Is it the game or my PS3 (Borderlands) - Blu-ray Forum

Xombito · 01-31-2010, 09:17 PM

Is anybody experiencing green sparkling/flickering/screen corruption/whatever the heck it is when playing Borderlands? It happens only occasionally but I'm a little worried if it's my ps3.

And it's a slim model. My old PS3 did something like this. But it would freeze and now I got to get that fixed. The slim doesn't do that and it seems to only happen with Borderlands. Is this happening to anybody else?

I'm hoping it is the game. This happens to me on Borderlands and no other game. IIRC, it happens on one specific level on Borderlands and the others are fine, although I have not finished the game as of yet

Its happened to me when I have played Borderlands. It must be the game. I have the 60G.

This started with the last Borderlands patch.

Everybody seems to have it.

Otherwise it's an utter coincidence that it started happening with my entire playgroup simultaneously right after a patch, right at the same time and place.

can someone post a picture of this? (I'm curious).

Well I played MW2 online, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and R&C: A Crack in Time, Demon Souls (f'n hard! Argh!) and those are all fine. So it must be the game. I'm currently doing missions in the Middle of Nowhere area. If that's where everybody else is at.

don't know how to capture or post a PIC from PS3 but did find this on YOUTUBE....

apparently a few PS3 owners are experiencing this with Borderlands; that is basically what it looks like on mine...I'd add that the entire skyline will do this for a few moments and then goes away after you move to a different part of the map...

only started happening on the map where you re-activate the beacons and has subsequently only happened on this map (don't remember the name of map)

maybe they'll patch? IDK...for the moment it is not too much of a problem for me...distracting if you happen to be fighting and can't see your target(s) for this sparkle...

I'd thought I had corrupted the save file but now see that other PS3 owners are going through the same. Just glad it is not the PS3 itself and yes it seems to be the game
