So my roommate was playing Red Dead Redemption and he wanted to switch to undead nightmare and since it was the standard retail version he got prompted to go to "System Update" and whoop dee doo - 4.46 OFMLFW...

I didn't get to finish the following titles which still resides on my hdd:

Injustice
The Last of Us
Twisted Metal

Whoop dee whoop. As Sabin & Werelds knows I've just changed the freakin' laser in it... 3 weeks of sweet CFW and now it's a oversized blu ray player with the capabilities to play overpriced games...

Don't suppose there's any downgraders near you who have the hardware to flash you back down to 3.55 or something? Will set you back a bit, but still less than 2-3 retail games Laughing

I don't even think there is a hardware solution for 4.46 yet... Hey if I'm lucky I'll be able to play The Last of Us by Christmas Laughing

Yeah there is, your console shipped on a firmware less than 3.55 right? If so, someone with the right flashing hardware can just downgrade it Smile

Jesus H Christ. I'd tell him that he owes you a new PS3, seriously, or at the VERY least he's paying for the downgrade - which ain't cheap from most places.

Yea actually I investigated it, it cost around 600 danish kroner which is nearly 100 euro. I'm seriously thinking getting a PS3 with a broken rail/laser and then switch around the parts. But a faulty PS3 is around 500 so not that much of a difference Sad

@Sabin

Well Im partly to blame really, I hadn't told him that he was not to upgrade and since he was playing off the retail disk (and not the GOTY edition on the HDD, which as a matter of fact has Undead Nightmare) he just did what he was told by the system. Either I'm gonna play the waiting game or just buy a new one...

Not sure about Denmark, but here, even one with a broken laser on <=3.55 or on any CFW is still crazy expensive.

Just get him to pay for at least part of a downgrade Razz

Playing on JTAG/RGH:
1. Extract ISO to HDD
2. Play game

PC:
1. Buy/Download game
2. Install game
3. Game doesn't start, promted with error
4. Google for solution, finds out gfx driver is the problem
5. Downloads the new driver
6. Game now starts, but freezes after 5 min no matter what
7. Kills himself

He kinda got it right though.

Just put my pc through a series of upgrades.
I've been lucky to buy fo: new vegas then have it crash every 20 minutes for no reason, as well as skyrim.

Rage has that pop-in issue no matter what i do to it, occasionally i also get some extremely low fps after loading a new map and have to reload the game.

In other words, i'm going back to my xbox and forgetting i ever spent that much money on a pc. -.-"

Applies to consoles as well? Except then it becomes:

Download/pop disc in

.... Install some more
Hit Play
Patch

Install more assets
Finally, Play.

Neither crash on me, sounds like a personal issue Neutral If you stuff Gamebryo full of conflicting mods it can become unstable though, but I didn't have any major issues in almost 84 hours of Skyrim and around 20 hours of New Vegas so far.

Are you fully patched up? The pop-in issues have long since been eliminated or, at the very least, minimised to a point of near non-existence. The console versions still have pop-in though, same with Tech5 as on most every UE3 title. RAGE was just poorly coded from the start Sad

That's why I have all three Wink A great comp, a 360 and a PS3.

new vegas is vanilla, bought off steam, skyrim i downloaded, and added a couple of mods, nothing conflicting though, i checked.. I just reinstalled the OS too, got on W7 64 bit now..

Wasn't aware rage has patches though, going to look into that one. Very Happy

As for getting all 3, too expensive for me, going to wait for the new gen of consoles, then going to get the first one to get hacked ..

I guess it falls back to Paul's statement then, which also extends to RAGE; "Bethesda Laughing" haha. As for RAGE itself? Yeah, lots of patches actually and it's great now -- though that's subjective, of course, I loved RAGE from the start. Since I'm an obsessive gamer, it was a nobrainer to get all the major platforms - it's something I've done my entire life ^_^

Yes, their games do that when by a series of complex algorithms they find the PC user to be more suited for derpsole gaming Pffchh

And then there's their DS3 versions which.. well Devil Troll

Do you mean PS3? If so than yes, the PS3 version of Skyrim is FUBAR compared to any other version. Laughing
