If you're seeing huge delays in 'copying' then consider booting your PS4 into safe mode and rebuilding your database.

PS4: Was "copying" always a thing?
- Thread starter Pankratous
- Start date
Which games are you seeing this with and are they digital? Because some people have never seen this, it's probably dependant on a bunch of things and it looks like getting your games digital instead of physical could be one of them.
Does this mean it performs what I used to know as a defrag?
I went and played Driveclub, actually completed a few (long) career races lol
Lmao! My brother and I had 3 or 4 splitscreen COD online multiplayer matches during that time lol.
Hmm, hadn't really thought about it but it happens with both. Happened a lot with Destiny 2 (digital) and most recently GT Sport (physical).
I'm going to try the database rebuild endlessflood mentioned. Hopefully that helps.
This happened with me and it's on disc. Also with Spidey as well.
It's beyond frustrating to come home from working 12-14 hour shifts. Not have a chance to play anything for sometimes over a week or more, have to download patch/update, which can take sometimes 20+ minutes and then wait for the update to copy for over 45 minutes. It legit makes me not even want to turn on my PS4 sometimes when I know there is an update.
You can minimize this with some preparation. Leave your PS4 in rest mode when you leave in the morning if you're going to play in the evening. Or when you get home, start up the game you're going to play the first thing you do and leave it running in the background while you do other stuff.
Alright, thanks for the info. GT Sport seems to be one of the main offenders with this.
This attempt against humanity needs to stop. Got a few seconds 250mb Monster Hunter update and now I'm close to 10 minutes waiting for this copying bs and it's only at 32%
I hate this shit every time Rocket League has an update. Even though my system should download them in rest mode, it doesn't. So I'll be like "Yeah man I'm getting on now. Oh, a 35mb patch? I'll be there in 40 minutes then."
60% that'd be 30% every 10 minu
Well, it's been half an hour for me right now, 250mb update... copying at 96%
Excited to finally play the game...

Why the fuck does it need to copy anyway? If it's already downloaded then why isn't it fucking ready?
Its absolutely ridiculous and annoying. At this pace I will only be able to have CoD MW2 as the only game on my console
I had to copy a Saga Frontier save file from one memory card to the other today as it wasn't reading for whatever reason. It didn't take too long though.
