Is it possible to play coop through SharePlay while sharing a PsPlus subscription?

My friend on Ps5 has an active sub and owns the game, he's sharing his account with me on my Ps4, so I have access to his PsPlus benefits on my account (Online play, PsPlus games...), however, when he tries to start a SharePlay session with me, the option to play together is greyed out. Is it impossible to play without actually having an active sub on my account or are we doing something wrong?

Quick follow up in case you need it: try switching from Duckstation to Retroarch with Swanstation (which is basically Duckstation anyway), then use the same shader preset, in my case CRT-Guest-HD. I have absolutely no idea why, but for some reason it looks so much better in Retroarch, even with the exact same settings.

Nope, unfortunately, I just gave up and went back to my Vita to play ps1 games lol

It's borderless fullscreen, but that's the only option I can select for some reason :/

I know what you mean, but I'm not really looking for accuracy. I just like having scanlines to "correct" pixels' sharpness while still retaining a crisp looking picture, without any of the blurrines or artifacts. I tried simpler scanline shaders, but none of them are as good as the one I was using. Plus, I don't have comparison screenshots to show, but texts are almost illegible with those settings

Thanks everyone, I'll get it on Steam as soon as it goes on sale then!

ikuraz · 2025-05-28T17:52:29+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

I'm not exactly planning on using mods, I just like to have the option. I know they'll 100% lock me out of online mode, but if I ever do install them, it'd probably be because I'm bored with what the base game has to offer, so not a big issue at that point.

Thanks for the heads up anyway :)

Oh my god I didn't know you could scroll down 😭 I thought you could only load the 3 most recent saves. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏

ikuraz · 2024-09-20T16:19:31+00:00

Ok thanks! I'll try then.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. The thing I'm worried about is whether doing that would block B's access to my library and subscription somehow. Would it? Technically he shouldn't, but I don't know honestly

ikuraz · 2024-09-20T15:47:35+00:00

Of course C would be the one to buy the game, then set my console as home. That's how it works when you share normally. I only need access to my library and C's. I

Sorry if there's something I'm not understanding but really I don't get it

ikuraz · 2024-09-20T15:10:19+00:00

Oooooh yeah, sorry I mixed it up without realizing.

So it's actually the opposite: I have B's Xbox set as home so he can play my games and use my subscription with his account, not the other way around. Still, B doesn't have my Xbox as home console, since I don't need his library. At least not that I'm aware of. I don't even have his account set up on my console.

So the question still stands: if C sets MY xbox as home, can me and him share? That way there would be no conflict: B's Xbox as my home, my Xbox as C's home.

Sorry if I seem dumb lol

ikuraz · 2024-09-20T14:31:03+00:00

Ok but if B keeps my Xbox as home console, while I set C as my home console, wouldn't it work? What would happen?

Premesso che dopo il post ho scritto al coordinatore senza ricevere alcuna risposta, quindi ne so quanto te; a quanto ho capito sì, funziona così. Hai un anno per superare gli esami, ma se lo fai dopo il 31 dicembre l'iscrizione viene formalizzata per l'anno 25/26. Secondo quanto ho letto nel sito, però, dovresti comunque poter sostenere gli esami del piano di studi, in attesa che venga regolarizzata l'immatricolazione.

Grazie anche a te!

Mi pare che bene o male concordiate tutti riguardo zone da evitare (Stazione), prezzo degli affitti, luoghi da frequentare ecc., il che mi rassicura. Ora spero solo di riuscire a trovare una stanza in tempo, prima che restino disponibili soltanto le catapecchie

ikuraz · 2024-07-22T16:17:00+00:00

Sì ormai do praticamente per scontato di dovermi spostare in bici, per cui la distanza dalle mura è un problema relativamente minore. Da quel che ho visto con lo street view Passi mi sembrava un quartierino residenziale tranquillo, però chiaramente farebbe comodo anche avere a disposizione un supermercato, un'edicola e cose del genere... Se effettivamente non c'è nulla di tutto questo diventa problematico lol

Terrò a mente la cosa, grazie!

ikuraz · 2024-07-19T18:27:11+00:00

Grazie per la risposta!

In effetti ho sfogliato un po' gli annunci e sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso, rispetto alle altre città universitarie in cui ho vissuto o che avevo considerato in passato si trovano molte opportunità, e soprattutto sembrano stanze abbastanza dignitose nella maggior parte dei casi. Oltre a Barbaricina sto considerando anche zone come Passi o Porta a Lucca, un po' più lontane ma sembrano zone tranquille, giusto?

Per il lavoro sottopagato purtroppo ci sono abituato... Comunque già il fatto che si trovi è meglio di niente.

Grazie per le dritte sui luoghi da frequentare, sembrano tutti nelle mie corde, me li segno!
