I have the downloaded version and whenever I get up to the Don Krieg boss battle (2nd mission)  the game would just freeze on me rendering it unplayable. I re-downloaded the game and still have the same issue every time in that same event.

Anyone else experience something similar with this game or any other game? Any tips, or quick fix? I've even posted it on playstation support forums and no reply yet.

Try plugging out all the cables on your PS3 then plugging them back in. I know it sounds silly but i've had this type of problem before with Black Ops.

I tried it, and it was unsuccessful.

I've deleted One Piece: Pirate Warriors again, and trying to download, and install. Now even the downloading, and installing process is failing.

I'm starting to suspect the problem has something to do with a recent update, because I've done a safe mode start up and when that was complete the problem still exist.

I hear the downloadable version just has issues in general. I have a retail copy and haven't experienced any freezing issues. You might have to wait out for a patch perhaps or the next firmware update. I still remember when firmware 4.0 made UC3 stop working on my PS3. I'm getting sick of my consoles being a PC, can't even tell if a game will work any more.

Aokiji is causing it.
