[Ovid]

Wow, just wow. Like someone mentioned, how does this get past QA?

Anyways, thanks for the heads up guys.

 

[Radec]

Fuck, happened again after reloading the game.

Gotta give it 1 more try, if it failed again, ill stick to manual saving.

 

[jacksepticeye]

I'm having far worse issues. The game locked up 20 minutes in, cut to black and wouldn't go any further. Character models also disappeared and guns were floating in mid air.

I haven't even gotten passed the intro yet

 

[Kinyou]

ohh come on.. take off that tinfoil hat..

It's hardly unusual for devs to tell reviewers that they are aware of technical issues

Could be your PS3.

Or a faulty disc.

 

[olimpia84]

Hopefully they fix this before the 18th, which is my delivery date.

 

[Messofanego]

Bad dog, very naughty dog!

Its not unusual, but some sites like GB will typically be transparent about these sorts of things. Other sites won't put the review up until Day one.

 

[Larsa]

Uggh fucking lame. Lost more than an hour. How does this even happen to a huge game like this?

 

[BruiserBear]

So manually saving is the best option for now, right?

 

[Robso]

Bad dog, very naughty dog!

Very good.

Got the PS3 on monday and it plays Journey and Shadow of the Colossus fine (all I tried so far)

Disc looks fine and I don't know how else it could be faulty. It's pissing me off

 

[Unison]

Lost two hours here... In no mood to replay it either... The game is seriously underwhelming from a gameplay perspective. They've replaced the "Press up to win" mechanics from Uncharted with "slowly press up to crawl to the exit and win" stealth nonsense.

Barf.

 

[StevePharma]

Ha I thought Bioshock Infinite had a fast honeymoon.

This one only lasted a day!

Going to start playing tomorrow so maybe, hopefully there will be a fix. Otherwise I'll try and save manually.

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Multiplayer is sooooooooooooo intense.

Rank 9 at the moment. I have a build which has all my points on level 2/3 perks. And only a silenced pistol.

So the idea is upgrade the handgun asap and craft traps/bombs/molotovs. Then gift them for extra points.

I fucking hate it when I miss the booster option before a match its a short ass window

 

[KorrZ]

So does disabling autosave also disable in game checkpoints?

If it does that's an issue, if not...no big I'll just manual save when I'm done each session.

 

[sflufan]

And people complain about PC gaming!

 

[CortexVortex]

So, is it confirmed that the latest patch causes this issue?

 

[smr00]

Apparently the aiming issues made the game unplayable for some but I didn't know it was a complaint until after I beat it.

This.

Had no problems with UC1-3.

 

[LiK]

I tweeted to Arne about this thread. Maybe he'll go ask someone about it.

 

[nofi]

What I could imagine is that they told the reviewers that they'll fix it with a day 1 patch, however would that be still be pretty unprofessional for the reviewer if he doesn't adress it all

Completely untrue in this case. ND's review notes made no mention of anything like this bug and as I've said the test review code didn't have this bug.

There was a bug with New Game + and I made full mention of it in the review.

 

[semiconscious]

like I said before.. I have played the game for over a week.. and have not heard or seen this before people in the OT started having the problem.. so it´s not possible to report on this because it literally just started happening yesteday..

will be playing in a few hours, & gonna go the offline / no patch route. let's see what happens...

 

[Hanmik]

I tweeted to Arne about this thread. Maybe he'll go ask someone about it.

I have tweeted to these people @TroyBakerVA @arnemeyer @bruce_straley

 

[Hyphen]

Out of curiosity, anyone here with 60GB fat PS3 having this problem?

Nope, everything fine at the moment for me. No issues at all - 4 hours in.
Also currently have 3 seperate save files.

 

[jacksepticeye]

So, is it confirmed that the latest patch causes this issue?

Did you even read the OP

Edit 2: we've confirmed that the bug is not being caused by the patch that was released today.

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

From the Citizen Kane of gaming no less...and not a single word about this glitch from the gaming press who reviewed it.

What a surprise.

 

[Ravensmash]

N'aww, I got hit with it too just after intro.

Quit out the game and will probably wait until it gets patched up now :/

 

[CortexVortex]

Did you even read the OP

Sorry, last time I checked the OP there was no mention of that. Sorry guys, just ignore my post then.
But thanks anyway.

