- Thread starter ty_hot
- Start date
Enjoy your leaks then as this is going to be data-mined to hell and back.
I hope it's just focused on stability.
THe last month or so my console has gotten blue screens at least once per day when I'm at the Store.

I swear that I'm gonna be crazy mad if the menus on PS5 are lagging and if I need 5 seconds to see my friends list ^^
does it add stability support specifically for ladders in advance of Death Stranding's Nov release?
Man, it's so dangerous without stability. Thank you Sony.It's that time again.
Am I crazy in thinking the PS4 OS hasn't seen many significant updates since launch? The overall user experience seems basically untouched. Not sure if it's a bad thing though, I think it generally works great.
One wrinkle I see is when you've highlighted a game on the main menu, it shows you who else on your friend's list is playing. It looks like you should be able to go down and view/join a friend's session, but instead it takes you to the game's detail menu.

External storage?
The hold to submenu changing?
Different and more streaming options?
Being able to use any picture for your theme?
HDR on the base PS4?
Folders?
Quick menu options for games to up/download PS+ saves?
There are many I've forgotten that may be a bit less "important" but...
<3 thanks friend. So what were the big ones? I'm not talking about account/network-level stuff like being able to change my username. I mean significant changes to the PS4 system user experience.
The post above this one stated a bunch of the good ones. Some more are:
ShareFactory for clip editing
3D Bluray support
Share Play
Themes
USB media support
Rest mode suspend / resume - probably the biggest one
Events
Communities
"Now Playing" area to see what friends are playing
YouTube streaming support
Completely redesigned quick menu
And I was just messin' with ya when I said you were batshit insane. I meant it with love <3

So yeah. Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I wasn't talking about features like external storage or HDR. Folders and quick menus are the kinds of UI changes I mean, but they're pretty small changes overall. By comparison Xbox360 went from blades to NXE to Metro, each one was pretty much a ground-up rethink.
I'm not even criticizing Sony on this, I'm mostly fine with the PS4 UI. I'm just saying it's been surprisingly consistent since 2013.
Try using a static theme or wallpaper, Don't know if it's placebo but I always noticed when using dynamic themes especially the more heavy effect demanding one it's less smooth everywhere but a static wallpaper more smoother overall
I'll agree that they've kept the base look the same, no major redesign, but the additional things they've added have been so spread out it feels like they've been there forever. The library addition was a major change rather than the completely linear bar.
given your example, it's kind of a good thing. Sony hasn't ever made major shifts in their UIs on systems because they tend to just work. By contrast, MS made so many changes to the 360 it became silly and they got arguably worse each time (NXE, in particular, was pretty terrible, IMO). The One is playing it a bit safer by remaining mostly the same while adding new functions, but even with all of its changes and speedups, it's still rather clunky and slow.
There's some kind of glitch on 6.70 which my digital games were locked and the restore license function wouldn't work and some people on reddit is having the same issue, but the fix is to deactivate and reactivate your PS4, restart, and use restore license then it unlocked my games.
Is this a wide issue or did you resolve it? i have 2 PS4 I have not updated yet since seeing your post.
Yeah I resolved it using the instructions laid out, it's affecting some users according to Reddit
Yup, but only after having downloaded a new app (Prime Video). Had to deactivate it as primary PS4, then reactivate it (and possibly restoring the licenses inbetween, can't remember. I had to muck around for a bit in the system menu).
I did a couple days ago. You have to deactivate and deactivate your PS4. Refreshing your licences won't do anything.
Fucking annoying.
Some of my licences get locked if I've bought from another country, I had to go sign back into my Japanese account to get my M2 games working again. I didn't used to have to do that.
