Still crashing after 1.07

[Sandwich_Dan]

Straight after downloading 1.06 I had two crashes in an evening, so I gave the game a rest until I saw 1.07 was available.

Downloaded 1.07 and it crashed on my second race.

I'm sure it's not my PS3 as I've done few extended Red Dead sessions in between with no problems at all.

I've seen on this forum that deleting all the game data files and downloading all the updates again might cure any issues. But this is a console game, I'm not running a PC here.

I'm an electrical engineer by trade and I do my fair share of programming so I'm used to having to mess around to get things working (and I come from an era where, for fun, I would tweak the config.sys and autoexec.bat files by hand to pack the upper memory as efficiently as possible to get as much of my 640kB of conventional memory available as possible).

But fighting to get a game stable on a games console? I shouldn't have to, and I don't want to. That's why I've always used consoles for games and not a PC.

I don't know, I had two consecutive crashes around patch 1.03 just while racing and I don't think it had anything to do with the patch at all. It just froze twice in short succession and I had to hard reset it. It hasn't locked up since then, I played on that patch version for a while after it as well without incident.

Sometimes, I think it had to do with the online service of the game having issues and it causing a crash. (even though I was racing A-spec, there's stuff always going on in the background)

Not really sure what to tell you though.

I found that some ghost would lock up the game not the PS3, It hasn't locked up since the last update. I hope the did something about it.

Exactly. It's not like there's thousands upon thousands of hardware configurations they have to code for. The only excuse is pure laziness.
