Ps4 Patch Install times

[Kewitt]

It's because the PS4 updater now verify files in the download process to prevent corruption. The old system didn't do that.

Let's hope they release the download for the expansion on PS4 well in advance like they did for the previous two patches. But I agree, these smaller patches are rediculous. There has been several instances now where I have kept people waiting in game for 30 minutes because of this new copying system.

What's the big deal on waiting a bit? Isn't that you patch the game every day.

Wjats going to happen when there's a limited housing patch? Or when raids are back in ShB and you're late to raid because this abnormally long patch is holding you back?

Hell, disregarding that why should I wake up at 3am expecting to play the new content from patch, but instead have to wait 30-40 mins for copying? It's pretty ignorant to not see a problem with this.

Patches are handled before the servers goes live, and you get noticed by lodestone news about them ready to download. You can have it all patched before server go live.

If you want be one of the "first" to login the game at any cost, it is your problem choice.

In my experience on PC, the update is usually available for download and install an hour or more before maintenance ends. Is it not the same thing with PS4?

Yes patches are usually available to download and install before the servers are up and live on PS4.

Yes this is also what I understand. I actually thought if you leave it at rest mode the download will start. So I was expecting that it will download while I am at work. But lately I have to trigger the update. I may have the wrong info though.

Afaik, Downloading in Rest Mode only works for PS Plus users. Copying works for everyone though.

If the download has already started it will work for non PS+ users as well (tried it a few times with secondary account). What will non work is the daily check for updates that the console does for PS+ players.
