Masamune Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 For anyone having problems with this I found an interesting topic on Gamefaqs.com http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/691087-playstation-4/67859447 Step 1) Delete the game you want to install DLC for from your HDD along with everything else including saves etc (backup to a usb or the cloud)Step 2) https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-us/download/list and log inStep 3) Under the download list find your DLC you want to install, select it and make sure your PS4 is on, it will start the downloadStep 4) The download will finish and the installation will fail (This is okay) LEAVE THIS FAILED INSTALL ON YOUR DOWNLOAD LIST!Step 5) Re-install the game, go back to the install list in notifications and select the failed install, it will successfully installStep 6) Boot game and do update (if there is an update,i think almost all games have a day 1 update) For some reason the queue process won't work if the game is installed on your system already, I wasted 3 days wondering why it wasn't working, that's something sony needs to fix.

Dragon-Archon Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Why do you have to delete the game and save files? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 For some reason the queue won't download if the game's installed an the PS4,it must be a glitch on Sony's part, or it's just for COD:Ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goro Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So you have to delete and re-install the entire 33GB games just to download DLC, that's sound like a lot of work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks, let's hope Sony will sort it out and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that bad the install only takes about 30 secs, and it's only if you want to RE-download DLC, if your getting it from the PS store it should work fine.

MatCauthon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm having an issue with the Sound Shapes DLC. Everytime I try to dl it from the online store, I get an error on my PS4. I tried the above method, but the DLC simply will not download.... keep getting an error. However, I was able to redownload the main game from the store to my PS4.

Tragedy15 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Glad to see I'm not the only one who felt like an idiot for not being able to get the DLC re-downloaded or even messing it up in the first place. Cheers for helping out anyone else who might have had this problem with their PS4 DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BexterTK Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 That's good to know but that'd suck if you were far in say the campaign or something. All that time into it gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryumoau Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 What is with Sony always going backwards whenever they make a new device. First it was the pain in the butt Save data management on Vita, where you couldn't manually access the save data seperate from the game if you bought digitally. Now this convulted handling of dlc and updates for games on ps4. Why not keep things simple like ps3 had it, with Saves and dlc neatly put in their own menus on the XMB.

ChickenExotic Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I was able to download by going into my library out shows what you have downloaded through PSN mine worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sept-sept Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It is awkward that all 3 systems now have their own different way to do this indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSHIRT64 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 If you check your library, it will show everything that you have downloaded from the PSN. Library replaces the download list on the PS Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
