Latest Motorstorm download causing game/PS3 malfunction?

I am an European gamer and downloaded the Time attack mode in Motorstorm recently. Before I did that I read the instructions in the Playstation Store that said after downloading, take the game online and install if you get instructions to do so.

After downloading the patch I put my Motorstorm game in my PS3. After the Playstation 3 logo appeared the screen just turned black and nothing else happens. I have now tried to get the game going 4 times, but no luck. Nothing works at all.

Have anyone else experienced this? I played Motorstorm yesterday and it worked just fine. I also tried Resistance after downloading the patch and that game works fine. I wonder what has happened.

Can anyone please help me with this?

You're in luck, the same thing happened to me.:P

First you have to delete the 1.1 update you have installed in your PS3. Then start the game and go online, it will ask you if you want to download a new update. Download it and at the end it will ask you to restart the system. Press the home button and turn off your system. Turn it back on, go to the Playstation Store and download the time attack patch.

After doing all this, you're ready to go.:)

Exactly right my good man. It happens to all of us, You came to the right place. haha, They just didnt think it through, its nothing to do with the PS3 being broke or the disc, its just the ps3 goin 'BU...BU...HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RUN 2 OF THE SAME GAME' because the two updates are trying to run at the same time.

I downloaded the add on/patch but hadn't tried it yet. First of all thanks for posting this you saved me minutes of anxiety, paranoia and screaming f and b words at my playstation and TV (don't know why I would blame the TV but there you go) The second thing is, did it mention this in the instructions or did you figure it out yourself, if you did you're a genius and it's bad form from SONY et all.

Thanks for the answer my good man.

I began to feel sweat pouring from my forehead just from anxiety. One question though; how do I delete the 1.1 installment?(I am sorry to be such a fool, but I feel totally lost)

Again; thank you for your answer

In the intructions they say to go online with the gameand updatebefore installing the patch. The problem is that once you download the patch it automatically installs. You have to download the patch after you download the update, if you do it before your game won't work.

Thanks for the answer my good man.

Thanks to you all for very good help. Now I can sleep feeling good....wait a minute. I am not going to sleep, I am going to play Motorstorm!

I can not understand how you figured this out by yourself. The idea that it was possible to do something with this without help did not even cross my mind. I just started to swear!

Mr. B

well, i think the instructions could have been clearer and bigger.for me it was a case of being in to much of a hurry (and also not having downloaded an update before) that made me just download the one from the ps store first. i got an hdtv two days ago, and so i could see the instructions clearly enough, but before on my banger old telly i couldn't really, so maybe people with old banger tellies couldn't even see the instructions. and lets face it, who actually reads that stuff BEFORE they hit the download button, if ever? i felt that cold sweat too. what a horrible, stomach churning feeling it is.

but anyway, got it working. excelsior! it rocks! i suck (you'll find me in position 306 somewhere....:( oh well....

Hang on a minute. So if you go online on moterstorm at the minute there's an update.

And what you supposed to do is go online first download the update then download the moterstorm time attack.

But if you did it the oppersite way you have to delete you previous patch. Go online with moterstorm update the game and then download the time attack???

Have I got the right idea??????? Please let me know....

And thanks for the info!!!!!!!

I did it wrong by downloading Time attack first so it seized up.

Put it right as per the instructions on all the forum posts and it works fine but I have lost all my saved data do I am back to the beginning on all the tickets.

I own all three consoles (360, Wii and PS3) and the longer I own the PS3 the more disapointed I am with things like this and the lack of games and poor PS Store.

I am starting to get the feeling there is fundamentally something wrong with the PS3, it has all this power and does not have the functionality of the old Xbox let alone the new one.

It is supposed to get better but for some reason it feels like it cannot do much more than it is already doing, do you ever beleive they will be able to make the XMB visable at any time during a game for example.

the whole xbox 360 front end runs off a 16mb flash chip, yes thats right a 16mb flash chip, so funchionality hardly needs lots of power.

I know the 360 has had updates and changes to the front end as I have owned one since day one but fundamentallyapart from a few tweaks it is the same as day one.

the PS3 feels like it does not need tweakingon what it has now but a complete rethink and rewrite, I know home is going to wrap it all in pretty graphics but would you want to enter home just to get a game to run and join some mates, i here of no changes to the XMB and its functionality.

I just hope that I think of this post in about a years time and laugh that i thought the PS3 had reached its limits but i have never owned a console and felt so suspicious that I have an Aston Martin Engine in a Ferrari body which both on paper sound powerful but in reality cannot and will not ever work very well together, I feelI have the latest dual core mega PC but its running Windows MS-Dos.

I am sure this post will be pulled by the MOdS for moaning but I am really disapointed and wanted vent my frustration.

At first I was jealous of you guys in Europe for getting this. Now, not so much.:P

J.K.-I actually feel a little bad for you guys now, they finally throw you a bone and look.
