No. You can pre-load it when that becomes available though. Usually games will have a 200 mb or so stub to download and then your automatic downloads will take care of it when the full fat download/day 1 patches become available. For example, I preloaded Psychonauts 2 back in June and it downloaded all 27 GB or whatever by launch day. Same thing if you buy a game. Once the stub to preload becomes available it will auto update from there on.
The pre-load works like an update, so I don't think so. You need update auto-downloads set up for it to work
Yeah, I pre-ordered Lost in Random earlier and it automatically queued a ~260mb download. I don't usually pre-order games, but I do make an exception for physical releases. I'm assuming once the pre-load goes live, it'll show under the updates tab.
That's exactly what I want. I don't want it start automatically.
If you overload the download queue it does tend to get a bit temperamental. Had this happen sometimes when like 15 updates were pending. But it shouldn't redownload stuff you deleted
Works very well since launch for me (even achievements), only one time I found it was closed instead of being in QR (maybe an update ?).
Yes, they're readily available. Why do you ask?
Hmmm that's strange. I also noticed that the list of games suspended in my QR state disappeared completely, but then reaper armed the next day. I guess it's either my machine or QR still going through teething problems.
With the console set to instant-on I find that to be the normal operation of the console. If you set it to power saving it generates much less heat, but it takes like 20 or so seconds to boot, so not a big deal. PlayStation consoles to me definitely have the better power management when in standby.
Yeah, it occurred me that it could be updating something. I thought it wasn't because I don't have recent games installed, so they wouldn't be updated. But then I figured it could be updating apps.
And don't worry, in standby, if it ends up getting too warm, it will spin the fan for a few minutes and turn it off again.
I had the same issue because I had left a controller or something on top of the console while it was off, then at once stage I smelled burning plastic. So I don't leave anything on top of it now when powered off.
This happened with me and turning the mic volume all the way down in the game overlay fixed the problem.
Thanks for the replies, I was just concerned it could've been a faulty unit, but it's good to know it's normal behavior!
For me it's headset dependent. My Bose gets unbearable noise, while my Sony set gets barely nothing at all. I have feeling that the jack in the standard controller is terrible. Mine feels very loose and wobly. I can alter / provoke the noise with Bose by pressing the face buttons.
Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to understand. It makes sense; hopefully these games get Quick Resume enabled via an update or manual verification and this will stop being an issue soon enough.
Could've sworn Death's Door got QR enabled some time after launch. Psychonauts 2 worked out of the gate.
If you don't want headache, Series S is a safe bet. Series X......
Maybe it did, wasn't there when I played it in late July.
3 days in? That's a replacement from retailer situation for me. Not only will it be faster but you should get a brand new unit in replacement. I'd only consider sending it to MS at this stage if the retailer said they couldn't replace it for a month or two due to a lack of stock.
