Trophy Save File Error Caused By Changing Password/Login

Warning: Changing your PSN email or password via the PS3's XMB account management tool will corrupt your save files! Sadly, PlayStation 3 Firmware Update 2.53 does NOT resolve this issue.

PS3Freak5620d ago

This is extremely irritating as for over a month now, i havn't been able to play several games. Including, GTA4, Pain, Pixeljunk eden, Wipeout HD, Far Cry 2, and Resistance 2. Even though there are multiple forums out there full of people with this problem sony has seemed to fully ignore it. I'm gonna have to call them soon threating to supply every person with this issue a 360, my treat. Then maybe they'll pay more attention :P. Anyone else here encounter this issue?

ezcex5620d ago

can't you change it back to the way it was before? maybe it will work then. I remember when I made a new account and with a new name and copied the save files over from old to new, it wouldn't let me play some of them.

butterfinger5620d ago

Oh well, lol. The problem is real and PS3 gamers need to know what's going on. It seems like this is nothing a quick FW update couldn't fix, but Sony must first agree to take it seriously. It's unfortunate that it has seemed to really come into the light after the latest FW.

thebudgetgamer5620d ago

and i changed the password a bunch of times and nothing happened

:)

PS3Freak5620d ago

It got approved because the other time i tryed to post it, it was just a forum post i was linking too.

Beleive me the first thing i tried was to change to back but it didnt do anything. Maybe it has something to do with certain ps3s. IF you look up some forums via searching "Ps3 error 80022d11" on google you will find that lots of people have this problem.

Wow, that is a serious error. How the heck do you get corrupt files?

If I get a Yellow Light of Death, at least I can get it fixed. I get a corrupt savegame and I'm f**ked! Got to go backup my savegames...

Bubble Buddy5619d ago (Edited 5619d ago )

This is happening to some people. Happened to me. It will say you've "copied this file from another person".

If you want a fix, save all your data on a usb stick. activate your account, delete User, make a new User, link it to your PSN, and viola. Works for me for LBP. Do it on your own risk. Never tried it for other games since LBP was the only one stuck.

I've done this multiple times after trophies have launched. I think you just have to be unlucky.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5620d ago

I JUST CHANGED IT THIS MORNING!!!!!!!! I HOPE MY DATA ISNT GONE I HAVE TO GO CHECK IT NOW.

PS3Freak5620d ago

I don't understand why people don't seem to beleive this is true. I'm telling you RIGHT NOW, go and search "PS3 error 80022d11" on google and you will find MULTIPLE forums full of people with this issue. Do your research before you discredit me.

JD_Shadow5619d ago (Edited 5619d ago )

They aren't saying that you're completely BSing this, but you're not considering all the facts here, and that this may be more of an isolated case than this article is making it out to be. They're also talking about their own experiences and that it hasn't affected them just yet.

If this IS factual (no reason to believe it isn't and yeah, people might want to make sure they're not underplaying this before saying their piece), then I hope Sony fixes it soon, but I think your overreacting over what the comments are saying here.

Marceles5619d ago (Edited 5619d ago )

It might be true, but the post makes it seem like no PS3 owner at all can change their PS3's password unless they want corrupted files. That's why everyone in this thread is running around like a chicken with their head cut off...you should at least make it clear that it doesn't happen to everyone.

GarandShooter5620d ago (Edited 5620d ago )

I changed my email address from a Yahoo address to my ISP address without a problem. Freak, what model do you have? I have a launch 60GB console, and was wondering if it was a model(s) specific issue. I appreciate the heads up, even though I've had no problems.

A little off topic, I did the same thing on my 360, and all is ok, but I still have to use my Yahoo address (which no longer exists btw) to access xboxlive.com. I checked on xboxlive.com and the email address they have listed is my ISP address, but I still have to use the old one to sign in. Anybody else experience this, and is there something I'm missing?

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing696h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker6h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos12h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto11h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8811h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
