Hello Sacknation! I just want to say that today (19-th august) near evening LBP vita became almost unplayable for me. First freezes I saw during creating mode - when I tried to choose something game freezed for a second or two and only then choose object. When I tried to rewind back it rewinded one last change almost a minute. Then I tried to play some community levels. And found that load time of already downloaded levels became almost 1.5-2 minutes (early it tooks about 10-20 seconds to load). I tried to download some new levels and did it only after 4 or 5 tries (it took about 5 minutes to download any level). And then I try to play some story level and found that they load in three-five times longer than early. I thought that problem is in network connection (maybe game try to download and upload some data) and try disable all network connection (switch on "Fly mode"). But nothing changed. Load time was still too big and there are still freeze in editor. So what is wrong with my game? maybe there are some changes that I didn't notice? I have early downloaded version of LBP (I download it one week ago for writing review for official Russian PS forums ) and I downloaded two patches for it. Right now as I read on forums in PS store users can find already patched LBP vita version. Maybe I missed some patch? Please answer is anybody have same problems during today evening? During all day game works fine. All problems began only in the evening. Or main reason is many players on LBP vita servers? But then why I have some problems during totally off-line mode? From Russia with love, Domik12

You should take a look at this. (https://getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet/topics/littlebigplanet_ps_vita_install_issues_eu_only) And LBPv has been slow for me also. On mine it has been showing the profile saving icon - it wont go away unless I restart, where it comes back when i go into create. annoying :|

That has absolutely nothing to do with his thread. Did you even read the linked post? Anyways, i was suggesting that he could have downloaded a bad copy (which if you read...), since he said " i am running an early download version..." And then I suggested it might be something with the servers. So, Domik, you are on the latest patched version, and it has been running fine before.

These problems seem similar to what I had to deal with in the beta. Really hoping that's not the case. Those problems were so frustrating I just put the vita down for a good week till the beta ended.

Yep. My thoughts exactly. I have had nothing but problems today as well. Freezes, endless loads, and I can't connect and play with anyone online. There is a little black and white icon on the bottom left of the vita. If that sucker is spinning, you might as well give up. Nothing will load. I did the beta trick, and put my vita in flight mode. The icon stopped spinning. I went back to settings, took it off of flight mode, and here it is... spinning again. I am right now, trying to download a community level. I have my vita sitting on top of my wireless router, with a 100% signal and it will not download. Getting a little frustrated now.

If you do have any of the problems stated there,You either could not install the game(Like me) Or have to install an online pass,He just have just bugs like many do right now...

For now make sure that you are on version 1.02. If there is an orange arrow at the top of the LiveArea screen, tab that to download or install the latest patch.

I download two patches, so yes, I have version 1.02 (and I have no any orange arrow notification on LiveArea screen now, I know about new patch notofications system, I install two patches for LBp vita just with help of it). Today game works a little bit better - it start to rotate its "freezing" loading icon in the down left corner just after any actions - choosing materials, adjustment some elements and so on. If I try to choose something else during rotation of "freezing" loading icon I have one second freezing of all game. If I wait for about 5-10 second this icon just disappear and everything work good until new choosing or tuning. And when I change someyhing in level description and try so save the level it freeze for about 5-10 seconds. Yesterday I download some costumes from store (from PS3 collection and bonus costumes for preorder). Maybe something wrong with these DLC, because all my troubles began shortly after its installation.. From Russia with love, Domik12

How many of you are seeing this problem? What version of the game are you using? Review copy, digital copy, or cartridge? And when did you start start playing the game? Before or after launch?

