DARKB1KE Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) All these recent firmware upgrades have made the PS4 run extremely slow now. It takes so long just to do anything or navigate anything in the menu, simple things like loading up party chats, checking messages, etc. Anybody else?

TheYuriG Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 How much free space do you have on your PS4 atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalzar Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Weird I have like maybe 1Gb of free space yet mine has been running fine. What have you been trying to do on your PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKB1KE Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 How much free space do you have on your PS4 atm? Over 100Gigs or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Over 100Gigs or something. Hm, that's way more than you need to run it fine. You should try to do a database restore, something might have corrupted in your firmware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load menus, communities, my profile, trophies, messages, press home button and return to game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I click on the party chat thing on the main menu it'll go back and hover over the game i'm playing and freeze for a few seconds..

IntenseFATE98 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The UI was very laggy for me today, after like 3-4 restarts, it's working fine again. The Store still takes a while to load though and I'm sure my net is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukizm69 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 My console was the same way before the last firmware update, runs smooth as ever now. Like the above user, the PS Store takes a while to load for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar83x Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 It was for me, but since I reset my home Internet, it's been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predator086siren Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 same thing with the store, but the games run just fine at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The same thing has been happening with my day one vanilla PS4 since i installed the 4.00 software update. Things like loading the community menu via the top bar on the home screen, viewing my own profile and viewing someone else's profile and searching for players via the friends menu, but let's not forget about loading the PlayStation Store!

yellowwindow7 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 mine run smoothly so I don't know what is the problem. could be an Internet connection problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natsuu24 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Well, i know that is not a "ps4", but my ps3 have things like that today, like my friends dont show, trophys take hours to sync, so much errors accessing PS Store... Like i said, is not a ps4, but maybe is something with psn for some users ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKB1KE Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Overall the new system software keeps getting worse and worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AironicallyHuman Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) I've been getting 'please wait' / four face button loading icons a shitload when trying to access anything on my account like settings, update wall, profiles, friend list and PStore since the latest software updates. Worked fine before. Have to log in/out or network test to reset whatever the prob is. ...oh, and when trying to sync trophies it stays at 0%, then suddenly when I check back later it syncs. Used to do it instantly. When I first got the PS4 I was wowed over difference between PStore loading times and the like. Not so much now...

Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Mine has been a bit odd lately, going to the trophy menu and that may sometimes take a little bit to load. Like I was playing Super Star Wars with a mate last night and wanted to go look at the trophy for getting Han to shoot Greedo for a laugh and it took like 30 seconds to load into the game's list. Other things too, like the store not wanting to load up some times (happened since launch though, was a LOT worse in the day), the little info sections about games by pressing down not loading at all after a while, and so on. Little stuff like this happens every now and then anyway and always has, but it has been a little more prevalent lately, now that I think about it. And no, it's not the internet, I had great internet for ages, swapped out for a cheap option a few months ago, lasted 3 months and broke the contract (long story) and went back to great internet. It's great everywhere, including on the PS4, where it will download 10gb of stuff in the space of half an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Haven't experienced this with mine. The store sometimes takes a while to load, and I'll often have to back out and click on it again to actually get it to load, but this is something I've had since launch. It seemed to disappear for about a year, but started cropping up again recently. The same thing also happens when I try to view my profile sometimes now as well. That's about the extent of any slowness I have with my PS4. Maybe try doing a hard reset, and if that doesn't work, a database restore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Both my PS4 Pro and launch day PS4 have been working exactly as expected with the latest firmware update. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I get some issues with it loading slow at start up (probably because my hard drive is getting pretty full) but otherwise it runs fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It has been odd lately. I too have notice loading a couple seconds longer. Maybe Sony is working on something again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
