[LBP2] Help!

Am I missing something with cross controller?

Archive: 91 posts

Downloaded LittleBigPlanet Cross-Controller DLC. Check.
Have Vita on Cross-Controller mode asking to start Cross-Controller PS3 software. Check.
Have PS3 asking to start [Cross Controller] from the LiveArea screen. Check.

What now? It does nothing. I sit here patiently waiting for it to respond. Help!

What I did was start LBP2 first, clock on cross controller, then when it prompts turn on Vita cross controller. I pressed next on the Vita and it immediately found it and started downloading on the Vita.

Can someone explain the steps in more detail? Like the OP, I can't start the DLC at all. I already have both PS3 and Vita paired.

It's all a bit fuzzy?but I?ll try to recount what I did to the best of my recollection?

1. Download cross-controller DLC from PSN to PS3
2. Used Content Manager to move DLC from PS3 to Vita
3. Start LBP2 and choose cross-controller option
4. Start cross-controller from Remote Play bubble on Vita
5. Hit Next on Vita cross-controller screen (LBP2 cross-controller bubble gets created on Vita)
6. Exit cross-controller/Remote play apps on Vita
7. Launch LBP2 cross-controller app on Vita
8. Exit/Re-select cross-controller option in LBP2?works!

There was a lot of failing and fumbling involved. Process should be stream-lined as follows:

1. Download LBP2 cross-controller app from Vita store directly to Vita.
2. Start Vita cross-controller app
3. Start LBP2 and choose cross-controller?rejoice!

Ok I'm confused with number 2. I clicked on Content Manager and then selected PS3 to Vita. I clicked on Applications then PlayStation. It doesn't let me move the DLC to the Vita?

After connecting the Vita to the PS3 via usb cable (have to remove Nyko grip, it's usb port can only be used to charge the battery, so annoying!) clicking on the DLC capsule on the PS3 XMB brings up a black and white screen that says something like "copying is handled from Vita side". Starting Content Manager on the Vita the cross-controller data was selectable from PS3 to Vita under applications. Doesn't sound to me like you are doing anything wrong...

I can connect the 2 devices fine. My issue is there is nothing to select under applications from PS3 to Vita under content manager. It says there are no content items.

When you downloaded the dlc from PSN it put the capsule to "install" in the games column of the PS3 xmb...

I understand that. Just to clarify, the DLC we are talking about is labelled as LittleBigPlanet 2: Cross-Controller Pack right? The size is only 110 KB. When I download it, the capsule disappears because it is immediately installed as soon as the download is finished.

I also tried downloading from the store on Vita but naturally it doesn't allow me because it is considered to be a PS3 application.

My steps to get it working were more like:

1. Download and install the DLC on the PS3.
2. Click on the button on LBP2 to start the DLC (I forget exactly what it said, but it was on the community area. You can't miss it.)
3. Open the main screen for the remote play application on the Vita. Press Crossplay (it's off to the side) rather than remote play.
4. Your Vita should connect, but it will need to do a download first. It takes a few minutes.
5. Go to the new LBP2 Crossplay Icon on the main screen.
6. The Vita will connect and you will be ready to play!

When I follow these steps, I get stuck on number 4. After clicking on the blue Cross-Controller icon to the right during step 3, I clicked Next on the bottom right.

I was shown a blue screen that says "On your PS3 system, start software that supports the Cross-Controller feature." I assume this is when the Vita should detect the PS3 and start downloading. The problem is it just stays on that screen without doing anything.

I think the vita file is only given if you also have LBPV, and even then its ONLY a costume pack for LBPV. You can even go into the store and look at your download list and it will show that the PS3 file is an actually add-on and the vita file is just costume pack

I'm still stuck on #1 of the 3 step process too, doesn't move from #1 trying dozens of different start up methods

Ah, ok...I did a background download because I was also getting the Karateka demo...so it didn't install automatically.

Ok that clarifies it. I also have the costume pack for LBPV, which is irrelevant to LBP2 anyway. I still don't understand how fullofwin is able to get it working.

This process is not working for me because my wifi signal is too weak. If you have problems, you're essentially screwed unless you can boost your wifi signal.

I doubt wifi is the problem. Both my PS3 and Vita are about 2-3 meters away from the router.

Finally figured out the problem

the problem is your PSV and PS3 are in different networks, even though they are connected to the same router.