As much information about this issues as possible is really appreciated. Also, as Syroc requested, please can anyone who is also having this issue state so. Thank you, Olly

First of all thanks to Tarsier and Double Eleven for making such an awesome lbp experience. I am in no way dissatisfied with this game. Afterall, there is hardly any game I have played, that released in the past few years, that have not had a few issues that need ironed out after launch. I created on lbp psp for three years, and learned to live with with all kinds of issues. So this is not a huge deal for me. How many of you are seeing this problem? What version of the game are you using? Review copy, digital copy, or cartridge? And when did you start start playing the game? Before or after launch? Hello Syroc. Thanks for your fast response! I have a cartridge version, running the 1.02 updated game. I started playing the game last Friday. As much information about this issues as possible is really appreciated. Also, as Syroc requested, please can anyone who is also having this issue state so. Thank you, Olly Hello Olly! Nice to meet you! Thanks for responding to the thread. I only started having these issues yesterday (Thursday). It is basically the same problem I had in the beta. When the little black and white icon is spinning in bottom left corner of vita is when things start to get problematic. The main issue I was having yesterday was trying to get online levels to play and download. They would never load or DL. I experimented today by playing a level online. It loaded in about a minute. That is a decent load time in my opinion. When the level was finished the black and white icon started spinning and nothing would load after that. I restarted my game, and I was able to play another level. The same thing happened again. It seems like to me that might be a good work around for time being. Just restart you game every once in a while. In the beta, everything ran smooth for the first few days then the issues started to present themselves. Just like this. I wonder if the more you create, prizes you collect, decorate your pod, etc... adds up after a while, and bogs everything down. I am no way and expert, hahaha! Anyway thanks for taking the time to talk to us here at lbpcentral. My vita psn is samiamiamsam, not VelcroJonze.

Wait...THE ONLINE PASS IS FREE?! Great news. Will get that soon(I'm running on a "pre-release" copy in US, so not on store yet).

Thanks for all of your feedback so far. For those experiencing these issues, please answer the following questions below: 1. Does this issue only occur in a play session after Community activity (i.e. any interaction with other players or community levels), or is it persistent from booting the title? 2. Are there any noticeable differences playing with the device's networking functions disabled (Airplane mode turned on)? 3. VelcroJonze, have you also installed any of the pre-order bonus costumes? If so, did your symptoms also begin shortly after? 4. Are you using the download version of the title, or the cart version? 5. For those experiencing this issue, if you are willing, please could you send me a private message with your network configuration (router manufacturer, NAT type, environment - e.g. home network, office network, college/university network, and an explanation of how your networking devices are connected - e.g. Vita > Switch > Router > Internet). Thank you again for your feedback.

Not sure if this will help, but I am not experiencing problems. I imagine a counter-example may help. I do not have any of the preorder costumes (or any dlc costumes), and am using the cartridge version. Bought it Sept 21. Perhaps related to how long you've played...? As for the network, I don't imagine it will hurt posting it here - Linksys WRT400N - NAT type 2 (I'm assuming you want the sony method) - Home network - Vita > Wireless-Router > Internet The only thing that I took notice of being different than LBP2 was rewinding in create taking a few seconds longer. Obviously understandable.

Hello Olly! Sorry it took a while to respond. I have not installed the pre order dlc. I was going to get it digital but when the street release was moved up, I could not resist. But without pre ordering it I did not get a code for the dlc. I have still been having issues this week though. My main problem is playing online levels. It takes an average of 2-5 minutes just to load a creators planet. After the planet loads I tap the level icon, and it's another 2- 5 minutes of loading. So ,sometimes it is a 10 minute wait to play a community level. Last night I played for over two hours and played a total of five levels. I played most of them more than once though. Sometimes I get frustrated thinking it will never load and reset the game. That helps most of the time. My wifi connection is great too. I just don't understand what the problem is. I am considering trading the physical copy in and going digital just to see if it helps.

