PSN connection problems (12/24)

worse than before for me now... before last night, I could at least view the PS Store... then around 2 a.m. PSN game features (e.g. Driveclub MP) began to work, and had worked up until a couple hours ago

now, not only do the game features not work, I can't even view the PS Store anymore (been this way almost a couple hours; waited before posting).
 
Up here in Sweden.

But the customer services page is still broken, so i can't file a complaint over the game they managed to charge me for but didn't manage to add to my library. And of course, it being a Sunday, noone is working the phones. :-/
 
Well I've got further in trying to connect my new ps4 but it is saying it needs to verify my email and they are not sending the verification email although it says they have.

Not a great first impression Sony, forth day of not being able to connect.

Check Spam map, mail from Sony usually ends there

It really isn't good enough is it. I mean ddos attacks are difficult to counter, we know that, but mobilise some bloody helplines or something.

My general first impressions if the ps4 have been poor BTW. Controller feels cheap, disk loading is loud and not a fan of the ui.
 
Still unable to connect to PSN in Norway. Makes me really glad I'm not heavy into any online games on PS4 at the moment.
 
After fours days of constant errors and maintenance screens, it's finally signing on like normal and loading up my digital games.

Quickly make your machine primary and restore licenses so if it goes down you always have access to your digital games even when its offline.

I logged into psn with one of my other accounts, set a demo off downloading from that account. I then logged into my normal account without any problems. This may just be a coincidence.
 
MTU 1473 worked for my PS4.

All working perfectly here in the UK.

One thing though, I haven't had friends' avatars displaying properly for a few weeks now. It's just the default head and shoulders silhouette. Do you think rebuilding the database would help or is this a known problem with the network?

Edit just to say I tried rebuilding the database and it made no difference. It's only in the What's New and under the game tiles that the avatars don't appear, friends list is fine.
 
God damn it's still not working on PS4 in Southern New England. This is beyond ridiculous now. I'm going to go to work in a few hours and when I come home Monday morning I'd bet anything it still won't be working.

It's still throwing errors at me that indicate PSN is down or under maintenance according to Sonys errors page. Connection tests show that getting on my wifi is instant but PSN is just not working. My PS3 and Vita have been able to get on since before yesterday. The PS4 has been off all night and I never put the thing in rest mode anyway. Router has been reset multiple times. Seeing that people as close as New York, RI, NH, Boston and as far as Spain and Slovenia have it working since yesterday is incredibly frustrating. What, did they forget to switch the area back on? This is crazy.

This worked for me as well, PSN USA account but i am from brazil, does anyone know why this is happening and why i need to change MTU to acess the US Store? i have a mid end modem, also i can acess BR psn without changing MTU at all.

Can anyone explain this MTU thing? What exactly does it do?

It apparently has to do with packet sizes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit

What I find interesting in this wiki article is this section, though I won't feign to completely understand it.

Unfortunately, increasing numbers of networks drop ICMP traffic (e.g. to prevent denial-of-service attacks), which prevents path MTU discovery from working. One often detects such blocking in the cases where a connection works for low-volume data but hangs as soon as a host sends a large block of data. For example, with IRC a connecting client might see the initial messages up to and including the initial ping (sent by the server as an anti spoofing measure), but get no response after that. This is because the large set of welcome messages are sent out in packets bigger than the real MTU. Also, in an IP network, the path from the source address to the destination address often gets modified dynamically, in response to various events (load-balancing, congestion, outages, etc.) - this could result in the path MTU changing (sometimes repeatedly) during a transmission, which may introduce further packet drops before the host finds the new safe MTU.

Though it's be said by others (that clearly understand this better than I do) that adjusting the MTU to 147X is such a small adjustment that it shouldn't really have much of an effect anyways. So.. /shrug