Your going have to go into the network settings of both devices, and look at the IP address , subnet mask and default gateway of both devices

and make sure that the subnet mask and default gateway are exactly the same for both devices, primary DNS should be same as default gateway to.

My ip on PS3 was 99.xx.xx.xx instead of the standard 192.168.1.xxx ip address,
so you may have to adjust your ip address to be 1 above , so if on Vita its 192.168.1.15
IP on ps3 should be 192.168.1.16

I had had to adjust all these settings on my PS3 and had it set as a NAT 1 before and now its NAT2

I had tried since 7pm EST for 7-8 hours, no lying doing everything , and starting up is every possible way, soon as i changed the network settings on PS3 to be the same as VITA, it starting downloading on Vita instantly.

To anyone that doesn't have it working, are you using the digital version or th disc based version? Disc version here and it has yet to work.

Remote play works great from anywhere there's wifi, so I know they can connect. I was able to connect and have the file transferred over to the Vita, it just won't connect for the gameplay.

Ok guys i helped FrodoFraggins to set it up... and i think people think too much trying to set it up, all you really need to know is in order to pair it you need to got to waiting screen on both the devices

Vita: got to remote play and click cross controller and contiue steps until it on awaiting screen
PS3: in LBP2 in Pod menu under Me option you should have Cross-controller like here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EUxOAgZJjO8

Since i dont see crosscontroller option in my LBP2 i suspect you need to set up vita first and then it should appear in LBP2. Now PS3 for 100% sure they need to be in that screen in order to pair dont leave it until that happens, if it not work re do Vita part

Check that the DNS settings are the same on the PS3 and the Vita. That fixed it for me.

Ok, so my issue is, I can connect my vita to my playstation and use the vita to operate the ps3, but the cross controller option on lbp isn't connecting up with my vita.....it says in the cross controller feature on the vita to ' start software that supports the cross controller feature', which is obviously the cross controller option on the ps3. That's all on on the ps3, that being step one, but it won't connect and progress to step two? Should this be put in a new threa entitled 'cross controller connectivity issues'?

I've reset both ps3 and vita, made no difference... Grrr

Edit: would seem its NOT just me : http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/...-is-out-today/

Edit 2: ok, so followed some new posts on the above thread, I input the Internet connections into the vita manually, (I got all the info by looking at the Internet settings on my iPhone, I guess your computer would also list these settings in the Internet settings option, working now

How can two systems be connected to the same wireless Internet connection yet have DIFFERENT CONNECTION INFO???? I like most, did the 'auto' connection on both systems when settin up their connections, why are they different???

This is getting really really annoying!!! I was really close for the file to DL on the Vita, then it got stuck and never finished DLing, now for some reason I tried a few more times, and it says I have no space. I don't know where I have to go to delete those files I kept trying to DL. This is a mess!!

I think I have found a solution! If the DL fails on your PS Vita, go to the top right corner, and resume the DL. Make sure you have a place where your WiFi is strong also, I don't think at this point the PS3 has to be on for this DL. once the file is complete then you can play the DLC on the PS3. I hope this help, and I DLing this again or should I say resuming ... it's taking longer than I want it to, I will let you guys know the outcome in about 45 min.....

Ok yep! Sony ******s up again!! I am starting to really think twice when buying form this company! It's the same thing over and over again!! I have been a Sony supporter since the PS1 days, and it just seems they keep on messing up! Why not just have a separate file to DL on the Vita so we don't need to have the PS3 on when DLing the file so we can just play the game with the Vita? I'm am really mad, and Sony doesn't care, they already go their money by me buying their sh*t. Not only that I bought the Gravity Rush DLC thinking it will work for Karting, and what do you know, it DOESN'T, and it clearly said is does!! SCREW YOU SONY!!

Has anybody found a real solution to this mess yet? I mean all this guessing is not a solution, there is a problem with the software and Sony just keeps quiet even though tons of users can't get this to work. I wouldn't know how to get my money back either, as I have pretty much given up on this newest LBP mess and would just like my money back.
Btw. it is not a network setting. I am quite familiar with networks

found a good solution that is working for some on the USA and EU BLOG post, and wanted to test it so i went back into my router settings in my router, by entering its address into my browser to change my PS3 back to NAT 1 to bypass the firewall as i originally had it set when it was sitting at #1 on the blue screen of the vita.