Hi VelcroJonze, Thank you for the feedback. This issue will almost definitely not be due to having a physical copy of the game. Could you please send me a private mail with the following information: - Router manufacturer, model number and firmware version - Does your router have UPnP (universal plug and play) enabled? (If so, please try disabling it and let me know if there is any difference) - What is your connection environment and setup? (e.g. university network, Vita > Router > Router > Internet) - What's your NAT type set to? Thanks in advance, Olly

Hey Olly. I honestly don't think it is the router. This happens everywhere I try to play. My house, at work, my brothers house, my sisters house, my friends house, etc. I have a 30 minute lunch at work yesterday. I want to play my friends level that I read about in these forums. His planet would never load. I am the only one in the building, so there is no interference with other mobile devices, and I am sitting beside the router with 100% signal, and his planet would not load. But when you go to cool pages, the guy that is on top, his planet will always load in less than five seconds. I wish you did not have to go to a creators planet first. You have to go through such a long load just to get to the option of playing the level. Then when you tap the icon to play the level, another load. That may or may not even load. I have had the same problem at my house this evening. And my wifi signal is very strong. Here is a theory I have not tried. I was in the beta. I had three levels that were leftovers on the server when I first signed into the lbp server last Tuesday. Do you think that having those levels on my moon is causing this trouble? It seems that I am the only one experiencing these problems. No one has posted in this thread for a couple of days. I am ready to try anything at this point. Even deleting some levels.

VelcroJonze: Hi. I have completelly same issue here. And Im on the digital copy (to be precise on the review version received 4th september. But if Im correct it is the same one as the one on the store now.) Im playing the community levels less and less because the loading are not worth my time. What is strange, sometimes I experience the crazy long loading even between end-game-screen and return to the main menu (my downloads, cool levels, etc sections). Once I even wanted to spent some time just decorating my pod and it took few minutes just to load up all the sticker on one page. They were showing one by one really slowly. By my experience this problem is getting worse and worse each day. So my theory is that there is eighter some problems with the speed (impossible to tell unless they will implement some download inpormations like "Loading level - 32kb/547kb - speed 24kb/s") But because the problem is affecting also some offline content (stickers loadings from level to menu,...) and it is getting worse over time (game was smooth when I get it. But is basicly unplayable now) I have a theroy that there might be some memory usage issue caused by adding new content. It feels like by downloading amost all available costumes and sticker pack, decorating my pod, adding many screenshots into stickers selection, expanding my downloaded levels collection, etc the game is somehow getting worse in the performance. I dont believe it is by the router or network connection. Im really addicted player owning many different consoles and playing with this router online on all of them. Without any problems with speed or the connection to other players or servers with data.

Without any problems with speed or the connection to other players or servers with data. Yes, this is beginning to hinder my enjoyment of the game. I am sorry to hear you are having problems too. I know what you mean. I also think that the longer I have played the worst it gets. It has gotten to the point that my vita will go into sleep mode almost everytime I am loading a level. I set my vita down, and begin to do something else, and when I come back to the game, my vita is asleep and when I fire it back up, I of course have lost my internet connection, and the level never loaded. I wish there was a progress bar or something to let you know if it is even loading, or not. I love lbp, and playing community levels, but I am almost at the point where I want to move on to something else. And that sucks!!

Having the same issue with the user created levels not loading up to download or taking way too long to dl. Started happening about 4 days ago. First week I had lbp, never had this issue. All other functions (including access store) work fast and fine, along with all other vita games online functionality. Sure hope this clears up. NAT is open with good signal, using a linksys on Comcast service.

im almost sure that is when you have to much screenshots and decorations in your planet and your planet. im not totally sure, i didn't have this problem before i customize my planet and my pod, and some people say that they fix this problem reseting the data, i think that this is the most logic answer because nobody has this problem when the game was new.

Same issue here. Game has become unplayable right after I bought it. Retail Copy EU, vita 3g+wifi (used everywhere, both connections) 16GB memory card with at least 5-6GB space free left. And yes, I used the camera function to shoot images. I'm now trying to backup my data to PC and create a new save, I will let you know if the problem occurs only when you shoot pics and use decorations. Although one of the best features this game has is the camera function, I really look forward to a fix for this. Thanks

I think its just that the servers are being too crowded. But yeah, its a shame with the loading times. Looks like this will be the mayor problem in LBPV. LBP2 had joining issues. And on LBPV, its loading issues.

I really doubt is a server problem. Because it's very speedy until it happen something even in create mode, and loading times increases of about 1000%, that sounds like a bug.

