Uncharted 3 Multiplayer Fan Revival on PC and PS3: Windows Requirements and Cross-Play Questions

What the revival promises​

DSOGaming reports that the project restores multiplayer and co-op maps, characters, audio and text, alongside a lobby service. It also describes persistent online profiles storing loadouts, purchases, rank and statistics, plus Uncharted 4 characters and rifles unlocked through special events. Those features are reported claims; they should not be mistaken for independently tested functionality.

The linked GitHub repository does corroborate the broad announcement: its description explicitly advertises an Uncharted 3 community server on PC and a DNS-based connection method for PS3. However, that description alone does not establish server reliability, feature completeness or compatibility between the two platforms. PC and PS3 support should not be read as confirmed PC-to-PS3 cross-play.

The distinction matters. Bringing back a menu, restoring assets and operating dependable multiplayer are different milestones. Enthusiasm is welcome; a working matchmaking session is still the more persuasive benchmark.

Windows requirements: more than owning the game​

SuperMedo’s Windows-port README provides a useful clarification beyond the announcement: users need their own decrypted game dump, not simply a disc or proof of purchase. The project says it includes no game files and identifies collection versions including CUSA02343 and CUSA02320.

Its documented requirements are:

• 64-bit Windows 10 version 1903 or later, or Windows 11
• Vulkan 1.3-capable graphics hardware, with a current driver
• Approximately 8 GB of available memory, counting RAM and the page file

These are requirements for the underlying Windows port, not a guarantee that every multiplayer feature works on every supported configuration.

DSOGaming specifically names CUSA02320 with update 1.02 for the multiplayer release. That narrower requirement should not be expanded into a promise that every regional collection dump is interchangeable.

There is also a small but useful updater distinction. The Windows-port README says the launcher checks for updates and offers an update action while preserving saves and settings—not that opening it necessarily installs an update automatically. Its documented troubleshooting facilities include a live Log page and user\last_run.log.

PS3 access has an address discrepancy​

The PS3 route is presented as separate from the Windows installation. DSOGaming says console owners can connect without a PC, and the linked project repository advertises 89.168.33.77 as its DNS address.

However, the community-maintained PS3 World directory lists a different Uncharted 3 address: 38.60.209.38. That discrepancy does not prove either service is invalid; it means the two listings should not be treated as interchangeable setup instructions. Neither listing, by itself, establishes why the addresses differ.

The sensible takeaway: this is an interesting Windows gaming and preservation development, but approach it as a community project with version-specific dependencies and unresolved verification questions—not a frictionless commercial relaunch. Confirm the release’s own requirements before preparing game data, and do not assume the PC and PS3 routes share matchmaking, progression or players merely because both appear in the announcement.
