Ps4 error has occurred when downloading game

This can happen with any game on your device or related download. Next choose easy. After following the Onscreen directions go ahead and Test the Internet Connection. If all is well it should check everything and Pass.

If it fails run through the setup again and you should be good. Switch back to WiFi connection which you were probably using already. Now when you go back to Notifications and look at downloads you should see that your connection is working just fine and your Games or updates should now be working. Sometimes the issue is with the Your PS4 Software being out of date and as a result nothing will update and work as it should. This is what worked for me.

Go to Settings,Account Management,Account Information and you should get a notice about an update being available in cases where your device is running older software. You should get the same effect if you check for a System update manually and then update.

After updating in which your PS4 will reboot at least once and still being on a Cabled Internet connection you should now go back to notifications and notice that your update are now downloading for your games and not stuck. Do you mean. PS4 Game Won't Install by jeffbgoofy.

Now, look carefully after you turn on PS4, does Error CE take even longer time than before to appear, or nothing changes? If it does take longer, it probably means you have overheating issue with PS4. Now, if this has not fixed the error and you still seeing that annoying message, try the other solutions.

Some gamers confirmed that disabling recently added mods helped them repair this error code. While this solution might not work for all users, it is worth trying it out.

It has been reported by some users that changing the video output settings from Automatic to p would fix this problem. Other resolutions may work fine as well. So, try all of them and see what suits you best. By default, the PlayStation 4 will automatically manage video output settings, but if you want to use a specific video resolution:.

As the official fix suggests, if you have recently changed the stock hard drive of PS4 then started seeing Error CE , try to install the original hard drive and see whether this fix the error or not. The hard drive failure is a common incident that every savvy must have encountered.

It happens due to varied reasons, especially the presence of bad sectors that hinder the hard drive to operate properly. Check out this article to learn more about PS4 hard drive failure and how to repair it. The PS4 internal hard drive might be working fine and flawlessly, but there is a sort of power shortage in your PS4 that prevents the hard drive to run properly.

Sometimes rebuilding the PS4 database can resolve this problem and fix that error. To reset PS4 to factory settings, you have to perform PS4 initialization. This feature can resolve so many issues related to the performance of PS4.

So, every PS4 user must know how to do it the right way. Just in case. You should back up any data you want to keep, such as images and video, to an external device or to the cloud. For PS4 error CE , you need to choose the full initialization. In fact, this suggestion needs somewhat a savvy to carry out. If absolutely none of the solutions listed and described above were enough to get rid of error code CE in your case, the cause of the issue might not be simply something you can fix on your own.

That being the case, if trying to fix this problem on your own has turned out to be a bust, I advise that you use PlayStation Support and see what the professionals have to say about it.

There are several methods to fix Error CE, including reinstalling the particular game that causes the error, updating it, update the PS4 system software, and more..

This results in a conflict between the game and the system itself, therefore it halts and stops working. Hi, i recently upgrade my ps4 hdd to 1tb seagate barracuda then when I was reinstalling the fw update 5. The original hdd is already gone. Hope u can help me to reinstall fw and get back to life my PS4. Thanks for this addition. Never tried it to be honest, but may it help someone overcome this problem. Yes, PC gaming is much better when to comes to error resolving.

I think, though, you need to individually reinstall all your games on the PS4. This eventually might work for you. Will be interesting to see what Sony do with the ps5 to be honest but im expecting much more of the same really. Yes, indeed. Actually, the real power of PS4 stems from its huge online community which is, unarguably, the biggest game community on the internet.

Otherwise, I would prefer for sure to play games on PC. It still has the original storage. It seems to be happening only on Detroit: becoming human game at the moment. I am going to try some of the other update steps listed. It will anger my household if I need to redownload it. Just closing the application, removing the disk, than shutting the ps4 down waiting around 10 minutes worked for me.

Thanks for telling us about your experience that may help someone in this regard. Much appreciated. I have tried everything that you said like restarting, checking for updates and initializing the ps4 and nothing seemed to work. Ok, this is probably an issue related to the RAM memory. You need to take your console to a technician for a fix. Red dead 2 crashes every time I open my in game mail or start poker.

