A proxy is like a gateway to the internet most commonly found on a corporate network. One Reddit user explains how this can help improve your download speeds:.
By getting a computer on your local network to do some of the heavy lifting, it may be possible to increase your download speed. This is especially true for early PlayStation 4 models, which have notoriously flaky network adapters. Hold the Options key and click on the Network icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Keep in mind that your PS4 will need to use this proxy to access the internet. The DNS servers you use determine which servers are resolved when you enter a web address.
Some have theories that your choice of DNS servers affect which servers your console uses for downloads. The best way to do this is to change your DNS servers on your router, which will affect all devices on your network. When was the last time you tested your internet speed? If your internet speed is slow to begin with, nothing you do to your PS4 is going to improve things. Test your connection using a laptop or desktop computer by going to Speedtest.

Should i replace the whole blu ray drive? This error is occuring with a digital game and only with that specific game, i can download and play any other game so im confused as to the root of my problem.
Now play it and check whether it causes the same problem or not. I wanted to install the game shadow of war again after I had removed it from my ps4 a while ago but now that the game has been installed again I cannot start the application and I get a message that the disc is dirty or damaged while there is no scratch or dirt on the disc. I removed the game and downloaded it again had no effect, I also started my ps4 in safe mode, and restore database unfortunately without success.
Apparently the game was not uninstalled correctly the first time, and this what causes the whole issue. I am afraid that you need to reinitialize PS4 in order to be able to play the game.
I downloaded an update for call of duty black ops 4 and right after the update the system updated the software to the most recent version as well, the first time clicking on the game after the updates, the system loaded the first screen and it showed that the update downloaded. However, about seconds into the screen it brought the message,. My question was that should I back up all of my data for the application to the online storage and then reinstall the game?
Or is there anything else I could do that would save the time and having to back-up and reinstall everything to try to fix? To whom reads this and tries to help if possible, thank you for your time to help me come to a conclusion on what to do for this problem. This issue usually happens due to the incompatibility of the game update with the current version of PS4 system software.
OR because the improper installation of the game update. If the reason is the first, you need to initialize PS4 and update it to the latest version, then install that game and its update. Just store the game saves on an external storage device or to the cloud storage provided by PSN, then do what you described already.
You should have always taken a backup copy of the whole PS4 hard drive in case of emergency. Next time think about backing up PS4 data in a regular basis, this will save you lots of efforts in the future. It was the second one thankfully. When the update was mid installing, it also started installing a system update as well as the games update.
All the data on our system already is synchronized to upload a backup copy of everything to the cloud.

Worked like a charm and got my little sibling to stop freaking out lol.

I just can play my games if i click on em as soon as i put in the disk and cannot play them after suspending the game.
There is no way that my ps4 let me resume my suspended games without giving me this error. This problem also comes when i wanna put in a blue-ray movie or dvd.
I always need to start it asap after puting in the disk. Then it works. What am i suppose to do? I am scared that my ps4 is gonna die someday. Does this problem occur when you play downloaded games, or games installed on the external hard drive?
Or is it just the disc-based games? Hey I really need help with this! If you already have and you still have this error, the second attempt is to format the internal hard drive of PS4. In many cases, the hard drive is the reason for that error.

But the thing is i bought it back in and back then i had no problems. Everything was running smooth, but then when i got the platinum trophy i deleted the game from my playstation. Fast foward to i wanted to play the game again and when my playstation wanted to download the game it already faced problems. Suddenly my playstation made weird noises whilst downloading the game, and then suddenly it just stopped, telling me that it cant download this game for what ever reason.
I tried a second time and it happened again and then the third time it succesfully downloaded the game. I also waited to it was fully installed and then play the game.
Now that i press x wanting to start the game, this error pops up randomly — sometimes it goes into the game and sometimes it doesnt. Even worse, when i do access the game, all my game data is gone and i can only play offline mode, and when i press to play online or the campaign mode it says that it still needs to complete installing the game data which doesnt make sense since i know its fully installed.
I dont know if there is some kind of relation to the error but it REALLY sucks — i just want this to be fixed And yeah sorry i know this is kind of a more specific issue, and i have to ask help at another website, but if there were someone here that knew if there is some kind of relation to the ps error.
Just let me understand one thing. Can you please try to guess where did that noise come from? Also, does this happen only with that game, yet other games work fine? If this is your case, the game Disc is corrupted. I know this, my game disc is clean mostly. And I checked the other discs that work. And you say that the game disc is corrupted, when it looks clean.

While the problem was more widespread at launch, it still crops up for a small portion of users and is more likely to be an issue if your console was manufactured between late and early As Sony outlined in the aforementioned troubleshooting guide, the blinking blue light could be indicative of several hardware or software issues.
That said, there are several potential solutions you can try. If you do manage to isolate an issue with the PS4 hardware, contact PlayStation customer support , or take your console directly to an official Sony retail store , as they can sometimes provide on-site repairs or replacements. The issue is tied to overheating problems as outlined in the PS4 user guide and confirmed by Sony, possibly a result of a fan malfunction.
Some users have reported the issue within minutes of powering up the console for the first time, however. Although the reasoning for the bent component is unknown, it effectively renders the port incompatible since the bent piece can no longer properly connect with the HDMI cord. If neither of the potential solutions below solves the problem, try contacting Sony.
