Describe the issue

Freedom Fighters (SLUS_206.58) locks up randomly during gameplay, and after maybe 30 min of play. Happens in both the latest stable and later/latest betas. Compatibility settings do not help. Although "Accurate Reads" is needed for correct audio.

Game is installed on a internal SATA drive with a Gamestar SATA-adapter.

Console model

SCPH-35000

OPL version / revision

OPL stable 1.1 and later 1.2 betas

For how long did you play? I'd say you need to actively play for at least an hour. This issue is for when using a HDD, but great if we can rule things out. I also don't use PADEMU, VMC or GSM.

I can add that disabling in-game reset (Disable IGR) seemingly fixes the freezing. Tried playing for several hours twice, completing several levels w/o any freezing.

Found a more severe audio issue, despite using "Accurate Reads", during the attack on the rebel base when the voice lines of the enemy general play though.
