How To Fix Freezing PS3/Game issue Tutorial 

Guys the fix for bo2 multiplayer : First sign out of your account, load bo2,go to local and start a game then end it right away,then go to play online and it should work

I haven't checked my data yet but it did fix my freezing game, thank you so much bro

It worked after doing both methods. Now i continue playing Red Dead 1. Thank you 🔥

I don’t have a PS4 for myself and I said I’d use my old ps3 and games were freezing but after this not anymore thank you so much man you helped so much

Dude, this was seriously helpful! Thank you!

The best awesome thanks even after 7 years and still useful thanks God bless

Edit: I know this is a ridiculously long comment!! My ps3 bit the dust during quarantine and I was reallllyyy bored and. Read it, don't read it, it doesn't matter. My ps3 is still in great condition, I take great care of it; always making sure disc is clean before inserting, always running maintenance through safe mode when a problem arises, giving the console frequent breaks throughout days when I'm gaming a lot, I even have a mini fan that I use to keep consistent cool air flowing around the PS3 (trying to prevent overheating), and deleting old save files often as not to bog down the system. I'm even careful with how I save my game progress, I only create new save files, very rarely overwriting because the lump of files bogs the system down more. I disabled autosave for many things on skyrim such as after load screens, etc. I try to keep the dust from accumulating in and on the system. I'm doing everything I know to do, but when I play Fallout New Vegas or Skyrim it ends up freezing at random times, which often corrupts save files. At first I thought it was the system overheating after long stints of playing, as I said I use a small fan to keep it cool. Then I thought it was happening when the system gets overwhelmed (for instance while loading large DLC like solstheim, or when a cluster of enemies have spawned and a lot of stuff is happening at once) but my PS3 has frozen during the calmest of moments during a game. In other words, it will freeze while I'm simply walking down a road, no enemies or other NPC's being spawned, etc. It doesn't seem to matter what is going on in the game, or how long I've been playing for that matter. Many times I have only just powered on my console and I will have played for a mere 10 minutes, then BOOM it freezes and I'm not even able to access my menu by pressing the PS3 button, so when this happens I can't quit the game and return home. I have to boot it down by hard shut off. Which obviously doesn't help matters. On the same note, sometimes I can tell when a freeze is imminent, because the game will begin lagging & glitching quite a bit. In this case, if I sense a freeze coming, I can occasionally override it by pressing the PS3 button. If I hit the PS3 button on the controller soon enough, sometimes it prevents it from locking up. Though sometimes this doesn't work. I have gotten to the point where, if I notice signs of a freeze about to happen, I will save the game, quit it, return home, power the system down, give it a few minutes, and then reboot. Usually this prevents a freeze from beginning. On the other hand, sometimes there is absolutely zero indication that a freeze is going to happen. No lagging, no glitching, nothing indicating the PS3 game will lock up. I am worried about losing my game data. I take good care of this console, maybe it's just old and getting tired. I recently had to factory reset it due to a Trojan malware that had made it's way onto my system. So the only saved data on my PS3 right now is from skyrim. I lost all of my hundreds of hours of game data after the reset, and only recently had the time to begin a new skyrim play-through. So this system is not loaded down with data, it's pretty bare to be honest. Though I already knew how to access & use safe mode, I still appreciate the video! I hope we can all find the proper solutions to our issues, and get back to our beloved games!

This cured the freezing problem .Many thanks

Had to take the disc out and put it back in again after this and then it worked!!! Thank u!!!

THANK UUUU!!!! yu explain so much very helpful got a used ps3 for my Christmas almost cried cause it glitched none stop but no more I FREAKING LOVE YOU LOL 😂😂😂

I had to restart my gta5 because of this but it did do the job so thanks

For some reason my ps3 freezes at random times and it freezes when i play battlefield or skyrim or anytime really

It only works for a while. You play a game, and it adds data in the hhd as you play, and then you have to do it again. You need to delete data that you do not use from the console hhd.

