Support NeoGAF

[Withnail]

Have to login to update...

But please, enlighten everyone on how Sony is supposed to do it, Mr Network Administrator.

No I don't think you have to login to update. PSN accounts are completely optional but everyone gets system updates.

 

[Mr Moose]

I was thinking that a YouTube App would be included in this update ?

It's an app that is or will be available on the store.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Where the hell is my Destiny theme at yo.

PS store update later today.

 

[cripterion]

The store hasn't been updated yet. That's why.

Ok thanks. I figured everything was there since people are downloading the Youtube app.

 

[mocoworm]

Oh, for the love of...

People, the network is just stressed due to +10.000.000 PS4s turning on and downloading a 200 MB file at the same time. It's not a bloody bug.

Quit the FUD please.

If you have 10,000,000 consoles sold, you should have an infastructure that can support them ... with overhead to spare.

 

[The Wraith]

Yeah, it's coming with the store update today.

Ok cool.

 

[RageWaffles]

For those having PSN issues: try holding down the PS button, selecting "Log out", and then log back in/turn your controller back on. That worked for me, even after rebooting didn't. Everything ('cept Destiny) seems to be running perfectly now.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Will people stop saying it's just the fact PSN is getting hammered. It's got nothing to do with that. It's screwed my online up completely and I can't even log in.

I could log in but had to restart my Ps4 after initial restart and everything working seemingly ok

 

[BokehKing]

Oh god. System just had a hard crash and is now checking hard drive status on reboot. Please be OK.

Why would you want to be one of the first people to download something? Leads let's over eager people go first, see if it bricks systems, when the coast of clear then download

When typing with the virtual keyboard, the predictive text now offers capitalized versions of words if you type your first letter as a capital. Before it would only suggest lowercase versions.

GRAMMATON

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Just FYI, the YouTube app is up on the SCEJA stores(JP & HK). Downloading the JP version right now.

 

[Skux]

Notifications are better. They all go to the "new" tab where you can dismiss them all at once.

 

[coolasj19]

Nvm. Dumb Chrome Mobile glitch. I think...

 

[bigboss370]

i'm in NA East, still no problem with PS Store or anything since i installed the update. Fast and smooth as ever

 

[OraleeWey]

There's also a PS Vita update.

 

[madmackem]

store update.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Were any Europeans yet able to try Shareplay? Does it work good?

It worked great with Diablo 3. With my friend hosting I noticed zero artifacting and just a tiny bit of input lag but it still played great.

You can also switch between streaming quality settings in party options, settings are 'Standard' and 'High'.

 

[Goodacre0081]

holy shit. I scrolled through 350 people on my friends list and everything is instant now.

no more half empty lists

nobody makes networks like that. You design to allow for predicted demand, not 'everyone connecting at once +10%'

Honest to god, this is a big deal for me.

wait for the store to update

lol kay.

Anyway, Gold Theme is best theme, interface tweaks are great, library needs editing, everything is faster, everything is more stable, everything worked fine for me (Online, Music, Rest, ect). The servers are just getting slammed y'all. We're at the forefront of the spike that is every PS4 downloading the update at once. Chill. If it doesn't work, try again tomorrow. Or in an hour. Just don't freak out, you'll blow a gasket.

Lol.
Because a minority of console ownwers have some problems that get (hopefully) fixed, there shouldn't be updates for the console?

Also you can remove the "Sony" part, because many updates from a lot of companies lead to some issues.

Great, attack a guy for having concerns.

Okay, whatever moving on.

I've had issues in the past with Sony FW updates.
I have every right to be cautious.

Nobody is preventing you from updating your console.

 

[enanogrande]

Yes, press X on a download to pause.

Megaton.

 

[Cade]

Son of a bitch. The dumb novelty USB (shaped like a Christmas light) I was gonna test music with doesn't fit in the PS4 slots. Truly my day has been sour.

 

[mocoworm]

I doubt everyone is connecting at once... but if they were, the new consoles are made to get auto updates so you absolutely would have to plan for a situation where they are all getting the updates at the same time.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

If you have 10,000,000 consoles sold, you should have an infastructure that can support them ... with overhead to spare.

