Download version.

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!! Stupid power outage right in the middle of my ED download! This is Bill's fault, bashing deities left and right. Anyway, the download has picked up where it left off, but now I'm worried that PS4 won't perform the checksum validation until it's time to play the game, and then I'll get a "download corrupted" message and have do redownload this honking file all over again on my slow internet...

Does anyone know if PS4 validates pre-orders immediately after download or when the game is first run?

Yuk not good m8 :( I'd try and be around when the dl finishes as I think they verify the file once downloaded?

You can always delete the game from storage but I don't know if you can manually restart a pre download?

What on earth is your download speed and Digital games are validated right when you purchase it

Do you live in Mexico also, I'm 10 hours into the download and it says approx 15 more to go. Unless like you, the connection fails, then it's starts from the beginning and I'll have to wait an additional 25 hours. Unil then, I deceided to play a version of hitman where as one kills everybody. Yeah, it effects your score, but sure releives frustration.

If you bought it from SONY, it's in your library, you can download as often as you wish to your device. I don't know what the purpose of the cloud they offer is for. In one year since my birth into the video games rehelm. I've got scores of free games and a couple of paid for in my library. My only problem is, the download speed takes forever. Causing me to have to leave my ps4 on sometimes for days. At he present if it doesn't fail, my connection speed in regards to ED is 25 hours.
 
My Internet connection is unique. But it wasn't the Internet that failed, it was the power, so data was being written to the PS4 drive when the power went out. I'm hoping the bootup check detected any data corruption, and that once the game finishes downloading, the PS4 will perform a checksum today (vs Tuesday) in case the data was indeed corrupted and needs downloading again. I want to play ASAP Tuesday!
 
Mine downloaded in about 10 minuets. It is locked and loaded and we are down to 48 hours or less (Depends on where you are in the world I guess). This has been a long journey for most of us on this thread. I want to thank several fans of this franchise on this form, for all their investigating and information gathering that they did for the last year. This is a great community of men and women and look forward to the future with all of you. Some of you I have friended and cannot wait to connect with you in the black. I look forward to friending even more of you as time goes on. We are about to embark on a great adventure that most of us when we were kids, did not even think something of this nature would be possible. Here's to 3303 Ladies and Gentlemen!
 
Total download time for Elite: less than 15 mins... Do you want me to download it for you and mail it to you?

In my case even if you lived in Europe and still utilize the pony express, it would be faster. Hell smoke signals are a faster way except you can't send files, they catch fire and burn up with uploading.

Got 3 Hours left on my download, its 10:30 PST here..... Dunno how much more I can take of this waiting :/ in the meantime I am going to pick up a cooling stand for my PS$ and a wireless keyboard that attaches to my DS4 Controller :) A nice anniversary gift from my wife :)
 
Just purchased the digital edition as it didn't look like I could get a physical copy early anywhere, ànd I was able to get hold of a €50 PSN card for €41,99 :D
 
Don't know if I'm doing something wrong . Its not showing in my downloads and only way i can check timer is to go to store page in psn store. I Don't Have the locked out logo on my homepage. In the UK

While on your PS4 dashboard, go to Library (Far right) and choose "Games".
The game will be there with a countdown timer. Click the timer and "check" the Auto-Download.

If all goes right, it will start to download and it will appear on your "Downloads"
