It might do that, however there’s no (at least yet) possibility for hackers to pop PS4 trophies against your will. So unless PS3 has got the same instant sync capability too, the aforementioned workaround should be still viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether or not hackers can pop trophies for you on PS4, but I do think that @Gray-Fox-44 should update the OP as he wrote that you can delete unwanted trophies on PS4 as well and that is no longer true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated the OP @Doomsdayman , thanks for pointing this out. @Se7en, this still works just fine for PS3. Such a pitty that they made auto-sync work this way on PS4... At least we had an option to erase those trophies before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1rvine Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Just re-read this for the first time in awhile since I saw recent activity. Anyway, GTA V (not IV which I already see) should be added to the top of the list of affected games. It's probably the worst offender, since its the most popular game (after Black Ops II) and both the PS3 and PS4 game clearly have people hacking things.

Doomsdayman Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I just saw some of my PS3 trophies online while I didn't synced them. So I think it's auto on PS3 as well, not 100% sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just a quick question, kind of off-topic but......what happens with save files you can't backup? Only example I can think of right now is Mass Effect 1 (not sure about the sequels), but that game wouldn't let you back up save files. If I get a trophy because of a hacker and use this method, do I have to lose the progress in games with data I can't back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonemankane Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I wish I found this all out when I joined a hacked game that had level 200 enemies in borderlands pre sequel and the host of the game just killed 1 enemy and I hit level 50 without trying.

Therefore, if you log out right after the trophy pops, it won't be added to your online synched data.

Even though, as @SnowxSakura said, you can upload those protected save files to the cloud if you are a PS Plus subscriber... Not an ideal solution, but it works...

There are no 'hackers' or modders on PS4 (well in the conventional sense) as there is no online access for jailbroken (to a point) PS4s. What you see on GTA V, Ghosts, or maybe Borderlands are transferred accounts -- users get modded equipment and attributes done for them on PS3 and then use their account on the PS4 or they'll upload a modded save to the cloud for a cross-platform game (or just mod the PS4 save itself). That said, I very well doubt modders can pop trophies on PS4 (and if they can, would doubt it'd be many, or just be for themselves.) I do wish that unwanted trophies could be deleted, especially for dead server PS3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugesawfan Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not sure where to ask this, but I decided to start working on GTA V's online. Within a matter of two or three hours I reached level 12 and I saw those rank trophies popping back to back, obviously in a hacked lobby. I signed out immediately so they haven't been synced. So I understand backing up the save files onto a USB stick then recreating your PS3 account, but what good will that do me if my character is level 100+? If I attempt to play GTA V again wont those trophies just pop automatically? Or is it only when I attempt to go onto GTA Online? Do I have any options aside from biting the bullet and abandoning the GTA V platinum? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_Sanchez Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 From what I understand they will pop regardless if you delete your profile and remake it to try again as stats are server side. I could be wrong though. Could someone with GTA V knowledge weigh in on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfBambam55 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 it's a kind of complicated situation...i ran a couple tests with this a while ago...sometimes my rank could be reset, sometimes it could not...it seems to depend on whether the game is able to save or not, which it does automatically after certain actions...the online is glitchy and so are the damn rank trophies so that's about as precise as I can be unfortunately... you have a chance to test it out...after you delete/create user and backup your save, load up the game...see if the trophies ding or not and what your rank is if you go online...then delete/create user again but this time load previously backed up save before loading up game... recommend recording it all if possible...that way if you get stuck with the trophies and flagged you can say "deleting/creating doesn't work" in your dispute and present your evidence...

AbleArcher97 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Several trophies auto-popped for me in a hacked lobby of World at War. At the time I was not a trophy hunter and did not think much of it. Now that I am a trophy hunter this has come back to haunt me, and has led to me being flagged for leaderboard removal. I'm unwilling to hide World at War because it is one of my most hard earned plats, and I have legitimately earned all of the base game trophies that illegitimately popped. I was wondering, if I recorded video proof of myself legitimately earning all of the trophies that popped, would be enough to get my account reinstated on the leaderboards without having to hide the game?

Enny_White Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Why is the game GTA4 on the list, but there is no game GTA5?

DEMONICRUBLE18 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I had to delete my user few years ago and make a new one due to when syncing my trophies not going to 100% they were updating but I couldn't get it to 100% for some reason. Not sure if this has been asked and I can't remember from when I did it but do we have to delete and redownload our games? Also when I did do this I lost my AC2 save because it was locked, this was before plus so I couldn't save it to the cloud, is there a solution to locked saves or will we lose them? Also can't we just copy saves to a new user account? Saves having to use a USB. On 01/09/2017 at 0:46 PM, PantherPilot97 said: Several trophies auto-popped for me in a hacked lobby of World at War.

You'd need to ask someone from the flag team to find out and if it's a yes how to go about it, but my guess is they would say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyl542 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I know this might be of an old thread but i like to mention that Sword art Online - Re Hollow fragment is possiblly considered a "hack" similar to how Dark Souls is mentioned in the main topic. Apparently someone is able to trade you a "Short Int Sword" if i remember the name well, and it has some crazy stats like +10000 STE, +10000 DEF etc... I checked the net regarding this and apparently its on some hacker forums aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarciaFever Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) So wait, if anything happens to my account in the sense that I autopop hacked trophies, and I go about in following the steps up to where I delete my profile. Do I lose just the trophies that were autopopped? Or do I lose all of he trophies that i've earned on that profile?
