PS4 Not Able to Connect Issue

[ChaoticD]

I actually deleted the Beta and downloaded the Founder's Pack fresh. I was able to play Saturday morning for an hour. Once I crit'd out I couldn't log back in. I deleted and reinstalled after they said there was a hotfix (PSN said my version was up to date--I have a feeling PSN is not recognizing 2050 correctly or it should have notified me there was a patch or newer software). As this took 8 freaking hours, I let it update while I was asleep. I still can't log in, and I'm not going to delete it and reinstall again since there's no guarantee I'm not just installing the same thing over and over (says I have version 1.02) since PSN is not saying there's updated software. Sorry for your loss. WELCOME TO THE BOAT!

A Hotfix is not a Patch, A hotfix is something changed on the server itself that is synced to the game every time the game is started. There wont be a patch to download during hotfixes and this does not effect the version of the game. Reinstalling should have no effect as this is a server based issue and this does not keep a player from logging into the game with a different account on the same system. The founders pack is also not a download, it is concidered a service on PS4 which is tied to the PSN account as a sort of unlock key for content. A service cannot be deleted as its not something that is ever installed on the system. I just want to clarify information for those trying out different things or looking for a solution.

RYU! Good to see you man! What does your www.defiance.com/linked list look like? I'm curious.

Yes yes, good to see me. I know (jk). I have listed Trove PS4 which I’ve never played. I have Defiance PS3 and I have a blank slot. That’s it.

Side note: I got 16k Valor. It’s not 80k or anything but good enough I suppose.

I am going to unlink my blank slot and see if anything happens. Wanted to say I was going to here just in case it causes more fires.

So ive been playing today no problem then i had to log out and i cant log back in im getting the "Critical" Error.....

Hows it going, this is the only other issue I am noticing that many are having the same issues with. There seems to be a lot of enemy lag int he game that makes it weird and not sure if I am doing any damage to them. Adding a video to show what I mean.

Other than that enjoying the game and can't wait to dive deeper. - Beast Out -

For those messing with unlinking: you'll likely not be able to unlink the PS4 or the 'blank' spot entry you have and I wouldn't try unlinking your PS3 acct unless you've already got your items and/or spent your valor (and in case your 2050 character needs to be to deleted, I'd still not do it). Just FYI

Edit: If anyone DOES unlink their PS3 Acct, let us know what happens :/

Unrelated: my Valor is linked to my Xbox 360 account and when I unlinked my "PS3 Defiance" I could log in, but now my PS4 account is "orphaned" and when I finally could get in, no Valor and no old items.

Oh lord. That's so cobbled together. I mean it's awesome that the items and valor are cross-platform but as long as you didn't unlink your main Defi account i would assume they could be recoverable. But that tears it. UNLINK NOTHING. Not until we get an official response.

Note: Destromathe did respond and ask if I could unlink my PS4 account but as we've descovered, it's a no go. I think because I already received my items? Dunno. Still, lets not mess with it. I'm so sorry that made it worse! >_<

Edit: Actually that makes a weird kind of sense that they'd have to link your acct to PSN somehow. Still, something's wrong obviously because something is making it kick us, and why would they need PS3 AND PS4. I know its all considered PSN but... UG. I can't even.

Recovered everything before trying so I think/hope I will be ok. The need to shoot and loot is so bad I am watching streamers for a game that I own and cannot play. Whatever this is fun too.
