Hey. Hope you guys can take time to read this and help out:(
Background, bought a brand new ps3 super slim a few weeks ago. Played 2 other games on it before Dark souls (Demon Souls and Ni No Kuni). Never experienced problems on those games or the system otherwise. Started playing Dark Souls on saturday on PS3.
So... at some point during me taking the elevator down from firelink shrine to new londo ruins i notice theres some graphical glitching, i can see through the elevator shaft walls. So i go up and down to see if it dissapears then suddenly disk read error. I reboot ps3 and well, everything seems to be fine, np with save.
Now later, pvping in TOmb of the giants im invading. While invading i get tired of waiting after using the orb so i warp using the bonfire and at the same time i get the invading message, well somehow this doesnt compute well and i end up getting a disk read error again. I figure this is simply a rare occasion. And now today once again going to valley of drakes through the firelink elevator i notice the same glitch. invisible elevator shaft, i press quit to try and reload but instead i get another disk read erro.r and from now on things get messy.
Upon reloading the shaft is weird again but i ignore it and pull the lever and when elevator comes everything is normal. BUT! Down in new londo graphics is weird and alot of stuff is missing, also it seems like the loading symbol is active and by waiting some time most things seem to load. I go to valley of drakes and same thing, but suddenly boom, disk read error. After reloading and walking around the problem persists and another disk read error... now im really worried that the save is corrupt . But to check that theres nothing wrong with the ps3 or game i decide to make a new character
Kill the asylum demon and go to new londo with the new char and valley of drakes, everything seems fine actually. So i decide to load back to my old save and now suddenly things are good again. CAn someone explain what the heck is going on?
1: Can i expect it to work from now on? Did i fix the problem?
2: is it likely that the save game was corrupt after the first disk read error? And how common is this? Is ther something wrong with my copy or ps3 that i should worry bout?
