PSN is down and I can't play FFXIV

[Tint]

I've been fine on my PS4 all day. When you aren't playing, do you put yours in Rest or fully switch it off?

i put it in rest without shutting the game down. just logging off to the title screen, not the launcher. then you can start the game even when sonys psn is down, because it's still running ^^

Sorry , that has nothing to do with this.

If you on PSN while you have *checking FFXIV version* on you screen , then there is no problem and you can even log out of PSN and play FFXiV while being offline on PSN . When there is no PSN connection the game will be stuck on the Dragoon screenshot or you will get error messages while checking for the version,

Thank you Sony I only assumed that was the issue cause I was playing just fine on PS4...

Once you're logged in, you're good. If PSN is having issues, I just put my PS4 into rest mode and it keeps me logged in. I did this last year when Lizard Squad or w/e they were called was hacking PSN over the holidays.

Putting the ps4 always in rest mode for just playing this game , is not really my cup of tea. Now I have time to play other games , still have Xenoblade and Rogue Galaxy waiting for me .

Yea PSN been down all day but w/e I guess gives me to reason to play the games from the humble bundle I guess. Played Life is Strange which is pretty good game.

I think I remember reading in their notes that if you have the launcher open before it goes down then the game works normally. If you open the launcher while it is down you cannot login.

Oh good to know, thank you! Usually the game is queued and I just put the PS4 in rest mode, which may be why it's always worked for me even if PSN is down.

PSN is up for me on PS3 but can't get PS4 to connect, it's been that way off and on this morning.

I feel your pain

Time to finally get caught up on American Horror Story and try to beat the Luca Goers on my Vita. I really need to get in the habit of going into rest mode rather than turning off the PS4 to save power.
