No idea. I've deleted it off my machine and re-downloading it again at the moment hoping that'll fix something. Most likely not though.

It was delayed like 6 months, you would think they tested the shit out of it. Bogus.

I'm going to share this game with my brother. Trust me, I guarantee you he would NOT buy it if I didn't share it with him.

another guy in PSN store thread disable internet connection and game worked. See if that works for you. This is a useless fix since you can't race online.

Isn't there some sort of fix you can do?

I've heard that downloading and installing first the unlock key and then the full game solves the freezes.

I'm still at work so i can't even buy the game, but try it to see if it solves the problem :-/
 
Game of the year so far for me. I'm loving it. Plus I'm ranked 1 in the world on some track.

Freaky thing is another lad from the same town as me is ranked number 2.

It works without the PS3 connected to the internet, otherwise it's still locking-up. Guess I wouldn't be playing with you guys tonight.

So I guess internet is the problem. Three people so far had tried this solution and the game runs.

Asking again since it was at the bottom of the page: what are your impressions of pilot assist? Anybody using it?
From the Eurogamer review:
For those who are new to WipEout there's now Pilot Assist, a passive auto-pilot function which nudges you away from track edge. It sounds like a cheat, but it's actually a cleverly balanced little feature. If you race like a lunatic, it won't do you much good and you'll still clang and scrape your way around the circuits. It's less of a sop for rubbish players and more of a gentle helper for intermediate players.

If you're racing well, but haven't quite mastered the air brakes yet, Pilot Assist will pick up some of the slack. Rely on it in the higher speed categories, however, and you'll soon discover its deliberate limitations. Given how uncompromising the series has often been, it's a thoughtful way of opening the game out to newcomers without trashing the delicate racing balance.

People are talking about an unlock file & a Wipeout HD file? Apparently you should install the unlock file before the actual game or something then it will work?

After an hour and a half of downloading (so an average of 184KB/sec) that's it finally installed.

It doesn't run at all without the unlock file, so either they're going to release a trial unlock file or they plan on unlocking more content in future? (similar to the way that Super Stardust HD is patched to add everything in and you then buy a key to use it)

Just had a quick look at the options—make sure you change the screen size to 100% if you've not got any overscan on your display.



Apparently it's bad MP3 files that are causing the crashing, so I'd check that.

I did it afterwards. I couldn't load the game until I used the unlock.
 
Oh god I'm all wet

Motion sensing feels really good, though I'm still horrible with it, I can always say that it's my own fault when I hit a wall. Really totally awesome experience thus far.

*No freezes here.

Some ppl don't have mp3s at all and it is still crashing. Three people disabled internet and it works. So I think it is ps3 being connected to internet causing this

Na, thought it could be the case which is why I re-downloaded it and tried it in the opposite order, but it didn't change anything for me.

The game looks fucking AMAZING. fucking fun to play too! I love the new zone looks O_O (wish we had the seziure one though :( )

Anyone using motion controls only? I find it quite hard but am slowly getting used to it..

dang, so when does it freeze? online only?

As soon as I select anything on the title screen. And it's a complete lock-up to where you can't use the home button to back out of the game.

Didn't froze for me at all. Stop being such a negative man mr. Negative! But then again I played for like 15 minutes only.

I don't know. I'm not having such problems. But then again, I'm not logged online but just offline.

Including Queeg, there are four others that I have seen mentioning this problem on GAF. Euro PS forums also has a thread up with people posting about this.

Something crazy is going on. Its weird how its working perfectly for some, and not working at all for others. The internet connection is a bit concerning, if it isn't working because a certain NAT type isn't detected or something there should be some sort of disclaimer or something.

I don't have high hopes for when I attempt to download it late tonight.

I've been playing it continuously since I finished installing it, no problems here. I have to get back to playing while I still manage to get into the global top 50 on first try for a lot of events :lol

The game is amazing graphically, especially in terms of image quality. I wish more console games could even come close to this level of fidelity.
