Crashing or Freezing in Las Hermanas area / Mother Superior mission after installing Undead Nightmare
Last Updated: April 28, 2024
Question: I keep freezing and crashing whenever I go near Las Hermanas for Mother Superior missions in Undead nightmare. When I go near Las Hermanas online, the game freezes and I can still hear my posse members but can't do anything. What can I do?
Answer: We are aware that there may be some streaming problems in the Las Hermanas area of the map after installing Undead Nightmare. This may cause your game to freeze when approaching the area, either offline while doing Mother Superior missions, or possibly online as well.
So far, one or more of the following workarounds has worked in all cases reported thus far:
Travel to another region/town, save, and then return to Las Hermanas. You can try another town in Nuevo Paraiso. If that doesn't work, try one in New Austin or West Elizabeth.
Approach Las Hermanas from another angle. If you were approaching from the south, try from the north, and vice versa.
Get off your horse and walk slowly to Las Hermanas. If the game is having trouble streaming, this could help.
As you approach Las Hermanas, watch for the HDD access indicator light to start flashing on your PS3. When the light begins to flash, stop moving until the flashing is done.
Walk backwards to the area and/or point the camera toward the ground while approaching in an area where there are no zombies. This could reduce the strain of calculations and drawing that the machine has to do.
Just to rule out other issues, clear your cache (360) or delete your RDR Game Data (PS3 -- note that this is NOT save data). Then, on either console, re-download the latest Title Update and the DLC.