That's not really now how most companies do networking... Building up a huge overhead of server capacity which is only necessary once a month at most is really not economically sound, especially if the alternative is just slow service for an hour or two.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Hooooo dayum I have just realised I can now play Towerfall multiplayer online with a friend thanks to SharePlay! This update is going to be awesome. When PSN decides to work.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I could log in but had to restart my Ps4 after initial restart and everything working seemingly ok

I just tried to log in about thirty times on the trot and NOW I'm in. I just hope it stays this way.

Ok. I don't know what's happened but everything seems to be moving much faster. The online for LBP3 is SOOOO much faster. I'm happy again lol

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Honest to god, this is a big deal for me.

Yup.

 

[jmaine_ph]

Waiting on my 128gb flash drive to come in the mail. Might need a USB hub for ps4...any suggestions?

 

[Futaba]

Network seems a little unstable, understandable given how many people will be updating and/or testing out network heavy features like youtube uploading and game sharing.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

It worked great with Diablo 3. With my friend hosting I noticed zero artifacting and just a tiny bit of input lag but it still played great.

You can also switch between streaming quality settings in party options, settings are 'Standard' and 'High'.

Thats great. Can I ask how fast your internet connection is?

 

[Freewheelin']

So me and a friend are having problems with Shareplay. He says he can't connect to my region (he's in Germany, I'm in the UK) what gives :/

 

[Bold One]

Son of a bitch. The dumb novelty USB (shaped like a Christmas light) I was gonna test music with doesn't fit in the PS4 slots. Truly my day has been sour.

it really should support ext HDD

 

[On Demand]

Listen to this man.

 

[Revolutionary]

No, you don't. At least that's how it worked when PSN got hacked.

Something tells me they've changed their infrastructure around a bit since the hack. Call it a hunch..

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Nobody is preventing you from updating your console.

Your concern was misdirected, and a source of misinformation for other members. Thinking before you posted, or just reading the thread, would probably have made it obvious that your problems were simply the result of high network load.

 

[tahsutify]

After installing the update, I tried to launch a game, it crashed. Then I tried to turn it off but it didn't turn off, just blinking white. Never had a problem like that. Hopefully it is a one time thing.

 

[Jeseus]

only one word - Driveclub


sonys network this gen is pure shit and we are paying for it

 

[AmyS]

Where do I find that dedicated YouTube app ? It's not under apps in the PS Store.

 

[mrklaw]

I doubt everyone is connecting at once... but if they were, the new consoles are made to get auto updates so you absolutely would have to plan for a situation where they are all getting the updates at the same time.

yes they should - I assume they do, I thought most consoles in standby check for an update in the early hours of the morning, so time zones will naturally phase that across all users.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Thats great. Can I ask how fast your internet connection is?

30Mbps download, 5Mbps upload right now off speedtest.net.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Wonder if Sony has a bunch of themes lined up that had been waiting for this update.

We need an Uncharted 4 theme like they put out for 2 & 3's reveals.

 

[Daggoth]

Son of a bitch. The dumb novelty USB (shaped like a Christmas light) I was gonna test music with doesn't fit in the PS4 slots. Truly my day has been sour.

Pff, I can't get an actual logitech headset in there. Stupid design.

Update is nice, inability to reconnect to PSN is not. (NW-31201-7, Australia)

I didn't misdirect anyone.

I have no problems, because I no better than to just run out and download the latest FW update right away.

 

[iceatcs]

Not when it sell more than Sony expected, they expect pass 10m on Apirl 2015. It selling faster than Sony prepare for.

 

[Cade]

Yeah or just transfer over the network. Or anything.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

only one word - Driveclub

Did you read any of the threads on the Driveclub network problems? It is caused by Evolutions poor network code, not a lack of PSN servers.

reallllllllllllllllllllllly

 

[mrklaw]

only one word - Driveclub

only one word - Sony didn't make Driveclub's network infrastructure and probably isn't using PSN for their servers. That is all on evo.