Now with my PS3 back to NAT 1 and a different subnet, Crosscontroller no longer works after being able to play several levels and it installed on both systems?

If it clearly works for me and a few others set as NAT 2 with same subnet and default gateway how is the issue not network settings?

As I said I am familiar with networks and you obviously are not, so that is not the issue here.

When I follow these steps, I get stuck on number 4. After clicking on the blue Cross-Controller icon to the right during step 3, I clicked Next on the bottom right.

I was shown a blue screen that says "On your PS3 system, start software that supports the Cross-Controller feature." I assume this is when the Vita should detect the PS3 and start downloading. The problem is it just stays on that screen without doing anything.

Did you first click on the icon that says cross controller in LBP2? If you did that correctly, when you try to start the Vita the screen should be covered with a black connection screen with a crossplay icon on it.

If that doesn't work, I wonder if it has anything to do with setting up your Vita for remote play first. I'd try that next.

Yeah, Im having this problem too. connected to the same wifi, vita already registered, at screen in-game that says to go to CC, in CC on Vita, and absolutely nothing happens. I've tried manually doing the PS3's wifi to be exactly the same as vita's, have yet to manually do vita's, But I'll post here and on twitter if I make any headway. I've heard this method has worked for a couple others... but so far, I'm not seeing much. the entire patch wasn't as finalized as it should've been, and we need TONS of fixes. :/ If you look over at http://www.getsatisfaction.com/littlebigplanet you'll see just how many people are suffering from this. Hopefully we get some fixes out real soon, so people stop complaining ;D

Tried absolutely everything explained here and still no success. I am still...after two days...unable to connect my PS3 with my Vita via Cross Control in order to download the essential LBP2 Cross-Control Application to my absolutely wonderful Playstation Vita.

Remote Play (not Cross Control) still works like it's brand, spankin' new
Content Manager data has been transferred from the wonderful PS3 to the wonderful Vita already
IP Addresses switched around, fiddled with, and violated
Everything is close enough where Signal Strength is not an issue in this day and age
Restarted PS3, restarted Vita, and restarted my patience...many times.
Currently saddened by the fact that I paid for DLC I currently cannot enjoy

If there was a smiley that illustrated this -> -_- <- at it's extreme...I would be using it.

But until then -_-

Where's my 360 at? At least it's more user friendly and reliable *gasp*

If anyone has any information that will still make this work...Please, I would be very grateful. That is all.

I don't get why Sony decided to make this an obstacle for people!! Yes I understand some people have their DLC working, but it seems like the majority as still confused like me on how to get this dam thing working! Why didn't Sony have this f-ing file that we have to DL on the Vita as a separate file on the PSN Store? Why does Sony always seem to take steps backwards. Even the PSN store itself sucks now!! I have been a supporter for so long, and they are getting on my last nerves!!!

Yep tried that, already. I think those were Attempts 47-50 in my plethora of failed connection attempts.

After inputting everything I...

Attempt #47: Set Vita's IP Address to Automatic and typed in everything on the PS3 and Vita as explained. No success
Attempt #48: Set both IP Addresses to the same thing (manually). Obviously no success...
Attempts #49 & #50: Set both IP Addresses to something different, the PS3 being one point higher, the Vita being one point lower, and vice versa. No dice in this game, my friend.

Every time just hoping the magical first step on the Vita screen would just start. I would actually rather it see it crash. At least it would be doing SOMETHING, right? (The guide was very thorough, though.)

....Yeah...any other tips, anyone?

Are you using the same Primary DNS and Secondary DNS IP addresses on both devices?

Why didn't Sony have this f-ing file that we have to DL on the Vita as a separate file on the PSN Store? Why does Sony always seem to take steps backwards. Even the PSN store itself sucks now!! I have been a supporter for so long, and they are getting on my last nerves!!!

Remote play over the internet away from home has always been a pain as well. I agree with the new store. It sucks.

Are you using the same Primary DNS and Secondary DNS IP addresses on both devices?

Yep.

Checking everything and trying again to make sure. No dice.

EDIT: I agree. The PSN Store is absolutely horrible now.

