Re: ZIPPER - CRITICAL BUG WHEN UPDATING SOCOM 4 BETA! PLEASE READ

Despite the return of Zipper this repeats all the same mistakes of the last game and seems even more old-fashioned and generic as a result - Metro GameCentral

We have to be invited to be able to post in the beta forum. The only way to get the invite is to complete a match, which of course we cant do because we cant even get the friggin thing to run....that's why the link he posted wont work.

Re: ZIPPER - CRITICAL BUG WHEN UPDATING SOCOM 4 BETA! PLEASE READ

MonkeyGibber is right. You cannot access the beta forum before you complete a match. I just wanted to share a possible solution to this problem that was brought to my attention by nerdRoseWill over on the Playstation Plus boards:

 

 

"FIXED!

 

I found the solution.  I actually created this account (which took about 10 minutes of my life) to help you guys!

 

.....

 

Mines froze up at 0% at 2.77..

 

Anyways, the problem IS your internet connection.  I did the whole process of re-downloading the beta, restarting the system, unplugging because it freezes upon trying to restart, blah blah blah.

 

But I just took my ps3 to a friend's house who had downloaded it after I gave him the go ahead, and it's downloading!  Currently, i'm at 40% 621.27 and rising.  Should be about 10 more minutes.  My house connection, according to Speedtest.net was 8.66 mbps. My friends was 15+.  Not normal since I have FiOS.

 

 

SOLUTION: To sum up, go to another place to plug in to internet with 14+ MBPS and the problem should be fixed and you should be able to initiate the update process!"

 

I think the problem is not to do with the speed of your connection, but rather the type. I think his friend has a different type of internet set-up. But this is a great solution for those that can take advantage of it (I personally cannot because I am at college so there is no other internet available).

Having the same problem, what gives? If internet connection is really the problem then they designed a pretty poor update. The farthest I've gotten in about 20 tries is 9 megabytes. I've redownloaded several times. I just want to play some socom.
