PlayStation Vita owners had been unable to purchase any games or even download the titles they already own from the handheld device for the last two days. As reported by numerous Reddit users around the world, attempting to do so produced a variety of error messages. Over the last couple of hours, the issue seems to have been fixed.
Error ?NP-2245-3? was the most common error players were encountering. This stated the Vita ?Could not connect to the PlayStation Network within the time limit.? This bug had affected many players several years ago, but the workaround found back then did not work this time. Other players had managed to find a workaround for the US and Canada stores. This involved logging in to the PlayStation Store on mobile phone and using old store links. Unfortunately this didn?t appear to work for any stores outside of these two regions.
