Has it been fixed? Was still getting the cannot save notices for Wolfenstein and Transistor after restarting post-update.

Hmm, well I hadn't tried it out myself yet, so maybe its not completely fixed. Or maybe it will also require some kind of update for each game that a developer has to issue. Surely not though since that would be a mess.

Strange thing happened to my PS4 when trying to update. It downloaded and when i went through the install procedure and it told me it would update after restarting like usual. But when the PS4 turned off it wouldn't turn back on again. I left it unplugged for about an hour and when i plugged it back in it started fine. Is my PS4 dodgy or something that happens sometimes?

Anyone have the direct link to the firmware so I can use a flash drive to install?

Long story short my ps4 won't let me install anything on the "new" hard drive I put in but 1.71+. The hard drive had 1.7 on it before.

So I need to find the download and I cant. the one I downloaded yesterday was 1.7.

Can't find a download link yet, 1.71 looks to have only been released in incremental format so far, not a full download.

 

Sorry if this is a daft question, but can you not put the old hard drive back in and update to 1.71 first?

The old hard drive is on 1.71. I was forced to update to connect to psn to upload my saves. I really didn't want to but had no external devices to backup to. I didn't realize it would cause me more pain later.

So I upgraded, connected to psn uploaded saves and turned off ps4. Put my old upgraded(1TB) hard drive I got back from Sony in. It was wiped so I had the firmware on a flash drive. It says failed to use the update file.

I then went into safe mode manually, reinitialized my PS4 and tried it again. Now it told me I can only use update files that are 1.71 or later.

This is frustrating because I'm assuming there's on board storage that gets altered during every system update. I wish this wasn't the case because I should've just been able to put a hard drive in with whatever system software and then be forced to upgrade like normal.

Now it looks like I don't have my ps4 until the update goes live online.

Update is officially Published on Sony. Looks like I got someones attention when I tweeted Playstation and YOSP about being told to wait 2-3 days without my PS4 after waiting 2-3 weeks without it.

I can honestly say i haven't been too pleased with sony's service, but at least I'm back online. Also for the lost time, I'm not getting my PSN back or a 7 day or 30 day card. Microsoft at least sends you a month of live.

Sorry for the delay in replying - but as you prob know by now, it has been completely fixed. No more cannot upload notices, which is great.

Sonys PS4 updates are for the most part a complete joke. The only update of substance was 1.7 and even that only had lots of very minor changes. Still massive core features they announced nearly a year and a half ago now are still missing.

I get the feeling Sony keep pushing out these 'stability' updates just to keep pace with Microsoft and their monthly releases, difference being they actually add things users will notice each time.

I've no issues with the updates. I'm happy with my ps4 as it is. A powerhouse games console.

TV and media and all the rest can take a hike.

 

I'm not interested in TV etc but I would like to see features such as 'controller share' and suspend mode, which they announced nearly a year and a half ago.

 

Or even features that were on the PS3 such as proper friend notifications.

 

These mysterious micro updates where they don't even tell you what has changed are a complete waste of time.

They have got to be yanking our chains now :/  What are they even doing there? Did they just fire their software team after launch? 

 

Not even friend notifications? There was talk that that feature was done prior to 1.70 and was dropped for an unknown reason :/

    • Anthropic introduces Claude Tag, a new AI teammate for Slack by Fiza Ali Anthropic has announced Claude Tag, a new feature that lets teams work with Claude directly inside Slack. The idea is simple: once Claude is added to a Slack workspace and given access to selected channels, users can tag @Claude in conversations and assign tasks. Claude can then work through those requests using connected tools and data sources before posting its results back into a Slack thread. What makes Claude Tag different from a typical chatbot is that it's designed to operate as a shared assistant for an entire team rather than a single user. Everyone in a channel interacts with the same Claude instance. This allows the team members to see ongoing work and continue tasks started by others. Furthermore, Anthropic says the AI can build context over time by following conversations in channels where it has permission to operate. This means users don't have to repeatedly provide the same background information for every request. The system is also designed for asynchronous work. Instead of waiting for responses in a chat window, users can assign a task to Claude and return later once the work is complete. Anthropic says Claude can break larger requests into multiple steps and use connected tools to complete them. Moreover, the system can also schedule follow-up tasks and continue working on projects over extended periods. Another feature allows Claude to keep the users updated and follow up on unresolved tasks when its optional "ambient" mode is enabled. The company says the tool is already being used internally for software development, data analysis, support workflows, and debugging. According to Anthropic, around 65% of its product team's code is now generated through its internal version of Claude Tag. For organisations concerned about security, administrators can control which channels, tools, and data sources Claude can access. Separate Claude instances can also be configured for different departments, helping keep information isolated between teams. Administrators can also monitor activity logs, review completed tasks, and set spending limits at both the organisation and channel level. Claude Tag is now available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers and runs on Claude Opus 4.8 that was announced this May. The feature will also replace Anthropic's existing Claude in Slack application, with current users able to migrate within a 30-day migration window. Lastly, eligible customers will receive introductory credits to help teams evaluate the new experience.