I just got a fat ps3, it’s freezing on games and when I tried this it kept shutting off when holding down the button, I realized on Japan sold fat ps3s you have to hold the I part of the I/O to get to this menu

I wonder if this fixes my problem too 🤔 I was playing The Amazing Spider-man in chapter 2 you need to swing to a building with Dr. Connors, but just as I reach it , it freezes to load an area or something. I tried maybe 5 times, but could not get past that point. Luckily I have another PS3, that is newer model, there it works just fine. Some testing tomorrow because for one thing, I didn't install the update on the newer model. So I'm doing that first and sed if it still works :) Older one is now 10 years old. My first thought was that is the driver slowly dying on me 😳

Same name bro. Thank you because my bo2 was doing it a lot and I fix it because of your great

Appreciate it homey. Needed this

amazing video, thanks bro. i did both steps but the restore file system actually found corrupted data

Thanks brother it actually worked! ❤

I'm gonna try this I hope it still works. I only played skate 3 once in a while. Was super bummed when it started freezing

I’m sure this video works the only problem in my case is that my controller won’t connect to my PS3 whenever it asks me too

Dil all the steps, keeps freezing still 😢

Did this, got to round 15 on bo2 zombies and it froze. I guess I just need to store my ps3 and start my ps4 journey all over again.

Is this work on gta 5 i open it and then iz starts to instal and its frezze on 1535/8000

OMFG THIS WORKED THANKS DUDE

Thank you it makes my console much faster and I only did it cause it was slow and thank you so much sir and hope you have a good day

Thankyou for this video stopped my sims 3 to stop crashing working great now.

This trick didn't freaking work for me and everything is now gone why did I even fall for this. If I get it at some point and see that my Netflix is now gone I'm never trusting you never again cause my mom is the one paying for that and I don't want to make her waste so much freaking money to give me a new ps3 console and everything cause she's almost freaking broke. Why does that always have to happen to me man. Not cool

1:07 I am confused on what you are saying to do here because I can’t get these two beeps you are talking about

Thanks buddy, GoW Ascension isn’t loading☹️

Game still sadly froze.

i did every step showed but my copy of bo2 still won’t launch without freezing, atp is it just a problem with the disc?

How can I stop college football revamped from freezing before I even get to start a game mode

Wait what version of ps3 is that? Or does it work with any version?

Hello man!! I still use ps3 and i play fifa 14 when i get into manager mode in the 5 season it freezes and i can't even continiue that! I did your guides but it still freezes what should i do? My dis is clean too

Not to be rude but you should probably use subtitles in your tutorials because I had trouble understanding

Well this sucks. I only have the wired controller and it says I have to connect my controller but I can't do that because I can't technically turn it on because it's wired

Heavy rain freezing fixed, thanks a lot!

Didn't help me the only game that's freezing my console is black ops 2 it freezes during the intro cutscene and i have to hard reset my console everything else works fine this only happens with bo2 i played it the other day with no issues idk what happened

The mumbling in the first part threw me off with how many times to hold down the button. Even with subtitles, what subtitles catch it isn't very clear.

Thank you my ac brotherhood always freeze and I could play in peace

now i can’t even open a game, every app i’m trying to open freeze my ps3

This didn't work

Every game I have works fine except battlefield hardline. 🤷🏻‍♂️. The disc is clean the ps3 is clean and it freezes

God of war collection volume 1 is still freezing sir . Please help me. I use super slim model (PS3 hen) and game in my external harddisk

This didn’t work. I done everything exactly the same as you did but my game still gets stuck at 34% when installing. I stayed up until 2:30am fucking around for the same result. I’m outraged.

So if I downloaded games they are safe, because they had me do this once and the license for my Silent Hill was obliterated I have the game, and they wanted me to pay again for the license, unfortunately it was bought a year before at 5.99 and I never saved the receipt although you can't tell me they don't know I paid for it, of course they do but they screwed me on it. Their disc drives suck ass. Every playstation I own doesn't read discs easily, not like nintendo or xbox, I never have those issues even with my ancient gamecube.

