Floorkiller74 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 1 hour ago, SuperSmexy500 said: I decided to check when I last topped up my PS+ membership. It was a code I bought from Amazon that was indeed back on June 2nd, back when PS+ was on a pretty good sale. I don't know the exact time I bought it or redeemed it because it doesn't list that on my invoice. So the "valid period start" is technically correct, but in the past when renewing expired PS+ games, it would always list the start period as being the date and time I actually started the game up again, not when my PS+ was last renewed/topped up. So Sony may have changed something on their end, or it's just part of the weirdness in general (or perhaps both?) ] My games have always updated to when I resubbed to PS+, been that way for a decade.

I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure that's how it used to be for me. Seems this is indeed affecting some PS3s as well, looking over at the other thread that was originally created for when PS+ games were just disappearing from people's download lists.

IDiivil Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Yeah, can't download any PS+ games either on Vita. Even though the device is no longer supported, I suspect they'll fix this at some point as it affects purchased content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gforce-92 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) This sucks, got the same issue with no resolution. Big fail from Sony not allowing purchased and freebie ps plus games to be downloaded on my account. I tested it with Imaginstruments on a dummy account and downloaded fine and tried on my main account and had the download error. Really annoying Edited October 10, 2021 by gforce-92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris345 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Shame people are having issues preventing them from playing, I just downloaded a few ps plus games on my vita to check and they're working albeit expiring in 2023 despite my ps plus running out jan 2022 with auto renew off.

Virdeborn Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It also seems the servers for Soul Sacrifice and Freedom Wars have gone down without warning. Perhaps related to this issue in some way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing as of yet unfortunately could be one of those things they will fix silently in the background but I'd love at least some acknowledgement of the issue from Sony. If more people tried to get in contact with them I feel they would at least acknowledge it but so far this issue only affects some that still play PS+ content on the Vita. 14 hours ago, gforce-92 said: This sucks, got the same issue with no resolution.

No, unfortunately not. I hope it's temporary. I wish Sony would just come up with better solutions on how to handle their legacy content. Simplify the PS3 store so it doesn't crash the console, give PS+ users a permanent 50% discount when buying legacy content since there are no more sales, improve the download list so that you can more easily access purchased and redeemed content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was on the same Vita and also same issue on my vita tv. The game I tested that I owned was my code for Final Fantasy X-2 that came inside the box of the game and I get the same error. Same for all my psp games too not given with plus. Not sure what is going on. Edited October 10, 2021 by gforce-92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakXedge Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi guys, just tested this. Tried Lemmings Touch that had already downloaded but never played. It gave me a message to activate my vita so went to settings, psnetwork, activate, game (or something like that). After this, game launched good. Downloaded Geometry Wars 3 and it downloaded and installed ok. Launched it and played without any problem. Downloaded TorqueL and it downloaded and installed ok. Launched it and played without any problem. Do you guys tried to activate your system again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null_Spectre Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Ireland, EU region here also. So most likely not. Tested PSOne PS+ games I had redeemed ways ways back, Silent Hill for example. Downloaded and played fine on my PS3, but exact same error code as always on my Vita.@breakXedge what model Vita did you test on? I ask cause I'm trying to narrow down possible causes, like could it be old hardware on the 1000 series not compatible with any changes made server side at Sony since the Doomsday security certificate fiasco. (Google it, these issues for me started around the same time) Edited October 10, 2021 by Null_Spectre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gforce-92 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I've already tried activating and deactivating etc. No luck at all.

I'm in the same situation. I'm working on Killzone Mercenary (which I got from PS+) and I wanted something else on my Vita so I could mix it up as well. And then I'm either getting error NP-9978-3 and it's not allowing me to download or I keep spamming the download button and it eventually starts to download and I'll get this error you mentioned. I was able to download the first 3 Sly games but those are ones I bought but even that took spamming the download button several times. But anything I got from PS+ isn't downloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDiivil Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The activation thing is a different error. I've had that one too where my system randomly deactivates and I have to reactivate it in order to play any purchased content. Although I've only started having that error in the past year as well. I suspect the PS+ thing is an error with the licenses not having refreshed properly because the store has become increasingly broken. Back in the day I'd always have all my PS+ content repurchased on the last renewal date of my PS+. This didn't happen this june, and they still all show June 2020 in the download list. On that note I've noticed other weird things with the store on the PS3 side. Bought a game a few months ago and when I checked a few weeks back, I couldn't find it in the download list. Turns out it was at the bottom of the list among the oldest entries, despite having the most recent date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoastedPeanut Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm not having the same issue with any expiry dates and I don't have problems loading a PS+ game already installed, still just the issue with downloading PS+ games. Although I can't download any PS+ games from my list, it still starts downloading the latest update for the game. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce-92 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I've been talking to someone on twitter with the same issue and they got a reply from Sony Sony's reply: Regarding your enquiry, for PS Vita and PS3, the download and purchase feature is temporarily shut down due to our store set up error, please kindly wait for I to 2 weeks for our maintainance to be finished. Let's hope that is a genuine timeline and the CS rep didn't try brush off the issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they aren't reading from a script like most 1st line support (I use to work in Retail IT and it was the most annoying norm that companies do). I got an email back stating someone is only looking into my issue now and will take a few days to get back to me regarding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) That "wait for 1 to 2 weeks" is old stuff, i've already read it regarding other issues. Anyway, i'm getting it, too. Italy, on both PS3 and Vita. Also my purchased Vita games have an actual expiration date now: March 13, 15907, at 15:23, with 29 million-ish days left to play (yeah, i know that 13886 divided by 365 or 366 doesn't equal to 29 million) Edited October 11, 2021 by Lance_87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
