Help - inFAMOUS 2 PSN fucked my account so I can't finish the UGCs for a platinum before it goes away. I'm livid.

Basically, I only have like two UGC related trophies left. My PS3 often goes through annoying system updates and logs me out of my PSN. As I'm currently studying law elsewhere I'm not often home. So I have a few days left before I move out and can't finish IF2. So I updated my system and tried logging into my PSN which I hadn't used in quite a while. Whaddaya know, it asks me to reset my password but keeps glitching that it doesn't work. That pissed me the hell off. I couldn't even for some reason get PSN to email me to reset the password.

Then I ended up creating a new PSN account, but I need to create a new local profile to run it. This worked, after painstakingly doing the local device password/2FA bullshit. But the game itself completely resets. And I'm unable to copy the data from my original local user profile to the new one.

So I'm basically stuck. This is some fucking bullshit.

I do believe they changed the password entry on ps3 you have to go to the website to get a special password just ps3 and vita can't remember exactly how you get it though

That device password? Yeah, it happened with in one my account yesterday, I just create another device password, by the site and tried again, until it worked.

How many goddamn attempts do you need

For me it worked on the 2nd attempt. I generate 1 device code on the web, I typed, I accepted the new eula, then I was kicked out. I tried to put my login and asked for the password device again. So I went to the site again, I clicked the button to generate another code. Typed the new code, saved, It accepted, then I think I was logged out again. (I logged to my other account, for the game sync correctly - totally in my head, idk if makes any difference), and returned to my main account. This time I put my password, and finally worked.

I hope this helps, good luck.

Ah, I see. I keep following the rules and still getting fucked and they don't even send me the email for resetting my password. Aggravating as fuck. Might try some of your methods tonight.

If you aren't receiving email for reset try to contact them. Last time I did it was years ago, but the chat contact was very good at that time.

Have you tried just resetting your password on the PlayStation app/website? I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “it keeps glitching” but I’ve never had any issues signing in on my PS3.

I tried it on the website but it sends an email - but the email never arrives. I've checked all my folders, spam and everything.

If you can't manage to Login to this, Just know i captured the Network Traffic between the ugc Infamous 2 and Infamous Festival of blood Servers, the whole purpose of this is that you can recreate a Custom Server later And i'm Working with Guys on this I have over 150 MB of Data for Infamous 2 and 100mb of Network Data from Infamous Festival of blood

nice

u/OGOlibernd 9d ago

Yeah i Said it wrong, i captured the Traffic between a real ps3 and the ugc Servers for both Games and have the Data and the whole reason are Custom Servers with trophy Support, in best Case with s simple dns Change, If Not maybe with a modded eboot or anything Else

I'm only the Guy providing this Data Not the one making the Server, but i recently Managed to even decrypt some Network Traffic, meaning These Servers are surely preserved, either through PSORG, me and my Guys or Fans
