Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored - both BROKEN!

Okay, I'm just ranting here.

*rant on*

I am about 75% of the way through Bioshock Infinite....an update gets released that breaks the game for a small number of people who happen to be near a certain spot in the game when the update is applied (game freezes at load screen) Awesome....they say a fix might be on the way with no timeframe.

To entertain myself while waiting, I started Dishonored. The game freezes at the load screen when starting the 3rd mission (in the distillery). I looked on the internet and saw a bunch of people last year having the same problem and no indication of a fix.

I've tried all the usual suspects with both games, reloading old saves, etc. Nothing works. Hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Bioshock because it apparently affects the DLC too...Dishonored I guess I am screwed.

WTF!? That is $120 worth of unusable games.

I kinda wish games gave you the option to NOT apply an update since I have never come across an update in any game that did something positive.

*rant off*

Thank you.

Thank you.
what are you playing on? PC? On 360 it always gives me the option to not install an update. On top of that you can remove the update if you want.

Sorry, PS3. I have never had a game give me the option, it just says an update is required and forces you to download/apply.

I think my next move for both games is to delete all the game data except save files and then turn off the system wifi so it can't go check for updates. I'll see how that pans out.

EDIT: okay, that method failed because it says the save files can't be loaded without the update since they were created with the update applied. crap.

Can you just delete the last update, and play off line?

i just tried that but all my save files had the update and they won't load without the update applied. So i would have to start over.

Check some sites. They have saves you can download on the ps3. Unless it's copy protected save.
