Hardline PS4 (in game install too slow)
Dear all, My installation is going way too slow, I've downloaded the game and the update (pre-ordered it) on ps4, but now it's downloading for cca 5hrs already, yet its at 50%. (Full game 50%) ...
Forum Discussion
So it was making at least some kind of a progress (from 50-51%) but it takes still a really long to finish. I don't wan't to recommend to delete all the game data, this could fix the issue but you would have to run through the whole download and possibly still slow installation over again.
Have you already tried to create another PSN profile in order to try to install the game with a different profile?

Here is my experience with PS4 from last night.
Midnight I launched it. Started installing... very slowly. 3 hours pass and it's at 50%. I go to sleep. Wake up 7.5 hours after originally starting the install. It was finished. I estimated it took about 5 hours because how how I have the sleep settings on PS4.
I launched the game before work and it appeared fully installed.
I thought about it but did not check the network traffic for the PS4. I assumed it was downloading stuff since it took so long.
25mbit down connection with a stock slow PS4 harddrive. Preloaded from Sunday.
- I started mine yesterday, played the prologue. It was at 24-26% put my ps4 in stand bye. I checked it this morning it was only at 42%. So in 7-8 hours only 20%. My internet speeds and such are fine, never had an issue.
- It's really dumb I preorder it and took like 9 maybe 10 hours to install. Then it's telling me I got to install it again
same thing happening to me. Started yesterday .. wen t bed at 27% and woke up this morning to found it at 35%
i am from the netherlands
- Yass game is really slow restarted and still does not work what can I do. Also I have the latest update
- This would have to be the worst download experience ever!!!! I'm sitting on 36% after 17hrs!!!! And don't give any more "have you checked your connection" responses - NOTHING has ever taken so long to download or been so poor to perform. I've paid top dollar for this game and this waiting is utterly *!! COD never had this problem.......
I think I may have found a solution to this.
So when you go into BH and you see the painstakingly long FULL GAME download, press and hold the PS button and close the BH application.
Then go into Network and test your connection. It should come through all good.
Then go back to the BH icon but don't start. Instead press options and jump into INFORMATION.
You should now see the Download Status which shows a MB value of the download status.
What doing the test connection is, it seems to reset the install and make the process MUCH MUCH FASTER.
Here's how much.
Before testing - 1MB every 4-5 seconds.
After - 6-7 MB every second - which is normal for my connection.
Do let me know if this works.
