Its happened about 20 times so far. Pretty much every time I play GT5 i expect to have to quit the game and restart it. Its ONLY in menus or exiting or entering a race, never a mishap or freeze up during a race, that runs smooth as.
And it happens randomly, anywhere, and only after a button click.
For example I will click on expert series, and I just see the spinning clock, just grinding away. It wont time out. Its just blocked at that part and I have to quit the game through the psn menu and re enter gt5. Other times it will be right after selecting to enter a race, before or after the level loads. Sometimes even after a race is over and you get all your money and exp, it will lock up going back to the menu.
It is weird because the system or even game hasn't locked up completely. I can still hear menus or see the gt logo shimmering, and if I'm using SD resolution I can still zoom using the R1 button. I DON'T think its the net lag. I disconnect the Internet after lock ups and it doesn't time out. And it even happens when I am in off line mode.
NO other game Or anything for that matter has ever done it. My PS3 Slim is pretty new and hasn't used that much, has always been babied and hasn't suffered any troubles or neglect at all. Seems to work fine except for gt5.
My Gt5 disc is pristine in appearance. Has gone straight from the wrapped up case to Playstation and hasn't been taken out.
I have tried deleting the installed files, ad reinstalling them about 2-3 times. Still happens.
FUNNILY ENOUGH. The game has never locked up if I don't install the files and just keep pressing no and running it off the disc. But I haven't played the game enough in that state to be sure.
Any ideas? Could it be my gt5 disc? IM wondering IF I should exchange it, even if you can on such a trivial matter. And theres no way I getting the playstation looked at because of the save file thing
OH and to anyone that has a PS3 slim. In a really quiet room, with no game volume, during a long race, where you are not making noise do you ever hear your disc drive goo eeeee-ohohhhhhh, on a regular basis? Mine does it about once every 7 or 8 laps, its a loud noise as far as the PS3 goes, but you really need to be in a quiet place to notice it.
