[abed2007]

Hi everyone... im having a problem with my gof of war game.
i can' save or load by normal means.the game just freezes on me
so i used the save state slot option and it worked just fine.
anyway, here is my problem in short: before the barbarian with the Hummer i couldnt upgrade my weapons, everytime i tried it the game freeses and the emulator crashes. after beating the barbarian i was able to upgrade my blades but they disapeared
another problem is that the game just freezes again but doesnt crash wheneve i try to get out of that area. all i can see is a frozen picture of kratos and a "Loading" flashing at the bottom of the screen. waited for about 10 minutes but nothing happens. please help.

im using the latest pcsx2-r1888 version with the GSdx-r1076m graphic plugin.
tried with 0.9.6 version but cant load or save either and the same problem still goes on

Bug still exists, pcsx2-1.0.0-r5350, God of War II PAL, CRC = 0x44A8A22A. Problem with adding or upgrading weapon on the island with sisters of fate (game cant load checkpoints and locations, infinite "Loading" flashing). Of course I can avoid weapons' upgrading, but how can I avoid giving me Barbarian's Hammer? With this hammer I cant leave location (after defeating Barbarian's king) or die - game begin to "loading" forever. . Is there any patch to fix that? Simple "NEVER ACCEPT Barbarian's Hammer" will work, I think
P.S. Saves in game are not working too, but savestates were quite stable so far Sometimes I load from last checkpoint to reset all possible bugs in savestates.
