providing feedback on our forums on both the freezing and resulting save game issue that some of you have experienced. The information and support you have provided has helped the development team to build the latest patch. We’re currently testing the patch thoroughly, we expect to be finished our quality passes on Friday. This patch is then being delivered to Sony ASAP for verification and distribution. We will announce as soon the patch is available. Please see the below patch notes for a complete list of what will be included:
Patch Notes
-Fixed a crash related to memory fragmentation. This fix will also resolve the crashing that corrupted Save Games.
-Slightly improved load times and level streaming.
-Added some telemetry to better improve future titles.
-Updated some strings to fix spelling mistakes (Sorry Kaidan!)
-Fixed the picture frame in Shepard’s Cabin to accurately reflect your love interest choices in Mass Effect: Genesis.
-Fixed a rare crash in the PSN version in Shepard’s Cabin.
We want you to be able to continue playing while you wait for the patch. While data and telemetry have shown that very few people have seen this issue, we know a few of you here have experienced this problem. There is a very simple work around to ensure the freezing and corruption issues are minimized. Simply restart your game every few hours. By shutting down and restarting your game, you will not encounter the corrupted save issue.”
Once again, thank you for your feedback which has helped us get to a resolution
Quite possibly so.
I haven't actually gone through and tried to figure out what I do and don't want to pick up. Last time I had money left over from school, I had all my purchases precisely planned. All I know right now is that I need to save at least $200 for my boards (and I'll probably save twice that, just in case) and I'd like to get some maor gaems.
Sprung, you KNOW I'm impatient mannnnnnn.
"Where all da white wimmin at?"
I see. Thanks for the info.
I don't think it would be much of an issue, even if I were to somehow acquire it right now. I don't exactly have time to be sitting down with one game for longer than "a few hours" at a time, anyway. And I don't think I would be terribly addicted to a game involving a ton of shooting, but we shall see, I suppose.
