Re: Game Refuses to Install

Hi @iluminatethesky,

Just thought I'd update here in case anyone else comes across this strange issue I have had. I spoke with Playstation and they guided me through using the PS4 Safe Mode Startup settings to try a few things there. I did try a few actually:

- Rebuild Database (didn't work)

- Restore Default Settings (didn't work)

- Initialize PS4 (didn't work - but sadly I now need to obvs re-download EVERYTHING rip)

I then noticed that the first time I entered the Store Library after Initializing (formatting the PS4) this time, the PvZ game showed the download option. Then, after I connected my storage hardrive again, it went back to the original issue. I always set my hardrive as 'Install Location' so that made me believe the game is stuck in an endless corrupt loop trying to download to the drive. I did not realize this at first because I just always started the PS4 up with it plugged in, even through the Safe Mode options.

Long story short, I turned my PS4 off, unplugged the hardrive, then started it up again. Low and behold I can now download PvZ to my Playstation. Once it finished I'm pretty sure I can just plug my hardrive back in with no worries. If it somehow fails when I do that, I'll be back to update. If I am not back, it worked :D

Hope this may help someone in the future, but same time I hope no one has this issue.

Thanks for everything.

Nic
