Capcom Busy Working on Resident Evil 6 PS3 Fix
Capcom is apparently busy working on a fix for the PS3 version of Resident Evil 6.
CVG reports that some people have experienced issues when trying to load the game if it was bought through PSN, and after the day one patch was downloaded.
Capcom released a statement to IGN, explaining that “essentially it is recognized that some consumers who downloaded the game from the PSN store pre-loaded (pre-order) or within the early hours of launch may be experiencing problems booting up the game. In short, early purchasers who tried to download the game from PSN store may have seen an error message, after they downloaded the day 1 patch.”
To temporarily fix this problem, uninstall and reinstall the game. However, only do so if you saw the error message first hand. This time around you won’t be prompted to download the patch, and therefore the game should start without any problems. The patch will also fix the access problems players who purchased through PSN had with RE.net
