Improve Trophy Sync. Speed

We all know the problem. While your trophy list grows and as more games you install, the synchronize process of the trophies becomes slower and slower. Now I found a simple solution to fix this problem and speed it up.

Check out the source for the How-To

for some reason when i turn the ps3 on holding down the ps button i dont get the 2 beeps, ive heled it down for ages, and diti just stays on he usr sellect screen... maybe im just too impatient i dont know but anyway i cant get it to work lol.

villevalorox6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

you dont hold down the ps button. You hold down the power button on the front untill you hear 2 beeps. not the ps button :)

although this must be a new screen with a resent firmware. Because I have done this many times when going back to the ps3 os form linux and all it does is reset the system settings. . . I'm not at home to try this :( ...

snaz276174d ago

thanks dude i guess i didnt read it properly, in my defence i have just woken up lmao... ill give it a go now, tho i doubt its gonna make that much difference... i dont think its that slow anyway, anyway thanks again

snaz276174d ago

i turned the system off, then held down the power button, i heard a beep, then the next beep was the ps3 turning off lmao, and i tried letting go after the first beep, it just reset the input, ie put it back to composit, and then told me a hdmi cable was found... god knows what im doing wrong lol

FamilyGuy6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

There was a comparison article like last week or the week before comparing live and psn and they had trophy sync at like 27 or 37 seconds, in-game. I get no where near that amount of time, more like 8 to 13 seconds. What are you guys doing different?

That menu is news to me though, i guess it's been a while since i've had to force my ps3 to its default settings, which is where this menu now pops up.

I should do this to see if it will fix my text pad in the web browser. It used to have a bar on top that showed what you were typing but it disappeared one day (no where near a firmware update) and now i have to see it only on the actual sites text box.

snaz276174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

im not doing it cos i feel the trophies are slow, im trying it just cos im curious really lol... i cant say ive sat down and timed how long it takes, aslong as its not hours its all good aint it? i cant say i do it that much really anyway lmao.

edit.. dont get me wrong i am abit of a trophy whore im currently at 545 trophies lol, but i just rarely check what my friends have, and as the the text box dissapearing i think that happened to me once, tho im not sure how i got it back... maybe if you restore factory settings that would do the trick?

FamilyGuy6174d ago

I never really checked trophies before until i got inFamous and then BlazBlue. i just like to check once in a while to see how far along i am compared to my friends that have those same games.

Ahmay6173d ago

i think you "sink with server" hit triangle on "trophy collection"

when i switched my 40gig hdd to 320, i watched a video on youtube that said you had to sink with server before changing it in order for your trophies to transfer over to your new hdd. once you change it you go back and retrieve it...

so i think updating your trophies to the server may speed it up...

when you have ur ps3 set up for hdmi connection with hdmi cable.. holding on that power button would resset ur settings to sd automatically. in other words if u switch the hdmi cable to the av cables, then that would be the way to get the display up if you didn't change it a head of time.

Marceles6173d ago

Wait until you get 1600 trophies lol...but I'll admit, the speed has improved from how it was before. Before it wouldn't let you exit until everyone's trophies loaded, but now you can and everything comes up alot faster than before.

TheTruth896174d ago

the problem is just for this gay.
my ps3 is always at the same speed for sync the trophies.

The_Beast6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

can i play games online with ease? yes
can i chat with friends and clan members? yes
do i get dedicated servers for most exclusives? yes
*messages, cross game text chat? yes*
do i have to pay?no
do i get ads? no

thats all i relly need and im fine with it and im sure most are :/ and i dont even use cross game text chat and i dont see my self using cross game voice chat.i dont see myslef talking to diff people on other games :/ most people i talk to is when were playing games like cod4, or killzone 2... so we can talk about the game and some other stuff. if i wanted to talk to someone about somthing else.. its called texting or calling, im sure most of you have cell phones out there. or just send a message on ps3 :/

idk why people make it sound like sound like xblive is 100X better. its just becouse you pay for it does not make it better, people need to get over it

i play live over my cousins and i just dont see whats the big deal.
so if we were to get cross game invite and cross game voice chat were even?.....

but i guess people will keep saying its better becouse they payed for it when in fact they know the truth

Cheers,

Mindboggle6174d ago

Hmm i dont feel safe doing this, so im not...

Model6174d ago

kiikoooo6174d ago

the problem with trophies is that its really annoying to access. u have to click the ps home, then navigate to game, then trophies.. its annoying for me.

BaSeBaLlKiD7216174d ago

what do you mean to access? if you mean to look at them, you could just easily go to the trophy collection on the XMB...

1Victor6174d ago (Edited 6174d ago )

DON'T DO THAT UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR HDD REFORMATTED plus it would take several hours after witch all of your messages , videos and save data will be gone :O .

CrayzeeCarl6174d ago

Rebuilding does not erase everything. It sometimes erases PSN messages and screws up music/video/photo *playlists*, but it does not delete any music/video/photo/save *files*.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle48d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7748d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde55d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy55d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7756d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga56d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199256d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga56d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman55d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger56d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box56d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion55d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7256d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7556d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit56d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14956d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7756d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
