But its like 2 more weeks till uni is over, and I can get back to some proper gaming!

LBP Play, Create, Share scores reactivated 'soon'

No doubt those of you who've been playing LittleBigPlanet (we're going to go ahead and assume that's most of you) have noticed a few oddities, here and there. For example, the "Play, Create, Share" profile scoreboards have not been functioning at all since launch. The "News" feature has also been proudly displaying absolutely nothing. We forgave these inconsistancies at first, but the game has been out over a month now, so where are these features?

Media Molecule's Community Manager has cleared up the situation with a post on the official European PlayStation forums. Apparently some of the game's online features were deactivated until the developers were happy with online server performance. They're now "not far from server stability," so these features will soon be making a return. Hopefully this will also prompt them to release any patches they have waiting in the wings.

It’s not exactly broken, but it is deactivated at present.

Until we’re happy with server performance we’ve switched off a few online features, Play Create Share scoring being one, in order to help the service to remain stable. The good news is that we’re not far from reaching stability, so expect this to return soon. As soon as there’s an exact date for its return I’ll let you know.

Is there any word on resolving these ongoing latency issues since release. Every time I join someone I get connection problems and/or my character warps all over the place making the game unplayable online.

Not that we know of.

Though I think they are slowly sorting it out, and one would figure that there will be a new patch soon to go along with the turning on of the P/C/S points system to iron out any bugs and stream line it a bit for stability.

Over the past weeks, we?ve been reading lots of forum posts, comments to blog posts and news posts and even heard questions coming into our consumer services hotlines. To better serve the community, we?ve decided to provide a weekly update on the hot topics and answer the burning questions you all have.

3078767990_206aa786a3.jpg

First off, wanted to introduce ?Sam_Protagonist? to everyone. He?s our global community manager for LittleBigPlanet and our eyes and ears for all things community. You can find him interacting on the EU and US forums providing updates to the community. Keep a look out for his forum posts and occasional LBP News Site posts for the latest updates.

So for our first installment of ?SACK IT TO ME? - we?ve decided to summarize some of the major topics the community wModeration

Moderation

The level moderation process is something we?re continually improving. The small percentage of levels moderated have been done so after the community has reported them using the Good Grief tool. We never moderate levels that have not been reported in this way. The vast majority of moderated levels were due to offensive material, however we are evolving the way moderation happens to ensure that creators are made aware of why their level was blocked. More Serversy.

Servers

We hope you?ve noticed that over the past few weeks, we?ve been working away and our servers are now much improved - from the updated scoreboards to the connection speeds. Just know we?re constantly looking to improve the experience and your feedback has been very helpful. Additionally, below are a few online stats for your viewing pleasure:

* # of user generated (UG) levels = 177,657

* # of comments = 1,093,491

* # of times Story levels have been played online = 36,661,881

* # of times UG levels have been played online = 22,463,892

* # of levels playPlay Create Share stats & Search FunctionalitySearch Functionality

Now that the servers are stable, we?ll continue to improve the ?Share? experience. We?ve heard your requests to get better search functionality to find levels and getting the PLAY, CREATE, SHARE stats up and running on the Info Moon and have put this on the top of our list. So stay tuned for a few announcements

In the meantime, there are a few ?other? ways to find some cool levels:

* LBP Review League (US Forums)

* LittleBigPlanet Stages (an un-official list on Facebook)

* ?10 LBP levels you have to play? (GamesRadar.com)

* ?Top 50 User-Created LBP levels? (UGO.com)

* Search for LBC1 levels and help judge the first LittleBigChallenge: PS3 Second Anniversary Updateshallenge: PS3 Second Anniversary Updates

We?ve been excited to see all the posted ?LBC1″ level submissions for our first in-game LittleBigChallenge, so much that we wanted to share a few of the ones that caught our eye. After reading the forums, looks like we struck a nerve with a few of you thinking these updates are unfair publicity to the selected. Wanted to re-assure you that our intention to highlight a few of these levels, is to celebrate the creation of a variety of levels from a variety of creators - NOT to indicate any frontrunners or winners. Judging is completely separate from these updates and the evaluation of these levels will take into consideration a creators creativity, game design, innovation, use of tools, etc - NOT just ?hearts? and ?plays?.

As an insight to the evaluation process, we plan to first collect the formal e-mail submissions, list out the levels w/ various stats (on the server side), then have our judges spend a few days to play thru and judge levels and award the top 5 creators for this challenge.

Also, check back on Friday where we?ll list out the submissions-to-date, soDay 1 T-shirteekend playing the Challenge levels.

Day 1 T-shirt

Finally, some of you are wondering what happened to the Day 1 T-Shirt mentioned in the past. This was available in other countries for (equivalent of) $4.99, but we decided to hold back its availability in North America as we evaluate if such a unique item (RARE + $4.99 + time-based) is appropriate for our PS Store. There may be other RARE items like this in the future, so check back on future DLC announcements.

? We hope this answers your current batch of questions. Comment away below and let us know what else questions you want answered for next weeks batch?

Damn 59 million level plays is a lot!

Patch 1.05 is up now, dunno what's changed yet.
There aren't any significant code updates in this patch, it's largely just data to ensure that everyone can see upcoming content in-game. When we release larger updates we'll also announce the changes that are made.

By the way, good site for levels

http://www.sackbook.com/

Yep, I singed up to it yesterday. It is really tricky to sign up to as you have to add your PSNID and create a new password then you are given a code. You then have to find the LBP level "Sackbook" by "Sackbook", post the code in the comments, wait about 30 mins for it to re-cache the data from LBP and then click the Continue button. :)

Looks like I'm going to be getting this game :D is there anything in particular I should know to get started or is it just as easy as plug and play? Can you play online multiplayer co-op on the same level with random players? Is the online play and downloading/sharing of custom levels free?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm shore you can't download levels. Only play them online with friends or on your own.

there are some levels that can be downloaded. the level creator has the option to let other people download their levels or not, but most choose to lock their levels.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.82 Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.4.2550 Updated MPC Audio Renderer A few crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.

      If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.
