Black Screen with game sounds playing

Hi

just purchased my battlefield 4 PS3 game. Reached the 2nd stage (Shanghai) and somewhere after the point the 2 VIPs got onto the helicopter and flew off, video display became pitch black with the "loading" bar (top right) scrolling and game sounds still playing on.

Tried re-starting this second mission again, same thing happened.

Appreciate if someone who has overcome this issue to advice how to rectify this issue? Thanks a lot.

    Have you already tried to reset your console: 

    1. Turn off Playstation 3.

    2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.

    3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps

    4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.

    5. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button

    6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

    7. Select Restore File System.

    This will delete any corrupt files off of your system. It won't delete any game data. It might still worth a try to remove all game data (not your savegame files) from your system in order to re-install the game.

    Ahoy,

    just got my BF4 (PS3) today and played it first time. For sure first the single player mode.

    I have the same problem. In Mission 2 - Rescue the VIPs - at the helicopter place.

    -> Black Screen - Sound is on - i can shoot and play blind.

    Tried following:

    1)

    Delete -Game data- (not saved game) and reinstalled the update.

    -> didnt work, same problem

    2)

    Went into the "Recovery" Menue and choosed:  "Restore File System"

    - it said: found errors, repair

    i hoped that would it be... but

    -> didnt work, same problem

    3)

    Again into the "Recovery" Menue and choosed:  "Repair Database"

    AND for SURE that didnt work again!!!

    I realy dont want to say what i think. I'm also a profesional programmer and if my company would

    delivier software as that i would be broke! Its unbelivible how long u know that bug now, i guess over 1

    year and didnt fix it. But intead the big companies like urs use the cutomers as betatester.

    im pissed

    So,

    after all what ea recommanded, last option, restart mission.

    And what should i say?! It stll dont work. Same problem!!

    After the Heli is starting and the one vip is shoot, ther is a secound attack,

    unfortunaly i got killed, i restart at the helideck with a black screen again!!

    So what does that mean? Its not allowed to die at the roof with a ps3?

    I did all what was possible. Thats real poor!
