As Kotaku, Joystiq and others are pointing out, we’ve released a minor firmware update (version 1.92) for the PS3. This update focuses on some PS3 compatibility and playability issues for select titles. A search site for looking up compatible titles is also in the works, as soon as it’s live, I’ll publish a link to it here.
Update: The compatibility search site is now live.
Scince upgrading to 1.92 I am having system lockups, and the disconnection issue.
Rebooting the playstation resolves the network connectivity issue for a time then it creeps up again.
I finaly got sick of my 600 POS needing to be rebooted to achieve basic functioanlit for short periods of time and actually called sony.
I was taken through the chache clearing nonsenses and rebooting and wala it worked for a few hours again.
1-126361232 Friday 7th
Rebooted deleted extra users deleted caches
I called again today after again rebootin gthe playstation to get basic functionality working.
1-126466158 Saturday 8th
turned off media server enablement and rebooted
I was angry and demanded to speak to a supervisor. Initially I was told I could not. I insisted and got this gentleman Gabriel 47575
He told me I had to upgrade my internet link.
Make sure i had the lastest firmware on everything and talk to my internet provider as the problem is with my link.
I tired to get mor information out of him. He gave none simply repeating the useless drivel about it being my internet providers problem.
He said it had nothing to do with the 1.92 update the issue is that they changed setting on the PSN server to allow for more connections. I asked if is my internet providers issue why did it work fine before this?
He was obnoxious and unhelpful.
I also asked to speak to his supervisor and I was told he was the ultimate authority.
I asked how I would file a personal complaint against him and I was told there was no way to do that. This was all in all the WORST tech support call I have ever had.
Says I need to upgrade my modem and router in order to work with Sony.
Turning off existing functionality that previously worked would not be an acceptable solution even if it did function.
I upgraded my routers firmware same issues.
Sony I am really mad.

@Jake
Oh, yes, thank you. ^-^
That’s so much better! I can get back to Warhawk now!
Thank you for posting this info!
Well I have yet to experience these issues and pray I should not ever cross pathes with it.
Not trying to be funny but how can a person by a console over 300 bucks and not purchase quality IP service or upgrade their own router to a gaming functionality router? Jus’ curious….hhhmm-I wonder
I performed all the stesp outlined above several times and it would only work for short periods of time.
I sat up last night and hunted around forums. Turns out that alot of people with linksys routers are having this issue. The fix is apparently the following.
Upgrade the router to the latest firmware
Turn off UPnP on your router
On your playstation setup your network connection again, set a static IP and disable UPnP.
Power the playstation off and on.
I did all these things and then played warhawk, lair, browsed some pages, went to the playstation store, and stayed logged onto PSN. I got up this morning andI have no connection issues still.
To the guy dissing Lair above, no the game doesn’t suck. I own it and truly love it. Play it before you judge it. I almost didn’t buy the game because of the crappy reviews but I took the risk. It was worth it, the controls are dead on, the targeting hasn’t targeted one object yet I didn’t want it to and the framerate issues are pratically unnoticeable. The story line is amazing, the graphics are mindblowing *except in a few cutscenes* and if you have trouble doing a 180 turn you obviously are a noob to the controls in which are very easy and quick to learn. The game doesn’t suck at all, the reviewers really were hard on the controls for some reason , which is one of the reasons v 1.92 tightened the controls on Lair to better perfection. Play the game, rent it, ask a friend, I don’t care but when you do play it tell the world that the reviews are bull and that the game is great!
Ok i dunno what the firmware actually did…quite disappointing as far as i know.
As for Lair being a bad game…its not really that bad but its definitly not gonna make any 360 or Wii owners jealous. The controls are fine, like #258 Half_life000111 said “the targeting hasn’t targeted one object” he didn’t want it to and i agree.
Too much happening at one time to purely enjoy the game, its like a bad version of Dynasty Warriors lol. The ground fights are pretty lame tho. The game is definitly NOT worth buying because I rented it from Blockbuster Friday night and i’m on the last level today. I didn’t play it nonstop from Friday til today so its not exactly a long game.
