Starting around this past Saturday (Feb 23rd) whenever I use the game map or the spawn location screen the map takes a significant time to update. It can sometimes take the up to 4 seconds after inputting an action, this makes it very frustrating to zoom or select my spawn point. I feel like I'm playing blind now, I have no idea what the hell is going on in the zones around me!
Many users experiencing issues with their menu/map have resolved their problems by following troubleshooting steps in the below thread: http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/map-freez-solved.69268/ If your problems persist, I'd suggest submitting a ticket thru our support system, instructions to do so can be found in my signature.
Also you may use [this solution] to solve your problem. The problem itself described at [this thread]. Unfortunately it's a temporary solve the problem. One of the ways to permanently solve this problem is [renaming user's path variable]. Game will start delete files when the user's "My Pictures" path variable will consists of only latin literals. Other way to solve this problem is ask developers to use another "system path" variable. The system %tmp% path or "My Pictures" for "Public" user.