 

[Officerrob]

Just lost about 90 minutes, so I logged into GAF to see if it was just me. Yikes this is a pretty major bug.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I know that feel.
I had a similar problem with Uncharted 3.
It's either the disc or the game just not liking your PS3 for some reason. I know its odd but my UC3 had similar issues that no one else ever had.

 

[jacksepticeye]

From the Citizen Kane of gaming no less...and not a single word about this glitch from the gaming press who reviewed it.

What a surprise.

Apparently it didn't happen until yesterday. People with week early copies (not reviewers/review code) played to completion with not a single hitch. Now all of a sudden it's a mass issue

 

[Kinyou]

Completely untrue in this case. ND's review notes made no mention of anything like this bug and as I've said the test review code didn't have this bug.

There was a bug with New Game + and I made full mention of it in the review.

Very weird then. You'd assume the review code and retail version would be the same.

 

[Tain]

so when you die it relies on your save when you retry, right?

 

[anddo0]

Auto-save gets re-enabled after manual saving. So, starting a new game with it off doesn't disable it, I'm playing now, hopefully, it doesn't happen to me. Despite auto-save being re-enabled.

 

[freshmendontod]

Just happened to me, but only like fifteen minutes were sacrificed. Still, it's boo.

so when you die it relies on your save when you retry, right?

I don't think so. I died a few cutscenes after the autosave glitch happened and I still respawned at the beginning of the fight.

 

[hwy_61]

What is happening?!

I'm picking up my copy tonight. Should I even bother starting it, or wait for a fix?

Goddamn games are broken these days!

 

[AKyemeni]

Auto-save gets re-enabled after manual saving. So, starting a new game with it off doesn't disable it, I'm playing now, hopefully, it doesn't happen to my. Despite auto-save being re-enabled.

But does it save the game at least?

 

[bigdaddygamebot]

Apparently it didn't happen until yesterday. People with week early copies (not reviewers/review code) played to completion with not a single hitch. Now all of a sudden it's a mass issue

So if it's not the most recent patch.

The gaming press wouldn't receive an entirely different build of the game that close to launch would they?

 

[Ravensmash]

so when you die it relies on your save when you retry, right?

See, I'd turn off autosave and carry on playing - but I don't really want the immersion to be ruined by me having to continuously go into the pause menu to save every five minutes. There are some big positives to autosaves - this glitch isn't one of them :[

I presume ND will fix it up quick though.

 

[John Caboose]

The thing is, when it's stuck in Autosave you can't save manually.

I know. I meant saving regularly before encountering the bug. I thought it would be obvious.

 

[Dereck]

So, is it confirmed that the latest patch causes this issue?

The patch has no affect on this issue at all.

EDIT: Beaten

 

[Replicant]

Good thing my copy won't arrive until next week.

 

[nofi]

Very weird then. You'd assume the review code and retail version would be the same.

The retail review code probably is. I got the earlier white disk test version.

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Alright... now I experienced why putting reloading on the R1 is fucking stupid.

If you have a molotov or bomb equip you throw it with a simple r1.

Lost the game due to trying to reload my pistol in a rush instead I just molotovs myself

 

[Donthizz#]

Oh man, my copy is coming today and I've been dying to play this. This is not cool.

So is the manual saving option described earlier in the thread not actually working or something?

just turn off auto-save, you'll be fine.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Is anyone having success playing with autosaves disabled and just manually saving? Are checkpoints and everything okay?

 

[jacksepticeye]

I know that feel.
I had a similar problem with Uncharted 3.
It's either the disc or the game just not liking your PS3 for some reason. I know its odd but my UC3 had similar issues that no one else ever had.

God dammit, I don't wanna have to go back to the store with it. Plus the dude said there were very few copies left so there might not be a replacement

Please have an hard look at your avatar ...

 

[Jetman]

I'm having far worse issues. The game locked up 20 minutes in, cut to black and wouldn't go any further. Character models also disappeared and guns were floating in mid air.

This happened to me 3/4 of the way into the first Uncharted, tried multiple discs, would put me in the same spot and freeze up. No way around it unless you restarted the game (post trophy patch). Naughty Dog never fixed it and I swore to never buy another ND game after that and haven't (And I really, really, want to play the rest of the series after the acclaim it's gotten). Was going to break my rule and buy Last of Us ontw home from work - guess I'll pass on that...
