PS3: cannot load from saved game

[leftnotracks]

I have a fully updated PS3 Slim and fully updated GTAV. I can start the game and the last save loads up and I can play it. But I cant load a saved game, even the most recent autosave (the one that loads fine on startup). I can only quit the game then restart.

 

If I want to load an earlier game I have to backup all newer saves then delete them so my desired save becomes the most recent.

 

This is a huge PitFA.

 

Any solution?

I had the same problem, try putting all your savegames exept one on a external harddrive or a USB-stick and start the game on that one save, if it works try reinstalling your other saves. It worked for me.

Didnt work. If I dont get other suggestions soon I think Ill have to reinstall. Phuq.

 

Here's what I did:

* Copy all saves to USB stick.

* Delete all but one save.

* Start game. Saved game loads fine.

* Play for a bit, but dont save or do anything that forces an autosave.

* Load only saved game. Load screen just stays up and game never returns to let me play.

It's been happening because of the Christmas DLC. Before you play the game, sign off PSN. If you sign back on at any point, you'll have to quit the game and then restart in order to be able to load saves again.

 

But starting the game while logged off PSN works fine for me, no more stalling while loading saves.

Yep xenorama is right and tho you can sign out of PSN whilst the game is loading, (tap Ps button for menu) IF its already "frozen" at least, it still wont affect it. You'd still have to restart the game

Since it does seem to have to do w/ the Christmas DLC, maybe that will go away once the DLC goes away (Jan 5). Curiously, I dont know about anyone else but it seems like the first time I go to my "Load Game" the list of save games has taken a lot longer to show up ever since this DLC appeared. Anyway, being signed out of PSN before starting the game def works for me too.