My original ps3 controler broke and i got a wired that doesn't work unless the ps3 is already on Im screwed

Didnt work for me i have red dead redemption and it keeps freezing and glitches like wild i cant even play it somepne pls help if not i think ill just buy a new copy

I recently moved out and in with my gf and I could only take my ps3 and 2 bcs my little brother is addicted to the ps4 and it was his. My ps3 was lagging whenever I went to play black ops 1 it would randomly freeze and the game wasn’t scratched at all thanks for the help

What shall I do if it keeps freezing after rebuilding database?

This didnt work for my battledfield game. I cleaned the CD and PS3 LASER.

I don't have problem freezing when play with disc, but playing digital ps3 games from hdd freeze 🤔

My game silently crashes by looking like its still running but then I cant do missions, I cant switch characters, and if I die I get stuck on a infinite loading screen. I cant even get to missions before it does the discrete crash

Yeah. Minecraft froze every time after 10 minutes of play. But it's a slim. We've had it since 2007 and it is the demoted family console. The wireless is dead and it doesn't load sometimes. Poor PS3. 2007- 2021

My Mortal Kombat Komplete edition keeps freezing my PS3 when I click the play button on there.

Thank you sir. Not sure if it worked or not yet, but thanks anyway lol

Thumbs up if you came here after updating to the latest update and the problem persists!

My RDR is not working even after trying this method . It gets stuck on the loading screen after the start of the clip.

I don't have a ps3 controller. How can I do this with a ps4 controller

Im trying to get killzone 2 to stop freezing, I can't even get it to the main menu. I've tried this method

I appreciate u some much my guy ur the best

In the middle of Rebuilding ps3 files now, was playing skyrim in solsteim, got wrecked by final boss in frostworth if I'm not mistaken, froze on loading screen eversince yesterday, deleted most of my saved games in the ps3 utility folder, still didn't work eversince yesterday.... I hope you idea works i really can't restart skyrim I'm at level 58 damnit... Only deleted the latest save on skyrim and i was overwriting all my saves... They are now at 11mb... Please someone help with different ideas i need to try em all.

Nothing is happening when I connect the USB and press the PS button

I’m still having trouble I’m trying to play mk9 and it’s not letting me saying I have to do the update which I did and it’s still not working

Well, that didn't wrk, believe it or not its actually worse now🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️, perhaps you can help me with this. I bought another ps3, but saved game data to a flash drive, my other unit will not upload it. That would help me alot, just moving on from the freezing unit. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I have one question does it stop the games prevent freeze or crash. Just asking

For it to work do you need a hard disk because I tried it and it didn’t work but I’m using flash memory.

Need help. Freezes and stuck on psn signing in. Saved game data doesn't get accpeted and would get rewritten.

Thanks it works

I did all of this and I still can’t play bo2 while signed into psn

I dont know if it works im doing it right now because i play driver San Francisco but when i did format it deleted it so i tried to download it again but it freezes in the installation

My black ops 2 keeps freezing when the Activision comes up when the games starts up or it freezes right after that

i can't even get through the first mission on rdr hope this works

Mu ps3 is cinda old. and i was playing gta five and it cept freezing. after i tried this the game doesnt even turn on what should i do?

For the individuals with an IQ score under 45. If you have 1 or 3 different game discs that freeze out of your other 20+ different game discs that do not freeze.....then the problem is on the game discs, not your console nor the consoles hhd/ssd. Common sense.

My game isn't appearing on the screen bro and it makes a weird sound when I insert a disc

I tried this and it didn't work for me. My ps3 keeps freezing from the start 😒

Every time I try to load into a game on my ps3 it loads in then it freezes

I did this because my nba2k14 disc with no scratches wouldn’t work on my ps3 super slim and it still don’t work I’m still stuck on a black screen after inserting the disc

Thx man this help me now I can play gta

Nice video now I can finish Metro Last Light because it freeze on mission 26

It works!! but i had to find a way to fix my controller issues first luls.

If I get to the rebuting database and it Flys threw in seconds instead taking the 15 min is that bad or good lol?
