ClockworkArtemis Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Whenever I attempt to connect to the Ubisoft servers for this version of the game, my game freezes and my console bricks. I have tried on the PS4 version, and on other accounts with the PS3 version and this does not occur, so there is something wrong with my account and the PS3 servers. I recently changed my PSN username and am wondering if this is the issue and if there is a work around becuase I would like to play this online so I can get the platinum and play the DLC. I have already tried thorughly cleaning the disk, deleting and reinstalling the game data, and deleting the save data with my old PSN and none of those worked. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Stevieboy Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I would hazard a guess that's it's the PSN name change causing it. Not sure of a workaround though. Maybe changing it back to what it was could sort it? That might be the only way to fix it, if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_NT Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I just solved this problem. I couldn't play the game with the same symptoms and tried many ways. After logging in to the Ubisoft homepage, I disconnected the psn of my account, accessed the game, created a new Ubisoft ID in the game, and played the game just now without any problems. If the console is turned off and on, the game may stop again during the connection process. At this time, if you disconnect from the homepage again and create a new Ubisoft ID, it will work normally again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat_Pie123 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 This also happened to me. I have multiple accounts and multiple machines, and it was happening on all of them, so this was most definitely not an issue caused by your name change. As usual, Ubisoft is to blame. A quick solution I found was to simply start the game offline, then log in via multiplayer. I'm guessing the problem has something to do with Uplay, since the crashes seemed to coincide with the icon popping up. As if I didn't hate Uplay enough already, crashing the PS3 and forcing a complete reboot is yet another reason why this DRM crap should be banned.

The issue seemed to be that my PS3 was still linked to the old Uplay/ Ubisoft Connect while my PS4 was linked to the new one. Once I unlinked my online progress was ported over and I can load the SP without Edward freezing in the Animus. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

Cloud_SOLDAT Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) The problem started at the beginning of this week. It's uplay. They for sure fiddled with something again and when you contact support or the forum they act innocent and tell you that it's your internet. You can: - play single player offline - for MP: boot the game signed out of PSN, select multiplayer, press start at Animus screen, you're prompted to sign into PSN Not sure if a "late sign in" works for single player as you need uplay for Sharing is Caring. edit: updated info for workaround Edited February 26, 2023 by Cloud_SOLDAT update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResiGamer_28 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Ubisoft really are useless. On Assassins Creed 3 there's an issue now with 3 and Revelations where booting the game will cause the game to get stuck in a repeated loop as the game tries to connect to the now non existent server. You can also no longer redeem purchased dlc through in game menu since they disabled that ability too with the server shutdown. Ubisoft really fucked up handling of 7th gen servers.

POEman553 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yeah, I'm running into problems too. At first it would create a new save but get stuck and freeze my PS3. Then it would freeze at loading screens for a new save. Finally, it would freeze at "logging in to Ubisoft servers" screen. It definitely feels like something Ubisoft screwed up trying to do something else (like take down the servers for Assassin's Creed PS3 games that were supposed to shut down).

Disconnecting your PSN from Ubisoft Connect will fix the crashing at the main menu problems. For Sharing Is Caring (which requires an active Ubisoft Connect account) see the thread about that specific trophy for the solution. From what I have read this worked perfectly normally up to February 24ish, so there was definitely some attempt to fix something that wasn't broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUDGER666 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Starting the game signed out of PSN then choosing MP and logging in works for me for MP/Wolfpack. Doesn't help with SP but thankfully I got every SP thing that requires online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghanupher Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I'm having troubles as well. I just delinked my PSN account from UBICLUB and I encountered no issues so far. Sad thing is I can't reclaim the game's rewards that you had to trade UBI points for. Any way I can get them back? Not just for this game, but for Far Cary 3 and Watchdogs also. Any insight would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrow022 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Hello I am currently trying to platinum all of the AC games I own before Mirage comes out and I own AC4 on PS3 and every time I try to play online it crashes my whole PS3. When I play AC3 and Rogue on PS3 there is no problem. I bought the technology timesaver, but it hasn’t shown up in game. I am completely unable to play online without the game freezing. Is there anyway I can get the dlc while playing offline or nah. Thanks and happy hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the timesaver, how far in are you? You may not be seeing it because you need to be at a certain point in the story first, pretty sure its around sequence 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imminent-file5 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Offline trick doesn't seem to work anymore for who knows what reason. My Ubisoft ID is still the same on both PS3 & PS4. If I choose to unlink my Ubisoft account and relink, will I be losing any of my levels in the multiplayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
