PSN connection problems (12/24)

Guess there's a silver lining to being at my wife's folks' place for Christmas, don't have to deal with Lizard Squad's bullshit.

The problem is that when the game finished downloading I wasn't even here at home. So yeah, no DAI at the moment for me.

Sorry but there are regular issues with PSN (you only have to read on here and elsewhere to see that not everyone is happy with the network), some of the issues might not be hugely problematic, but many of them are annoying, messages taking forever to be sent/received has been an issue for the last few months now with no sign of a fix, it's not just an issue that's popped up in the last "few weeks", it's been that way ever since Destiny got released (which is also oddly when the entire network took a turn for the worse).

Christmas does bring about its own problems though and although it's not really acceptable for it to not work, it's become somewhat predictable over the years that they do struggle and if it is indeed being DDoS'd then that doesn't help either.

I always send and receive messages and invites immediately. Its just messages have an incorrect time stamp, they post as "15 mins ago" even though I just sent it. Ive never seen them actually delayed.

ok imagine the psn/ xbl servers as a building with many doors where a butler has to answer the door to let the person into the building. Well one day 100 kids came along and knocked on all the doors, and ran off, the usual visitors to the building were also knocking on the door. because of the higher number of knocks the butler couldn't answer some of the doors before the regular user got bored and walked off. the false door knocks used up the butlers time diminishing his effectiveness to answering the doors.

thats a really clumsy example but I hope you get the idea.
Can this e avoided? yeah sony / ms could hire more butlers. but paying 2x as many butlers just to cover your ass when 100 kids play knock-a-door run is expensive and wasteful. then you are only in the same mess if they bring along 200 kids one day. see what i mean?

I like this analogy, and wish there were butler conventions.
 
wtf. I rented Gremlins last night and I didn't finish watching it. I have about 3 hours before the rental expires and I can't watch it because apparently videos dont download to the ps4 like they did on ps3

Pretty much and the only way to permanently stop it is ban the ip's of the bot nets. But that causes issues due to the dynamic nature of ips possible bystandsers getting caught in the crossfire etc.
 
Uh oh.. i was checking "internet test" every few minutes from the settings menu when my PS4 froze while checking just now, and it turned off on its own. Now when i try turn it on im getting 3 beeps and nothing else ? is it fucked ?

Edit, nvm, working again.
 
Gutted to be honest, Got 4 days off work, And wanting to play abit today but cant sign in at all.....Was gonna buy the B4 premium edition aswell as its on offer.

Pretty sure it gives you a choice between download or stream. You must have picked stream.
 
I just got shadow of mordor and it says it's going to take 4 hours to download the last 1.5GB's of the update... So slow.
 
You put The Interview up on PSN and XBL, and shit goes down.

All wish the dear leader happy holidays
 
UK no PSN or Xbox live but I can get on Steam/Origin/Uplay. Annoying that the free services are the ones working!

Hoped to get on GTA to see the snow and chat to some mates.
 
Two days ago I received my wallet top-up notification email for my regular quarterly PS Plus payment. Money went from account, everything apparently normal.

Oddly, today I receive an email asking me to renew my plus because they 'hit a snag'. Eh?? I was playing GTA online last night after the renewal, I also purchased Peggle 2 at the PS Plus discount price. I've checked my online banking, the money was taken by Sony.

Trying to login online but of course, script kiddies being dicks has caused a problem there.

Anyone else had a similar issue? Is the email just a side effect of today's 'festivities?'

I'm only going off by the DDoS attacks I'm seeing on the tracking sites, sir. It's very difficult to tell what is the usual Christmas Fubar (US and EU XBL and PSN had plenty trouble last year all day, without any DDoS) - and what is the result of the DDoS activity.

Either way, we're all in the same boat.
 
I want my GGXrd DLC. >=O

Understandable, though. Lots of people probably got games/PS4s today and are bombarding the system.

It hasnt been working in UK all day as far as i can tell. First it was just not working then the maintaince stuff was coming up and now its just giving no reason again. playing Mk8 and SSB4 with the family so not too bothered right now but my little bro really wants to play PVZ online and cant.

I was also going to buy Tomb Raider TOS for some more PS4 co-op fun but oh well, Splunkey and Tower Fall have been great so far.
