How to fix Playstation Home v1.3 freezing issues
Home community manager details how to get around the issue
PlayStation Home v1.3 went live only yesterday, and the forums have already filled up with grumpy gamers who can't seem to get into the application after the latest update. This is exactly what happened to me. Once you enter the initial loading screens for Home, you will find a message followed by the log in screen, but as soon as you try to log in, your entire system would freeze, prompting you to switch off you console manually.
Home community manager, Locust_Star came forward recently and detailed how to fix the problem:
If you are experiencing difficulties logging into PlayStation Home, we suggest that you delete PlayStation Home from the PlayStation Network column on the XMB and then reinstall. You can do this by selecting the PlayStation Home icon and pressing TRIANGLE > Delete. Then simply reinstall by selecting the PlayStation Home icon, pressing X, and following the on-screen instructions.
If you still experience difficulties logging in after deleting and reinstalling the client, we suggest that you delete the Apartment save data for the last apartment that you visited. Deleting this save data will erase the furniture layout for the apartment selected, but it will not otherwise affect your inventory or cause you to lose any of your items. Select “Save Data Utility” under the “Game” column on the XMB. The name of the Apartment is displayed under the date of the save data.
Though the download for the file isn't too big, many Home-users might be disappointed. In erasing the application, all home spaces will be lost, and in my case, items as well. Hopefully Sony can pull out a v1.31 patch before the population of thier virtual living space plummets.