And yes it is on my external hard drive. And repeat. I fix it then a few minutes in the game same thing. Does it happen only in games installed on the external hard drive? What about those on the internal HDD? Any issue? This is the first time I face such an issue. You better contact PS4 support for help. So far, this only happens to me when playing Battlefield V. After reading your post, I unplugged my PS4 vs just restarting.

This has happened 3 times in the last week or so, and seemingly at random. Finger crossed. If it happens with only one game, the game is the problem, not your PS4. What you have to do is to initialize PS4, update it to latest version, and install that particular game only, update it, then finally test it. Uninstalled the game and reinstalled. Hopefully it works? My system was just purchased a week ago. So I tried full format on my hard drive and then re installing system software through USB.

I have no idea what to do at this point. Literally nothing that anyone has told me has worked. Its starting to look like they just gave me a messed up hard drive to begin with but if it was that, why would it have done it on my old ps4 and then the new one right when I got it? Really lost. Need help desperately. Been 3 months with no signs of resolving the issue. Tell me first: Do you play your games on an external hard drive? And if so, what about games installed on the internal hard drive?

Do you face the same problem with them? Or it just starts when PS4 starts up? Try also to run some applications, will you get the same error? Nothing else. And yeah it happened on my old ps4 and so I got rid of it and literally the same day I got a new one and it has the same exact problem from day 1. Ok, now I can tell you exactly where the problem is. The hard drive is innocent. Here, you either say both consoles were defective very rare to happen , or that the monitor you connect your PS4 to is defective.

Have you used the same monitor for both PS4? If yes, you need to try connecting the PS4 to another monitor and see what happens.

I will try to use a new one and let you know how it goes. Ok, I am anxious to know what will happen. If that resolves the problem, please come back and confirm it so that may others benefit from your experience. So I finally tried to hooky ps4 up to a new TV and the same thing happened. Froze my game up. And the TV is fairly new. Ok, just let me verify your situation. Now, have you connect your older PS4 to that new TV?

Does the same happen also? And does this happen right after you turn PS4 or just after a while? Try to change the HDMI cable for example, probably this is the reason.

A couple of games have crashed on me. It is not at all frequently however. It does not happen with every single game, but I have received this error code before.

Should I be concerned about my internal hard drive at all? Yes, if the problem is as you described, then yes, most probably it is the PS4 hard drive. Please on PS4 hard drive failure and how to work around it. Hi, I m having this issue only on Fallout 76, and always when I try to log in after the game stared. I ve tried other online games and they work just fine.. That game is either corrupted or not fully compatible with the installed version of PS4 system software.

What you can do in this regard is to first rebuild PS4 database. If the problem persists, re-install that game. If nothing works, you have to initialize PS4, as there will apparently be a conflict occurring between the game files and PS4 system.

I fully initialized my ps4 pro. Took me a few hours, so now I only installed this game and it stayed the same. Already sent an email to Sony, they said they will respond in 24h. Just wanted to see if u can give me some input, or some options. I had like 10 games installed, never happened. Have you updated to the latest version of PS4 system software before installing that game? There apparently a file conflict occurring between the game and the version of PS4 system software you have.

On the other hand, maybe the game conflicts with the newest system software. So, you have to try two things: install the game on PS4 before updating the system software. All updates are automatically updated, I have the latest system update 6. The game has the latest update too. And why I dont have this issue with other games. Keep the money in your wallet. One of the reasons for such a case is that the game was not installed properly.

Konami sent me an inquiry right now but already alerted me that it may take a while or not even respond. Your case is very weird, and I never faced something like it before. If it is possible to install the game on another PS4 to see if it works or not, this will make you SURE where the problem is. Anyway, if you ever solve this problem, can you please come back here and tell us about it?

This will help others who seek a fix for a similar issue. You case is a bit different. Your PS4 hard drive is apparently defective. Please refer to this article for more info. Will that be any different? I know I then need to install the software from an USB pen, but will that be helpful in any way? If you have tried all methods, including soft initialization, yet nothing worked out, you have to try this one. But before full initializing PS4, you better full format the hard drive on a PC, just in case there are bad sectors or other performance issues with the hard drive.

The full format will eliminate all that and restore the original performance of the hard drive. Hoping they send me a new download of the game since nothing works with the one I got. You can wait for your digital copy and see if this will work for you.

A technician has reinstall system software with full initialization. After all, if you only experience that problem with that particular game, it is the game itself, nothing else.
