Much like its predecessor, LittleBigPlanet 2 is experiencing a few technical difficulties during its first few days in the would-be capable hands of its creative community. Some players have reported that when they attempt to connect with other players online, they hit what's being colloquially referred to as the "Infinite Loading" glitch, which freezes the game on a neverending loading screen. (Which is, as you might imagine, kind of a bummer.)

The exact cause of the issue is unknown, though, fortunately, there's a quick and dirty workaround (which worked for us, when we experienced the glitch): If you get stuck on the loading screen, turn your controller off and wait for the level to load. Once you're in, you can turn your controller back on and get back to whatever it was you were doing. Probably slapping around your fellow players and being generally unhelpful, you jerk.

Media Molecule had not responded to our request for comment as of publishing, but a recent tweet from the developer seems to indicate that a freezing glitch has been cornered and a fix is in the works.
