Are you talking about how screenshots are taken like half a second after you press the button?

If so, that is an issue on the original PS4 as well, and yes, it's very annoying.

Still seems slow to me in Beta 4. The notification is slow to pop up at least.

Just Cause 3 is one hell of a lot of fun with Best Mode enabled. Best £10 I ever spent.

The notification pops up way after the screenshot is taken. I've also turned that off.

Putting the share button functionality to single press for screenshots make them happen pretty much immediately from my experience.

Here's hoping they fix the slow ass share button on the Pro.

Agreed!

Wait, is this a thing on the pro?

Screenshot takes like 20 seconds sometimes.

 

[d9b]

Are you taking 1080p jpg or 4K png screenshots?

If it's 4K png, that stuff needs to be processed I would imagine, so it can't be instantaneous.

 

[bratpack]

so is this confirmed or still a rumour?

 

[Fisty]

Yeah also the notification pops up later than the shot is actually taken so the notification won't be on the screenshot. In my experience it doesn't always pop up immediately after the shot

What is this about external drives causing games to skip?

What games does this happen on? I've played quite a few games installed on my MyPassport 4 gig external, and haven't seen this yet...

Maybe the controllers in some external enclosures are causing the drives to power down interfering with data streaming.

Just got the Pro a couple weeks ago and it was the first issue I noticed right away. Holding to take a screen shot takes several seconds. Even just pushing the share button takes a couple seconds for the menu to pop up then another couple seconds to finally push square to save a video.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Even with the notification turned off and 1080p jpg screenshots, and with Easy Screenshots turned on, taking a screenshot still takes like half a second after pressing the button. This is very noticeable in fast-paced games.

 

[Ahasverus]

Yep, if that's not fixed here it should be a priority for the next FW update. I didn't know taking a screenshot took so long.

 

[AgentOtaku]

YEAAAAAAAAAAASSSS!!!!

 

[icespide]

got a 4tb external ready to go

 

[13ruce]

Great time to buy a external hardrive this summer.

 

[HvySky]

Fuck yeah. Boost mode is the reason I bought a Pro, and I've got a 2tb external waiting to go bumping me up to 4tb total. Can't wait to have literally everything installed, even if I don't care about playing it.

 

[pahamrick]

Got a 2TB WD My Passport external, and I've played several games off it with no skipping problems. (Horizon, Yakuza 0 to name a couple).

So at the very least, these drives are working fine.

 

[ClutchAnderson]

Whoa, the stoked is real! In for custom backgrounds

 

[deriks]

No stability this month?

 

[Koobion]

Beast engage.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

I have a feeling the PSN sales will be lit this year so having HDD external storage will be dope

 

[High Prophet of Regret]

Finally custom wallpapers wohoo!

 

[LectureMaster]

Bummed that they ruined the notifications tab with 4.5, but other than that it's all good.

This, the notifications are horrible but we get beast mode who cares！

 

[Hesemonni]

Just in time for: Nier Automata.

 

[Vashetti]

Just in time for: Nier Automata.

Nier is already Pro-enabled.

 

[icespide]

Nier is already Pro-enabled.

could be referring to several things, probably external HDD support

 

[Necron]

Time to replay Bloodborne and unleash the beast.

 

[kristianity77]

Hoping the full release fixes my picture issue on the pro. Every ten minutes or so no matter whether gaming, watching video or anything I get kind of like a separation of colours on screen that's lasts for like a second then goes back to normal. Blurry mess of colours kind of thing.

 

[Swass]

Not sure the firmware is ready for prime time.. still having random crashes in games and plex crashes on launch almost every time I run it.. still haven't fixed the weird issue where it sometimes doesn't see a retail game in the drive unless you shutdown and reboot. I've reported all of these problems since beta 2 and still not fixed so here's hoping the release does.

 

[Vanillalite]

We still don't have official confirmation on this yet do we?

 

[Crimson_Gold]

We still don't have official confirmation on this yet do we?

didn't see anything on the blog yet. Here's hoping

 

[Bizzquik]

Correct.
Source is a tech support customer service representative that may or may not know what they're talking about, apparently.

 

[Hesemonni]

Nier is already Pro-enabled.

...Oh yeah... Well, just in time for Nier: Automata anyway!

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-my-p...able-hard-drive-black/5605533.p?skuId=5605533 is that the one that you have..except yours is 2TB..that is the one I was going to buy just wasn't sure if it would work good since its USB powered and not adapter powered

EDIT: wait, I thought you were talking about something else. Yeah, there's a little delay between pressing the button and saving the screenshot, I believe it's because the system needs to check if you're about to press a second time to start recording a clip.

 

[Hale-XF11]

I'm not sure that what a customer service rep says counts as confirmation of a firmware release. I mean, service reps say all kinds of things all the time that never actually come true. Thread title seems premature without official confirmation.

It happens tomorrow. You have my word.

 

[SMD]

Is there any difference between the rear USB port and the front two when it comes to plugging in an external hard disk?

Nah, they're all USB 3.0.

I... half a second is an issue? I mean, that allows time for the press to be recorded then tell the OS to grab what is currently in the framebuffer. That's more or less normal and to be expected from this sort of thing. I have noticed for the past couple of years that some games do it faster than others for fairly obvious reasons, but I've never had issues capturing decent shots.

Tuesday is always firmware day.

There was a new update every week on the beta, except beta 4 (the current one) which has been going for two weeks now.

 

[Irishonion]

Sweet, so excited to throw a 4tb external drive on my pro.

 

[Nameless]

Any External HD recommendations?

 

[Devil]

Is there a way to download and install FW updates with an USB stick?

My PS4 Pro is currently not home and can't connect to the internet. But I'm home on weekends and would like to get the update without bringing the console with me.

 

[Sjefen]

Yes, will start Bloodborne DLC with beast mode....

 

[KORNdoggy]

Screenshot takes like 20 seconds sometimes.

Only the notification. It always takes the actual screenshot when i press the button.

Rear USB is handy for hiding your external HardDrive, so you don't have wire hanging from the front.

Time to go full clutch on digital this generation
