Hi I have been playing bf4 for nearly a year. I went to play the game 6 days ago and a black screen pops up and tells me I need to install game data. I proceed and the installation freezes at 60% and restarts back to the ps3 dash board. I have delete bf4 profile and other saved data completely off my system and it still fails. I need help solving this problem.
I said * this * and bought a new disk instead. The new disk works perfect * hassle solved.

Try rebuilding your PS3 database as shown here: http://www.ps3blog.net/2011/01/28/tips-and-tricks-ps3-rebuild-database-faq-recovery-menu/ then try reinstalling.

I have tried everything in the recovery options except factoryvreset. I have 20 games downloaded and many movies on the hard drive and I'm not willing to erase all that over one game. Bf4 is so far my favorite game however I want to know if buying a new game disk would fix this problem.
It sounds like you've got a lot of data on your PS3, how much disk space do you have left? I've had similar errors happen when I'm out of disk space and deleting some games or movies clears up the problem for me.
I'm not certain I'll look.
I have 65GB left on my hard drive

* this hassle and absolute bull s h I t
i would like to put in my input @ZekeWarHawk have you tried Cleaning the disk carefully and making sure the game reads when you put in the disk the disk its self could have some scuffs that may be affecting it or your play station, Depending on what Generation of Ps3 you have
~60-120 GB Original model
~120-320 GB Slim model
~320-500 GB Super slim model
i may be able to assist you i have my current PS3 Red Super Slim 500 GB Running BF4 no problem now before i patched it i would receive a freeze at 46 % Sync
It two 3-7 times doing a Database repair to fix the issue until a patch came out but since Battlefield 4 is the current state it is in we have a long way to wait for another patch.
I personally myself would go with @ragnarok013 on his method and restore your ps3 or delete a few and try to do a reinstall of bf4.
I do hope some one is able to assist if i am not able to.
I tried every thing short of formatting the hard drive including cleaning the disk. My disk has no visible scratches I keep it in perfect condition. I bought a new disk which fixed the problem. The end.
What do you have to to fix it
