so, I wanted to boot up BF1 after BFV got a bit stale for me. After setting to download overnight on rest mode, I boot it up and on the main menu I see "installing multiplayer 0%". I give it an hour but no progress was made. So I decided to try and play Singleplayer, but apparently the content for that wasn't downloaded either. When I backed out of that however, I got hit with a black screen or just the background image with no menu.
After a quick google search I discovered I wasn't the only one to encounter this, but never really discovered a good solution outside of deleting the application and rebuilding the database. As of now, I have deleted the application and set it to download again. In the hopes of the problem resolving itself.
PS4 is fairly old, but current on system software updates and the game is updated to latest version [1.27]
I have done some of the suggested troubleshooting:
- closing and restarting application
- eject and re-inserting the disc - PS4 spools up repeatedly and ultimately fails to read disc on occasion
- restarting the PS4
- Making 200 GB of extra hard drive space
I don't know what else I can do. I'll update when the download is complete [in about 8 hours, 1-1.3MB/s is painful]
