Oct 27, It needs a certain percentage of free space to not lose performance. Oct 27, 8, Canada. What Massa said. PS3 is similar, but I believe it requires a smaller amount of free space?
I know I need 30GB's free at all times. But why does it differ per game? This is regardless of how big the update is. PS3 is different. It requires double the space of what you need to download and that's across all games and updates. Oct 26, 10, It checks the game that that's being updated. So think you need double that. And if PS4 is reserving space, why show it as available space. It's obvious it's not since you can't use it. I can't even download Resogun and that game isn't even big.

No reason that a mb dowload should require twenty gbs. Increasing storage would fix it, but it's still a ridiculous overkill for that. Anyway you try to slice it, the way Sony sets up their storage systems is a major annoyance for people with smaller drives.
Why does FreeBSD see my disk as smaller than the manufacturer says it is? Disk manufacturers calculate gigabytes as a billion bytes each, whereas FreeBSD calculates them as 1,,, bytes each. So OP is the problem, right? I mean, 20 damn GB for a MB update? That sounds wrong. Again I already have 44GB free. The download is just MB. It's not all that too. I have tried numerous amount of times to download it, restarting my PS4, rebuilding my database, clearing more storage, deleting and reinstalling the game.
And yet the only progress that has been made was that before now, it was stuck trying to download version 1. Digital-Daemon 5 years ago 2. No, you don't. Not for the way ps4 operates. You need usually around double the entire install space, so get it to about gb free and try again. Or buy a 2tb HDD like everyone else has :P. Foppe 5 years ago 3. Yeah, the PS4 requires more than twice the storage to download anything. Think of it downloading a zipped file that it later extracts instead of downloading the correct files directly into the correct folders.
We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. NinjaMan Topic Creator 5 years ago 4. So why is 83GB not enough space to make another copy of the game? Why do I need enough space as if I'm installing the full game?
Also I this doesn't seem to be a problem when patching or installing games on the Xbox One. What are they doing different that Sony can't replicate? Wonderment Member. Oct 27, 17, Yeah, this is a known with PS4.
I leave about open on my internal drive becuase of this, I've been burned before too. Oct 27, 6, I hate juggling games on my harddrive. I want to be able to spontaneously switch between games, and that is just impossible as it is now. It absolutely makes me buy less games than I would have otherwise. I have actively decided against most AAA titles because they're always huge.
The way it is now, installing a big title demands uninstalling too many smaller games for me to want to bother, and yes, the designated hd space is never enough. As it is now, I keep my entire PSVR catalogue installed fortunately many of these are smaller, as they're not big budget games , leaving room for one AAA game and my precious P.
It's ridiculous. Last edited: Dec 23, Gnorman Member. Jan 14, 2, I hate this. Unless I'm remembering wrong though the PS4 didn't do the 'copying' bit originally. It's a new 'feature'. Hieroph Member. Oct 28, 8, This is the one bad thing about how PS4 handles storage.
Just another reason why you should go for a 2T drive at least. MetalBoi Banned. Dec 21, 3, Same thing happened to me a week ago, ended up having to delete Nier and a few other games for a Battlefield One patch, and now I've got a bunch of gigs free. Oct 27, 10, Canada. It is easily the dumbest thing about the PS4 that still boogles me to this day why they implemented downloading patches this way.

Oct 27, 7, Man, that is really dumb. Something else that's dumb thatI ran into the last week that I've seen people complain about was I bought a digital copy of SFV, and because I had a disc copy installed I couldn't just play it right after I bought it.
It told me I needed to delete the physical copy of the install and download the digital version if I want to play it without having to use the disc. Topic Archived.

Boards PlayStation 4 I can't download updates? But I have 77GB of space left? AscendancyMM 6 years ago 1. I have What's the error code it's giving you? AscendancyMM Topic Creator 6 years ago 3. There's no error code. When I click it it says Retry, access storage or delete. What the fudge man. Try restarting your PS4. If that doesn't work delete the updates and download them one by one.
If both of those don't work, I'm not entirely sure what the problem is as I've never experienced anything like this.
