the game freezes at the pre-match loading screen

[waleedgaber.619]

Unfortunately i made a mistake by NOT backing up my files so i can't remember where i've gone wrong , on ps2 when i pick the characters and start the match the game freezes and the wwe logo stops spinning , the match only starts when i have the smackdown arena selected , when i pick other arenas it freezes .
On pcsx2 when i pick other arenas the match will start but the arena will not be the one that i picked , it will be the smackdown arena too , with lilian garcia floating frozen with her arms spread as if she is displayed in noesis , and the actual match starts with the smackdown arena even though i've picked another one .
Any help ?

maybe the problem is the bg.pac did you did something with arenas i mean did you replaced one or something?

i think as HARDX36 ..you must have did somethin' wrong inside the bg.pac, for this reason arenas freeze ..anytime a modder decide to to something is good rule the making of a COPY about the file/s you wanna change...if you have a copy of ORIGINAL bg.pac the only way is comin'back ..

Waleedgaber.619, You will need the original .arc file. You're having problems with all arenas so i guess you'll need to reset the bg.pac, just copy the STG reference from the original arc file and "paste write" with the current .arc file. This should solve the problem.

you should try what the guys have said above.
if it won't works, the problem could be in the models of the announcers..

 

[waleedgaber.619]

Yeah i've imported some arenas indeed , what is the STG reference ?what should i search for ?

 

[Fofo]

Inside STG are the arenas.
Open original .arc file, search string for "STG" and copy the references of arenas and overwrite with your current .arc file. This will reset all your arenas to default.

it should be enough

Its still not working after replacing the string and putting back the original bg.pac

Are you running pcsx2 with cheats enabled? Perhaps you enabled the black arena cheat?

Yes the cheats are enabled and the arena is black indeed (didn't know it was the cheat) , and i saved it with the stuff unlocked and transferred the save to the ps2 and it freezesn ps2 , what do i do t fix that on the ps2 and have everything unlocked ?

 

[nikethebike]

Hmmm... I doubt that cheat is savable.

 

[waleedgaber.619]

I have saved it before and converted to ps2 and it worked , but back then the unlocking cheat was on but the arenas were not black , do you know how to disable the black arena but enable the unlock code ?
EDIT : I have started the game with no saves (no cheats from pcsx2) and the game still freezes , so it has nothing to do with the cheats , what could it be ?
