Anyone got pics of this? I just wish they would go back to the old notifications menu, the new one sucks.

No way. The new one is way better imo

Anybody else getting this problem? On Dark Souls 3 when i play the game from the very beginning (new game). The initial prerendered cutscenes, freezes every 10 secs or so for at least a second or two. Its like its buffering and this only happens when i play it of the external drive (which is a Seagate 4TB ST4000LM016 2.5" drive, which benchmarks faster than my Samsung Spinpoint M9T ST2000LM003 drive) but not when i move the game back to the internal drive, then the freezing goes away. I think its the USB 3.0 throughput, i know its supposed to be faster than the base PS4's internal SATAII connection but i think there's some funny business going on here. I also get the same freezing/staling on the OS when scrolling through all my games. I hope this is fixed. Anybody else experience this or can test either (or both) on their system?

I'm playing it installed on a 4 TB WD mypassport external, and it's running fine.

So it's probably not a USB issue.

 

[Slayven]

Any word on release? Probably around Horizons?

 

[Trailblazer34]

Damn Sony, give me a date! I wanna see the receipts!

I'm gonna need it for that game or start deleting shit.

Whenever I turn my console on from rest mode it says the external drive was improperly removed and makes me repair it. I have the supply power to USB ports during rest mode setting on. Hopefully this is fixed for the final release.

Hopefully you actually post this in the beta forum and not a random game discussion board.

I don't have this problem (Vantec NexStar 3.1 enclosure, bus powered). Have you checked the beta forums to see if others are having the same problem, maybe with the same enclosure/external HDD?

Well the game runs fine but the prerendered cutscene and home screen doesnt.

Getting out of rest mode requires restarting the TV on PS4 PRO:

Not for me, but i have other problem with the rest mode: if you download something and do the sequence :download, rest mode, back in the system and than you go back to rest mode the download doesn't work anymore and you have to restart the console or do shut down and power on again.

Seems boost mode option is gone in the new update? Or am I blind?

whaaaaat

 

[carpediemdp]

Nope. It's still there under System.

 

[Catdaddy]

Wow ... good news, I can keep GTA5 installed

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Dammit this update needs to come out SOON!

I am so ready to get games installed on this recently purchased 4TB HDD and 480GB SSD.

you are blind confirmed.

 

[icespide]

I can't even imagine what GAF would do if boost mode was removed.

 

[zedge]

lol

Getting my prescription checked asap.

 

[Bishop89]

The wait for this is excruciating

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Im sure it's been answered but any idea roughly when this is due to drop?

 

[Corky]

It's been like 3 weeks since beta launch, I've heard the window from beta to launch in terms of ps4 os firmware is about ~4 weeks? Perhaps this one, given its potential implications, will be in beta for longer...

I just started DS3 again yesterday but I want that boost mode mang...come on.

yes its beta every 2 weeks and currently beta 3 but I'm sure next week will be released officially

im using usb power external as well and it said that to me a couple times, so i reported it to sony in the beta forum. But it hasnt done it to me since that first time :/

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Are there any hidden features not mentioned or added after the updates?

 

[Jinroh]

Does anyone else's external drive seem to spin constantly when in rest mode?

Yeah it's gotten better and has been happening less frequently since I posted that

 

[Toki767]

Just checked and yep, it's still spinning.

 

[TheKingOfPain]

Downloading Beta 4 right now.

 

[swnny]

Downloading Beta 4 right now.

Any change log or noticeable improvements?

 

[stryke]

Notification list still sucks

 

[Dropline]

Any change log or noticeable improvements?

I'm downloading it too. Didn't saw any changes in the log.

 

[Planet]

They didn't give any changelog from initial Beta 2 to Beta 3 either. Stupid move if you ask me, keeping testers in the dark...

 

[Goose_Se7en]

What's the point of a beta then?

 

[ManeKast]

I guess we just dive in to version 4? Stability!!!

 

[Planet]

What's the point of a beta then?

The point is, the real data is collected automatically. User feedback is welcome and will be mined, but the real testers still sit at Sony's headquarters, analysing data from remote test PS4s.

That said, with a changelog user feedback could still be improved.

 

[Matush]

Notification list still sucks

Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking merging all the notifications. Terrible idea.

 

[alexbull_uk]

Notification list still sucks

Yep. Seriously, what the hell is the new notification list meant to be? It's worse in literally every way.

 

[Gradly]

Before that I just went directly to check downloads, but now I have to scroll the whole things, maybe they want to force us to check the whole sections but in an indirect way lol

 

[TheKingOfPain]

Any change log or noticeable improvements?

Nope to both question.
And yes, notifications still suck.

 

[endlessflood]

They fixed the clock.

Also USB printers.

 

[Blastoise]

I can't update the beta. I'm still on 4.5 Beta 2.

Is it because I used a burner account?

 

[Mascot]

Yep. I think if you repeat the process you get the new update, but it's really not worth the hassle.

 

[Omnistalgic]

When is the official release of this updat eman? I wanna put some wallpapers up already.

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

When is the official release of this updat eman? I wanna put some wallpapers up already.

I predict end of the month.

 

[Bishop89]

they ever going to make vita compatible with ps4 besides remote play? lol

 

[ReitStuff]

Haven't been watching this too closely, but have people in the Beta been able to try 3D Blu-rays with PSVR? If so, what are the impressions?

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Beta 4 is up now and I don't know whether it fixed the issue I mentioned before or what it does add.

 

[fastest finger]

Yes. The image is a little soft, but the 3D is great. Nice and natural with no cross-talk and no flicker.
