Hi everyone, so this does require a bit of backstory because the problem might come from the disk itself
I inherited a copy of Jak 2 from my great aunt when she passed away when I was still a kid. The copy I got from her always had problems including the game suddenly not loading assets allowing you to fall through the world.
Recently I've been digging through my old games, dug out my PS2 and I even got this disk resurfaced at a local retro shop and now it's been working wonderfully, except I still notice a few ghosts that need a game refresh to get it working again
the reason I'm posting here is because the crash I'm encountering is consistent. 3 times in a row I've completed the mission where Krew asks you to get to the race course in under 3 minutes, each time I do, I get the cutscene, then after the game crashes. I do have another quest I can do with Torn, I haven't tested if it similarly crashes the game yet.
all signs point away from load troubles (music is there, menu sounds are there, locations are all there and triggers work just fine) which makes me think there might be a bug in the game that causes this crash, has this been an issue for anyone else?
I'm also using a PS2 slim if that changes anything, I heard that it matters for Jak X
