PS3 Deadspace 3 crash

[antisada]

I recently bought Dead Space 3 for the PS3 and I can't play it. I get to the main menu, go to create a save game and my entire system shuts off.

Since someone already had the same problem both with the demo and the final game, I guess it won't hurt to comment about my experience with the demo only.

I am having the same problem: game starts normally and crashes to blinking red light after some time playing. Unrelated to any in-game triggers apparently, and in about the same time interval already mentioned: about 2 to 10 minutes. 

I can recall happening:

-Once in the weapons testing mode, when I refused to press X when caught by a necro to see what would happen

-Another time in the weapon testing mode, after about 15 minutes when trying to access the bench

-Two times close to the boss, one after and one before. I wasn't triggering any event (doors, benches, etc; ), just walking

-Once when reaching the two necros before the first ladder. Again I wasn't triggering anything, just shooting them.

My copy is hopefully arriving tomorrow, so I will post as soon as I have news about testing it.

By the way, mine is a CECHE series, "Fat", 80GB.

This kind of problem has happened with only one other game, already famous for crashing most of the older PS3. I'm not sure if I can mention what game it is, but I will if it is ok.

I'm having this exact same issue.

Turn it on, game starts fine.  Then at some random point after the ps3 hard crashes with multiple beeps, and then has a blinking red light.

It only turns back on once I flip the switch in the back off and on.  Once it powers up it has to run a file system check.

The ps3 I have is the original 60 gig version, but it has a 1TB hard drive in it right now with 500 gigs of space left. (I have a lot of games.... o.o).

Tried to uninstal game data.  Deleted everything in regards to the game, reinstalled the game (it's a digital day one purchase), and even after doing this the issue still persists.

Any further information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

@ Antisada

What is your PS3 model? 

@Djlichedarkness

Thank for the detailed report, this will help us look into the issue.

Cheers,

The Model number is CECHA01, I have tried unintalling and reinstalling, clearing the cache and disabling the media server access.

Hello,:manhappy:

I have the same issue. (also had it with the demo)

Starts up just fine but after a few minutes the game crashes the ps3 and it gives the blinking red light signal. (that should stand for overheat but i doubt that)

Other than the dead space 3 game i can play any game for extended amounts of time without any crash.

I also have the old 60 gb model : CECHC** 

I do have a 500gb hdd in it.

Seems like dead space 3 will have to gather some dust until a solution is found :mansad:

Hi everyone,

There might be two different issues there. 

Antisada, do you confirm the issue always happens before even being in game?

If that is the case, can you try the disk in another console and see if the same thing happens?If you can't even get in the game, the disk may be faulty.

Djlichedarkness, stonerrockgod, rickros1, are the freezes random or are they happening when you perform a certain task/open the menu?

Any details could help us see what the issue might be. 

Thank you again!

Hello Eve,

Well the first crash happend in the main menu (i just added my collector edition code's and went to dinner. When i came back it had the red blinking light.)
So i just assumed it was the same as with the demo, wich crashed after a few min (Differs from 2 to 10 min)

After i saw your message i called my friend to come and try with me to co-op
I made a match, he joined, we started the game. (So this kinda rules out the certain task)

Then after a few minutes it went out again during the game. I also did not press start at any point in the game.

It seems the game has problems running on the old CECHC models :mansad: 

Also in all the forums i have been through about this problem it seems most of the models are the older 60gb CECHC and the 150gb slim. (maybe it helps to know)

Greetings,

Rick

THANKS
