Hi,


They game used to run great up until i started "Elysia" world.
I started to get REALLY LONG load times when opening doors. Also when i wait for the door to open i can hear the background music start to stutter.
At one point, after waiting about 5 min for a door to open, the game graphics got trashed, all the colors were wrong and messyÂ

What going on ?
Anyone else had the same issues ??

How can i fix this?

Thanx!

I found out a lot of people are having problems with this game....

The fact that doors rarely open when u shoot them pisses me off, you have to fk about so much to open a simple door.

I think thats because the game has to load the next area while you wait at the door. Wasn't such a big deal in the first Prime but in Prime Hunters it was very noticeable. I've not played this game yet but in some reviews I've read you can be waiting for up to 10 seconds for a door to open whilst being attacked etc.

I always hated that. Some times they would take forever, other times they would open on impact. Followed me through every Prime title...

(That loading theory does make sense, however)

I also dont go with the loading theory. I dont notice any reading of the disk when doors open, The rooms are hardly big enough to require any loading from disk. Just a stupid bug they never managed to fix. It really does put me of the game tho, espically shooting at a door 10 times.

From IGN review:

The upgraded visuals may have come at a small price, though, because the load times between some doorways have increased over the original Prime and its sequel. The majority of the time -- say 95 percent -- the doorways will seamlessly open to reveal the next area, but every so often you'll be forced to wait as long as 10 seconds for a door to open, which breaks the momentum of the action. Worse, sometimes you might have no choice but to fend off attacks from enemies like Metroids while you wait.

Same thing is mentioned in loads of the reviews and as it's the same devs as DS Hunters, where they specifically said it was to mask loading, I'd be surprised if it were a stupid bug they never managed to fix.

Some loading in Prime 3 is also masked by cutscenes when they occur.

I've noticed a nasty glitch with MP3 on my friend's PAL Wii (3.0E). He's got WiiKey with 1.9 firmware, exactly the same setup as I have, and I applied the anti-dual channel fix to both and killed the power at the same time. MP3 works perfectly for me, but as soon as I went to the visor selection screen on his, the selection screen started flashing on and off. The only way to get rid of it is to turn into the morphball. Has anyone else had this problem?

EDIT: Just noticed that someone was having the same problem a few pages back.

EDIT 2: Aaaaaand the fix seems to be changing to PAL 60Hz
