There’s a big issue that’s occuring right now on many PS3s worldwide. Seems like on non-slim systems if you attempt to play certain games (like Heavy Rain), you may get:
“Registration of the trophy information could not be completed. The game will quit. (8001050F)”
This error can happen whether your system is online or not.
It seems to be clock related because it can be triggered offline and your system clock may be reset to 12/31/1999.
Right now Sony has responded in Twitter (SonyPlayStation):
We’re aware that many of you are having problems connection to PSN, and yes, we’re looking into it. Stay tuned for updates.
I had just finished Challenge of the Gods on GoW1 when this hit. Did not get the trophy, and now my trophy list doesn’t even show GoW1 anymore.
I am astounded at how thoroughly Sony has fucked up this generation for themselves. At this point I fully expect my PS3 to bite my dick off while I sleep.
Bunch of us went over a friends house to play fighting games tonight and this kind of screwed things up a bit. Weren’t able to play the full version of MvC2 for one.
Tried to fire up Demon’s Souls tonight and it wouldn’t play. Shift worked, but I definately got a trophy error message. Pretty weak. They better fix this soon.
The fact that Sony’s official Twitter seems to indicate they are treating this as a PSN issue is worrying. This is clearly unrelated to PSN since it affects consoles that aren’t connected.
I’m really hoping this isn’t some kind of hardware issue that requires repairs.
I’m so old and behind the times that it never occurred to me to check Twitter. I thought for sure they’d have something on their webpage or a message on their 800 number if something were wrong.
I hope they can deliver a firmware update even though the consoles won’t connect to PSN. The Heavy Rain patch did work, though, and System Update seemed to work.
Hopefully it’ll be a server side fix that won’t need client updates. If the PS3 does need a new FW then you may need to download it from PC to memory stick or CD.
