Anybody else in the closed beta? It is a blast. I love this game. I keep playing it despite every 3rd game it does a hard crash. Lots of latency issues of people freezing and then moving at unreal speed popping across the screen. Hoping these will be ironed out in the final version but a single player version with bots would still be worth it to me.
I have had hard crashes in every online experience on the Vita: Madden, Resistance, Call of Duty (although they all haven't as been as bad as the beta of Killzone) I kept thinking it was just the programming. If they can't get Killzone to work without crashes I am thinking it might be a hardware problem. Or maybe it is my network setup?
I have a feeling you might have a corrupt download - possibly. Or network issues, or a bit unlucky.
That's my biggest real problem with the Vita. Sometimes the downloads go through but they are definitely not correct downloads - I had so many weird bugs in JSR, re-downloaded and it was perfect.
The only game I get crashes with often is CoD MP. Redownloaded, still the same.
I think you might do better to leave the Vita closer to the router when playing and downloading - just to see if it is the connection...could get an access point to boost the signal (careful with compatibility with your original router).
Or maybe you've just played this way more! I've played about 20 games now and had 1 crash - when I was playing in my room far away from the router and with a powerful fan on closeby.
I still hope we get bots too - even if the points don't transfer to MP like they do with the other SP stuff. I just want a backup game with easy/medium/hard bots. Please
Also the people flying across your map - I only saw this once or twice and it was when people spawn near that area and are moved to it. I don't get why this happens. Why can't they just be invisible until they are in the area! Loads of games still do this :/ I assume that isn't a networking thing. I didn't see it too often but even once is too much. Gives away positioning etc.
First - try to untick this option:
Use Wi-Fi in Power Save Mode - it's in the settings app, under power saving. It should give you a little boost.
