Seems every update I see for ps5 games has the same long ass copying after an update has been downloaded.
Cold War 300mb update took me less than 10 Seconds to download and nearly 10 minutes to ‘copy’

Pretty cool right?

Ps5 games don't do the copying process. Ps4 games played on the ps5 still do

 

[SlimySnake]

I think those are BC games.

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

I won't sit here and say anyone lied about anything. Yeah, the copy process after a patch still exists on PS5. I don't know why, maybe one of the more knowledgeable users can fill me/us in as to why PlayStation 4/5 handles updates like this. It is faster than it was on PS4, but it still takes a little while.

Frankly, I am more focused on the long wait for internal expansion bay to be enabled, and lack of functionality added to the OS so far (or even just lack of announcements of when to expect new features).

Again, not saying anyone lied, or anyone is lying, just wish we had a clearer roadmap from Sony themselves.

 

[Loope]

Maybe it is only for older titles.

 

[FastOrc]

I thought this tbh the other night downloaded cod cold war update. took ages to copy after it downloaded.

it does seem slow.

 

[Captain Toad]

BC games? Sigh...

Even then it does not make sense, when you have fast drive

 

[The_Mike]

people never learn. they fall for the hype and throw money away.

don't trust anything anyone says if they have something to sell you. especially if they look like this:

you honestly think someone like that is gonna tell you the truth?

And yet when the next generation starts everyone forgot about this and gets seduced by Cerny again because he is your friend which doesn't want your money.

He could never lie to us. Only Spencer.

I can't stop laughing at this.

 

[xion4360]

ummm PS5 native games do still go through the copying process, though its not as slow.

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

Unless I am tripping balls and just hallucinating, I could have sworn I have seen the copying process happen with native PS5 games too. Maneater, Valhalla, and Godfall come to mind.

I don't think it is just a problem with BC games. The people saying "BC games only, sigh" might be misinformed in this case.

I'm almost certain it still happens with PS5 native games.

 

[Eliciel]

Most probably he lied about everything, right? There is not even a PS5

[StreetsofBeige]

Where's the list of PC SSDs "that are coming out this fall" that are compat with PS5? Well, were almost in March.

Only thing people know is a rumoured summer date from a Bloomberg article.

"Wanna see my SSD?"

No, it has to do with the packaging and how the diff is applied, not the speed of the drive.

 

[M1chl]

Well but the HW should -theocratically- be able to crunch though all those data really fast. I hope there isn't in OS some if statement, that if it's BC game it's going to copy files max 50MB/s that would be shame.

If expect ps5 specific versions to not have this shit

 

[ethomaz]

You should try some PS5 game... what you described doesn’t happen.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Did you read my op. Cold War is a ps5 game and does it

 

[Captain Toad]

Most probably he lied about everything, right? There is not even a PS5

Looking at every retail outlet on Earth, there isn't.

 

[Esca]

Are you sure you have the ps5 version installed since you get the ps4 version as well

 

[fersnake]

omg ppl wont listen

 

[FastOrc]

mine is the ps5 version of cod cold war, took about 10 minutes to copy.

 

[skit_data]

All is well... relax... release yourself..... from yourself....

Let's me think about it for a second. There is a side who has promised loading would haven't been more an issue, the other let to intend to have built a monster hardware, a substained 12 TF beast, spreads communications about "there will be always a difference" between the two, Sony caught off the guard and so on, but, in the end (as predictable), it offers more or less the same perfomance of the concurrency, not only, the first wave of multiplat underperforms even, in some way. What fanbase should be more pissed off? Mmmm.

 

[Skifi28]

I've seen it on PS5 games, but it was ultra fast, like a few seconds of "copying". Can't say about Cold War though as I don't have it.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Are you sure you have the ps5 version installed since you get the ps4 version as well

Come on... yes I have the correct version installed.

FIFA 21 ps5 version did the copying thing for me. Very annoying.

Are you pretending Sony magically will fix to you the ass slower HDD data management of the crossgen titles?

anyway on my pro it happens very rarely to me lately. I'm starting to think it's not hardware relative but more a shitty server traffic issue. I usually play when there is less traffic and I haven't such copy loading screen from awhile.

 

[M1chl]

FIFA 21 ps5 version did the copying thing for me. Very annoying.

That's it? You have a single game with such issue and you open a thread to blame Sony to have lied all the time?

.

 

[THE DUCK]

Maybe it has something to do with Activision cod being ridiculous oversized horribly packed monsters. Still, Sony does like to lie lately......

 

[Entroyp]

Have you experienced how CoD CW updates? Yea, pretty cool right?

That’s what Cerny was talking about. Can’t do that on last gen engines though.

 

[Shmunter]

Yeah, it’s bullshit. Apart from the inconvenience, it puts extra wear on the ssd copying and duplicating each patch. Not to mention needing gigs and gigs of free space available for it to do its song and dance.

 

[fart town usa]

Dog, can you picture Cerny lying? The guy seems like a Saint. I'm just assuming that the PS5 hasn't hit it's goals in regard to all the things it can do. Not a Sony apologist, just giving Cerny the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Edgelord79]

They are all truth benders. Every single one of them.

It's not matter to be a Saint. It's just ridiculous blame him about something which has nothing to do to what he promised.

 

[DarkestHour]

Someone from Sony being a fibber to sell products to ignorant end-users? Say it ain't so!
