    I know a lot of you have probably experience them, but I went through some threads, and it looks like not a lot has been explained, so here I am trying to get more answers.

    1) Frozen in cover fire
    2) Audio dropping
    3) Scenery glitching in and out

    And I don't know if I had anymore. Anyways, if someone knows the answer that would be nice. I kinda would like Rockstar to fix this so I can play it without any bugs. I almost thought I bought a bad copy.

    I have had these too, the freezing in cover one nearly makes it unplayable.

    Thing is, I NEVER experienced any of these on the 360.

    The only glitch I've had through three full Campaign playthroughs and countless single levels was a one-time instance of the freeze-in-cover glitch.

    I guess I'm lucky? Of course I never play this online, so maybe it's less of an issue offline or something.

    Ive had #s 1 and 2 happen to me but not # 3. The sound cut ff twice in my 1st (so far) playthrough but the frozen in cover, my god, this happened to me SO MANY times it was crazy.

    My friends never experienced it also for their 360's, but I think it's because they have 2 disks, and PS3 has this cluster f*ck on 1 disk. And Idk if the PS3 can handle all it. But this is just what I think.

    My biggest pita glitch is shootdodge ofter actives the weapon wheel instead of shoot dodge which equals Max dies. T.T Nice work Rockstar!

    The PS3 can handle it all. MP3 doesn't come close to filling a full Blu Ray(it's around 35 gigs on PC, and I believe that is uncompressed everything, with increased textures), so it's not it. It's just the way RAGE works. There's usually less pop in on PS3 versions of R* games though. GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption and even GTA V(the GI demo was on a PS3, and they said they saw very, very little pop in, if any).

    Not sure what the deal with MP3 is though.

    When I was playing through the campaign for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I hit the "freeze in cover" glitch about three times. From what I could tell, I seemed to cause it if I quickly tried to peek out of cover holding the left trigger while also moving the camera with the right stick afterwards. I'm sure there's some combination of animations that is likely to cause it to happen, and I think it's a combination of those two actions.

    Anyhow, you can easily "unfreeze" yourself by rolling away from the cover. This could be a bit problematic if you are under heavy fire though...

    I actually haven't had cover freezing since chapter 3. Does turning on the effects of golden guns fix it? That seems to be when I turned them back on. Just a thought *shrug*

    If I missed it skimming over these, in case you're dumb like me, you can roll to unfreeze. I would just wait to get murdered until I read it somewhere when looking it up. Happened to me the whole game.

    I spoke too soon. It started freezing me up in cover with a frequency that says, "let's make up for lost time."

    This has happened to me an annoying amount of times. Thank goodness for the check points being close together. My roommate played this for 360 and he said he never experienced this. Might be a PS3 only thing. Lame.

    I was looking through a Steam board for this, and it looks like the Steam version has the issue,as well.

    Wow.
    I just started the game and I've had 3 freezing in cover and 1 freeze during the scene between chapters 1 and 2.
    Luckily I could still use the XMB to quit.

    After reading a couple of topics here I can see that the freezing is here to stay.
    It's a shame really, I was looking forward to play this game.

    I got the game since yesterday, and I've had the freezing in cover (thank god for rolling away) a few times and even got a bug where max and all the enemies through fell th the floor during a shootout on chapter 5. But I am still enjoying the game, warts and all.

    I just hope I don't run into something more serious later on. *touch wood*

    I've had freezing in cover loads of time. I've been able to break out of it a few times by double tapping x (rolling). But it is really annoying playing on hard when playing from cover is important.

    I've also had it fail to load the checkpoint twice now after a death, and in both cases I've had to restart the game.

    I've also once had a dead guy's arm block a door that I needed to go through to continue the game, preventing it from being opened, therefore needing to restart the checkpoint.

    It's pretty glitchy indeed.

    Oh you! LOL!

    Anyway on topic, I ran into the sound bug last night, during the last stage in chapter 12 when there was gunfire and explosions going off and then silence. Bah, although that's no where as annoying as the stuck in cover glitch, thank god you can roll yourself out of there, but the amount of times when Max won't move in cover is starting to wear my patience.

    I just froze in cover fire. I had to quit the game. Fix this glitch now
