Region lock

Is the game region lock?

[HuntingFever]

Only 1 PS3 game has a region lock and that's one of the Persona titles, all others are region free (though the DLCs and saves are region locked) but do note the servers for this game have a partial region lock in that they will initially focus on looking in your country for players, before expanding to other regions.

Not region locked, sharing some of my trials and tribulations from this game over the last few days, based in AUS trying to pair up with EU and US discord buddies

 

• initiate the search and wait
• the game will try to couple or pair you with other players of same ping ms
• then it will expand search to include rest of country
• then it will expand search to include your region
• then it will expand search to include global
• If US or EU players initiate search, they dominate the search pattern and you do not have a chance to pair up
• You must be in search mode "waiting for ? more" for more than 8min straight before US or EU players can enter into searching status

This works for any mode of play

• DM
• species DM
• Infestation
• etc etc

is there any way to help me connect to eu players? having trouble

 

The playerbase is pretty dead for this game so it's very difficult to find anyone to play with . Your best bet is to create a boosting session here: https://psnprofiles.com/sessions, then follow the tips in the post above yours.

See the post above yours, that explains in detail how to get EU and US players to match up. The matchmaking for this game is pure trash and always has been so your only option is to follow RazorBladeRonin's advice and pray the game plays nice so you get the trophies done ASAP.

I'm pretty sure that the servers are region locked if you search as an individual player. Unfortunately you have to do it for Welcome to the War, Killer Instinct and The Uninfected. The team based trophies can be done easily if you have one player with two PS3s/copies in the same home: Main party searches for the specific game mode until the waiting screen appears and after that Alt party joins as well. You'll be ready to play in no time compared to any other trial and error "method" and it will work above reproach. Keep in mind that you'll need even parties to start which means also 8 for The Six Pack.
