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.

PS3Freak5638d 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?

ezcex5638d 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.

butterfinger5638d 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.

thebudgetgamer5638d ago

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

:)

PS3Freak5638d 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 Buddy5638d ago (Edited 5638d 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_Kakashi5638d ago

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

PS3Freak5638d 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_Shadow5638d ago (Edited 5638d 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.

Marceles5638d ago (Edited 5638d 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.

GarandShooter5638d ago (Edited 5638d 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?

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 21h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
