Sony PS3 Error 33 on Call of Duty 4 (COD4): are people still getting it?

Sony PS3 Error 33 on Call of Duty 4

Our last update on the Sony PS3 Error 33 problem on Call of Duty 4 was when I was with Tiscali and they still had the P2P problems, which stopped COD4 gamers connecting to each other, well at certain times. As I have moved to BT and have no Error 33 messages or P2P gaming problems anymore, is this the same for everyone.

So has the Error 33 problem been fixed or are Tiscali gamers still getting issues when playing COD4 online…Let us know with a comment.

    I was playing Call of Duty 4 on my ps 3 this evening and I got booted from a match (everyone may have been). an error box popped up saying “dobj for xmodel ‘body_up_usmc_woodland_sniper’ has more than 128 bones (see console for details)”……. I am not very literate when it comes to electronics and I was wondering if someone could tell me what this means. Thanks.
