stuck on darth vader install minigame for ps4

I had to wipe my harddrive on ps4 yesterday owing from when i rebuilt my database in safe mode I could no longer load any games. When I redownloaded the recent patch on battlefront on ps4 and loaded the game, I could not advance past that stupid vader mini game. I have refreshed my licences numerous times as well as deleted and redownloaded the game again to see if it would work. I am still stuck on that frustrating minigame. I have nothing else on my hdd other than witcher 3 and fallout 4, so there are no files from the beta. I am beyond frustrated at this point and just want it fixed so I can enjoy the bespin content tomorrow. I am using a disc copy, and am not looking for xbox or pc fixes. Thanks

Hey @F3-N15HI Darth Vader minigame will only appear when the game is not fully updated/installed. Make sure that SWBF is. What you also can do is power cycle the console that will remove any old temp files that the console may have.

How to power cycle:

Switch off and unplug the power from your console.

Leave it unplugged for 30 seconds.

Plug the power back into the console.

Start it up.

Were you able to get the game going by installing it to the internal drive with the external drive detached? I've seen that fix this for others.

@EA_Blueberry I tried that for about 36 hours (i did the power cycling, rebuilding database, etc. basically repeated all the fixes suggested) and it didnt work. the longest the vader minigame ran was for about seven hours this time. The deluxe edition was on sale for 5$ for ps4 so i just bought that and it worked. i checked the disc and it looked good as new so maybe it was the disc drive that was messed up? but it ran and installed the nathan drake games today so idk what the problem was. changing to a digital copy seemed to solve my problem even though i did have to pay for it, which im fine with doing given the low price and also the inclusion of all the dlcs i didnt get to play

@tigbofm Just need to get them to remove it, just have an install loading screen. Or something that overrides whats going on. I enjoy killing rebel scum as the Dark Lord as much as the next guy, but I'm pretty sure I got the gist of it back in 2015...
