UFC 3 Disc Not Working (PS4)

Hi,

I recently bought a physical copy of UFC 3 for PS4 and I just can’t get it to work. When I insert the disc, it installs the game fine, but when I try to launch it, I always get the same blue screen message saying:
“Cannot continue using the application. The disc cannot be read.”

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Installed and played other games to confirm my PS4 disc drive works (no issues)
  • Rebuilt the PS4 database
  • Tried installing and launching the game offline (without internet)
  • Deleted and reinstalled the game from scratch
  • Tried standing the PS4 vertically
  • Looked for scratches, smudges, warping but it looks fine
    Cleaned the disc carefully with water and a microfiber cloth

The PS4 spins the disc a few seconds, stops, then repeats. Eventually, it just throws the error. It feels like the laser just can’t lock onto this disc properly.

What’s frustrating is that the seller claims the disc worked fine before shipping it since they always test their products prior to shipping. So now I’m stuck.

Is there anything else I can try to get this game running? Or does anyone else know if some UFC 3 discs has some issues running nowadays? I really want the game to work and not have to return it, but if it absolutely won't work I guess I have to 😅

Thanks in advance!

    That is unfortunate and a pain to deal with; it looks like you are going to have to return the game. Prepare yourself for resistance to this from the seller as they likely knew the disc did not work. Thanks.

    EA_Barry​ Thanks so much for your reply!

    Yeah, it seems like it. I’ll just see if I can purchase another copy of the game elsewhere and hope it works.
