If Diablo 3 hangs on the PS3 when starting, there can be several reasons. We'll show you how to solve the problem.

Diablo 3 hangs on the PS3 - that can help

• There were numerous bugs in the game at the start of Diablo 3. If your console has never been connected to the internet since it started, you should do so now to install any updates.
• If the game does not start properly, the cause may also be the DVD. Check for scratches and carefully clean the underside.
• If there is an error in the installation, simply run it again. Go to the "Game Data Utility" category in the home menu and delete the data for Diablo 3. There you can reinstall the game. This will not delete your saved game.
