Star Ocean: Last Hope Freezing problems.

[Jdevil3]

I don't have Star Ocean but I do have Resonance of Fate, which is another tri-Ace game. I had some freezing issues in Silver Canyon... it only freezes in the Silver Canyon "World Map" when a random battle is about to begin.

I searched "Resonance of Fate freezing" on google and found a lot of people complaining about it. Some people never had any issues with the game and some other people couldn't even get to the first chapter in the game because it always freezes, even after formatting the HDD and replacing the game for another copy of it.

Luckily, it only happened in Silver Canyon for me so I just didn't go there anymore because I don't need to and the game hasn't had any freezing issues anymore (touches wood).

It seems to be a tri-Ace problem... the bad thing is that they don't even know about it and no one has found a way to stop the problem from happening other than buying a new PS3. I assume no one has found any solution for the Star Ocean freezing either.

 

You could try backing up your HDD (Since the SO save data is copy protected >_>), formatting your PS3 and then restore the backup. Go to that place where the freezing happens and see if it still occurs. If it does, try to borrow a copy of the game from a friend or something, if it still happens then... I don't know, I think there's nothing else you can do... I doubt you'd want to buy a new PS3 just because that specific game freezes.
