I am no longer going to post freezing problems in the list because everyone is freezing at an exactly different point. For that reason, I would have two pages full of freezing information that have no common location. I have receieved a message from a forum user that said he was able to finish the game by not saving until he was at Hermes. I would also recommend not saving at all if possible until you finish the game in case it really is a file save corruption that is causing these freezes. GLITCHES/BUGS EXPERIENCED: UNRESOLVED: There are no known fixes to this glitch. RESOLVED: Has been officially fixed by Sony via a patch or update POSSIBLE FIX: There are possible work arounds to temporary fix the glitch. *IMPORTANT* is added when the glitch/bug causes you to not be able to continue your game. Fallen Tree (POSSIBLE FIX) Details: "Right at the very beginning of the game, on Gaia, during the first fight that gives the player control of Kratos. I beat the foes and moved to the fallen tree on fire blocking my path. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't figure out how to move the thing. A very strange glitch right out of the gate...not a good first impression." Also I noted from someone else that they had enemies free-falling out of the map in this area. Time of occurance: Beginning of game PS3 Model: 80GB Fat Version of game: UE, Standard Edition Possible Fixes: Restart from checkpoint Double Jump (UNRESOLVED) Details: "I find the double jump extremely glitchy all around. If you don't double-tap X very quickly, Kratos falls to his death, and it happens so frequently that I'm not sure if it's a glitch or just how they programmed the double-jump. Makes zero sense why I can't delay my first jump until I want, then double-tap for the double jump. Every other game with double-jump allows this, but in GoW3, if you don't double-tap quickly, you fall, you die. That's dumb." Reported twice. Time of occurance: Always PS3 Model: PS3 first generation 80GB unit with a new 500GB Seagate 7200 SATA drive installed, 60GB Fat Version of game: UE (2) Possible Fixes: None Blackhole of Hades (POSSIBLE FIX) Details: "Someone actually found a YouTube video with the exact problem I'm seeing. The video is a bit dark, so I'll describe a bit as well. The texture in the cave seems to replicate over itself every time the camera moves. If you move Kratos down the path he falls to his death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHroUWhzsYI Time of occurance: Gates of Judgement inside a cave "right after fighting stone statues with big square hammers" PS3 Model: 80GB Fat PS3, 60GB Fat Version of game: North America, standard and UE edition Possible fixes: "The posts from the youtube page suggest that the save file is corrupted. If you restore from an earlier save, earlier enough that the autosave will do its thing, it should resolve the issue." Visual Effect Bug/Glitch (UNRESOLVED) Details: When playing I've noticed an odd visual effect. When I run left of right and the camera remains focused upon Kratos, he will have a halo (or slight double image if you will) that is especially noticeable around his head. It is most obvious when Kratos is close to the front of the screen (not in the distance where he is tiny) and when the scene is not dark or filled with action. The flame of Olympus chamber is a good area to try this. Go to the bottom where Kratos is at full size and the area is fairly well lit. Then run right and left to see what I mean. Time of occurance: Always? PS3 Model: Unknown Version of game: Unknown Possible fixes: None Lip Syncing (UNRESOLVED) Details: There seems to be a problem in lip syncing. The words are not matching up with the characters lips for some players. Also I get no lip movemtent when Hermes is yelling from the top of the Athena statue. Time of occurance: Certain characters, Hermes on top of Athena statue. PS3 Model: Unknown Version of game: Canada/UE Possible fixes: None Optical Audio Glitch (UNRESOLVED) Details: Game doesn't support optical audio output. Stereo and HDMI outputs do work. Doesn't appear to be a hardware issue; other people are reporting the same problem on other boards. Other games and movies do not have this problem. Note: I do not have this problem and I'm using optical audio as well. Game related glitch. Time of occurance: As soon as game starts. PS3 Model: 60GB Launch PS3 w/ 160GB Seagate 5400RPM HDD. Version of game: UE; U.S. Version Possible Fixes: None Music Puzzle *IMPORTANT* (UNRESOLVED) Details: "At the flames of Olympus area after solving the music puzzle...i go to turn the crank and it freezes. There is suppose to be a cinema but all i get is a close up of the chain and the music keeps looping. I can restart at the checkpoint and pause the game but nothing happens. Took the game back, got another copy and does the same thing." This issue is being experienced by many users. Another forum user posted this video on Youtube showing the glitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__c3SoF71GA Time of occurance: At the music puzzle PS3 Model: 250GB Slim, 80GB Fat Version of game: Standard US version of game, North America (2) Possible Fixes: None have been found but replacing the game does not seem to work. Sounds like a possible game save corruption. Try to revert to an earlier save if possible. This may not work for it has not been tested. Blackhole of the Labyrinth (POSSIBLE FIX) Details: In the first room of the Labyrinth, when the room roates, if you jump while it's rotating, you will either die, or get stuck in limbo and the game does not