Resident Evil 6's day-one PlayStation 3 patch has stopped downloaded copies of game from loading, which renders the game unplayable.

Compatibility issues between the patch and legitimately-downloaded PSN copies can be circumvented by a workaround, Capcom told IGN, while the developer readies a fresh patch.

"The temporary fix to ensure people can enjoy Resident Evil 6 today as intended is to ask
those people to uninstall the game (only if they originally saw an error message) and reinstall the game," a Capcom spokesperson said. "This time they won't be prompted to download the patch and the game will load."

But anyone using this workaround will be left unable to play online with others.
"Please note, however, these people won't be able to play against disc owners on a temporary basis," Capcom added. "We are working with SCEE (Sony) to fix this issue and a patch is imminent to fix the issue."

The issue also blocks RE.net, the game's online stat-tracking and reward service.
Disc-based PS3 copies of the game remain unaffected - the problem only hits fans who pre-paid and downloaded a digital copy.

They update the game, thinking it's safe... and yet...

 

[TheOddOne]

That is really unfortunate.

I wonder if Patrick Klepek will say anything about it, who am I kidding? He won't.

 

[Monocle]

Ouch.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Its a 10GB file, you assholes. Unless theres a seperate install from the bubble install, thats ridiculous.

 

[nickcv]

Its a 10GB file, you assholes.

wow, really? how many disks is the Xbox version then?

 

[Canis lupus]

Damn.

 

[Hanmik]

Just redownload the game...

wauw... 10Gb.. and with the, sometimes, very unstable PSN speeds ... I feel very sad for those people..

 

[TemplaerDude]

Ha ha ha ha ha, as if this game needed anymore bad press.

 

[WrenchNinja]

wow, really? how many disks is the Xbox version then?

2 discs, 2nd disc is language packs

 

[sublimit]

No Capcom,you didn't rush this turd at all.

 

[Vinterbird]

wow, really? how many disks is the Xbox version then?

Two, one is optional from what I understand (just language add-ons).

This situation really sucks, and really doesn't help the perception of digital distribution of the big AAA games. Which sucks since Sony is doing a lot to bring day and date digital distribution to the consoles in a meaningful way.

 

[Hanmik]

lol..

 

[BGBW]

Things are going so bad for Resi6 and the only positive topic we'll ever get for it is "One day has passed with no one saying anything negative about Resident Evil 6"

 

[SJRB]

With the game file being 10gb and PSN being as slow as it is most of the time, "just re-install the game" isn't as easy a fix as this guy thinks it is.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

It sucks for this to happen to a gamer... but seeing Capcom stumble like this really gives me a dark joy.

 

[Drencrom]

 

[Sviatoslav]

Capcpom strikes again!

 

[dragonlife]

Nothing seems to be going right for RE6's image.

 

[Cels]

no hope left

 

[CoilShot]

Its a 10GB file, you assholes. Unless theres a seperate install from the bubble install, thats ridiculous.

plus some people have to deal with bandwidth caps

could you launch the game afterwards..? or does the error continue when you try to launch the game again..?

 

[ShinobiFist]

Megaman is haunting Capcom hard...

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Capcom loves testing gamers, but apparently not their games.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

jesus, re6 really is becoming something else...

 

[Y2Kev]

Hi

I have 360 version but the patch broke my copy too

all the gameplay in the first hour of the game got deleted???

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

Capcpom are on a roll.

 

[Teletraan1]

These patch guys just have an axe to grind with Japanese devs. How deep does this anti Japanese conspiracy go?

 

[Roxas]

It's worked fine since, strange.

Capcpom,

lol.. don´t do that .. I´m at work.. people can see and hear me..

 

[Impeccable]

All digital future? That's where I want to be!

(I commend Sony for trail blazing.)

 

[MikeE21286]

A non returnable copy that's broken. Yay!

 

[SolarPowered]

Capcom loves testing gamers, but apparently not their games.

It is cheaper to have the gamers do the testing for them. :I

 

[Risette]

Capcom learning from the west.

 

[Replicant]

This is one example as to why I don't buy digital games beyond 2GB and I don't buy digital stuff if there is a hard copy equivalent.

 

[gogogow]

Just re-download lol.

The PS3 should let people keep the install file.

 

[Flayer]

Surely you could just delete the patch from the game folder? All other games with installs work like that. There's 1 file for the install and another for patches (which sometimes seems to get grouped with DLC). Unless RE6 is a special case there is no need to redownload the main game.

 

[Sojgat]

Damn it Capcom... and yeah digital future and all that, bleh.

 

[KillerAJD]

Has it actually been fixed (the scee twitter above makes it sound like that's so)? If not, my buddy with really strict bandwidth caps is going to be very unpleasant tomorrow. He was already pissed at the NHL "midnight" realease, and this may break him, haha. I told him he shouldn't have bought this game...

 

[Ushojax]

They're only trying to protect you from playing the game.

 

[mxgt]

Downloading 10gb on PSN twice is a nightmare that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy

 

[Claymores]

LOL that sucks especially in places like the EU where digital is more expensive than retail.
