    Game freeze and nothing else...why ?

    Hello.
    Yesterday around 10:30PM CET I had started a secondary mission, level 30, was indoor and suddenly during a fight the game completely freezed, no sound. All freeze. I could goto main PS4 menu and do everything, go back to game and still all would be freezed. NO blue screen, nothing, just the still image of me shooting was there...nothing I could do.
    So after a few minutes I went to main PS4 menu and closed app. Relaunched and played for almost two hours without anymore an issue.
    Why did this happen ?
    Thanks, ciao.

    U had this happen at tidal basin before when playing with a friend. I went to pull my specialization weapon out and a quarter of the way through that animation my game froze. It never shut its self down or restarted or went to the main menu screen. My Xbox was still working and my friend was still playing fine. He died tho eventually. But I had to manually shut the game down from the Xbox home screen and restart it. I have since turned off the effect the game does when switching to a specialization weapon in the settings in the hope that it will keep me from having the same issue again.

    Hey,

    I can't say for certain why this occurred. However, when it does, are you able to note down the location if you remember and if anything out of the blue occured?

    Also, what PS4 are you using?

    Had the same thing happen to me 2 nights ago I think it was. While playing Coney Island ballpark mission was at the final fight and I couldn’t do anything I was the session owner as well so I couldn’t help my team member. He had to clear it alone since I wasn’t able to do anything. I have the release model PS4 with upgraded hard drive. Had to close the game to be able to play again. I did not close it until my team make finished the fight. Was real annoying

    Sounds like you guys encountered a Delta or Alfa error, where the game freezes and you are in an indefinite staring contest. I once had a Delta error and it took me 5 minutes + just to be kicked out of the game. Every patch they distribute there is a known risk for server errors, hope they find the cause for it soon.

    Most likely. Mine stayed frozen for maybe 10 minutes or more and never disconnected until I closed the application after my teammate cleared the final fight since I was session owner didn’t want to kick him out of the fight by leaving.

    Not entirely sure what error it is but needs to be fixed.

    ...wow...which means that just local UI is messed up but game continues and PS4 still talks to servers for that same game, nice... all right...

    Yeah so if you are in a group when it happens make sure you don’t quit until the mission/engagement is over. At least the group members can get credit for the event or XP or whatever it is you are doing at the time. But I didn’t get credit for it. I had to redo the Coney Island ballpark mission again for the manhunt since I didn’t get credit for it.