continue. Time of occurance: Labyrinth PS3 Model: 60GB PS3 Version of game: North American Ultimate Edition Possible Fixes: Restart at last checkpoint Camera Focus Glitch (POSSIBLE FIX) Details: "In the Upper Chamber of the Flame I turn the crank round when the camera moves and focuses on the giant chain across the room. The camera remains fixed on the chain and just doesn't move. I am still able to pause the game and reload from check point but every restart has the same results." Time of Occurance: Upper Chamber of the Flame PS3 Model: 40GB Model (320GB HDD inside) Fat. Version of game: Standard edition bought in the UK Possible Fixes: Regarding the glitch in the Upper Chamber of the Flame, the only fix I have been able is to basically start the game over again. I started again earlier today and I've just got past this part, no problem. I recommend keeping multiple saves (3 should do) as this could be something to with data corruption. Hope this helps. Head of Helios Freeze (UNRESOLVED) Details: "I am fairly certain this isnt only on my system but if i jump off of any elevated item ( I have done it on a chest numerous times ) while I am using the Head of Helios Solar Beam my system will completley freeze up, I have to hold down the power button and shut down my system to get it up and running again. This only happens when using that specific combo, my game has not frooze up at any other time. I have jumped off the first gorgon's eye chest in Hera's garden 3 times using the Solar beam and frooze my system 3 times and just jumped off of a raised platform using the beam and same issue." Time of occurance: When jumping off elevated platform using Head of Helios' Beam PS3 Model: 80GB Fat Version of game: Unknown Possible Fixes: None found. Probably needs a patch. Graphical Bugs (UNRESOLVED) Details: 1.) In Daedalus's study with all of the warp mirrors I was in the far back, upper room with the lever that operates the two large chests. I swung the Claws of Hades around and the entire screen turned a purplish-pink color before reverting back to normal. 2.) In the same room I noticed that if you hang on the rope while close to the lower platform Kratos' legs actually stick into/through the platform. 3.) In the hedge maze while using the "eye" the final time and climbing the stairs I was holding Helios' head and the light beam was emitting several inches higher than where the head actually was. 5.) When chasing Hermes the grapple point along the falling bridge works, but the blade then shoots up and appears to be way above the garpple point. I've had this happen each time I've done it. Time of occurance: Inside Daedalus's study, Hermes Chase PS3 Model: 80GB Fat (2) Version of game: US/UE, Canda/UE Possible Fixes: None Audio Failure after Restart (UNRESOLVED) Details: Sometimes after dying and restarting music would either fail to load at all or be delayed for several seconds before starting. (multiple areas) Time of occurance: random after dying PS3 Model: 80GB Fat Verison of game: US/UE Possible Fixes: None noted. Grabbing With Your Back.... (UNRESOLVED) Details: Sometimes Kratos will want to grab enemies that he isn't facing. For example, in the Bare Hands challenge, Kratos will grab the minotaurs like they have priotorty even though you are trying to grab a minion. Kratos always goes for the biggest enemy, which more often than not, is ungrabbable. Kratos will turn around and grab bigger enemy even if there is smaller in front of him and you push direction stick towards smaller enemy. Why autograb ungrabbable enemies? Time of occurance: When grabbing around two different enemies. The bigger enemy has grabbing priority (which is usually the enemy you can't grab) PS3 Model: All PS3s Version of game: US, Standard (2) Possible Fixes: None First Grapple Failure (UNRESOLVED) Details: During the first grapple near the huge chain the R1 prompt to swing across shows on the screen but it doesn't let you actually use the grapple. Time of occurance: At the first grapple PS3 Model: 60GB Fat Version of game: US, Standard edtion Possible Fixes: None "Bridge-Jumping" Freeze *IMPORTANT* (RESOLVED) Details: "My game is freezing at the "Bridge-jumping" scene after you kill the Poseidon Princess. When I jump into the middle doorway (After being told "This mechanism is broken" twice), my game freezes with the spinning Omega symbol and does not move forward." Time of occurance: "Bridge-jumping" scene after you kill the Poseidon Princess. PS3 Model: 80GB Fat Version of game: US, Standard edtion Possible Fixes: None found Chain in Hades Freeze *IMPORTANT* (UNRESOLVED) Details: "Down in Hades very early in the game after the intro with the titans there is a chain that you need to go hand-over-hand across. YouTube video of the freeze. