PSN connection problems (12/24)

Still down for me (Scotland). Haven't been able to access since chrimbo. It's my primary console and have PSN sub active against my profile. Can't access the shop, party chat, sync trophies or see friends. Bizarrely my boys profile on the same console can sign in and access most of the stuff without problem (shop still down).

Has anyone tweeted them and let them know that the DDOS has ended yet?
 
Ugh. Trying to redeem my free game but it keeps giving me the code UNDEFINED in place of an actual download code. It's only frustrating because I don't have any other games to play!
 
I just talked to a friend who works at a local big retailer, and he said people have actually returned systems because it wasnt working, and though its not the retailers fault, under the EU law, they had to return the systems.

And still a lot of people with trouble, this is ridiculous.

I could still play my digital games during the blackout last week. Do you have your PS4 set as your primary PS4? Cause I do.
Yeah digital games definitely work offline, I tested thoroughly last week when a friend told me they don't. If you're not doing anything weird like game sharing they absolutely work.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So we all just got kicked out of TLoU and now nothing is loading... great.
 
I changed my MTU settings and now I'm getting "cannot connect to the server within the time limit" when attempting to sign into PSN, which is a slightly different error than what I've been getting since the problem started.

Man, I can't believe it's been five days.
 
Been working fine for last two days now I can't sign in at all. I've never had as much downtime with any system as I've had with a SINGLE year on the PS4.
 
Haven't been able to connect since I set up my PS4 on christmas. Changing MTU settings just changed the error a little bit. I'm in Ohio.

I'd blame my connection but I'm not sure. I can connect to PSN on the PS3/VIta with no problem and we can usually stream Netflix at 1080 consistently as long as too many people aren't doing things so who knows.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Nothing is working for me sigh

Any one else think Sony have tried to stop DDoS attacks way to hard and this has messed up normal people connecting? Any one know more about this and if it is possible?
 
just tried all of the posted MTU settings, not a working one.

*sigh* just wanted to play battlefield with my friends but I guess I'll go back to play the halo 5 beta,

Would this affect Vita games?

I'm trying to play SK Shinovi Versus and the game won't start.

It was working just fine when I played it on Saturday.
 
Was fine for the weekend for me... seems to be gone off again, though. I can still see my friendslist, but no games have an online component anymore. Denver here.

It's beginning to be a damn joke at this point. No one can defend this. Why are they still having issues getting their service up?
 
Unbelievable! Sorry guys it's my fault I broke my own rules and committed to a years subscription, life likes to punish me for these kind of rash decisions! /s

Sony seriously need to get it together, this is embarrassing at this point. I don't want compensation I just want it to work!

Wow, I can't believe it's still down.

Worked for me partially for the last two days but now it's broken again.
Get your shit together Sony.

Umm I want compensation. This is just a joke at this point.

At this point compensation is most likely warranted. Clearly not something like a free game. But the days back on PS+. Maybe a $10 gift voucher as well.

Certainly is.....

Where is shu or house or somebody to make a statement about what's going on? I know major Nelson isn't everybodys favourite but at least he is a mouthpiece for MS keeping everyone informed. Sony have some terrible Twitter feed and that's it (apart from a 3 hour phone queue) it's not good

I wouldn't mind being compensated, but more importantly, there should be some sort of default protection for consumers. I've paid for the service in advance for a year, but I can't access or use the service because of incompetence? 3 days is surely long enought to sort these issues out, but five days?! That's pushing it. Where are all the so called game "journalists"? This is a real story, why isn't there more attention?

On holiday, like pretty much everyone.

Ok has Sony taken everything down again?

After changing the mtu settings yesterday and then having access to everything, I login today and still using the changed mtu settings am now told after trying to login that the connection is timing out or similar.
 
Yup. They just tweeted that.

Kind of weird. As that was never a requirement prior to this recent ddos. Wonder if they have changed something on the network to try and help. Whats packet fragmentation?

Yeah alot of people including myself getting your router doesn't support IP Fragmentation lol
 
Last official communication from Dec 27th was that there may be some additional downtime due to "surges in traffic". I wonder if they cannot keep up with the number of people that keep attempting to login time and again.
