Any idea what could be causing Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time to freeze during the loading screen?

Axiom City on Terachnos, to be specific. About an hour or two into the game.
Up til now it's been perfect. This is also after I blasted through Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty with no problems.
Firmware is Rebug 4.84.2 (DEX mode)
1) This is the PSN version of the game, also tested on RPCS3 (copied straight from my PS3).

2) With RPCS3 I tested the exact same (now decrypted) save and was able to load the level fine. I'd play it there if the game wasn't currently broken and slow on said emulator.

3) Only things I have running is webMAN and psnpatch's safety plugin for PSN, both of which I've tried unloading with R3+L3+R2 before launching.

I tried creating a new save on the planet with RPCS3 and converting it back to an acceptable state for the PS3 with Bruteforce Save Data to see if I could get past it, but who knows what unholiness is going on with the saves once RPCS3 gets its hands on them. I put a few hours into trial and erroring that mess and it always end up "corrupted".

pls

have you tried to update the game?
 
I think Webman is causing this. I had issues in the past where games would freeze my system with Webman, even after unloading
 
i doubt this is webmans fault especially after unloading. the only issue i ever had with webman was freezing when unmounting an iso, but this was actually multiman clearing out things that webman was using. it would only freeze if i unmounted after using multiman and exiting it. i think its been fixed now.
 
My bet is you have some game files damaged, i would try to:
1) Uninstall it
2) Enter recovery menu and use "restore filesystem"
3) Install it again
4) Boot it and load your save


*The game works perfect in ISO format btw (and is the best ratchet and clank game published for PS3)
 
I have the game, since it's my favorite series on playstation, but I don't have a save to test. I have the psn version as well.
 
God dangit, those didn't work either. My final theory at the moment is there being a problem with the firmware version. Anyone know the odds? Main thing that's kept me from updating so far is the fact that only LITE Rebug's are available. I'd like to keep DEX!

And if anyone can properly resign this save for their system and want to try, they are welcome to.

And it definitely is a FINE game so far. I grew up on the OG trilogy and it is climbing to those heights fast.

I've seen stuff like that happen with rebug. that's when I updated to ferrox and the problem didn't follow. downgrading back worked after fixing trophies.
