*No Patches for Some PS3 Games*

Recommended Posts

I've edited the title and removed the mentions of this issue affecting just physical games in the OP as it's also affecting digital ones too.

 

There are also reports of it affecting at least one PS4 game, as Saint's Row The Third Remastered isn't getting any patches in the EU region. It's stuck on 1.00.

In the case of Saint's Row the Third, it's no big loss to not have the patch installed because the 1.08 update trashed the game and broke a lot of trophies into the bargain.

That's fair enough, but wasn't there trophy glitches at 1.00 too?

Payday 2 is a pain in the ass.Can anybody confirm what version the latest is? Im on digital and cannot find a patch and im guessing that's why PARK ESCAPE is not showing up for me in the game as the guide here says latest patch required.

 

Short fuse is an issue aswell as i cannot join ppl who are on a patched version. However they can join me but it makes there save data get deleted lol.

Ok cool was just wanting confirmation as sometimes and i know it's rare but American could have say 1.04 and EU 1.03 in games. Looks like i will order the Disc copy now then cheers for the info.

 

Official announcement here says patch 1.04 and i just got a message from 2 ppl saying they are on 1.04 and there profile states American

Please note: To clarify, SCEA downloadable version is 1.04, the others SCEA retail, SCEE retail and digital, are 1.03. Any differences in version number will not affect gameplay as soon as you have updated your version

This makes sense now i should be good!

Remember, people, that patches are quite volatile. Most of the time they are put together into a single folder with game install data (sometimes with DLC too). So if You remove the game install the patches are gone too most of the time. Depends on the developer :(

There's a way to check which games have patches (It'll throw up a security warning but just ignore it and carry on)

 

https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX-ver.xml

 

Replace the XXXXX's with the game ID e.g BLUS30792     -   Naruto UNSG which has a 1.01 patch, the EU version seems to not have one at all.

 

It'll look something like this

https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/BLUS30792/BLUS30792-ver.xml

 

Or you can use the program from Postposterous

 

 

 

It'll download the patch to if you like.  

 

I'm trying to find if ps3proxyserver (or a similar program) still allows you to trick the ps3 into installing a game patch (from a pc)

Does the Castlevania Lords of Shadow Collection disc need updates?  It says the most current version is installed.  Wasnt sure since it released later if maybe updates where on disc?

It's the same vanilla disc as the original release, just with extra codes in the case so still needs the patch for everything to work properly.

The 1.03 patch is available according to

 

https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/BLES01047/BLES01047-ver.xml

 

Unsure as to why the ps3 is having so many issues.

 

EDIT - Just pulled my disc out (EU) and it updated fine.  Is it the US version you're having issues with?

Same issue here. I got to the map on an alt and I can only see 12 chapters. Not 14. 
 

Savage Moon is on 2.01 and I can see Waldgeist to the left of the campaign when I start it. Is that the correct patch?

 

Street Fighter III: I haven’t tried it yet. Is this an EU problem? Or all regions?

This is what I did. In fact I used a script to check all the title IDs I could find and compiled the results into a spreadsheet that shows which games have updates and which don't.

 

Unfortunately using a proxy server won't work as the XML files are served over HTTPS so they can't be intercepted, although the PKG files themselves are downloaded unencrypted. In fact I found some links to PKG files for games that have missing updates and they still work. So the updates themselves are still on the Sony servers, it's just the xml files that are missing, making the PS3 think that the games are already up to date.

So this will fix the problem? Is it like using Charles proxy?

No. There's no way to intercept the HTTPS connection, and without that there's no way to get the PS3 to install the update, because it uses the XML file to verify the PKG has been downloaded correctly.

This might explain why I can't play Advanced Warfare online with my PS3. Game stays at version 1.0 despite saying the game is up to date.

You must have the US digital version, right? Looks like that one's missing too. All the other versions I know of are still up.

The following is a list of games that I have tested myself (or suggested by the community)

 

Thanks for posting this, just saw it whilst updating my trophy list.

 

I started Assassin's Creed 2 on Saturday. I put the disc in (UK/EU region PS3, UK/EU version of the game). I was really surprised to see it launch with no updates.

 

There definitely is at least one patch for this game - https://www.vg247.com/2009/12/09/assassins-creed-ii-patch-hits-ps3-today/

 

Just tried a manual update - says it's up to date.
