The game keep freezing up when it is loading on the first mission

Sounds like a bad disc, the rental place will provide another disc for free within a certain time frame.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/eric_ab7c09ec01841771

it could be a hard drive problem or if the PS3 is in an enclosed cabnit it could be a sign of over heating

Well your disc is officially garbage because it's scratched for sure. Don't bother trying to fix your game disc. Do what I did. Go to sellitbroken.com and sell your game to them. They will give you good money for it.

First try using a DVD lens cleaner on the unit and check the game disks for imperfections. If scratches use a scratch fix kit. If the problem still happens even with a new game then your DVD drive needs to be replaced or just buy a refurbished or new PS2. They are cheap now so why not get a new one. Good luck

well look on the bottom of fall out 3 and if it has alot of scatches theres ur problem

It could be a corrupt game save from way back when you started. Try copying all the game data for Fallout3 onto a memory unit and start again. Although it may take some time to get to where you are up to, once you are there again try and do the mission again. If it works, you know it was a corrupt save.

You could try loading from your first save and see what happens from there but it could be the corrupt file is corrupting the other files too. Remove/Move it from the storage device it is on to another one.

try running game with all the video setting set to the lowest. when you have complteted the mission you can set the setting back if you whant.

Hi barryj_vecto,
It could be one of the two problems: either the game you have is faulty or the game installed incorrectly. Now I assume you have a decent computer that can run this game and theres no problem playing it, try re-installing the game and trying again (save your saved games elsewhere so that it's not ereased when uninstalled). If you still have the problem after reinstalling thje game then it's the game itself that is faulty, claim your vendor to change the game (if you bought it) or download it again (if you downloaded it).

CLEAN THE LASER WITH A LASER DISC CLEANER BUT USE MENTHOLATED SPIRITS

look at the disk and see if its scrached if so get a new game if not ask for your monny back.
