Well that's good to hear. Strange that they didn't mention it in yesterdays PS Blog post on LBP (although it Steven Isbell did mention it later in comment responses)
Downloading it now, but I don't think I'll be able to check it out for a few hours. Got class in a bit.

Can confirm that I still can't download the Gravity Rush pack. Says that I own it, but clicking it sends me to the store, which says that no content was found. In the UK, though, and our store updates later on today, so there's still hope.
I don't know if there was supposed to be, but there's no reference to the automatic backup function anywhere in the settings menu. No option to create or restore to a backup. Then again, maybe it only kicks in when your profile becomes corrupted.
EDIT: Just checked my LBP3 save data in the PS4 settings menu and I apparently have two user profiles now; one of them is still around 550mb, while the other is only 15mb. I assume that the second profile is the backup.

So will that backup be uploaded to psn automatically?

Should be if you have autoupload on, but I have to assume most people have it turned off for LBP due to the crazy size of the main profile.
I have it turned on but I don't have space for 500 mb to be uploaded so it just fails.

Yo fam, is this game ever gonna work online? It's literally unplayable between the crippling lag and the inability to connect to friends and load levels online.

I feel you, fam. Whenever I play it's crashing all over the place.
Is this after the patch that was supposed to improve online play? :S

Are you guys seeing this message when you are failing to connect to other users online?

I am really regretting buying this game for my 10-year old daughter. She simply refuses to play LBP 3 (this could be because she finds minecraft so much better!). Frustrating when she enjoyed the first two. Plus I bought it before all the huge discounts were available. Grrr

I know I got some sort of loading error (I think it was a level loading error or something) from one player's end when I tried to join somebody playing a level.

Yes. My friends and I all tried playing last night and we were all are on the latest version.
I don't remember what the error message said off the top of my head, but I wanted to say it was something like "failed to load level" or something like that. Nothing to do with profiles though. When we did get into a level together, the game had serious input delay (more than a second) that rendered the game basically unplayable.
It's just frustrating because I played the previous two games online pretty frequently. I know you guys are trying to get this up and running but I really can't even play online. I've lost my save data for this game once already and it's crashed more times than any game I own. Last night it crashed as it was loading into a level forcing me to do a hard reset on my PS4 and it had to reboot into safe mode. Very frustrating experience all around and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't incredibly disappointed with the game-- and I really enjoy this series.

I've experienced a fair amount of these on both platforms. It happens whenever I try to join friends, but when I retry after the initial failure it works.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
How is LBP3? It's on the flash sale for $24.
Is the community active? Are there any issues with the game? I've been burned a few times on glitchy AAA games lately. I enjoyed the other LBP games. Only one I haven't played is the Vita version.
edit: Yikes after just reading this page it seems like it's a technical mess. Ugh.

guys I have a question (don't know of its already been answered). Does DLC from the game of the year edition transfer over or do I have to buy them all? I haven't transfered my save yet but I was wondering if they do transfer since I have some created levels with the dlc the game of the year edition brought.
Game of the year edition of LBP1 or 2? Either way, they should carry over, unless you run into one of the dlcs that hasnt been fixed yet.
I need to get back into the game period...and check out community stuff along with just full on blitz my own design. It kinda sucks that LBP3 doesnt seem like (at least on GAF anyway) it has the same driving force as the first 2.
LBP1 GOTY edition. It brought Metal Gear Solid costumes and creator kit. Just checked and transferred my save but the costumes and kit say that I have to buy them.
Well, it appears MOST of my DLC is working (I can finally put my Sack Boy back together), including the old Naruko (Heavenly Sword) Best Buy pre-order bonus which didn't even work with LIttleBigPlanet Karting.
However, my Mass Effect and Metal Gear Solid Level packs aren't showing up as free in the store. WTF? My one and only uploaded level even has the paintenator (sp?).
I'm glad Sumo is continuing to patch the game; I feel they weren't given enough time on this project prior to shipping though.

Unfortunately, you will have to buy those packs. The metal gear dlc is tied the "game of the year edition" disc itself and not to your account. DLC only carries over if you buy it directly.
It's very frustrating, because if you make something in the "game of the year" edition of LBP1, and try to edit the same level in LBP2 or 3, you will be prompted to buy it. Your only option is to edit the level in the same game where the level was made or to cave in and buy the dlc.
LBP3 makes the situation worse when dlc isn't even compatible with it yet, making your existing lbp1 and 2 levels impossible to edit or update.
I guess they were worried about people sharing discs and giving out free dlc to everyone. They could have just bundled dlc codes with the game of the year editions, but I guess they didn't think that was a good idea for some reason.
Was it... nothing?

While this will not alleviate the DLC issues y'all are experiencing, here's more info regarding as to what's going on with them:

While I appreciate the update, I don't understand why this couldn't have been communicated two or so months ago.

I got the profile error, for the first time, a few weeks ago and it's kind of killed the game for me. I want to create more, but I'm now missing a lot of materials and objects, which is really off putting. I just can't be bothered completing and acing all of the story levels again.
Is there any way to get back all the unlockables without playing the game again? I'd happily download a completed save file from the internet as long as it won't affect my user created stuff. I still don't understand why collected objects don't save to your profile online in the same way as LBP 1 & 2 items.