I already feel hopeless. I spent aver one hour trying to use cross play - with no success :-/
1 - I downloaded the cross play pack on PS3 and Vita. I installed it and checked it (it is available in the LBP2. And visible in data management on the Vita. I also remember that the cross play was installed on the Vita when I started LBPV)
2 - Both PS3 and Vita are on the same network with same DNS servers (they get it from same DHCP) - I have to problems to control PS3 with remote play or with transfer of the files.
3 - I start the LBP2 and to to the Cross play part. It asks me to start Cross play on vita.
4 - So I go to cross play on Vita (the default one) and it just asks me to start the game supporting the cross play on PS3.
I tried to start them in different order etc, it never connects. Have no idea how to make it work.

btw - is the installation of the Cross Pack on Vita supposed to install some new feature? It did not added me any icons anywhere.

Did everyone enjoy the beta for this release? (ironicism implied)
between the update patch screwing up all the hard work people put into their levels and the nightmare of trying to get cross control to work i wonder why they didn't run a beta like they did when they released water way back on LBP1.

If installed correctly, is there supposed to be an actual app on the vita for 'LBP2 Cross-Controller'?

I have the C-C option in the remote play livearea, but I was under the impression I shouldn't have to use that if I'd already installed the DLC.

Correct, there is a bubble for the LBP2 cross controller...you only need to use the option under remote play to get it created.

I finally got mine to work by following Theo Thomas' advice on GS.

If your Vita and PS3 are on the same network and you can't get them to see eachother, go onto your PS3's network settings and look at the 'Settings and Connection Status List' then go onto your Vita, get up the network settings on their, choose your network and go to advanced. From there go to IP address and change it from automatic to manual, input everything the same as it is on your PS3 (Default Router == Default Gateway) except the IP. Add an extra number to it, for example if the PS3 says 192.168.0.58 change the Vita to 192.168.0.59

Still nothing for me, unfortunately...

Does having a WPA2 connection have any effect whatsoever?

Or is it a possibility that they will patch this within the next few days? ...Maybe add the oh-so-difficult option to download it from the Vita PSN Store...I dunno...

After spending 2 whole gruesome hours with tech support, I finally figured what was wrong with my connection from the vita to the LBP2 game. If anyone's having problems getting cut off from the vita while in the middle of playing the cross-controller levels, then I have the solution. However, tedious it is, it works.
After getting cut off in the middle of playing, my connection from the vita kept saying "Please Wait" for over 15 min. If this happens, go out of the vita and cancel the Cross-Controller part of your profile moon. Then go to the settings and go to restore default settings. You have to go through the steps of date, time and hdmi acceptance. After that, you have to re-enter your wifi network settings. When this was all done, I just had to re-apply my theme settings and that was it.
Just go back and install Lbp2 and go to the cross-controller and press enter. Then, with your vita, select the cross-controller lbp bubble and connect. Voila, it worked every time I was disconnected. Remember, this is for those that could'nt connect back and if anyone has a better solution, please state it. Hope this helps those having the same problems as I have

(Also for those that just get a please wait black screen on their vita while waiting to connect)

So I'm at this point:

Either the vita screen says there was a error in the connection

OR

An infinite please wait screen.

Tips?

So far, when both my PS3 and Vita are on WiFi (WiFi about 35% signal), the file downloads, but then will stop halfway though.... Do you think I I should have my PS3 Wired, and try to do the downland that way? I am getting really ticked off!! This never should of been this hard, why does Sony like to complicate everything!!!??

EDIT:

Can someone please make a video on youtube on how to do the set-up where you use remote play (Something about DLing the DLC and take the bubbly and transfer it to the Vita). Once again I think I am more of a visual guy. I am confused,and thanks to Sony, they made this process the WORST pay to add this new feature. I might shy away from the next cross control game if this is how each game is done. The thing is not user friendly AT ALL!!

I think you can just grab it from your download list on the vita if you've already grabbed it on the PS3.

Sorry, i can't help aith a video, but i'll explain how i made it step by step, very detailed:

I downloaded the pack with my ps3. there were two files: one for the ps3 and one for the vita.

Then i connected my vita with the ps3 via cable and copied the vita-file on the vita.

After that i started lbp 2 and went to the option cross controller using the "central computer"

Then i started the remote controller program-thingie on my vita and waited a second. it found lbp2 and i had to wait for... maybe a minute and it started downloading something about which is 500mb big. when it finished downloading it installed the cross controller on the vita.

then you start cross controller on the vita AND in lbp 2 and press connect...

hope that helps a bit... maybe there are other ways, but that's the way i made it step by step and it works.

But regarding problems with the download itself i have no idea...

