Forums - Sony Discussion - [updated]Games lag,freeze,drops fps, slow to load on Super slim ps3

Tagged games:

Recentrly ive updated my ps3 model with a new superslim 500gb bundle. My old model died from YLOD and bought the new one.

Ive started replaying uc3 and noticed serious problems with it. Game is slow on loading. Freezes constatly and lags (in order to load while playing due to no HDD install?). Lower fps in general...

This is the 4th time im playing UC3 and i dont remember having these issues on my older model.

What i wanted to know is, thats how the new (cheaper to construct) model works or is it mine malfuctioning?

-UPDATE- : I've deleted all Uc3 data and didnt do any updating on it. The problem persists but it performs better now. Next step is format ps3 HDD. Ill update as i have new info.  didnt fix the problem.

-UPDATE2- : Ppl that got their newly ps3 super slim 500gb bundles due to black friday, experience the same problem!

Faulty 1st batch of new models? Faulty software?

-UPDATE 3- : Also did a full format on the system. Problem persists. Updated topic cause it happens on other games aswell.

Well, that sucks regardless of whether it's inherent to the design or if it's only your unit malfunctioning.

Does it do this to any other games?



The BuShA owns all!

Impossible it makes no sense for uc3 to work worse on the newest model something is got to be wrong on your end.



Try deleting The game data under Game Data utility (Both the Patch and the other file) This wont affect save Data. Sometimes the data can become corrupted. Then redownload any updates once U3 boots up again. Hope this helps your issue.



so it needs a HDD? isn't it recommended that you instal games on the HDD before playing?

Yes other games aswell. Some have fps probs or are slow to load (KZ3, GoW3). Then i tried ff13-2, Gt5, Uc2 and they are ok.

Not all games are installed on ps3. Some are mandatory some dont require and some dont install at all

with lag and long loading times? nah I'm pretty sure Sony has patented long loading times.

This happened to me when I updated HDD's on my 60GB. I bought a 750GB drive, and I had a handful of games that just ran like garbage. I sent the HDD back for an exchange, and everything was back to normal (same HDD on exchange).

May be a pain, but if nothing else works, call Sony and ask for a replacement.
