15 Gig update is too large.
- Thread starter Grizzer
- Start date
It seems to be the norm with all games these days.
Have you considered satellite internet for downloads and then your slower link (lower latency) to actually play the game?
Im on the same situation, was halfway downloading 1.06 then 1.07 came and reset the download, now got another 15gb am out of data and cant play. Might just give up with elite now.
fwiw i live rural highlands with 4g, no unlimited options available, landline internet is a whopping 0.42mbs and satellite internet is rubbish, we got rid of it.

as I recall you can download updates to a data stick and transfer it to your PS4? Get a buddy to download it for ya.
You cannot download updates for ps4 to a stick and transfer them
You are very wrong. You could always since the PS3 download FIRMWARE updates to a USB drive and plug it into the console to install the update. You cannot download game patches to a USB drive though.
15Gb lol, the last update I had for GTA V was 74Gb!!!
If you were on pc I'd suggest getting a friend with a fully updated game to simply copy his entire install folder to a USB stick and post it, sadly I'm all out of ideas for ps4.. short of physically moving your ps4 to somewhere with fast internet (friend/relatives house??) and downloading the patch there.

just realized i cant play untill i delete a few games ether. i made 14g worth of room by deleting all the little games, and thought i would have enough, but no, the download still wouldent start. i thought i had a bug going, since i managed to play the night after the main update. i guess the bigger portion of that update happened a few hours after i played XD
looks like i wont be back untill i get bored of something else. x.x

Hi
Which was the ops question in the first place, yes we know firmware updates can be done that way but not game updates. But thanks for the heads up[where is it][where is it]

You "might just give up on console gaming now." I'm baffled by the number of posters who seem oblivious to the way the PS4 works. I get huge updates for almost all my games, and 15 GB is on the low side.
Toss your PS4 in a travel bag, go visit the library in the nearest connected town, and download the update there. I've had crappy Internet before and that's what I did (visited a friend with fiber). Blaming Frontier for your crappy Internet is mind-boggling. If the power goes out, are you going to blame them for making a game that requires too much electricity?
And for the love of Nemo, you people on hotspots with download limits, turn off auto-updates!
ps - if you're not blaming Frontier (the tone of these remarks is hard to read), then you can nerf my post to just the friendly advice parts

Would you not need to tuck your TV under your arm too? I’ve found my PS4 to be quite redundant without one.
Though my connection is dial up, I have unlimited usage. The only problem is, the newer and newer the games become, the bigger and bigger the file becomes. Hense one needs faster and faster connection speeds to keep up. Eventually ones internet speed will become insuficent and one will not be able to play even the lowest demanding video games. I mean, my Commador still works, but any game played on it must be from the mid 70's to 80's. I still have my library of games and should I choose, play them. But just like one can not play old video games on a modern device, eventually the device will not play modern games.
The other side of the street where I live, has access to fiber optics, though the majority of people living there can not afford it. The line is in, but it's main purpose was to feed a higher class barrio, farther down the line. On my side of the street, only a dial up connection is available. Though the lag times between FDev and Sony and or Mobius is slower for me. I can usually play all day (8 hours) with out any disconects. And then if I can't play, generally no one anywhere can play becasue it's the server. Or it just the device that farts and thus a simple reboot and it game on again.
I have to admit, I was reluctent to buy this game becasue of the mandated on line thing, which apparently only applies to those in open. Well I'm in solo 90 percent of the time, so even though I paid for the membership, I'm not utilizing it to it's full potential. But that's my choice.
Even though they are both automobiles, I can't blame GM for the difference in performance between my Cadilac and Corvette. Though I could pay some engineer to modify my Cadi to match my Vette. If I have my Vette engineered, it separates them again. Yes using hot spot technology is a cool thing, but it was never designed to be utilized by the video game industry. But some people grow up believeing that the world rotates around them. Most often referred to as SJW's. LOL

Haha, yes, I forget that most people play on a TV. I play on a 22" ultra-thin gaming monitor, which makes it easy to transport. When I bring it to a friend's house or even to work (during off hours), I use their TV / monitor. I'm not sure how a library would feel about this. Then again:

Thanks for the advise. I will bring the console into town and up date there. I don't want to misunderstood. I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out that I was perfectly happy with the game before the update.
But again, thanks for the solution. That's what I came here for.
Cheers,
Grizz

Considering all the bugs I'm experiencing in this update, I'm with you! I wish we could roll back to 2.3 until FDev finishes this beta they forced on us. Just think - you get to go through all this hassle to downgrade your game, LOL. Or is it COL?
I've only experience one bug since the update and it's a minor bug that's for a new feature..
ditto - I have not experience the bugs Old duck has been complaining about. So it looks again like experience is individual. I find that very interesting but then I know nothing about PS4 software and how or why certain people are experiencing problems when others are not.
It seems people with the PS4 Pro have most of the problems.