I quote myself, erased all the data and played through the first section of the story again to unlock online mode. Now I did like 20 community levels and no issue at all. I really think it's a problem related to the amount of personalization data (like photos, stickers, or pod) while being connected to internet (maybe fail upload speed) Shame. Need to fix! I want to collect hundred pictures to be able to stick them everywhere in the game!

Cause i restored my pod,Deleted some photos and community object,But i don't think i see any improvements...

Dunno. I didn't notice any long loading times after reinstalling, though I just shooted 1 photo. But downloaded community levels and items, placed into create mode and even used costumes. didn't play more than 1-2 hour though, I'll update if It gets stuck again.

I registered an account here as soon as I saw that the developers had responded to the complaint. I can confirm that the same thing is happening to me. I own a physical copy of the game and playing community levels is an absolute nightmare. I have tried to play that Space Corps: ReVITAlized level probably 10 times, but have never succeeded in getting it loaded or downloaded. I haven't tried this yet, but as I was researching this issue I came across the following suggestion: Go to Settings>Network>Wifi settings>select your wifi network>from the list select advanced settings Now look for DNS, and change its setting from automatic to manual. Set the primary and secondary to what's below: Primary (first) 208.67.222.222 Secondary. 208.67.220.220 Than press ok to save your settings and try the game now. Going to try that when I get home.

2012-10-01 21:46:00 Author: Unknown User

I tried to change DNS, but it didn't help me much. But I found my own universal solution, that I already posted here (https://getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet/topics/save_icon_persists_causing_numerous_gameplay_issue s_vita): So main solution for all these problems right now is just to wait while save icon will disappear from the screen. In the pod after taking photos or saving costume it take about 10-20 seconds, while downloading community level it take 20-60seconds and in creator mode it can take from 10 to 60 seconds. During this period I just not touch PS Vita and then I can easily continue any actions - play on-line, change costumes or create anything in editor. I used this method several last days and it helped me every time (but maybe sometimes time period of rotating save icon was a little bit shorter or longer). I really hope that latter this problem will be solved with new patches. From Russia with love, Domik12

Sometimes loading times are way longer than 1 minute. It's been 25minute since the wheel started to spin now, shutting down the game and playing something else.

Attention for all who have problem with this issues!!! I already mentioned that all you need right now is just wait until save icon will disappear from the screen. It means that you need to just not touch any buttons or touch screens. Just wait!!! I do several experiments and understand that save icon will disappear after 10 to 60 seconds only if you don't do anything - do not open menu or move Sackboy, don't try to choose something with touch controls. If you will do something (anything for example open any menu or move Sackboy), then you can wait forever until save icon will disappear from the screen. So try to follow my advice and please write the results.

Also, if you save a lvl and you quit to your pod while the save icon is spinning still, it might not save at all. This happened to me several times.

Attention for all who have problem with this issues!!! No true. Yesterday I wanted to give LBPV another change. I started the game. Went to my queu. There was not saving/loading icon before that. And after cca 15 minutes when the first planet did not eve nloaded, I just shutted it down and waiting for the patch.

And after cca 15 minutes when the first planet did not eve nloaded, I just shutted it down and waiting for the patch. All that I wrote above based on my own experience with the game. Right now I can easely play community levels and work in editor with several pauses sometimes for waiting until save icon will disappear from the screen after some actions with saving data. I don't want to say that it is best solution and it will solve all problems, but maybe someone will find it useful. And here is official answer from Double Eleven (you can find it here (https://getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet/topics/save_icon_persists_causing_numerous_gameplay_issue s_vita)): "Hi all, We apologise to all those affected by this issue and would like to reassure you that we are doing our utmost to locate the cause of this bug and to fix it. For the time being, whenever the save icon is present, it is advised that users wait for it to complete its process before performing any further actions. Thank you for your patience and understanding. D11 " And I really hope that we will have patch for solving all these problems soon enough. From Russia with love, Domick12
