PSN server issues

I cannot play any multiplayer on my PS4, whether it be Destiny, TLOU or Battlefield because my PS Plus membership isn't being acknowledged. The symbol is still next to my PSN name on the dashboard UI.

FFS, Sony.
 
This is getting a bit beyond a joke now. Come on Sony, you can't have this amount of downtime when your content is so dependant on a connected world.
 
The one thing I miss about the XBL environment is the generally stable network. PSN can be absolutely abysmal with regards to arbitrary downtime and slowness.
 
Honestly, I'd prepare for it to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Christmas is coming up, there's guaranteed to be a huge influx of new owners and with how wonky PSN currently is, I expect something leagues worse than the infamous XBL outage of 2007.

I've had this exact fear creeping into my head. I've been planning on buying Advanced Warfare on my PS4, but I've begun reconsidering that because of outage fears.
 
If they are truly going down for maintenance to introduce PSN Patch 2.0... what are the expected new features of 2.0? Are there any rumors towards this?
 
Here in the UK PSN won't let me play FIFA 15 on PS4 despite everything appearing normal (I'm logged into both PSN and the EA Servers). Says there is a network error. PSN has been horrific ever since I got this PS4 and I'm not even that into my multiplayer gaming.
 
Looks like PC gaming is the only viable option left for me. One console can't stay online and the other can't build decent hardware.
 
Sony really fucked up with the way they handle licensing on PS4

For example I can play FFXIV, FIFA, and any other digital game (including PS+) on my PS3 no problem. None of them work shit on PS4. It's pathetic. Keeps saying they can't connect to server to verify the license. Why should they even need to verify license on my primary system? Honest to god it's a massive step back from the way PS3 handled it.

Imagine a month outage on PS4 a la PS3? I played several digital games during that month on PS3. I'd be shit out of luck with PS4's backwards ass system
 
Bad timing for sure. Saturday night in Australia, kids finally in bed and I have a little time to myself.

Ah well, time to catch up on sleep
 
Psn has been shit for me since Destiny.

FL and messaging problems along with the usual store flaking out shit.

Pc is deffo the winner this gen, but both consoles have their posatives. If I was to choose one thing this gen, it would be PC for sure
 
I woke up to get my morning fix of the crucible and nothing is available. Funny enough, when I can see other players roaming around earth and on titan, but cant do any events or play multiplayer.

This is unacceptable. I should've bought a X1.

I agree with the first part. This takes the piss. Second part doesn't exactly help though. Not as if I can play FFXIV there due Microsoft's own policies

Dude, the firmware runs on your console not the servers.

Maybe the firmware can at least change the way it checks for licences on your Primary platform...
 
I swore I would never get PS+, but Destiny requires it and I already regret the subscription.

every game with a multiplayer component(unless, I think, the free to play games) require PS+ online.

Also... why would you never get PS+? Do you not enjoy free games or discounts?
 
PSN has been fine for me, but I'm not one of those people who ignore that other people are having issues becase I know once I log out I am going to be in the same boat.

PSN has become gradually worse since the launch of the PS4 and I don't understand why that's the case. Nothing has changed, it's doing nothing more than it was previously.

Destiny launch seemed to go OK but Driveclub is basically a nightmare online and I assume there's a PSN issue somewhere with that as well. CoD launches soon and if the network can't handle it, then there's going to be a lot of pissed off people.

Also, there's a sub now, no excuses.
