UT3 Mods Crashing PS3's even in campaign mode

There are various posts on the official UT3 forums saying that one of the user created mods 'Cooked' by Epic games is crashing PS3's.

People are pointing towards the 'Mutator' mod that was released.

As this is a user mod it is unclear who will look into this problem as if Epic look into the problems they will simply be a free testing arm for PS3 user mods and this task will become impossible once they release their utility for pc users to cook mods themselves.

This mod was obviously cooked for use by Epic so i think they will look into it but it does raise some questions about managing user created mods being used unintentionally/intentionally in virus like ways.

Just like mods on pc do not install multiple ones at a time, test it fully after installing it. At least then you know which mod caused the issue and it can then be removed.

Crashing ps3s isn't the same as totally breaking down so that you need to send the whole system back. The crash only means you need to restart the game or disable UGC...no wonder you only have 1 bubble

At least it's not RRODing on us so..

Plus, I'm sure they'll patch it soon, we're grateful enough that EPIC is stepping in for cooking those mods before they release the proper requirements to the public for making'em, and mods are better than no mods so there's nowhere to turn this into bad news amigo.

So uh, till then you can buy ten extra maps on your white garbage console for hundreds of $s and let your precious Microsoft suck you dry with their WTF-policies, and we'll just enjoy our infinite free ones till they patch this small glitch to the minority.

this title is misleading, its 1 mod thats causing the system to exit app.

the threads headline is " mods causing crashes".

mods is plural. meaning more than 1.

it appears n4g trolls are uneducated lil kids.

there is only 1 mutator available so far...the rest of the content is simply maps...

so its the regeneration mod?...and a lot of people had reported no problems with that...

and as pointed out...it doesn't "crash", as in freeze the system or doing anything damaging...it just auto exits the game, as in Epic implemented a protocol for unstable mods...in which is just tells you to restart the game...kind of sounds like some are a little desperate to make something big out of this...

No idiots. UT3 has been crashing PS3's even before the mods. It's obvious seeing as how the game was basically pressure and rushed to come out by the end of this year. So all the bugs are still roaming somewhere in there. It's unacceptable at the same time, they were under pressure in making the game come out.

no it just shows how unreliable user generated mods are id rather have a controlled eexperience thats guaranteed to work.

P.S. i have all three consoles ( about 50 games, only 4 ps3 games and 6 wii games u guess how many 360 games i have) and an hdtv. So before u start flamming keep in mine i bought all of this with my money that i rarely turn on two of my consoles i'll let u figure out which one i play.

LOL!! So you have 40 360 games? You're either a liar or a loser. People who buy this many games can't be right in the head, I don't care how much money you have. I have a dozen 360 games and there are only about five that I might wanna keep. Its not like there's any need for me to keep Dead Rising.

11.3 - Actually ..

.. to make a statement that "You are an liar / loser" for having so many games (for any console) kind of makes you an idiot. I use to play the trade in game and finally got super sick of getting fvcked over.

I remember getting offered $4 for a game I spend $60 and tax on. Well, you know what, for the sake of the BIG AMOUNT OF $4 in my pocket, I will KEEP IT !! Or better yet, rather than sell it to places like EB or GS for $4 to see them turn around and sell it $35 ... I would feel better to GIVE IT AWAY or sell it for $10 to someone who really wants it.

EB and GS = THE DEVIL

TRADING IN GAMES ON FEED THEIR POWER and allows them to keep fvcking "We The Gamers" over.

Getting little to NO cash for games you paid go money for does not sit right with me. ESPECIALLY good multiplayer games.

PS .. I have almost 30 games right now. Do I play every one every day ?? NO ... but who said you have to play everyone everyday ... you don't. Case in point, had a new friend pop on last night with GRAW2, so I was glad I still had the game so we could play together.

15 - Bugs everywhere....

Go check on any software development site. Check for number of open bugs on their trackers. Normal to have hundreds of bugs open - even when the "stable" version was released.

I coded for many years. Managed a development shop. Bugs are part of life. No reflection of the hardware - or of the software after a few runaway processes are reigned in.

Games are complex pieces of software engineering. They will create a patch and releases.

The clowns trying to point at the hardware (except for if it just overheats and dies) as being the root cause is plain daft.
