When in the decryption and copying files section the process can hang indefinitely

[fac7orx]

When decrypting a game such a killzone 3 the "decrypting and copying files..." process hangs at around 10.88GB transferred, and cannot recover. The transfer then continues to bounce around this number and never go beyond it.

Using a compatible drive on the list: WH14NS40

Attach log. But usually this means your disc is scratched, so it has to retry bad sectors multiple times, which is super slow.

Hi you can get the log file here:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/7t5rt9gzbn897vn/2019-09-06.log/file

There may be remnants of me attempting another run. I did do another run and so far it is on 12.13GB. So it got passed the 10.88GB area this time around for some reason. However, I am fearful it may hang at some other spot. Will report back if it does.

Hi,

It seems to have hanged again at 24.38GB this time. Here is the new log file:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/5i4w6pysgyvwawp/2019-09-06%25282%2529.log/file

Update:

Tried for a 3rd time. So far 2x in a row it hung on 24.38GB. I am going to try another gmae. This one was used. The other one I purchased is brand new.

why mediafire lol, just zip it and attach here directly. you're trying to dump a damaged 2-layer disc, of course it will have problem on the first layer, and then on the second at the same spot

Killzone only log: 2019-09-06(2).log

Log with a bunch of messing around trying mgs and killzone: log zipped.zip

The other log was too big to host. It encompassed a lot of crashes. However, I compressed it as suggested and was able to post it here directly.

I would agree with you with the disc is used and perhaps has some scratches. If possible please check logs to make sure, but I will take your advice and get a disc cleaner for the other game. Hopefully, I don't have to repurchase. I did experience the hang on the mgs legacy collection. It may be in that 45mb log. However, I got mgs to successfully transfer at this time after retrying it. Killzone 3 disc is still causing me some issues. Thank you for the help so far.

Would it be possible to maybe add a warning if it gets stuck in this hanging state where it is constantly retrying? Maybe like "Check disc for scratches? after it tries a few times and then either a continue or cancel button? This could help the user troubleshoot instead of messaging right away?

I managed to extract some other games ok at this time after messing around a bit.

Did not work:

Killzone 3: Perhaps is scratched too much

Worked:

Uncharted 1 Uncharted 2 Metal gear solid legacy collection

Thank you again and the tool is pretty good I appreciate the time you have taken to make it :).

Update:

I managed to get the Killzone 3 disc dumped successfully. Here is the log. I am not sure what exactly I did differently: 2019-09-07.log

So, I got all my games transferred ok. However, There are logs above for reference that had failures/ hanged, if anything stands out to you or may be the disc was just scratched. Thank you again.

you did nothing differently, it's just OS/drive cached the problematic sectors, so it took less time to go over them
