It's crashed once on me too. The engine sounds of my car kept going but everything else was frozen. Since it's only happened once I assume it was a fluke.

so is it a bug in programming? not a bad burn or nuke release?

i am using verbatim dvd+rw, so i don't think it's the media problem

well i only use RW(rewritable) disc to test, so most of the time it take longer to load etc. i did burn True Crime to a Philips DVD+RW, where it crashed, got a white screen...but when i burn it to a dvdr it works perfect...

yep, exactly the same with me, running off hard drive, crashed a few times, about 7 intotal, but considering, ive had about 30 hours gameplay, not bad really, just randomly hangs, with engine noise "WWWIIRRRRRRRR!!!!!".............no probs, though, doesnt do it at the same point, so can carry on

latest bios
samsung drive etc, etc

I have the Riot release, and I noticed that every once in awhile it will crash (happened twice) whenever I have alot going on on the screen, like multiple things loading. It would freeze, but the sound effects are still going. I burned it at 1X on a Verbatim, so I KNOW speed, and media aren't an issue. Also of note, I also have this on PS2 and I made a 1:1 copy at 1X on a Verbatim, and it crashes sometimes on that machine too!! WTF? It doesn't happen that often, but I think maybe there might be some programming issues, since I have used the highest quality media at the lowest possible speed on BOTH consoles. Also, I have a V7 PS2 which reads all media great so far, and my Xbox has a Samsung which has read everything fantastically! It is a shame, since I really enjoy this game. I guess I should save as often as possible, hehe. I vote for programming mis-haps on this, you be the judge!

i have true crime for ps2 also, but i haven't experience any crush during gameplay yet. may be i was just play it for 30 minutes.

i think the developer knows that the game will crush but they can't fix it since the city is so hugh, so they just put in a autosave feature.

i guess the only solution is to save often. i have true crime for ps2 and it didn't crush during the 3 hours that i played. although it was not as smooth as the xbox version.
