Reality vs Adventure Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I can't use network features on the ps4 because it keeps telling me to update the 8.00, which I keep canceling and deleting. I had to turn off network to charge controller so it would automatically update the 8.00. Anyone else having this problem not being able to sign back in w/o having to update it?

So it would **NOT** automatically update 8.00. Don't know how I made that typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Anyone download the new update yet? I'm just sitting here waiting and can't login to the network anymore since I haven't downloaded the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just sitting here waiting and can't login to the network anymore since I haven't downloaded the update. It turns out my PS4 downloaded the update before I had a chance to stop it and there are definitely issues with friends lists and loading of the PS4's indigenous apps like TV and Video, PS Now and The PSN store. They work, but rarely load properly the first time. I've always hated the way that the PS4 (and other modern devices) hold features hostage the way they do unless you have the latest updates. I know it's frustrating, but to have the features be faulty and temperamental has got to be better than not being able to access them at all. My advice would be to just let the machine download the update and hope Sony fixes this soon. EDIT: Just an example. Got a spam message as I'm sure most people do, tried to load the offending profile to block them and after several minutes of loading, this is what I got...
