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 fixed the crash when entering the journal and hangups in
level 9 and 11.
To apply the fix, simply drop your BCES01175 folder (or whatever
your Uncharted 3 folder is named) onto the 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. Also be sure to have xdelta3 installed first.
If you like the game, please support the developers and buy it!

You don’t need to rejoin your pak23.psarc, if it is split, ’cause the patch doesn’t touch it.

Please provide some feedback, if the patch works for you.

NOTE: The windows fix has problems, if the game folder contains spaces or special characters, so if you folder is e.g. named “_BCES01175-[Uncharted 3 - Drake's Deception]” rename it to “_BCES01175″ before running the script. Alternatively copy the fix into the game directory, open a command prompt, cd into the directory and run “uc3_fix_windows .” (without the quotes)
