LIZARD SQUAD is Back. Planning XBL Attack. "Biggest attack yet". [UP: XBL/PSN Down]

To be fair you've been far from polite to others despite them trying to explain things to you nicely.


I disagree. I was attacked for having a different opinion by more than one person yet I'm not allowed to defend myself right? When you're attacked for a difference of opinion by multiple posters make sure you're calm and polite to the letter.
 
Holy shit I just tried it and I'm online signing in manually after first setting the MTU to 1437 wow thanks! How the hell does this fix work?

I have no idea at all - I'm nearly clueless about these things.

I just did what what jimmy5150 on the U.S. West Coast in Seattle did, only I'm about 45 minutes north of downtown Chicago in Lake County, Illinois in the midwest U.S.

US West Coast here (Seattle), I had nothing until I tried manually setting the MTU on my internet connection to 1437. Now Destiny, the store, friends, and everything is working like normal.
 
Is this some cruel joke you're all playing on me? So many people are saying they can get on now and I just get the endless timeout messages.

I'm swimming in tears.
 
I don't believe it at all but I'd figure I'd post it here to hear what other people have to say about it. Following the PSN megathread on reddit it seems more and more people are successfully connecting.

Sure it probably isn't them restoring it but I'm sure a hacker group would have better network monitoring tools than the general public, and could better inform us about the status of the networks. Whether or not the status has anything to do with what they are doing, MS and Sony aren't being transparent with us at all, so maybe they are providing us with some additional info.

It's not common for corporations to be transparent about things like this. They tend not to want to increase their exposure either to future attacks or legally.
 
They ARE accountable because it is Sonys service that's why. We pay to play now on PS4 maybe you've heard? Well anyway since we do pay to play on Sonys service Sony is absolutely responsible for it performing up to the standards were paying for it's really that simple.

So if you try and go to the corner store and it's shut down during normal hours because someone shot the clerk 7-11 owes you a free soda?

*Hugs* It's working for me. My PS4 started giving me a message saying PSN was down for maintenance, then it said I wasn't signed in, so I tried to sign in a few times and it worked (about 30-ish minutes ago).

PSN is up for me, Wolverhampton, England.

Just redeemed some top up cards and purchased a bunch of stuff on the store and they are downloading swimmingly.
 
PSN is up and running for my on my PS4 in Canada.

I'm in Southwestern Ontario and my PS4 won't connect. My Vita can and I see other people from this province online. Seems weird. Doesn't bother me tonight though since I was planning on Vita-ing anyway.

It's not a difference of opinion. It's simply fact taken from the ToS which you agreed to when you created your account. You paid for a service without any warranty of uptime, and by extension denied yourself the right to hold Sony/MS accountable for any downtime. You can only blame yourself and your lack of reading comprehension when you read the ToS.

Now you can think / have an opinion that they are accountable under the freedom of thinking, but it's just factually wrong so don't be surprised if most people disagree.

This im wondering myself, i did it and it worked im on. can anyone explain what this setting (MTU) and why setting it to 1437 allows us to log in?
 
Like many others have posted. I'm a back online. try the MTU change and see if that yields any results if you're experiencing problems.

Caution: Be sure to change your MTU back to automatic once the PSN is stable
 
PS4 Still not working here in Cincy for me.

Not sure if it matters but I'm on a wired connection. I also tried MTU of 1437 and 1473, I dont' understand what that is supposed to do or not do but it didn't work.

Bleh....
 
To people changing MTU: don't. It has no reasonable bearing on the availability of PSN.

The MTU specifies the maximum length of each unit of data (payload) in a transmission. In this context, it's referring to the size of 802.3 or 802.11 frames. In other words, it's a setting that only applies to a given link (i.e. between your console and the device it's connected to, probably your Internet gateway/router). Default should be 1500 for Ethernet (unless you're set up for jumbo frames). Decreasing it will only increase IP fragmentation.
 
PSN still down for me in Arizona. Seriously reconsidering my decision to go all digital this gen. Can't download the new games I've bought let alone play them.

Yeah it sucks, but don't worry, when you do have games downloaded they can be played offline (assuming the game has offline features) if PSN is down.

I've been playing the Driveclub (full digital version) single player tour events through this outage as well as GTAV story mode (though I have GTA on disc but it doesn't matter)

I'm not going digital until there's no other choice. This whole PSN fiasco has only reinforced buying physical for me.
 
Kinda surprised that this has brought out a lot of console warrior-ish tweets on Twitter.

It was bound to. People have to justify their console of choice. I do understand the frustration though. Seriously this needs to be sorted out by the end of the night. If this goes on for another day....Just wait for the gaming news to blast Sony on Monday.
 
Still down for me. East coast. (NE) :/

Are we seriously approaching 72 hours?

Can't connect to DA:I/EA servers right now :(

Any fix for this?
 
Great, now it's totally fucked again. I am also getting a blinking orange light in rest mode. Then I turned it back on so I could shut it down and I got 3 beeps before it finally turned off. I am not touching my PS4 until this shit is completely ironed out.
