This is crazy. How are they going to handle this regarding people who bought the game but don't have the internet to apply a fix??

Well if they don't internet then they won't have the problem in the first place

If they don't have an Internet connection they're fine.

 

[Kane1345]

If they don't have an Internet connection they're fine.

ah awesome thanks for clearing that up

 

[toastyToast]

Lost about an hour and a half =/

On one of the very few occasions where I pick up a game day 1, this happens

The issue is not related to any patch.

beaten lol

Um it seems like the problem is the internet connection, not playing ONLINE seems to fix it. So for those with no internet, there's no issue and when we can hope when they do have internet the fix will be out

 

[i-Lo]

So if I don't sign into psn prior to starting the game will it be ok?

 

[dripdripsplash]

Good I decided to play offline then. Been playing for the last 3 hours. Dat intro! I swear I get heavy HL2 vibes from this game.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Lost 10 minutes... suppose I am one of the lucky ones. Geez what a fuck up.

 

[Carl]

Correct, that's what i did and i had no problems. Christophe Ballestra (Naughty Dog) told me to quit the game and try again sign in. Dad and and just hit the bug again.

So it certainly LOOKS LIKE playing offline is the solution. For now. Just disconnect from PSN before you boot the game and you should be fine.

For new page. Offline looks like the solution right now.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I have not even opened game and was hoping to play today.



Will wait and see how or when it is updated.

 

[uncharted86]

Yeah I think it has been overloaded

But whatever server side collecting of data they have running when you are signed in should never interfere with the saving process.

I have not even opened game and was hoping to play today.

Just play when signed out.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

For once I'm glad my UPS delivers to me late in the day. Sorry for the guys that got glitched, but at least there seems to be a temporary solution.

 

[gibration]

Woke up ready to play and I read this. Fuck me. Well, looks like i'll be sticking to mp until they fix it.

 

[Lighthouse]

For those of you just joining us:

If you hit the bug you're fucked; there's no way around it. Quit the game, disconnect your PS3 from the internet, relaunch the game. You'll be back at wherever the bug was encountered but it should be fine from then on.

I know this is a new bug and all, but can it happen more than once? Anyone who got the glitch and lost progress, have you got the same bug again?

 

[i-Lo]

The temporary solution should be added to the OP.

 

[jacksepticeye]

So am I the only one who had issues with character models spazzing out or disappearing and cutscenes not playing right?

 

[Ashes]

Fuck me. Its happened again. I'm just not gonna exit this. Fix this shit naughty dog.

Great game. But I'm not sure I want to play all day. Ha ha.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

He didn't state whether he played online or off.

I've always played online (I am assuming you mean online as in connected to PSN and not multiplayer).

 

[Carl]

I know this is a new bug and all, but can it happen more than once? Anyone who got the glitch and lost progress, have you got the same bug again?

Yep, quite a few of us.

 

[Vire]

Fuck me. Its happened again. I'm just not gonna exit this. Fix this shit naughty dog.

Great game. But I'm not sure I want to play all day. Ha ha.

Offline?

 

[RobbieH]

I know this is a new bug and all, but can it happen more than once? Anyone who got the glitch and lost progress, have you got the same bug again?

I hit the bug playing online at some point and lost 3 hours. I played for 20 minutes offline without a problem. Within 2 minutes of going online I hit the bug again.

 

[Ashes]

So am I the only one who had issues with character models spazzing out or disappearing and cutscenes not playing right?

Nope. Happened to me. If you haven't got the auto saving bug, just restart encounter.

 

[toastyToast]

The funny thing is I thought about checking GAF and I check GAF a lot before I started but then I thought, "Fuck it. Someone is probably gonna say playing this was more revelatory than the first time they had sex and that'll make me go into the gaming looking to hate" so I went straight in no rubber.

The moral of the story is you can't escape GAF

 

[Lighthouse]

Fuck me. Its happened again. I'm just not gonna exit this. Fix this shit naughty dog.

Great game. But I'm not sure I want to play all day. Ha ha.

You gotta be kidding me. I just want to play through this game without being spoiled. This is such a disapointment.

 

[Moobabe]

Well I had no idea about this bug - thought nothing of the autosaving message.

I guess I could have potentially lost about 3 hours here if I quit...

 

[Betta Lines]

Offline?

?

 

[Ovid]

So just for confirmation becfore I pick this game up today, disconnect from the Internet means, DISABLE INTERNET CONNECTION in the PS3 settings?

 

[MadD4mon]

Oh man, i finished the campaign in two sittings and the game glitched after the credits now i have to play half of the game again... Didn't see this thread before

 

[jacksepticeye]

Nope. Happened to me. If you haven't got the auto saving bug, just restart encounter.

Oh good, cos like in the intro people would just glitch teleport for split seconds and then one important character just disappeared entirely :/

I hope it doesn't happen when I play again. I keep hoping it was just the PS3 being too hot

 

[geebee]

So this day 1 patch.. what does it change or fix?

 

[Mr.Swag]

Lost about an hour and a half =/

On one of the very few occasions where I pick up a game day 1, this happens

Yea, this is what I hate about this generation. This has happened way too many times with games.
Guess the new rule is wait a week and then buy.

Arg have to start prologue again.

 

[jacksepticeye]

So just for confirmation becfore I pick this game up today, disconnect from the Internet means, DISABLE INTERNET CONNECTION in the PS3 settings?

Yeah, just turn off the wirelss or take out the LAN cable completely to be sure

 

[i-Lo]

So just for confirmation becfore I pick this game up today, disconnect from the Internet means, DISABLE INTERNET CONNECTION in the PS3 settings?

I want to know this as well. Whether it simply means not signing in or disabling the connection via settings menu.

 

[Ricker]

I have the season pass and the Gamestop code to enter...you have to be connected to PSN for this right...? so I enter those and then exit the game,disconnect from PSN and start playing...should be safe...?

 

[panty]

Just to offline before you start, no need to wait a week.

 

[Ashes]

Offline?

On.

 

[RobbieH]

So just for confirmation becfore I pick this game up today, disconnect from the Internet means, DISABLE INTERNET CONNECTION in the PS3 settings?

That's what I did just to be safe.

 

[Plasmid]

So as of right now a good fix is download patch and play With Internet off?

 

[uncharted86]

So just for confirmation becfore I pick this game up today, disconnect from the Internet means, DISABLE INTERNET CONNECTION in the PS3 settings?

No, just sign out. No need to remove your cable or disable any settings.

 

[Clinton514]

So it's settled. I will be picking it up and playing offline for now. Thanks to everyone going through the pains for the rest of us.

 

[Betta Lines]

On.

Welp.

 

[Skellig Gra]

No, just sign out. No need to remove your cable or disable any settings.

Might as well do it to be safe. Either way you are offline.

 

[uncharted86]

So it's settled. I will be picking it up and playing offline for now. Thanks to everyone going through the pains for the rest of us.

Europeans beta testing for the Americans it seems...

 

[Boards of Canada]

Did any of the reviews mention this?

 

[Ashes]

Lol. Game fucking crashed. Guess I can try offline mode. ;p

 

[Carl]

On.

There's your problem. Don't boot the game whilst signed into PSN

 

[uncharted86]

Did any of the reviews mention this?

Why would they, when it's a launch day server overload issue?

 

[Plasmid]

Did any of the reviews mention this?

This doesn't seem to have happened until they flipped the switch at release. Reviewers would not have had this problem it seems.

 

[Moobabe]

Biting the bullet and just quitting out. Interested to see how much I've lost.
