error 80010017 prior to a successful launch???

Hi guys, I'm a bit new to the ps3 scene and I seem to be having a few mystery problems: a few games I downloaded have launch problems I put this down to corrupt download files, (not all of them I have about 10 fully working backups) but yesterday I launched L.A. Noire from the ext HDD, it then displays an installing message, after about 5-7 mins game launches fine and I played for about 3-4 hours, saving no probs...today I was about to resume but the ps3 displays a 80010017 error on launching the game. I can't understand why a game that launched fine yestertday will not work after a console restart. If anyonehas had a similar problem I would be glad to hear from them... thanks

Sounds like you did a game update. That error means you're trying to run a 3.60+ game. Just so you know LA Noire must be installed from external, but played from internal because of a large 4GB+ file. Look in your file manager and you should see some files with extension 6661, 6662, 6663, etc

hmm, no game update, at least not that I know of...the console has never been online since I've had it. The game is installed on the internal hdd, even played from there as I said in previous post... The files with 6661 extensions are split files right? but when I check game properties in Multiman it shows 0 split files... I'm puzzled

im glad this is recent. im having the a similar problem with some older titles (atm Red Alert 3). there is no update, theoretically its confirmed to work int/ext and the disc works fine. it works fine when i copy the disc it to the internal so i know that it can be backed up, but if i copy the disc, or the backup it to the external i get the 80010017 error. i dont have any other problems with transferring games to my external so i know the external HDD isnt a problem. the only reason i ask is because my 3.55 is a 60GB and its a pretty big game so i would much rather continue my library on my 2TB external.

yep, still no luck tried deleting all game data, and re-launching from ext and int hdd, changing all launch settings (direct boot, ext game data, etc) nothing seems to work. Ill probably end up re-downloading the whole game, maybe saving some how caused the files to become corrupt... strange though, oh well I suppose its the price youve gotta pay for not paying for a game...bad karma or something like that
