(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); *UPDATE*
You MUST download the RETAIL .pkg that came WITH the socom download in the "PATCH" folder: BEFORE you can update to 1.02 as prompted when launching Socom:4

If you DONT have the retail pakackage here it is:

Socom:4 Retail PKG: You must login or register to view this content.



If you change your debug np environment to 'sp-int' and then you load up Socom 4: Put your DNS settings:
Primary: PC's IP
Secondary: 8.8.8.8

Login to Socom 4: Multiplayer:
You connect play on the NORMAL PSN SERVERS:
ALL the people you meet you can not add' it comes bacK as:
"The playstation network ID you entered is incorrect" ect...


You CANT play ANY of the CUSTOM GAME modes it says
"You do not have access to this" (some sort of error like this)

**You also CANT play the 'Abandoned' game mode'

Ill see if theres a way to play these game modes and report back soon..

*If you havent downloaded Socom 4: yet, this game (full) is a whopping 22+GB!
There is a repacked 8.9GB version but people are reporting back errors. I am using the 22 GB version and it works perfect.

Dude you have to set your dns settings as i said. And yes im playing with this method right now.

Download the RETAIL package thaat came with the socom download

Then when you login, do the update it ask you do to.

Whalaa your on psn servers.

thanks a lot dude !!!

Or you could just set your environment to np and start the game and it will download and install the patch like normal. And no you do not need the DNS to play online. Blaze take it off and try then come back here and say that you need it.

You need DNS to re-map some games to play. My DNS is an example.

Oh yes I know that but for Socom 4 you just need to set up your internet connection like normal. Mind you if you are playing other games that require the DNS like Blops then you may as well leave it set. I was just stating that it is not required like he states in his how to even though he forgot to tell anyone which program to use as if just setting the DNS to you PC IP would magically fix everything. lol Sirblazealot you may want to edit your tut for n00bs sake.

BTW is your fully up and working now? I have not switched and was planning on it but last I heard there was an issue with a couple games.

Probably never be perfect, but I am trying to improve it.

I cant even play off line without a system update im on fw 355
damn sony

Thread updated with the download to the retail PKG

If you are using Rebug then set the environment to np and restart the system. The start the game and it will update. Go back to sp-int and enjoy.
