Running Modnation Racers on 3.55 Wutang/Geohot via Gaia 2.02 freezes on loading

Did you install the update via USB stick? Then installed lvl2packages right after?

Were you running internal or external?

Installed updated from PSN.

Lv2 was already installed. Just run it before playing the game or will just freeze at the loading screen.

Internal.

I tried what you said about starting lvl2 again after mounting game, I didn't think it would fix it but it worked. I finally passed initial loading screen, did the first race, it froze at 88 percent at the second race. I tried again but this time using lvl2v4 instead of v1, hopefully avoiding more crashes. This time I got past that race, and into the main menu of the game, I created a new character, car, track , tested the track twice. All fine, though when I exited the creation station and got back into the main hub, I crashed again mid drive, dunno why, was there fine before, so I guess its just random but I did play a good 30-45 so I'll chalk this one up as a success.

Oh also I was running from external, so its working there with patches too!

EDIT: I wonder what it is about running lvl2 AGAIN after mounting that helps this work?

Modnation Racers has big problem with PL3. When you play with PL3, game simply freeze at random moments. It doesn't matter that it is patched or not. We need to wait for hermes payload port or any new payload.

Right, I've been having the freezing problems all the same after installing lvl2 v4 and Multiman and running from internal, so looks like there's little to do but wait. At least I'm able to get online and download the likes of Johnny Cash and his kart, so little things like that are dandy.

Thanks for all the help so far though, I'll likely make a new post when Samurai Warriors 3 Z comes out.

Hey just reporting in that the game is working perfectly on Gaia Manager v2.04 on Kmeaw's firmware without any lvl2 patching. Thanks again for all the suggestions on what to do and such.

Still crashes for me with gaia manager v2.04

Seconding, looks like I'm right back to square one where I can't even finish a race anymore. Shucks, and after a full day of racing just yesterday.

just wanted to update.. I've successfully ran the game multiple times with multiple races online using the latest Gaia 2.05. Previously it would always freeze after the main screen off and on but not anymore (and I am running the latest game updates as well). Try Gaia 2.05 and see if you have better results. Remember with the newest Gaia there is no more discless (you must use a disc in the tray).

Hmmm...still no luck here.
Running patch 1.07 from internal with kmeaw 3.55, multiman 1.15/gaia 2.07.
Infinite loading screen at startup.
Any news on this one?

Run the fix permission in multiman before selecting the game see if that works. This is the only way I can play the game

My set up:

K-3.55cfw,internal.,atest multiman,fat ps3 MSG4 edition.
