PS3: Last Patch/System Update Issues

[mr_kill777]

I can't play Bomb Da Base II..everytime I get near the tanker after wqe get the Heli to fly over...it dumps me back to my single player game. Anyone else have this issue? This only started happening when I did the System Update last week...BUT, it started randomly dumping me back to the single player screen after the last GTA IV Update/PAtch. Anyone else seen this? ANy idea's? Just as an FYI I never had problems with GTA IV until they started patching it.

 

I am running a newer 80gb PS3 if anyone was wondering and have ZERO issues with the games I play...other than this one...the only one I WANT to play!

 

Thanks in advance.

Oh, how I miss Bomb the base II

[beanmike206]

IV online has got worse in my opinion.

I cant be bothered with it, since half the games don't work, people don't get invites, the stats are f*cked up and my rank never goes higher,

If Rockstar sorted this, I'd play it again.

I (also) miss Bomb the base II

Yep, I've been having these problems as well and there was a post about this before so I guess we aren't the only ones. Everyone has probably had that problem.

I don't know if this is true but I read somewhere that you must complete the match with the same amount of people that joined in the first place so no one should leave and no one should join the game in the middle of the match. If someone could check and see if this is the case then maybe we could all solve it.

Its obvious Rockstar don't givea crap about the PS3 MP. Its had problems from the beginning and has only gotten worse. If they intended to fix it they would have done it by now. I haven't been on MP for a few months now, theres just no point.

 

Proof of Rockstars lack of interest in the PS3 version:

 

PC version gets enhanced 32 player MP and video capture/editing

 

360 version gets DLC which not only includes story, but new MP modes, weapons and vehicles too!

 

PS3 version gets some trophies (which are only copies of the 360 achievements) and a MP system which has never worked properly and continues to get worse everytime they update it!!

 

Am I wrong?

Wow dude. MS get's TWO bonuses...and they can't fix the fuggin MP on the PS3? We get some lame ass trophies?! Bomb Da Base II was a frickin BLAST and about 20 minutes long...and now, I get Hangmans NOOSE and Deal Breaker to play with friends when we get tired of Death Match? This is tragic to say the least. DO you guys think they even ope their mail? I sent Rockstar a note and haven't even got a confirmation email yet. WTF Rockstar?!

[SHARKEM]

is it rockstar or psn to blame?

LMFAO!!!!!

 

Couldn't of said it better. I mean WTF Rockstar?!

 

Shark, I am not sure. I started having weird issues after Rockstars last patch...but it still worked. After the PS3's last update last week...it went from bad to worse. If I had to say from my Systems Administration experience...the stance normally is something like: "your games run on our hardware....our hardware doesn't run on your games". Which means. It's the application developers responsibility to make a solid coded application that is dependable and consistent on all levels of usability to the user or the unreliable portion of the application needs to be removed until it is bug free and then can be a candidate fro reinstatement.

Yes, as i just finished the 100% trophy for singleplayer, i'd like to get back to multiplayer. But since most ps3 multiplayer trophies are horribly broken (complete objective within one session / BDBII error) i'd rather wait for a patch to come out that will finally sort this out before getting on with it.

 

Now that the PC version gets plenty of Rockstar support (well, kinda) now, even on this forum; can we please expect some love for the PS3 version as well? I've tried contacting rockstar support on this matter but alas, no reply just yet.

 

 

[fug34]

I agree, I made a thread about it here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=376985 I think everyone should contact Rockstar about it. If they are not going to fix it then they should at least say what the issue is.

 

I still have no idea what 1.04 did, today Midnight Club LA got firmware update 1.03 and there isn't any mention anywhere of what it does. They launched that Social Club and seem to only update it when they can be bothered, I mean Far Cry 2 sticks the update fixes in the actual download under user notes!

I want the online trophies, bad, i try get all the trophies for all my games, keeps me interested, that's why i don't play IV anymore, since i got all the single player trophies within the first week of there release.

 

But i tried emailing Rockstar, and got ignored. and i wasn't horrible, i just said what was wrong and could they sort it?

 

and as for the 1.04 update, i heard from an xbox user, that it updates it with a few rare cars, like ignot with a small body kit.

he found a youtube account with the videos on how to find them. shame i cant find it

Here's what a user in another forum said about the glitch.

 

I've seen tons of posts commenting on this glitch, and instead of repeating my explanation I figured it was time that I made a post dedicated to explaining this glitch. Hopefully this answers all your questions, but if not, please post a reply and we'll try to explain further.

 

 

 

Brief History/Explanation of the Glitch

 

 

 

I only played GTA IV multiplayer religiously after patch 1.03 came out (the one that gave us trophies), and since then I've experienced the Bomb Da Base II drop glitch several times. Fortunately, there's a way around it, but let me explain the issue first.

 

 

 

I've e-mailed back and forth with Take-Two and they reported that the reason for the drops is because of a port misconfiguration with a player's PS3 online setup. You will only experience the drop glitch when all of the following conditions are met:

 

 

 

- The mission has started and is running

 

- Someone who is playing has their ports misconfigured

 

AND

 

- Someone new joins in and/or someone drops out before arriving on the ship

 

 

 

It doesn't matter who joins in or who drops out. As long as one player has their ports misconfigured and a new player joins or one drops out, everyone WILL get dropped back to singleplayer from the mission when you get close to the ship.

 

 

 

How can you avoid the glitch?

 

 

 

 

The easiest way to avoid this glitch is to play BDBII with people who you trust and who won't drop out before arriving on the ship. If you play with random people joining in, then you risk the possibility of someone new randomly popping in or someone dropping out or getting kicked out, especially if they're being monkeys and are throwing grenades at the SUV's that you start with. =p Trust me, I've placed my fair share of votes against said monkeys.

 

 

 

So yeah, create a custom game, set private slots to Max, and invite your buds to help you do the mission. I've played that mission dozens of times with people who've asked for help in order to get the Fly the Co-op trophy, and we've never gotten dropped from the game because the same people who started the mission played through till the end.

 

 

 

Until Rockstar gets their act together and fixes this glitch, along with the proper recording of Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic trophy game mode wins (don't get me started on this one! My curse still stands on the lazy Rockstar developers who are responsible for this slip-up) and the double user account glitch on the game servers, we just have to resort to finding workarounds to get these trophies in the meantime.

 

 

 

Hopefully that helps all you trophy hunters out there.

 

 

 

Happy Hunting!

So there you have it. Not sure why it worked for me for so long and now crashes me back to single player. We've had a lot of guys join/disconnect/get booted in the last 6 months and the maps kept working. Seems as though Rockstar doesn't respond to messages about it...so all we can do is wait...which IMO is pretty f'in sh*tty.

worked for me but cant get fly the co-op with invited players.

[Krwjets93]

is it rockstar or psn to blame?

It is Rockstar to blame..I have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS on any other games for ps3..It has to be R*'s servers.

[wbrinkman]

Well, no reply still from Rockstar (wtg chaps) but did get a reply from Take-Two's support, but they hardly bothered to read my question / remarks. Typical "We're a publisher, and dont know about any updates coming, because we're not Rockstar." reply.

[SHARKEM]

can't the dudes who run this site post some intel on this or are they too busy playing cod waw or blp ?

[wbrinkman]

bump

[tragicdwarf]

Seeing how this has been bumped I wanna ask the site mods something.

 

Do any of you guys have any kind of contact with anyone from Rockstar? Even the tea boy or resident pimp?

 

Im just asking out of blind hope that one of you might be able to actually contact someone and get a straight answer about the PS3 issues and whats being done (if anything)

 

Or would that be too much to ask?
