fang7744 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Recently bought another copy of this game, the GOTY version but when I get into the game not even 5 minutes in, it ends up randomly crashing/turning my ps3 off. I've had this issue with Riptide and is the reason why I gave up on that game. If anyone knows why this is happening, please let me know as Id like to get the plat, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigressLion Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Dead Island is Dead Island, it's infamous for glitches. Side Note: Have you tried hitting it? I can attest as a man, hitting things works. I don't want to brag but my wife wasn't always this good at making sandwhiches, coincidence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang7744 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 When I first played it (when I didn't have online) it was fine but now it crashes :/ Set it to multiplayer online, worked for 5 minutes before crashing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soniq Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 This might be a long shot, but have you tried rebuilding your database? If your HDD is full and/or you have deleted and installed lots of games over time this could help. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Consoles-Peripherals/Restoring-your-PS3-File-System-amp-Database-Helps-to-Maintain/td-p/37322987 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it and it did not fix the issue. Unless I am confusing him with a different person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKB1KE Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Clean your PS3 fans. You're overheating.... Get some airflow around that PS3. Defragment your hard-drive. Edited March 16, 2017 by DARKB1KE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fang7744 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Tried the game on another ps3 and it worked fine. A pop up came up asking to change the enemies level to mine, I said yes on my ps3 last night and said no to it on the other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperMonkeyBoy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Your PS3 may be old, try replacing the Hard drive, or upgrading it, sometimes if your PS3 is low on data or the fans are overheating, it crashes, that happens when I play GT5 or GT6. Or Put a fan behind it to let cold air flow through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobby Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 You should buy a Switch for 1-2-Switch, much better game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
