weird problem . . .

Archive: 19 posts


For the past week or two I have been experiencing this problem where anytime the in-game screensaver comes on when you're inactive in pod a couple minutes it freezes my PS3 on the black screen transition between pod and screensaver. In other words it never goes to the screensaver, but freezes on the transition to it. It happens every time and I have to do a hard reset on PS3. Is anyone else experiencing this or know what the issue is?2012-12-31 03:00:00

Nope. i don't have this problem and not have heard about it before. So don't sound like it's a common bug. *mew2012-12-31 04:52:00

Great, I may have to try reinstalling game data, though I think it may be a corrupt profile since I have to do hard resets every other day because my PS3 freezes a lot on LBP, or it could be PS3 hardware issue since even when I play the trailers on PS store for the themes, some of them will stop playing before finishing but it doesn't freeze my PS3. Stil might be related though.2012-12-31 15:37:00

Do you go through the scan when you've done a hard reset?2012-12-31 16:25:00

Oh, so that's what happened to me earlier. I left my game, went into another room, and came back to what you just described.
You're not the only one experiencing this.
However, I've had the screensaver work several times since the latest patch, so perhaps it's not always an issue, only on select occasions does it freeze.

Might be a problem with the new patch. Can anybody else report having this problem except you and Osty? I rarely leave my PS3 on without me in the room but I'll try to check this out once the new year party is over 2012-12-31 19:49:00

I've had LBP go to the screen saver since the last update with no problem. If re-installing game data doesn't help you can report the problem here: https://getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet2012-12-31 19:56:00

It could be an issue with her (?) ps3. Sounds like it's not having a good time at the moment.

My ps3 freezes occasionally. 4od (video streaming service in the UK) is particularly hazardous, especially when it streams adverts. Web browser in general isn't very good.

Is your ps3 quite old, Hana? Do you have problems with other games too?

I have been having the same problem. not every time, though, ive been having a lot of freezing issues lately. I also have been having problems joining people in create mode. I even had my empty pod moderated. I don't know if it`s related but could be.2013-01-01 14:46:00

My PS3 has frozen in exactly this way 3 times at least in the last week. Thanks for the link, Pooka. I guess I'd better make a report. 2013-01-07 19:05:00

Has anyone started a topic at GetSatisfaction.com? If so please post a link, if not I'll start one.

I had this problem for the first time yesterday. Don't really know what happened because I left LBP running and went to take a phone call, when I came back the screen was grey and controller non responsive. Had to hard reset but no problems since.

I had this problem happen to me for the first time too. but it happened while I had LBP connected online. I normally keep my LBP in offline mode so maybe there's a difference about that. *mew2013-01-15 02:21:00

Sorry, Pooka, I didn't get round to making a report in the end. And it's been happening to me again. It's very random though. Sometimes the screensaver comes on fine and sometimes it just freezes.

Okay, I've started a topic on GetSatisfaction: https://getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet/topics/lbp2_screen_saver_freezes_ps3?rfm=1

Since I've only had this problem once, I don't have a lot of info to give. Please, everyone who's had this freeze go and leave a comment with any details - such as how often it's happened, whether you were on or offline, etc.

I have know idea what causes this. I actually have a similar problem in LBPK. Anytime I go to the settings menu, it freezes. It started out of nowhere though. Do you have a physical copy, or a download? If it's a download, it's probably a corrupt file for some reason, and if it's physical, then it's probably a problem with the disk.2013-02-01 19:45:00

I'm having the same issues.

I posted the following:

Idle freeze up

"I was playing on LBP2 (was in my pod) and put my controller down to go fix my daughter something to eat. When I came back my TV screen was black and my controller would not respond. There was no sound either.

This has happened 3 times. Instead of going to the scenes it use to show it locks up.

It doesn't do it when I'm idle on PSN or on MY Moon.

The controllers are fully charged, TV seems fine and there doesn't seem to be any issues with my PS3."

Ostler reminded me of this thread.- Thanks

I saw Pookachoo had posted a thread to get satisfaction and many had also reported this issue. Has anyone heard anything yet?

That's an unrelated Karting issue. I read reports from some people that the freeze happens when you minimise all of the settings sections, I can't find the thread right now. I don't think anyone had a solution besides a clean reinstall. There is supposed to be an update coming "soon", so it might be best to wait that out.

I've had the same problem once or twice.

I can't remember the exact details - I shall have to try.
