I've created a new fix for Uncharted 3, which does not require unpacking your psarc files and fixes the journal and cutscene hang issues.

This is based on the other full fix floating around, but only patches really required files. Also the fix will work on both windows and unix.
I've done some testing on Windows 7 x64 and Mac OS X Lion.

This is a proper fix to allow playing of Uncharted 3 [BCES01175] on CFW 3.55 (3.41 untested). This fixes the crashes when entering the journal and hangups in level 9 and 11. To apply the fix, extract it to your BCES01175 folder (or whatever your Uncharted 3 folder is named) and run uc3_fix_windows.bat script, which should open a console window to show progress. Linux/Mac OS X/other unix users, please use uc3_fix_unix.command script instead and give the path to BCES01175 folder as the first argument or run it from the game direcitor. Also unix users must have the program xdelta3 installed. This is the REPACK of the fix. If you previously applied the fix and have freezes in chapter 5 or somewhere else, please apply this new fix and answer yes to the first question, it will then use a different patch to modify your already patches .psarc files. If you restored backups of your original .psarc files answer no to the first question. If you like the game, please support the developers and buy it! Release Notes: v5 of the REPACK fixes issues with spaces in the path name on windows and a broken exit condition in the unix version of the fix.

You don't need to rejoin your pak23.psarc, if it is split, 'cause the patch doesn't touch it.
You do however need the original actor33.psarc, bin.psarc and text1.psarc or the modified versions from the first release of this fix.

You can download the fix from: http://www.multiupload.com/VLBNFFXFZF

UPDATE: Uploaded the REPACK of the fix, this should fix freezing issues in chapter 5. To apply it, no longer drop your game folder onto the script, but instead extract it to your BCES01175 and run the fix (uc3_fix_windows or uc3_fix_unix). If your previously applied the fix, your .psarc files have already been modified, so the fix asks if this is the case and takes proper action.

UPDATE2: Uploaded a new version (REPACK v5), that should fix all those issues with spaces in the path for windows users. Now it shouldn't matter wether any of the directories contains spaces or if you run the patch from the game directory or drop the game folder onto the batch file.

Please tell if if you still have any issues with the fix and be sure to re-download if it doesn't say REPACK v5 when you start the script.

thx, thats 2 off them down

im repacking the actor33 folder to psarc as i type this, along with the 2 you just sent, so that will be 3 done. What other ones were there?, and was there any off them that were originally folders, from when we first had the game in original format?

cheers.... wookie

Well you can repackage actor33.psarc from actor33 folder using original psarc.exe from sony sdk using "psarc.exe create -S -oactor33.psarc actor33", however this will most likely cause the posted fix to fail, because you don't have an bit-exact archive file.

This is basically what I did to create the binary patches against the original .psarc files. Of course this way you can also recreate the .psarc files if you already followed the instructions from the original fix, only note that to recreate bin.psarc command line would be "psarc.exe create -obin.psarc dc1".

im just gonna try running the game from external withthe folders repacked to psarcs, i patched them a cpl off days ago, just gonna see if it runs quicker with the main big psarc split and cached by Multiman and rest run off external

[atmosfear]

The compressed versions should be faster, because less I/O is needed and cpu power to decompress is pretty low. Also removing all cache lines from camera.txt could speed up loading, though I've not done comparisons.

was movie1, boot1, gallery1, misc1, sound1, vtex1 all originally psarc files and not folders?, I cant remember what ones i ran through psarc.exe, a cpl off days ago to turn them into folders lol

So your saying i cant run your FIX through this when im done re-packing the folders?

sorry the last bit off what you added confused me ,didnt u send the orignally bin.psarc in the link i downloaded? im backing up all my folders anyway in case this doesnt work for me and game doesnt load anymore lol


another question, with the unpacked folders they would list in alphabetical order in MAIN folder,now they are back as psarc files they are not, do they need to go in right place in list in BUILD/MAIN folder?
