Maintenance for the week of July 13:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – July 13
The issues on the North American and European PlayStation® megaservers have been resolved at this time. If you continue to experience difficulties at login, please restart your client. Thank you for your patience!
Last night I got the same problem as what I described in my post below but the second time it came up "Error 303 - unable to connect to server'....or something like that.
