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%) ...

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
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.