Wasn't the other bubble the Vita costumes? That is what I thought it was so I deleted it. I will do this after I get home from work today....

Also I still don't get why Sony had us do it like this, and not just have a complete separate file to DL on the PSN Store. Stupid Sony at it again....

I had the infinite wait screen yesterday. I did a system update on my Vita and that seemed to fix it, but today the problem is back again, so I honestly can't say I'm certain.

@Just_me, did you try and restore your default settings on your ps3. when that's done, you won't lose the cross-controller download on your lbp2. Just remember to re-register your remote play and follow the steps. it'll pop up the number for your vita to pair and also make sure to have the remote on constantly before loading lbp2 again. when your at your profile with the earth and moon showing cross controller, press that and then press connect. then go to your vita and press the cross controller bubble till it tells you to connect. After pressing connect, if it does'nt connect after 1 minute, cancel the vita and press retry. It should work

I did this and it worked quite well. It didn't resolve all my problems, but I think it's still just a bit buggy.

From TheoThomas on GetSatisfaction:

"The most found problem was not stated in the OP so here we go. If your Vita and PS3 are on the same network and you can't get them to see eachother, go onto your PS3's network settings and look at the 'Settings and Connection Status List' then go onto your Vita, get up the network settings on their, choose your network and go to advanced. From there go to IP address and change it from automatic to manual, input everything the same as it is on your PS3 (Default Router == Default Gateway) except the IP. Add an extra number to it, for example if the PS3 says 192.168.0.58 change the Vita to 192.168.0.59

I was livestreaming last night and it took me 1 and a half hours (during stream) to figure this out. It's nobody but Sonys fault, the Vita must pick up a super strange IP"

My problem was never both systems talking to each other, I kept DLing the file onto the Vita but it would stop and reset halfway though, why? My WiFi signal was weak! I took my router to where my PS3 is and now both Vita and PS3 had 100% signal as for WiFi, after that it was DLing all the way though!! Still wish Sony?MM would have had the Vita file separate

Been there, done that, no luck.

I set up both system exactly the same with and without dns settings. Changing the IP does nothing

ok in all honesty i could not be bothered to read through all the comments but i read some...

same problems for me too though. i go onto the cross controller pack on LBP2 where it says go to cross controller from remote play on the PS vita. so i do all that and that's as far as i go lol. it just won't connect.

i always noticed the NAT TYPE on my vita was NAT TYPE 3 but since i was able to still play online i did not think twice about it. but then i remembered that maybe this could explain why i kept getting those pop up messages on LBPV saying something about my network connection won't allow me to enjoy the game to the full (not in those words but close enough) anywho my point was that i thought the fact that my vita being NAT TYPE 3 maybe have something to do with the cross controller issue because it can't be anything else. every device in my house is connected to the same network and all of them are NAT TYPE 2 (except the vita of course)

so i did some research into it and for most people changing to NAT TYPE 2 solves almost all network issues with the vita. in order to do so you must access your router settings through your web browser and from i understand enable either port forwarding or a DMZ server. now i had no idea what these were so i did some research on that too and allowing a DMZ server can leave you open to unwanted internet traffic or something like that and is a security risk. so naturally i was cautious and i have not done it yet but its my last option now and before i do so i wanted to know if anyone on here knows anything about this kind of stuff? is there any risk to my vita or home network and internet if i do this?

i also tried another tip i found online...which was to go to the ps3 network settings, then network status. then do the same thing on the vita. go to WI-FI settings. choose the network you use. advance settings. scroll down to I.P address and press MANUAL. then enter all the details exactly the same as it is on the ps3 except for the IP ADDRESS. u must enter one number higher on the last digit. for example if on the ps3 the I.P address is 192.168.1.1 then on the vita you must enter 192.168.1.2. i did all this and tried to connect the cross controller thing again and boom! it worked!! well...i got to step two where it says downloading cross controller app. but then i got an error code. but it did work for some people so it is worth a go.

but yeah if anyone can help me with my problem then i would be really greatful :-) i just want to play the DLC that i paid for!! so to sum it all up for you... IS CHANGING THE NAT TYPE ON MY VITA BY OPENING A DMZ SERVER THROUGH MY ROUTER A SECURITY RISK AND WILL IT CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR MY VITA OR ANY OTHER DEVICE CONNECTED TO MY WIRELESS ROUTER??
