Game is completely broken on PS4 after the new update. Any fixes?
After loading the game, it tells me that there’s an update that requires me to restart the game. I say okay, the game restarts, and it repeats this process over and over again.
I’ve tried everything from restarting my PS4 to manually checking for the game update in my games library. What gives?

Try this at your own risk but I was able to get out of the update loop by manually pulling the power plug on my ps4 when the little white loading icon popped up on the bottom right of the screen while the rest of the screen was completely black. This is after clicking exit on the “update requires restart” notification but before it makes it back to the “press x to continue” screen. Let me know if this works for you too.
THIS WORKED FOR ME AS WELL! THANKS!!!!
I’m going to try this. So you did this, then plugged it back in, loaded the game, and it worked normal without you having to go offline?
Yes, I waited 10 seconds, plugged it back in then booted the game up. It told me an update was required when I loaded in the game but this time I actually got a progress bar that I waited through and after that and the game restarting itself as though an update applied normally it let me into the game no problem.
UPDATE:
Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!
A caution to anyone who has this game or others installed on an external drive: this method might make your PS4 not recognize your drive, so you’ll have to unplug it, plug it back in, and let your PS4 “repair” your drive. Not sure if this does anything but now it seems like all of my games are okay.
Awesome, thanks for the additional info!
Trying it now. PS4 is doing the “checking system storage status” thing so it might be a second.
