Re: Socom: Confrontation (PS3)

what was wrong ? have it set up wrong or something ?

I was missing the whole second step...LOL. I saw the blue light, I didn;t know I had to go into the audio settings and do it there too. I will be on tonight no doubt.


Also, if I have the PS3 setup for automatic, and my set is 1080p native, why doesn't it automatically stay in 1080p. Heel you have the same set as mine, is there a secret?

I just did the auto detect thing, and it detected 1080p. Where are you seeing that it is not staying in 1080p?

I just pulled the trigger on this. I was expecting FIFA to arrive in the mail and it didn't, so out of frustration I bought this to occupy my time.

I've always had it set on automatic, and it detected 1080p all the time, but when the game is on it still says 720p. I know you told me we both had the same set one time, if you press the display button on the remote when the game is on it will tell you the display it's in.

Re: Socom: Confrontation (PS3)

Why not instead of doing auto you set it yourself?

I know some games use 720P only (madden, ncaa, alot of EA products) but a good 90% or higher use 1080p or 1080i.

Re: Socom: Confrontation (PS3)

Socom might only be 720p. Not sure though. A lot of games dont do 1080p i thought, which is why some people think ps3 is not reaching its full capabilities

New post on socom.com today

"Hello,

I wanted to keep everyone up to date on where we are and what we are doing.

The consumer response to SOCOM: Confrontation has been huge. We are consistently seeing almost 100,000 people log in everyday with peaks of 25,000 simultaneous users. On average, you are playing about 3.1 hours per person with a total of 300,000 player hours everyday. I would like to thank all of you for helping to make SOCOM: Confrontation such a great success.

As I'm sure many of you are aware, the launch has not gone without its share of problems. Unfortunately, the server environment is not holding up during peak loads. We've made many changes and improvements to the server to improve the issues (the first few days were really rocky) but we are still seeing server issues when we get up to around 25,000 simultaneous players during peak hours. Our primary focus at this time is to resolve these server issues. We have all available resources looking into the issues and we are trying to resolve them as quickly as possible. It is not as easy as adding more servers, we have to identify and fix the bottlenecks in the system which are preventing the servers from scaling properly. The servers should continue to get progressively better as we roll out server side updates.

As a reminder, our scheduled daily server maintenance is between 5am and 8am PDT (8am to 11am EDT). We bring the servers down during this time to roll out updates. The servers will usually only be down for about 20-30 minutes but some updates may take longer.

In parallel to the server updates, we are also working on a new client patch which resolves some client side stability issues. These issues include getting booted to the XMB, large number of players getting disconnected from a specific game and other issues. We've been working on and testing this since the game launched and we should have a final version ready for release in the next week or so. It is hard to provide an exact date or timeframe as we need to make sure the patch is thoroughly tested and does not introduce any new issues.

We are also working on a patch to enable trophies and address various user feedback but this will be after the stability patch. Our top priority is getting both the servers and client as stable as possible before making any changes which could possibly cause other issues. Please continue to provide feedback in the SOCOM: Confrontation PlayStation.com forum. We do read it and use the feedback to make further changes and tweaks in future updates.

Regards,

Seth Luisi
Director of Development
Sony Computer Entertainment America"


Hopefully they continue to work and get things going, there are a lot of features not yet adding in that were even shown to us in the beta as well as being shown in the games guide.

Its amazing to have the major faults in the game yet its still awesome gameplay wise.

I understand what your saying, but then my point is, what the hell is auto for then? Also, if I set it to 1080p I have to set it back to 720p. because most PS3 games are in 720p. I thought auto was for this purpose.

Re: Socom: Confrontation (PS3)

ok guys just checking in and it seems everyone is having a great time playing the game. As the clan leader I am trying to make sure I get everyone in the clan. Its kind of tough because you cannot just add randoms. They have to be on your friends list or they have to want to apply. The servers are getting more stable so its getting better to play. I'll be on later to play with everyone. Hell, Even the guy from Sony wants to play with us, How cool is that?

ooh yea FF don't get me wrong I understand ya point. I was just pointing out a quick fix if nothing else.

See my TV a 65" projection has only 480i and 1080i. No 720p so this has caused some issues with me since the playstation 3 does not have a built in scaler. So I have to buy titles that support 1080i. So far all my PS3 titles have 1080i.

The Show
Dead Space
Saints Row 2
Metal Gear solid 4
NBA 2k9

Titles such as NCAA or madden I buy for my 360 cause it have the built in scaler.

Just wait till peak hours a little later in the evening and it will get a little glitchy disconnecting ppl and what not. But its worse on the weekends.
