Advanced Warfare still freezes on PS3, Activision aware of the issue

Friday, 9 January 2015 10:13 GMT By Sherif Saed

Some of those who play Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on PS3 have been reporting game freeze issues since as far back as November, and they’ve yet to get fixed.

call_of_duty_advanced_warfare

The freeze issues reported by players were never fixed, according to the most recent forum posts. The reason the furore has been revived again is because Advanced Warfare has only just received its latest patch on PS3.

Another user has also reported the issue on the community forums, and many more are still talking about it on Twitter.

“The MP freezes are known. The developers are working hard to resolve the freezing issues. The recent update was to address connectivity and DLC problems,” reads a reply by a moderator.

Thanks, Gamespot.