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmomtIj-UKQ Time of occurance: Halfway across this chain the game has frozen for me the majority of the time 5x or so. I have once had a freeze in the brief battle before this chain, once during the fight with medusas just after and once while reading paper on the ground directly after the chain. Unable to continue. PS3 Model: 80GB Fat w. BC Version of game: Standard US version of game, North America Possible Fixes: None have been found but I tried loading earlier saves and backing up the saves to do a system restore+quick format, issue remains. Brain Freeze *IMPORTANT* (UNRESOLVED) Details: After you drive the sword through Zeus and Gaia, and you are running through the dark to find your family, the sound gets messed up when your daugher starts to say "Mother." After that, "Mother" repeats over and over again until you get to Pandora's box. Once you get to Pandora's box and open it the game freezes. Also, once the audio glitch starts, if you try to pause the game and restart, it will freeze at the restart screen and you have to turn off your PS3 manually to restart. Time of occurance: When Kratos visits his memories after Zeus and Gaia battle PS3 Model: PS3 120Gb Slim Version of game: US, Standard Edition Possible Fixes: The first thing I did was clean the disc thoroughly but that had no effect on the outcome. The second thing I tried was setting the audio to Dolby, which didn't do anything, then to headphones. After I set it to headphones and restarted the game, the auto-checkpoint still didn't work so I went to the previous checkpoint to fight Zeus before Gaia attacks the platform. This seems to have corrected the issue. How, I'm not very sure! Loading Problems (UNRESOLVED) Details: 1.)At the first fight with zeus the game doesnt load in time, so it first affects the music that doesnt start in time. After I died once, the screen turned into white with yellow marks. Then after it loaded a bit, it showed kratos and Zeus in the platform where they fight and after a while the game fully loads and shows the cutscene where kratos throws zeus on the platform. The glitch repeated the next time i died and returned to the checkpoint. Even though it was a heavy loading glitch it didnt effect the continuation of the game. 2.) When I start at the beginning of a new level the sound and voices would overlap itself and then when trying to restart from a checkpoint or quit game to return to the main menu it would freeze. Then when trying to quit the game from xmb it would completely restart the system. Also it would not load game from main menu screen would just be black and have the symbol twirling at the bottem left screen. Game wouldn't load at all when put in ps3 Time of occurance: 1.) First fight with Zeus. 2.) Beginning of every level PS3 Model: 1.) 60GB Fat, 2.) 80GB Fat Version of game: 1.) Unknown 2.) US, Standard Edition Possible Fixes: None. 2.) no fixes at all tried restoring system and deleting saved game data, no game install data because their isn't none so cant delete that, tried letting the game save automatically instead of manually saving and it worked for a while but then it started to freeze while chasing hermes down the wall returned the game in three times at two different gamestop locations still didn't work. Dialogue Cut Out That Leads to Crash *IMPORTANT* (UNRESOLVED) Details: After raising the Flame of Olympus using the Muse music mini game I headed down the long winding stare case and opened the chest to get the cyclops eye using the head of Helios. I saved my game and headed down the hall toward the large outdoor arena where Hera is at. Hera speaks then Kratos, then the dialogue cuts out. Background audio and music is heard but neither Hera, Kratos, nor Hercules's dialogue is present. When the battle between Hercules and Kratos begins, the grunts and sfx from the characters can be heard. I paused the game after seeing that the characters lips were moving but dialogue wasn't present, I selected to reload from the last checkpoint and the game crashed. After I restarted the console, I tried reloading the save and the issue still occurred. I once again crashed and restarted the console and tried loading the autosave. The dialogue was present this time for a little longer but still cut out when Hercules appeared and after pausing and selecting to load the checkpoint a crashed occurred again. Time of occurance: Battle between Hercules and Kratos PS3 Model: 60GB Fat/BC Version of game: US/UE Possible Fixes: XMB continues dialogue for few more seconds but still cuts out Poseidon's Chamber *IMPORTANT* (UNRESOLVED) Details: I've run into a game stopping bug apparantly. When you get to poseidon's chamber where you have to rescue his mistress, the very last part of that where you get back to the center room with the crank wheel that opens to the gates is where the problem is. After defeating the two onyx shield soldiers and the statue, the game zooms in on the crank wheel and the woman, but when I walk over to the wheel; no button prompt shows up. I literally can't progress because of this. I've tried reloading the last save file and even using an earlier save with the exact same results. I really would like to not have to start the whole game over because of a random glitch like that which shouldn't happen. Time of occurance: Poseidon's Chamber PS3 Model: Slim Version of game: Unknown Possible Fixes: none Jerky Movement (UNRESOLVED) Details: Well, pretty much character has jerky movement, he runs a little bit and comes to a stop. I let go of joy stick, run again, he comes o a stop. Cant double jump or use icarus wings Time of occurance: At start of game after intro cut scene. PS3 Model: 40GB Fat Version of game: Standard edition Possible fixes: None so far, returned the game, no luck, rebooted my system. Only thing I haven't tried is a system restore but going through that is a big hassle, would rather wait and see if a patch comes Hades Palace Freeze *IMPORTANT* (UNRESOLVED) Details: "Start of Hades Palace. YouTube video of the freeze. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz71WW21Esg Time of occurance: While fighting enemies on the first or second floor, or opening a pair of chests on the second floor. Unable to continue. PS3 Model: 80GB Fat w. BC Version of game: Standard US version of game, North America Possible Fixes: None that I know of.
