The issue im having has something to do with older save files.Upon opening TPA, i get the black screen that we usually see right before it gives you the "Installing Trophies/Checking ticket for Leaderboard access screen". Normally at that point, i hear the little beep you get when it loads your save file, and then the fan kicks in and you can hear the ps3 loading/running or whatever as it does its thing. But now, instead of that message, i hear a very faint beep, and then it does nothing as it sits at black screen until i reset my ps3. So i decided to delete my save file & see what happened. Voila...TPA loads up, creates a new save file, and all seems well. Except of course that i no longer have my goals & local scores from before. Now before you guys say i have a corrupt save file...i do not. the Ps3 will give you a message saying there is a corrupt save file and will try to rebuild the data base. It does not do this. I experimented with my other accounts that i have on my ps3 that ive played TPA on, and i get the exact same results. Unable to load with the old save files, deletion of old save files and letting the game create a new one allows TPA to load up with no problems. I've even pulled my back up saves from both the ps + cloud, and one i had on a usb stick to see if those worked, and no dice. Ive been getting my TPA fix on Vita or Droid lately, and i havent played on my ps3 in quite some time. Not sure how many updates ago i actually loaded up the ps3 version, but perhaps somewhere along the way or in this most recent update, older save files that havent been saved to an updated version in awhile have become  incompatible with the current version. All i know is i have quite a few tables that i was only one wizard goal away from completion & now i might have to start over. And thats a bummer, man.</blockquote>
