HuntingFever Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) The servers only work if you change your DNS settings but use it at your own risk, because it's currently unknown if this trick will get you flagged for cheating since the servers you connect to are probably unofficial and not CRT approved: Edited September 26, 2023 by HuntingFever Update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoidVictorious Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 @Squirlruler I’m curious if this is acceptable or not. I don’t want to break any rules and I trust your judgment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Can someone explain it to us in a simple way and not just quote hell with posts after posts and questionable info etc. I just want the simple facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingFever Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) My understanding of this situation is the official servers are still up BUT either the devs or the publishers changed something on the backend so most players can't connect to them, because the DNS servers aren't recognised any more and just get blocked. The fix is to change your DNS to a specific address that won't be blocked by the official servers, no hacks, dodgy firmware or weirdo fan servers are needed for this, just a simple DNS address that isn't on the block list for the official servers. EDIT: Going by the post below, it looks like I'm wrong on every point . Edited October 30, 2023 by HuntingFever Update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHealthy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) @MMDE The situation is that the official servers do work, and a custom server does exist. The DNS address of 188.225.75.35 that people say is just a work around to make a more stable connection is in fact a custom server. This server was created by a user named aibot who also hosts a seperate custom server for PC players of the game. See this page to confirm (Control F: Blur PS3 Server) https://amax-emu.com/news which then links you to this page with the actual DNS address https://wiki.aiwarehouse.xyz/en/blur-ps3-guide While the official servers do still work at present (I just checked) they are not without issue. Specifically for reasons unknown some PSN accounts will not appear on the in game leaderboards and by extension are unable to receive in game challenges. This makes the trophy Friends make better enemies unobtainable for affected PSN accounts as you need to be able to receive and beat a challenge from another player. This does not affect all PSN accounts though and there is no discernible way to tell if your account will be able to or not. The official servers have also previous completely gone down making all the online trophies unobtainable for some months which is what prompted the creation of the custom server. The custom server does not have this issue so many people are unlocking this trophy on that server or doing the entirety of the online trophies on the custom server.

You don't have to change DNS cos your progress between official and custom server are different FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve pinged them multiple times and everything has been explained. Like you said, this should be fair game and a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need your go ahead that the game isn’t listed as unobtainable or flag worthy since they’re two sets of servers (official and unofficial). This shouldn’t be that complicated @MMDE…I cannot believe that you would have an issue with not needing to change your DNS and playing the game normally just because it went down for a month or two… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMDE Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Of course, you can still use the official servers... that should go without saying. If you need to change your DNS server settings, you are probably trying to connect to some custom server that hasn't been approved. If you believe the latter is not true, please provide exact data, and I'll figure it out or tell you how to figure it out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so we have the go ahead to play the game normally without worrying about being flagged. Thanks for clarifying so that those of us that abide by the rules can play the game without worrying about false flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Transformers servers and the blur server are using the same DNS number at the moment. Apparently he also has DJ Hero 1 & 2 servers. Does have a github if you haven't seen it. That's mostly over my head though. https://github.com/Aib0t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