As much as we'd have liked to get this info out to y'all earlier, there's about over 1000 product keys spread across all the PSN regions especially as they migrated from PS3 to PS4, so it has been a challenge and frustratingly so on all ends to get this working as smoothly as it should. Believe me, I'm waiting for my own purchased DLC to work as well.
We are looking at ways to alleviate the issue with people gaining their collected items back if they've experienced something like yourself. But at the moment, there is a user who has published levels that have pretty much all items from the story mode, so you won't have to worry about going through the story again: https://lbp.me/u/tophatattack/levels?p=1&l=12

Thanks donkey. I figured that was the case.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at his levels later. I did try searching for those kind of levels in-game the other day, but could only find ones which gave costumes as prizes.
Thanks donkey show. I hate to be whinging in here week in and week out about the DLC. It's just hard being a huge LBP fan and being unable to access both of my big projects from LBP2. I'd remove the offending DLC content, but it's really deeply integrated. The Monsters kit stuff is something like sound effects, tucked away in an emitter within an emitter. And in my other level, I've got a ton of cross-controller pack materials scattered around.
Still, I appreciate the information. Is there any word on fixing the few LBP1 & 2 items that are still missing? I'm not sure if there's more than just costume pieces, but I know the Sebastian outfit from LBP2 is unavailable after the unlock content process (I repeat the process after each patch), as well as some other items, like the winter hat with the bauble. Also missing the baseball helmet from LBP1. Probably some other things on top of those, but I haven't done a careful cross-referencing.
Oh dear, I think my profile is having issues. I just finished re-categorizing all of my costume bits, then returned to my pod and quit the game. I then started the game back up, only to discover that my character was dressed exactly as they had been the previous time I started the game, before all the re-categorizing. That didn't strike me as a good sign. So I opened the costume menu and... well, sure enough, all of the reorganizing I had done on 100+ items was gone.

Just sent your issues to the crew. We have also been investigating the missing items from LBP1&2 imports so we'll get word to you guys when that's alleviated in an upcoming patch. Also, drop me a PM with your PSN later on.
Regardless of the issues the game has right now, I've been finding it quite fun going into levels on the recently published list. It's interesting trying to work out the thought process behind the level and why the creator did what they did with it.
Recorded this earlier on today, for example. This one isn't particularly weird, just kinda funny to me.

I checked again today, and interestingly, the game did keep a costume that I had saved while organizing everything.
edit: Oh, and hey, looks like the Galahad costume was snuck out on Tuesday.
Well, maybe next week...
So a few days ago, I was trying to find stickers that were small and could be used to detail my sack-thing's head. It was hard going though, because there weren't many stickers at all that could be shrunk down to the point of viable usability considering the scale of your average sack-thing's facial features. Then I had the great idea to use the paint tool and take my own tiny stickers. However, in doing this I noticed a few issues. I was having trouble getting it to save stickers that were all-black or all near-black in color. In some instances, if I added a bit of color to what I had drawn out in black, then tried to save, it would only save the colored portion of the sticker. Kind of frustrating, given how much utility black has. Also, the "trigger affects opacity" setting only seems to function properly while the cursor is moving. If you try to lightly "dab" on some kind of color without moving the cursor, it's always solid, no matter how lightly you press the trigger.
edit:
That profile issue I mentioned earlier seems to have left me be for now. Maybe I can do some proper sorting now.
edit edit:
Okay, so... I started the game up again, and suddenly all the organization I did before is back, and I'm wearing a costume that my character was wearing 3 or 4 sessions ago. Hope this keeps. Think this could be a bug with the automatic backup?

Odd, we'll get that checked out with the paint tool. As for the automatic backup bit, that's been flagged already and should be handled in the upcoming patch.
Yeah, the Heavenly Sword and God of War minipacks seem to be available now. Unfortunately, the Monsters pack and Cross Controller packs are still not working properly. Monster pack still wants me to buy it (and maybe it'll work if I do buy it again) but I already bought it once. Cross controller pack isn't showing up anywhere. I haven't checked since the last patch, but I think the MGS pack still has an issue with prize bubbles not spawning properly in the first level. The second to last Muppets pack level has this issue where the contents of prize bubbles in the last section (which is a one-chance chase sequence) are very hard to make out. I can't tell what I've collected and what I haven't. I've played through it 15+ times and I'm still missing one prize.
I doubt it. Now in create mode, i get flooded with "so and so wants to join" requests.

Ah that's good to hear! Still working out all the other missing ones as well, so please let us know what is still not there.
Yeah, we're trying to get those issues regarding the prize bubbles sorted out as well.
On that note, Patch 1.06 is also coming later on this month which again addresses more stability issues with mulitplayer, profile issues, and others. We'll let you know more closer to release.
Aside from that, people have been making some pretty great stuff 4 months in now in LBP3. While you can find most of them on the Team Picks, I wanted to highlight a couple that stand out.
Treasure Hunter by Felkroth - Pretty sweet multiplayer top down RPG in the vein of a Diablo lite. Can level up, has multiple quests, multiple classes, pretty much everything you'd expect from a game from this genre.
Thunderfire by lordwarblade - A solid top down vertical SHMUP that's like 1942. Nice use of collectibells to purchase upgrades for your ship.
Afterglow by dakrrs - Well designed platformer that uses all the new characters. Great level art with simple, but effective level design.
The first two have trailers in their LBP.me links, so you can get a better idea of how they play.
And here's 10 more unique levels that were showcased on our youtube just recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YzI6TE_8Io

Depends, if you are just interested in the campaign and checking out other people's creations, you should be pretty safe.
It seems most of the bugs are in the creation mode, and the online multiplayer is still basically busted. There's a patch coming this month that should offer some more fixes for those.
