So PSN is down, which means the game will not launch because it wants to check for launcher update that it cannot do. Can we have a way to bypass this check so we can still login and play? I know the game will work if PSN is down as it runs on it's own servers. It's annoying to not be able to log in when PSN is down.
Normally I am ok with this but the limited time moogle event going on, and I am missing out on chances for tomestones. Also missing out on gold saucer event time as well.
Will this be extended because we cannot login?

06-14-2019, 06:22 AMShougunIf it lasts a while they might, they've done stuff like this before (which is nice). Like if it's just a short period of time probably not but if it lasts for a while and some people ask for it then it sounds possible. Although the moogle one would be a bit interesting since it lasts until Shadowbringer's launch, which would mean any extension would be extending it into the expansion. Make it rain does expire earlier though so that one is probably easier to extend just because they can without any weird collision and possible questions like "Are you updating the event to include shadowbringer dungeons? I don't have time to do ARR with this new content out".Quote:

Hope you can get back in soon :). -

It is condition of play on PS4 that the PSN be up for online play. True you are not paying for PSN and a sub but that is the special agreement they reached for this game exclusively.

06-14-2019, 07:29 AMZomkeiit’s only required for the update check, psn is not required to play. if psn goes down while you’re logged in you can stay logged in.Quote:

Connection really has nothing to do what platform your using just keep in mind that ps4 is nothing more than a pc in a box and the whole pc master race thing doesn't work as the game is built with the ps4 specs in mind. Although to the OP have you tried turning your router off for a few mins and back on again as even pc users know sometimes the best fix is the simple one.

06-15-2019, 02:50 AMHyoMinParkUnfortunately, I don’t think resetting your router will help much with a PSN outage.Quote:

I had no issues logging in The recent update just released on PS4 and PCs and PS4 are no where near the same. Consoles are called consoles for a reason. PC have a huge difference range in quality, however, all PS4 Pros are the same. I do agree that connection issues normally is the router, at least in my experience on PC's

If you were already logged in (on PS4 not PC) before the issues started then you would not be effected. It's not really an internet connection issue though but more the medium (in this case PSN) couldn't be reached, preventing logins and whatnot. Essentially it's like if Steam went down and you couldn't access certain games, pretty much a similar thing with PSN. Most PSN outtages don't last very long though so this recent one was unusually long, perhaps someone was sad Sony wasn't at E3 and DDOS'd them...

Its not the internet folks. Its the fact PSN is poop

06-15-2019, 05:09 AMValkyrie_LennethAny time you go through an additional service there's a chance for downtime. Hence my beef with steam. I don't use it for games when I can avoid it. Haven't actually launched it in months.Quote:

Look they all have their issues but damn. PSN goes out once this year and it's crap? I'm on PSN and I haven't turned my system off in 3 years and it's only went out on me like 4 times in THREE years. I think that's better then poop is all I'm saying. -

Kinda happy that I don't have to jump through 10 different hoops to pre order an expansion every 2 years, just one click buy and everything gets applied directly to my SE account. Not only that but not having to worry about using a benchmark or system requirement changes every 2 years is amazing.
I've had fewer issues with PSN than FF14 itself in 6 years of playing this game, so... -
