[PS3] Diamond Store bug since patch 1.03 yesterday (Europe)

[Jeffol]

Hey guys,

Here's the thing. Ever since the patch i can't play DS anymore. The screen doesn't advance past the blue loading screen. The game doesn't freeze or anything, but the game keeps on loading and loading... And loading.

I already tried reinstalling the game+patches but so far no such luck.

Anyone else experienced this? Or maybe have a solution?

For me when I join to Framing Frame, it keeps loading and loading... I waited 6-10 minutes, and still no, it still keeps loading. But when somebody invites me then I can play it

Hey toast thmx for the hint but its not just when joining DS.. The same problem occurs when 'hosting' or 'being invited to'.

But seeing the lack of messages i'm guessing no one has the same problem

Well... since I got a second look at this topic now...

I could be wrong, but isn't the PS3 version of Payday 2 now 1.04? Are you somehow missing an update?

P.S.
I had a friend who was having some problems, kinda like this, but he was having just loading problems in general. He was, at the time, playing his physical disk copy of the game. He then went on to download the free PS+ digital copy and had no problems with the game. Not sure if Europe had the same free PS+ game given out, but just a suggestion.

Hey NAps,

Yea it is the ps+ version that i'm having troubles with.. I lent my disc to a friend so we could play together, so idk if the same problem occurs with that version.. it didnt before the update..

And about the update, the european and digital version is 1.03.. almir posted that as well somewhere here in the console community

Hmmmm, that is strange then. Did you originally start playing on disk, then switch to the digital? If so, when you made the switch, did you start having the problems or were the problems there as well when you used the disk copy?

I only ask because I have read a few other places (think it might have been the gamefaqs forums) of someone having some odd problems after switching from the physical to the digital. He claimed he fixed the problem by deleting his save and starting a new one. Now, I wouldn't suggest just deleting the save, but maybe you could get the disk copy back and see if you can connect while playing off the disk. If you connect no problems with the disk, then I would suggest either backing up your save and starting a new temp one to try it or if you have the means, using another storage device to make a new save file, then try connecting with the digital copy.

Not sure if any of this would work, but it's about the only thing I can suggest since this problem seems extremely rare.

Edit
Nevermind, after re-reading, the problem started with the update. You could still try my suggestions if you think they might work. Guess as long as you backup your save, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Question to anyone on PS3 who may have started a save on the disk then switching to digital, any of you experence any problems such as this since the update?

[Jeffol]

I'll try that, my ps+ will end soon so i have to switch back anyway.
but idk if it will work tho cuz the dgital and disc version both have different game ID's so they wont read each others save data..
When i started with the digital one, i had to start completely over from scratch..

So i doubt that switching between disc and digital version had anything to do with it.
But i will most definitely try it out..

And if i'm never going to be able to fix then f*** it.. that heist doesn't pay much anyways

Must work differently then the way it works on the Xbox 360 then. When I first played the game at launch, I rented it, then re-rented it several times, so I ended up playing for a month with just the disk version. I returned it, then a week later I bought the digital copy through the Xbox Marketplace and was able to continue to play with my original save file.

I do know some games do that though. I rented Dark Souls a while back, just to see what all the fuss was about. Microsoft gave it out as part of their Games with Gold promotion, my save doesn't work on the digital copy.

I am with you though, if you had to start new when you switched to the digital copy, then I doubt the save file is the problem.

Ok, here is my conclusion...

I tried the disc version again and it worked fine. I asked pDude what version he has, since he's experiencing the same issue, and he said he's using the European digital version too.

So my only explanation is that the issue is the European digital..

I hope somebody from Overkill or 505 is reading this so they can fix this! (probably not tho :P)

same thing, I had PD2 free with PS plus on my PS3 back than and wanted to give it a go now but after it failed to load twice, I give up... back to PC version, waay better, even the Crimwave editon hasn't got any updates for more than a year... pretty lame...