BTW, If you can’t do the 180 turn, NO your not a Noob, sometimes you end up dashing or something else because between shooting fireballs and tilting the controller can make you f up the 180.
Definitly RENT it before you judge it. I did and thanks to the Blockbuster rewards card, I got to rent it for free :) Saved myself 65 bucks woohoo! Towards Heavenly sword…maybe. With how much I was expecting from this game…i would hate to have the same fate happen to HS.
So after all this….
Deleting users, caches, reseting, upgrading routers, changing configurations endless rebooting, several sony tickets….
I go into Lair to check the worldwide leader board and it locks up my playstion hard no ps button nothing.
Thankyou very much for this update Sony really made for a useless device.
OMG, #256 hngrygtr……
I did the things you posted in that order and now my PS3 is working find with the PSN and all that jazz, thank you very much for your help.
I appreciate it VERY much.
Also, now it doesnt boot my laptop off the network when I turn it on.
You are tha MAN!!!!!
~Game ON!
Danke,
Only issue I still have is Lairs online leader boards locking the machine up hard.
Glad your working I really hated Sony this week.
You would think a huge organization would have a list of known issues and perhaps post fixes or at the very least an I am sorry for the crap we put you through this week ….
I have adlink and since i updated my PS3 i am having the same -problem others are experiencing but i really do not want to disable uPnP because i stream movies and other stuff using Nero media server. It transcodes .avi files to whatever the PS3 recognizes in this case mpeg 1, 2 and 4 so i can watch my videos on my big screen.
Please Sony resolve this isssue quickly. I really like Warhawk and i really hope i do not have to sacrifice streaming.
1stly, apologies to all those who posted after #33, i saw how far down the page i wasn’t and skipped ahead.
When i 1st downloaded the update i kept being logged out of PSN for an unexplained reason.
This does seem to have settled down now though, must have been server side.
I have to agree with may of you that a ‘Change Log’ should always be included and maybe a link to a more in depth one. IE.
“Improved Compatibility with PS2 titles” is what would have been nice. With a link to a list of the titles that have been improved, so we dont have to sift through all our PS2 games to find out if they play any better.
Anyway, thanks for the update, keep em coming.
My Wish List Top 6:
1 – HOME (obviously)
2 – Sub Folders – My game folder is a mess of Demos, and PSN Purchases
3 – Improved XMB access – From in-game and Internet so you can check some settings or pictures without having to exit the browser.
4 – Ability to change the XMB Icons.
5 – RSS
6 – Format Support (My PSP seems to be able to play more formats that my PS3
Patrick,
Please show some integrity towards the numerous posters and PS3 owners who do not own tvs that can accept 720p signals. Please account for this issue and let us know if a) is it even being looked and worked on?
b) what we can
woops see above:
b)what can we expect
We all need for 2.00 to be the one Sony. How about Ipod support?? 360 got it, so why not us?? Another hot topic is the video output converter. Like numerous of other people said honestley there are alot of people that have 480i/p and 1080i but no 720. I hate talking about the “others” but they have a converter to convert the game to the higest quality of your tv. I need this. My motorstorm sucks at 480! Please answer everyones questions. We all know what the 25th of Sept is so Sony give us something to weather the storm!!!!
I agree with frito. I was hype for Warhawk for weeks but ever since I got it I haven’t been able to enjoy the full experience because I had to disable my UPnP connection on my router and PS3 just to play it online. I had to do this due to the firmware 1.92 update which will not allow me to sign into the PSN or the Playstation Store unless i do. So basically I can’t use my bluetooth headset in any game because the UPnP is disabled causing my NAT Type to be at 3. So basically I need just as much help as frito and anyone else with this problem. And it would be great if I could get it.
sorry guys didn’t mean to go off topic here but didn’t anyone here find that when you updated your PSP 1000 to 3.7 and when you change your theme that the location free icon didn’t change too?
Thanks,
Lh
Can you add an in-game xmb and in-game friends list.
can we get av cables for first psp.
yeah will there be an update for the psp 1000 so that we can use the av cables?
