So, in the past I was able to do this mission.
After having completed the second matter board, I didn't know what to do so I saw that I had to do the mission again.
After the first few cutscenes, right before fighting the Darkers pso2 all of a sudden crashes.
I don't believe this is story patch related because I reinstalled all english patches as well as backing up to the original JP translation and left it that way.
I've done everything that the Tweaker allows me to do in order to update or check for missing/deleted files, repair gameguard, etc.
I'm thinking it may be a problem with my computer but I'm not sure what it could be at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
