PS4 Help Thread?

Postby KG3 » Sat Feb 04, 2017 9:00 pm

Hi guys im currently downloading COD infinite Warfare and COD MW remastered and my PS4 is estimating 55 hours for both which is a long time and I'd rather not keep my new console on for that long as I fear it may break down.

Anyway does anyone know if it's safe to turn of the PS4 mid download? As I'm worried something may get corrupted or or something like that.

And once I turn it back on will it resume where it left of or will I have to start the download process again?

I don't have a PS4 so I can't give you a good answer, but an easy fix to your problem would be to download one game, give the console a break, and then download the other.

usually the newer gen consoles have an option/power mode where you can turn it off and still download

Mine did that. Pause and resume works.

Keep an eye on it though because you'll need to do it a couple of times when the time goes back up. Should only take around 45 minutes

Are you using wifi?

Connect your ps4 directly to your modem with an ethernet cable if possible.

It makes no difference. The problem is PSN. Loads of people had the same problem when COD was released.

Seems like I'm having audio issues now, took me a while a realise it but I've got no commentary on my Fifa crowd noise and menu music works fine though also my Netflix has no vocal audio and just like Fifa I can only hear the background noise in this instance it's the music from the show or office background talk.

Has anyone had any similar issues or know how to fix thanks?

weird

the only audio bug that I sometime have is that when I launch the ps4 and I have no audio at all.
Reboot and the audio is back
