Don't see the mobs or the players moving (Ps3 only problem?)

I'm on PS3 and particularly have problems in Wanderer's Palace with party members failing to appear on screen. It's a launch PS3 and fan runs pretty constantly while playing, but it's done this for years.

I'm on PS3 and particularly have problems in Wanderer's Palace with party members failing to appear on screen. It's a launch PS3 and fan runs pretty constantly while playing, but it's done this for years.

How hard does it run though? Does it sound like a jet about to take off? How much heat does the PS3 give off? Enough to be concerned? It's been my findings that the PS3 just won't want to render if it's being pushed too hard or there is too much going on. Soldering issue between the GPU and PCB seems to be the likely culprit (hi non lead solder). The hotter it gets, the more pliable the joints become. When it cools, the solder reforms and becomes brittle. Over enough time, the solder breaks and leaves issues like this.

You can try to reflow the board and see if you notice a performance increase. There are people that reflow themselves, but it's messy and cooking a PCB in the same oven as your dinner can't be good for you. Last I checked, a reflow of a PS3 runs about 40 bucks on Craigslist.
