Game Hangs at Loading Screen - Possible Workaround
Hi!
I Just bought the season pass for the Wolf Among Us. Downloaded all five episodes, patched the game to version 1.02 and tried to launch the game.
I got to the main menu with no problems, checked the settings and started a new game from episode one. The screen went black with the loading logo on the bottom right corner. After a few seconds both the icon and the ps3 hdd led stopped. The game had hanged and I had to force shutdown the ps3.
Tried again, same result. Deleted the save game created, same result. Checked the forums and saw a lot of people complaining with similar problems. The solution was always "make sure your are connected to the internet". And I was...
So, tried to disable the internet connection and voilà, all problems solved. The game started beautifully.
I live in Portugal, have broadband fiber (100mbps/20mbps) and I don't have this issue with any other game. By the way, I'm on version 4.60 on the PS3.
Can the problem not be game related, but server related? Does the game hang if it can't speak with your servers (while the ps3 is online)?
Hopefully, I was able to get a workaround, but it will make me think twice about buying another Telltale game.

Yeah picked this game up on the summer sale as well. I also had one complete freeze when I first tried to start up the game, worked on the second attempt after I restarted the system though. Only played halfway through episode 2 and the game has had so many little couple second freezes so far that I'm constantly scared when it's going to blow again. xD Had to pause the game and try to google around a bit if other people are having the same.
Will try with Internet turned off and check if that works for me too, thanks for the tip!
