[PS3] Game constantly crashes after patch 2.1

Freezes are way more frequent after 2.1

2.0: I'd rarely get one. Maybe once a week.
2.1: I get several per day. I got 2 freezes back to back on the day 2.1 started.

I'd like to add my 2cents; I have frequent crashes on area changes... since 2.1, on ps3.

I've been having crash issues on PS3 since 2.1 as well. Prior to 2.1 I froze 6 times total in the span of 2 months.

Post 2.1, it has froze 8 times. 2 times in a DF dungeon. 4 times while teleporting to my Home Point. 2 times while standing in a highly populated area (Steps of Nald and New Gridania).

I turned off all effects for others and party set to show limited. Seemed to help slightly, but still it froze once after I did that.

You played for 2 months, because the game is stable?
I stay subbed because I like the game!

Ditto. I think before 2.1 I had one or two crashes since launch. At 2.1 I had one or two a day for the first few days. Don't think I've had one the past couple of days though.

I can concur with this. I have been getting freezes a lot after 2.1. Crashed yesterday during a guildhest, was not really happy about that. Caused my party to wipe and my linkshell to be...not quite happy with me. ^^; Crashing when changing areas is also normal. I checked my PS3 and its definitely not that...

Well yea I like the game of course...
I'm just saying I would've quite after the free trial period if the game was pretty much not working or stable on PS3
But surprisingly it's a stable MMO unlike DCUO "why it went F2P" lol

I have been having issues for about a month now but it definitely has increased in occurrence since 2.1. My gf never had a freeze until after 2.1.

There appears to be no pattern. I have frozen in instances, walking, standing, and teleporting. However prior to 2.1 it never happened in an instance.

Glad its not just me but now it needs fixed or at least acknowledged.

Never crashed or froze before 2.1
Now I crash or freeze or BSOD in between 30min to 4 hrs of game play.
All my drivers are up to date.

Same thing, on Excalibur. Playing 12/23 around 5:15am CT and game froze when going from New Gridania to Old Gridania.

Had to hard shutdown PS3, then system check, and loaded back in.

Very frustrasting....

Needs addressed!

Just froze 6 times in a row. Can't even stay on for more than 10 seconds before I freeze. Very frustrating. Cleared the ps3 cache and still having issues. Other games play just fine.

I figured =)

Game crashed 3 times this morning in a 2 hour span. Twice when I started teleporting and once when running through Eastern Thanalan on choco.

I really hope the hot fix tomorrow is going to address this!

ive been having issues with freezes off and on since the patch. Also has anyone else been getting delay and spikes in battles like in duties n stuff? I only get it in combat since the patch.

And will the ps4 make us ps3 users on the same playing ground as pc users. Im tired of being dogged on.

I too have never experience any issues until after the patch.
Logged in first time after the patch, immediate freeze.
The second time I was able to get a little farther, but I only got so far with my retainer before the game decided to freeze on me again.

Never any issue before the patch. Hopefully this gets address and resolve soon otherwise I might be looking elsewhere to play, no sense in paying for a subscription that won't even allow me to play

The PS3 issue has been acknowledged.http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...56#post1720556
Now let's hope we get a fix soon.

bumpity bump bump bumpity bump bump look at frosty go

Yup, been happening to me as well, and recently it's getting worse.. Can't even finish a run on Castrum before freezing the whole PS3. Have to turn it off at the mains.

& I can't risk crafting HQ items because I'll lose the materials when it crashes :(

I haven't locked up since the last round of maintenance on the 26th.

Hasn't happened to me since after the maintenace. Are you still having problems?

Yeah, for some reason before maintenance I'd freeze out once or twice a day.. After maintenance it's happening every hour or two.. & It can't be my PS3 because I can play other games fine :(

I get this on PC now, after 2.1
It almost never did that before 2.1. When I say almost I mean once a month at most.

Thanks for your help

Same problem as everyone else. I freeze every 5mins or little longer now after update. I hope they fix this problem soon. I don't have a computer that can withstand this game. They are bound to lose money if they can not fix the issue soon.

Another hotfix and ps3 is still freezing. This is a pretty big issue! Big enough to necessitate more than a footnote mention in another update.
