Particle theme in black is great.

Black themes FRW

now sony we want a black flow theme

 

[Grinchy]

I hope they put the full OS download up on their system software update page. I kinda wanna reinstall the OS fresh for this one.

 

[Vashetti]

Yakuza should already use the Pro features right?

It's not Pro enabled.

 

[CLEEK]

You normally just highlight one and push the options button to get rid of all of them. Has that changed?

Yes, that option has been removed altogether. You have to go into each notification and wait for it to clear, making sure you don't accidentally press X and open the game/app. Maddening.

Go to the bottom to the "Perform a new installation of the system software" section

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Yakuza should already use the Pro features right?

Yakuza 6 will, Yakuza 0 came out before the PS4 Pro in Japan. It has some dips and tearing, which are elimated with the Pro boost.

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Rainbow Six Siege Terrorist Hunts now average over 80fps most of the time, never drops below 60 and no more screen tearing. Beast Mode doing work.

Why?

 

[gamerforever]

I don't think its a Pro Mode game?

 

[Rellik]

They've butchered the notification area. Don't like it at all.

 

[Nameless]

Dark Souls 2 is silky smooth, and traveling between bonfires is noticeably quicker. Loving Boost Mode already.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Bought a PS4 Slim a few weeks back.

FeelsUnboostedMan

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Why?

Some people prefer to install major updates fresh.I am one of them.Wont do it now though.My pro is quite clean atm.

 

[massucci]

Game has been mostly flawless for me in most areas, but running around in Novigrad has seen noticeable drops. Good to hear they'll be ironed out.



Good to hear!

Novigrad it's flawless on ps4 base too, after the last update. There is a video on DF boost test who proves it. Just the swamp had some (minor) fps issues.Now I'm testing Sleeping Dog and later Just Cause 3. Very curious about both.

 

[Blastoise]

Moved all my games to a external hard drive.

Backed up my save data and account info to a thumbdrive.

Installed a SSD in my Pro.

Restored my backup.

Plugged in my external, and everything works great!

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Hows bf4?I tried it last week and CQ was demanding.Also the AA man.

 

[farisr]

Oh man, the notifications menu.


Why.

They've butchered the notification area. Don't like it at all.

After all the numerous complaints about the notifications area throughout the beta, they went through with the updates for that anyways.. Man...

 

[Crumpo]

Novigrad it's flawless on ps4 base too, after the last update. There is a video on DF boost test who proves it. Just the swamp had some (minor) fps issues.Now I'm testing Sleeping Dog and later Just Cause 3. Very curious about both.

Both are apparently much improved. I held back playing through SD again because of boost mode.

 

[hirokazu]

If I'm putting stuff on external HDD, and then I transfer my internal HDD stuff to a new PS4 (Pro) later, can I just plug in the drive I'm currently using and go from there, or would it not recognise the data on it?

 

[massucci]

Ok Sleeping Dog seems pratically flawess in the crowded and bigger streets. A quick test but on base ps4 those areas was a nightmare there for my eyes between tearing and lower fps. What a relief. Now Just Cause 3.

Wow, the 4.50 update went up between the time I posted and the time you responded, lol. Before I posted that, I checked it out and it was only listing 4.07.

Why?

I just have a lot of old crap I don't mind clearing off of it and then just putting what I really want back on.

 

[Atolm]

Hows bf4?I tried it last week and CQ was demanding.Also the AA man.

BF4 has been shown to be one of the most improved. Dropped to 27 fps on base mode, drops to 58fps with boost in worst case scenarios.

 

[Alchemist]

New notification area truly is a mess. Hated it the beta and still hate it now.

Are there any advantages to using an external drive over an internal one? Wondering if I should reinsert my stock 1TB and go external.

 

[backbreaker65]

ShareFactory updated 2.50, you can now import videos and images via USB. Just one of the features, probably the biggest.

 

[Bishop89]

Particle theme in black is great.

yup its awesome

 

[YoRHa No.2 Type B]

How big is the update?

 

[Slixshot]

If I'm putting stuff on external HDD, and then I transfer my internal HDD stuff to a new PS4 (Pro) later, can I just plug in the drive I'm currently using and go from there, or would it not recognise the data on it?

I'd like to know this too. I have two ps4's. Can I install games to the external hdd and then just plug in and play to between the two?

 

[holygeesus]

I'd like to know this too. I have two ps4's. Can I install games to the external hdd and then just plug in and play to between the two?

I'm *pretty* sure someone tried that with the beta and it didn't work. I guess it ties it to one machine rather than one account.

 

[Bustanen]

Download speeds are greatly improved, now get almost 30MB/s when previously got max 15MB/s.

 

[Smo21]

Any word on if this update fixes the issue Stardew valley has on a pro? Apparently those are system based and not the game.

 

[Bishop89]

How big is the update?

340mb

 

[sweetvar26]

How big is the update?

Around 350MB I think, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

You don't.

They wrecked notifications with this update.

Why the hell would they do that? I don't understand the reasoning at all. I'm just never going to look at that list again. I hate clutter.

 

[Mascot]

Now Just Cause 3.

The best pure videogaming fun I've had for many a year. The physics are awesome, the explosions incredible.

 

[The007JiM]

For a Clean installation.

Is something besides savegames should i backup?

 

[outunderthestars]

Any word on if this update fixes the issue Stardew valley has on a pro? Apparently those are system based and not the game.

That is what I would like to know as well.

 

[Deku Tree]

How do I turn on Boost mode?

 

[silver.tongue]

Preetty sure my HDD fills the requirements to be used as external store but my ps4 keeps telling me the filesystem is not supported.

Can I somehow format it on my PC to make it work?

 

[magawolaz]

ShareFactory updated, you can now import videos and images via USB. Just one of the features, probably the biggest.

holy shit, this is the real megaton.

 

[clintar]

I'm *pretty* sure someone tried that with the beta and it didn't work. I guess it ties it to one machine rather than one account.

I remember hearing the opposite.

 

[VulpX]

How do I turn on Boost mode?

It's in the OP.

 

[thatJohann]

Where's the OT for this update?

 

[Deku Tree]

It's in the OP.

Yeah I looked and I didn't see the option. Maybe I missed it. I'll try again later.

 

[Necron]

How's Dark Souls 3 performing with boost mode?

 

[Slixshot]

Download speeds are greatly improved, now get almost 30MB/s when previously got max 15MB/s.

Oh shit! Really?!

 

[holygeesus]

I remember hearing the opposite.

I stand corrected.

I thought one of the beta users tried taking his external round to a friend's house and trying it on his system and it wouldn't work? Must be misremembering.

 

[Hentailover]

Love the new custom background feature. Now I can have Prisma Illya characters as wallpaper <3

 

[kriskrosbbk]

Download speeds are greatly improved, now get almost 30MB/s when previously got max 15MB/s.

New update placebo or?

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

How's Dark Souls 3 performing with boost mode?

This makes me curious. I'll rebuy the game again if it has good performance.

 

[MNC]

So given a complete lack of PS4, is there a distinct must-buy between ps4 pro and slim?
