Dead Space 3 Freezing Problem PS3

Question

My copy, along with others I've seen online, of Dead Space 3 for PlayStation 3 keeps freezing. &nbsp;It worked fine for 4 straight playthroughs and now all of a sudden it's freezing at the worst possible time (whenever it decides to just stop working), and I have to do a hard reset on my playstation. &nbsp;Can you guys PLEASE fix this? &nbsp; It's been going on for some time and it's really irritating. &nbsp;I like this game, and I want to get the DLC, but I might end up selling it back to the store because of this stupid freezing glitch. &nbsp;Again, PLEASE fix this?

Are you crafting wepons before your game freezis and is it freezing at auto save if so there is a glitch that acres after you get half the wepon parts. Same thing happinded to me i played through the game 10 times and i started gitting wepon parts and then the game started freezing for me. It sucks if you want to keep playing ether dont craft wepons or start a new game it is the only fix right now. Also if you keep playing your freezing file it might get worse like mine did aventaly you won't be a le to save and quit without it freezing.

You mean start a NEW new game, like from scratch??? &nbsp;Also, sometimes I do craft weapons, and it'll freeze a couple minutes later. &nbsp;When I don't craft, and I play for an hour or so, I'll think the problem is fixed, but then out of nowhere (I was once riding in an elevator just after I completed the Armory side mission, the one right after I fight the Snowbeast for the 2nd time) BAM, my game froze.

Yes to starting a new game from scrach. But before you do that try to reinstale the game data onder game data utility. If that dose not work got to safe mode on ps3 and try restore systom files you won't loss any data. If it still dose not work then go back to safe mode and restore data base also won't loss any thing if you have music in albams you might have to re organize them. To get to safe mode you will have to hold the power boton down till you here two sepert beeps. then ps3 will go off and then you will hold the power botton agin and you will here one beep falowed by three more on the thered beep relese your finger. If that dont work then back up your save file and then once it is backed up delete your file that is freezing and then start a new game and see what happins. That is what I did when this happined to me but it is a slim chance that safe mode and reinstalling the data will work but worth a try. Most likly you will have to do the last opshon.

Best luck i have had was to delete all the game dats, do NOT connect to internet or let the game update. STAY offline while you play. I think you will see that progress saving points are timed slightly different. seems that if you are online there is a definite lag time even in single player mode. You can really see the difference at the loading screen that usually seems to freeze your system for about 20 seconds at the warning screen telling you not to shut off during an autosave. Offline as soon as you push the x it goes right to the game screen. almost seems like the game is constantly sending usage stats back to ea possibly??
