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%) ...

There is unfortunately not much we can do if the general install is taking longer as usual. You can try to reset your console or to delete cancel and resume the install but that could mean that you need to install the game from the scratch. again. The general installation process should not take hours though.
To reset your console or to rebuild your console data base, you need to enter the PS4 safety mode. To restart or update the system as well as rebuilding the database could do the trick:
Starting the PS4 in Safe Mode
- Turn off the PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the front panel. The power indicator will blink for a few moments before turning off.
- Once the PlayStation 4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you initially press, and another 7 seconds later.
- Connect the DualShock 4 controller with the provided USB cable and press the PS button on the controller.
Safe Mode Options
The following options are available in Safe Mode:
- Restart System - Ends Safe Mode and restarts the PlayStation 4 normally.
- Update System Software - Allows the PlayStation 4 to update the system software via Internet, USB Drive, or Disc.
- Rebuild Database - Scans the drive and creates a new database of all content.
This operation may take a long time depending on the type and number of data items.

The advice Basti at EA is giving is completely incorrect.
The issue is that the game downloads 6gb of data allowing the game to load and the first episode of single player to be played.
A further 38gb of data is then downloaded.
Restarting the PS4 in safe mode and rebuilding the database will do nothing to speed up the rate at which the data is downloading. I think the point has been missed by Basti. The game is downloading incredibly slowly. Not installing incredibly slowly.
IN CONCLUSION THE ADVICE BASTI AT EA HAS PROVIDED IS COMPLETELY INCORRECT
Click options on the Battlefield Hardline icon and select "information" this shows the amount data downloaded in the "download status section"
I have a 10mb connection. The Playstation Network test gives this speed. 1GB of data takes approx 15 minutes on my PC.
The whole game should download in approximately 11 hours.
I am on day 3 of downloading, I am at 24gb/46gb of data!!!! For me this is going to be a 1 WEEK LONG DOWNLOAD!
