TITANSPIRIT Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Since were all getting automated trouble shooting responses I contacted Sony today. They were really helpful and told me they'd work through their head office to contact Valve / Steam Support to see if they could resolve this issue on behalf of their customers. I'll post my results when I receive any. Until then lets keep working together to get this fixed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr7ICE Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 If Sony actually gets something out of Valve (anything, I would even welcome a server shutdown announcement) I will be satisfied. I bought this game like 2 weeks ago for Co op with my friend and....whaddya know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzraMajor Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Has anybody been able to get online? Both of my ps3's just keep saying, "failed to connect to Steam" and Steam Support hasn't been any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that is exactly the problem all of us have been suffering for like 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGkbrk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 When I check some of the coop trophies' latest achievers I can see that there are people who got them recently like today or yesterday. How can they get them if Steam is down? Is split screen playable without Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they get them if Steam is down? Is split screen playable without Steam? Yes, I got a couple that way with a friend. The unlockables right now are: Professor Portal After completing co-op, complete Calibration Course online with a friend who hasn’t played before Friends List With Benefits While playing co-op, hug 3 different people on your friends list Two really easy trophies that can f%$& the platinum of all of us.

TITANSPIRIT Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 GOOD NEWS! At 00:34 I randomly tried to sign in to Steam on Portal 2 and it worked! Hopefully it stays this way long enough to do all the co-op! If anyone wants to power through co-op asap send me a message on PSN - TITANSPIRIT.

Mr7ICE Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 So I can sign into steam and attempt co-op now...however when my friend and I try to join each other we get disconnected before the game starts. Same goes for connecting to randoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzraMajor Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Got online today in only a couple tries! So good news, the servers aren't down for good. I was worried for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AssassinShadow56 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 How do I get portal 2 on my PS3? I went to PSN Store, and I searched it, it appeared, but couldn't buy it. Anyone having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_guy_1219 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 So all we have now is a connection to steam in the USA. but the game drops when it says 'waiting on other player' at least we are half way there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITANSPIRIT Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Same issue as above. Can sign into steam now, but cant connect to partner. Almost fixed, but not quite there yet : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_guy_1219 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well I'm not giving up yet. I bought it for the coop so it better do what I paid it to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr7ICE Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Any news on this? As I understand it, we can all sign in now and ps3-steam (PC) works but ps3-ps3 Co op still doesn't. It just disconnects. There's been no response to my ticket on steam support and I would've thought they'd fix it by now since they must be aware of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may take it awhile but it will eventually connect. I just played online PS3-PS3, like 10 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyTurnersDad6 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I share that same notion of buying Portal 2 just to play the co-op with a friend. Unfortunately, i haven't installed Steam yet to be able to try it out. But after reading all the comments, if this doesn't get fixed, or the problem keeps getting ignored, should i even bother now? =/ I got re-directed to this Portal 2 related topic by another friend, he said i had to check this out because there were more than a few connection problems....Well the very least, if i had installed Steam, i would sorta know that i wasn't the only one who can't connect -__- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiegelfleegel Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Can't connect to steam again ....it was working for about 2 weeks but you couldn't connect ot the game after that for me, and now we are a step backwards again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr7ICE Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Ok so my friend and I still cannot connect for some reason. We're both in the US, both using ps3s, and both signed into PSN with good connections. We can't connect with each other or randoms and today (unusual as I thought this was fixed) we can't even sign in again to steam. Steam support took 2 weeks and 4 days to respond to my ticket in the first place so I doubt they're going to reply again any time soon so anybody got any idea what I might be doing wrong here seeing as people like EzraMajor seem to be able to play? I'm not a trophy hunter just looking to play Co op for fun. Sucks we bought the game in the middle of last month so I haven't even gotten to try it Edited August 17, 2014 by Mr7ICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerbt97 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have been communicating with a steam staff member since the initial issue and now that that one has been fixed I have inquired about this new issue. I can't say when this issue will be fixed, but they do seem as if they will continue trying to solve it which I'm very happy about. He wrote on August 8th, Thank you for taking the time to update us on this issue. We will continue to investigate this matter and I will update your ticket as soon as further information is available. We thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this matter and we apologize for any inconvenience. and on August 13th, I sincerely apologize for the delay, however we are continue to investigate and resolve this issue.Once again, I thank you for your patience, will update your ticket with more information once available and please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions in the meantime. Hopefully good news will be coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
