Forum:This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough... Random Explosion Glitch

I'm in the last mission for Mothership Zeta and am at the part where I am supposed to defined the ship from the other alien ship attacking.No matter what I do my player always ends up randomly exploding and dying, seemingly as after a certain time. Its not from the other ships attacks and no aliens are killing me, I just die and I can't fix this. I tried it about 10 times and got the same result every time. With no saves from the wasteland (I fucked up I know) I wonder if I'm about to lose 70 hours of data? I'm on PS3 btw.

Any help on how to fix this problem? Its restricting me from finishing the mission and returning home.


 * Whenever something stupid like this happens on my PS3 I try emptying the game's memory cache. That's when you go to 'game data utility' (under "Game") and then click on "Fallout 3" one and delete it. Don't delete the "Fallout 3: DLC" one. Then try playing the game again. At first the load times will be a bit slower but it'll catch back up realtively quickly. This usually fixes random glitches like this... Hope it works :) Metalspork 06:46, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

I'm trapped on the mothership though so leaving the DLC data but removing the normal game data sounds risky. Still looking around for help, if I have to I'll give that a try.


 * It doesn't delete your data or do anything like uninstall the game. I've used it many different times. I did have a glitch in Mothership Zeta in my game where it would freeze at the same part of the intro (when you first get abducted), and emptying the cache fixed it. It also helped when my Point Lookout was being ridiculously laggy to the point where I couldn't walk around...


 * The part it deletes, if I'm correct, is the part of the console that it stores information in to make the game load faster. When you first buy FO3 it's not as fast as after you play it for a while. This is because of the game cache. The 'saved data utility' is different than the 'game data utility' (the game data utility is the game cache). It's okay to delete the game data utility when your last saved game is in an add-on... I've done it many times :) There's nothing risky about it. You can google it if you want :P Metalspork 02:11, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
