Alright finally getting to update. The answer I found was that if I turned off my PS4's connection to the Internet that the game would launch. I then Created a Save file and then quit. After restarting my Ps4 I reconnected it to the internet and once again the started up. Since then I have had zero problems. I hope that this helps some of you.

Nope, i downloaded the game first and started it up. I even played for 15 min. After that i downloaded and installed the extra's. After that i couldn't start the game anymore.... :-)

That's because you began playing when the fast play version of the game completed its download (after about 5.4gb). You have to keep the update file from downloading until the full 45gb version has completed it's download. You'll have to delete the entire file then start the download over. Once you begin the download go into notifications>downloads and pause the update file (I paused the deluxe content as well). After 5.4gb the fast play version will install to your PS and allow you to begin playing. If you open it up to begin playing the update download will start again on its own and you may have to wipe it and start over. I'd suggest waiting for the entire 45gb download to complete before ever opening the game. Once that is done, go back and resume the download of the 1.02 patch. If you follow those steps it will work.
- Wow, thx! I'm now waiting until the game is fully downloaded. I have a feeling that it will work :-) Thx for the info!
Great! At the start of the new year 2023 something was amiss with the DA servers I guess - the game cannot handle this, so after the first 'Options' button hit at startup, the screen just goes dark. Shutting the internet connection down is apparently something the startup menu CAN handle. Saved me a lot of progress (only have the main game installled, add-ons didn''t fit)
