REAPER4536 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 17 hours ago, woggly4 said: So, I monitored the servers for the last weeks and today I witnessed how the mostly stable servers both crashed. For ~20 minutes the matchmaking only spawned unstable ones. As soon as a new stable server spawned (it was located in EU) I joined with my dummy and still didn't get the trophy at the end of the round (the round lasted 8-ish minutes). I really don't know what it is, that makes the trophy possible. Everything I thought could be a solution failed, I'm out of ideas - see below list what I already tried to no avail. Since late March 2019 I'm trying to get this pesky trophy every now and then, sometimes even every day for a few weeks and I must have played over 600 matches by now and tested several solutions but it just seems to be impossible. I really don't know what happened for people who got the trophy in the near past. Congrats to those who were very lucky and got it. See the spoiler for a list of things I thought would be a solution. Feel free to add ideas you already tried and weren't successful or untested ideas you might have.

Main stays on the server, Dummy rejoins via "join player" menu and gets into same squad Create squad with Dummy, create squad with Main. Main invites Dummy. Dummy accepts warning "you need to leave your squad in order to join" Account related Two fresh accounts created on PS3, both playing in the same squad (only each other on the friend list) - just for testing Playing with one of the above mentioned accounts in the same squad Friend list related Removing Dummy from friend list, searching for the ID in the squad menu Inviting Dummy to friendship when both accounts were already connected to EA (i.e. in the multiplayer menu) Friend Dummy and Main in Origin as well (Origin- and PSN-accounts linked) I think you have already done that. But just to update the list. Invite your dummy then (without delay and another time for another try with some seconds delay log out of PSN so that you get the notification that you have to be connected with online in order to join the squad. Maybe that works or you have already tried it. I did that and I got the notification that I lost connection (for beeing offline) and that try again notification since joined up is fucked up. Maybe consols with same network can connect then. Why do I say that? Because I can't join the online mode without being offline before. It is always telling me that I have to check my internet connection when I try to join while being logged in. By being logged off the game tells me if I want to log in and then I get connected to multiplayer if I press yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggly4 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 @REAPER4536 Thanks for the idea. Actually, I wasn't really sure, if I already tested it, so I did it again. Unfortunately the trophy still didn't pop. However, I updated the list above, listing your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghanupher Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Ok. So what @woggly4 and @EdinhoN said, if I got it right, is that those servers kind of "loop" around themselves and there is a particular moment when those servers "restart", making the trophy pop (I'm nowhere near a tech-savvy as you guys are, so bear with me on this). So, if I got it right, that refers to when and if the trophy pops or not. But how does that relate to being able to pair up with someone on the same squad via in-game invite? How does it affect that specific issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggly4 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Unfortunately this is just an assumption, because the servers restart quite regularly. But yes, this refers to if it pops or not. If you mean in the menu then it doesn't. This depends on your connection settings. If you're not able to connect, you could try to open your ports or declare your PS3 as an exposed host. If it still doesn't work you would have to switch to NAT1 (directly connecting your PS3 to the internet via PPPoE credentials) or try with another friend. If you mean why you're split up ingame even though you joined via squad menu, then we also don't know. But I think it's also related to the same server issue (and keep in mind, this is not the game server itself). Or matchmaking doesn't care about your squad and just pair players up - for example matchmaking often puts me into a squad with already three players and my Dummy gets into a squad with only one player or no squad at all. Rejoining doesn't fix this. It just seems to prioritize filling squads over squad-joins. However, everything above is just a shot in the dark, because we don't really know what happens behind the scenes, because the connection is encrypted and there's no way to intercept it with reasonable amount of effort.

JWill_55 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) From memory, I think a friend had to join you or you had to join a friend. It was vice versa for me when I did this. basically do the opposite to what you’re trying Edited June 15, 2020 by JWill_55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggly4 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Even if this were true (it's not, the leader of the squad gets the trophy) the Dummy would get it and you would know immediately that you just need to swap roles. ?

woggly4 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Thanks for trying to help. Yeah it's a real bummer that it glitched out. I'm afraid we still have to try countless times. But it is always a good reminder to get the online trophies as fast as possible, in any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColekPL Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Out of curiosity - would injecting a generated SSL certificate into CFW'd PS3 allow us to decrypt the encrypted traffic? Like how you'd do with Burp Suite or Fiddler on PC. Or is it encrypted somehow differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don’t have the means (nor technical prowess) to assist you in that endeavor, I could definitely see a positive outcome for determining a solution for this trophy issue, with that method.

hore Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) is anybody still trying to get this? i had my first session in months today, using DMZ + 2 alts (same network). Eventually they got into a squad together, but no trophy. We were even the only ones in the squad. Played match from the beginning. The other team ended it in 47 seconds. Nothing. If anyone wants to coordinate a schedule to check the servers every so often at certain times, i'd be willing to try it. Just don't wanna check solo every day like woggly did. But like he said, the servers do seem to work very rarely... Edited August 8, 2020 by hore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woggly4 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Yes, I'm still trying occasionally. But only if I think a given server situation might have changed something and I'm seeing that situation by chance. For example, recently all servers were down for like 5 hours and I tried immediately after a stable server was back online. However, until now nothing worked.

He obtained all online trophies in less than 10 minutes, so people should disregard the fact he unlocked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post woggly4 Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Finally! I got the trophy. Try now on conquest, maybe the timeframe is open! Today there were a lot of unstable servers and suddenly a stable European server spawned for Conquest. However, it wasn't that much populated. I joined with my dummy and we didn't get split up and were the only players in this squad. Total server population was 4vs4. I didn't even have the time to enter the battlefield with my dummy, he was still sitting in the "ready"-screen when the match ended (maybe that's it? or just coincidence?). Damn... That trophy-pling was the best sound today! ? See this video: https://youtu.be/VLGfxzze374 Network details: Both PS3s NAT2, same network, both wired. No custom router settings, no port forwarding.
