SingStar

[DaveBhoy]

Since downloading & installing the latest patch for Singstar, I seem to be having "issues" if I try and play Singstar with the Buzz adaptor still plugged in to my hub.  It becomes quite jerky browsing the menus, and pretty much unplayable in the songs themselves, with the pointer jumping forward a chunk at a time, instead of nice and smooth.  

It is 100% the Buzz adaptor as unplugging it removes the problem, but up until the recent patch its been fine (I don't tend to unplug any USB stuff from the PS3).

Anyone else seen this? Could it be to do with the upcoming wireless mics and the dongle they'll use ??

I have been having terrible trouble with the store since the update... sometimes it just wont let me log in for up to 2 or 3 days, othertimes it lets me buy the tracks, but then wont download... really annoying, dont know if it has anything to do with the update, but my PS3 was perfect for 18 months and all the trouble in only in the last 3 or 4 weeks...

I DO have the exact same problem but not with the Buzz adaptor - my Playstation Eye is acting up.

When plugged in, the game becomes jerky as described above. Unplugging the camera makes the game smooth again BUT spoils the fun. And as the poster above I only noticed it after the latest update.

unplug them

Is your Eye connected through a hub ? Wondering if its that - cos my Eye is fine when directly connected to the PS3. I'll try putting it back on my hub and see...

Yes, it is connected through a powered hub.  But never had any issues with that before.

Also, to the guy above us. Wow, thanks for the advice Mr. Smartest. Can I employ you to take my pictures while I sing so I can unplug my Playstation Eye?

I did NOT pay for it so that I can unplug it and NOT USE IT every time I want to play a game that supports that peripheral.

If it was something that doesn't have anything to do with Singstar I would be more than happy to unplug it. But the PSEye is used in game. And it adds a lot to the game's appeal, especially during parties. I don't want to unplug it. I want the issue to be fixed. Geez.

im having the same problem guys, stuttery when ive got the camera and/or the buzz dongle connected.....fine without, they are both connected through a powered usb hub!!! not happy about this, can we get confirmation that it IS  a problem?

[DaveBhoy]

I can create the same fault if I put my PSEye into the hub so seems to be a hub+accessory issue !

See its already been noted on the Facebook singstar page - will keep checking there.

I can confirm that plugging the Eye straight into the console fixes the problem. But hubs did work before the patch just fine, so it would be awesome if that could get fixed.
