Hello all you beautiful people, I need some advice at the moment.
So, I know this game is ancient and is the probably the cause of this problem, but every single time I try to load up Modern Warfare 3 on my console(PS3) it freezes. And I mean FREEZES. Like my whole system. The only way I can quit the game and un-freeze it is to do a complete PS3 restart, meaning I have to get up and push the power button. Even then, it takes a good five minutes to actually restart the system, as it simply remains at a black screen until it finally restarts.
Things I've tried to fix the problem with, but didn't work:
Clearing the GameData folder for Modern Warfare 3
Disabling theater mode
Tilting the console on its side and horizontally
Complete restore on my PS3
Things I know are not causing the problem:
Overheating (The PlayStation is well aired out and not hot while frozen. No pun intended)
The PlayStation itself (This happens on no other game, even games older than MW3)
What I think the problem is:
Based on my research, I believe the disk itself is what's causing the problem even though it oesn't have a scratch on it and is not that old. I bought a new disk for MW3 in early 2014, and it stopped working last August, so it didn't even last a year. It seems unlikely, but I think the problem lies somewhere within the disk.
It seems a bit ridiculous I would need to buy a whole new game, which is still $40 on the Playstation store even after 4 years, but if this is what I need to do then I can do it. I'm pretty sure the game is cheap at gamestop. I just want to make sure there is no a problem elsewhere befroe I purchase a new disk.
