Except that the Project Cars issues
apparently occur on PC as well, which would suggest that it has nothing to do with PSN at all.
Thanks for that I was unaware of PC problems as I don't do any PC gaming (yet
) so with that little bit of knowledge its not a huge leap of thought to assume that the Pcars issues are a separate issue entirely,
Fine. Explain why there is no report of PSN problems from last weekend.
I agree with you that this weekends problems for me have been of a different nature. They (for me) began with intermittent sign out's from PSN, then a PSN update was released which seemed to fix these sign out problems but then after this update was released I started having incompatability issues and was unable to join any rooms in GT6, I could make them but joining others was hugely problematic, onto the last weekend, incompatibility issues have disappeared but left with a lot of disconnects that seem to be worse between the hours of 12pm UTC to 10pm UTC - I was thankful to see that it was not just me experiencing these problems and the GTPSCS has been greatly affected by whatever the issue is this last weekend.
So for me it seems that the original PSN issue - not one I've ever experienced before in 4 years - has caused a knock on affect to the PD servers, not sure if or how this can happen.
Ive contacted PSN and PD, Psn replied with check you connections and maybe its an ISP problem, and you can guess it PD have remained quiet
. Not a surprise.
I have a nat 2 connection with very high bandwidth, 204Mps Download, 14 Mps Upload Ping of 20ms, PS3 has static IP, its placed in my DMZ, and all relevant ports are forwarded, connected with a cat6 Ethernet cable and these settings have not changed in the past 12months where I have rarely experienced any problems.
So I agree that the issues have seemed to change, but I do have the opinion that maybe something in the update has made some original problem for PD more unstable. Not totally aware of the inner workings of Sony/PSN/PD - but surely they do communicate? After all this is their brand and their product - if a problem arises I would expect them to at least have communicated, the way I look at it, with offline play for GT not being what I play GT6 for as chasing the rabbit becomes very tedious, if online is broke then it has nothing going for it.
