| Zkuq said: The thing about updates on PS3 I don't get is why I can't do anything else while the update is being downloaded. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem at all different from downloading a game from Store, and when downloading games, I can do whatever I want while the game downloads. That I can't do when I'm downloading an update for a game. Not being able to do anything while it installs? That I'm okay with. But downloads, no. Luckily I don't play a whole lot on my PS3 and focus on PC instead. |
Yea, that patches load as a forced main task is a pretty big flaw with the PS3s patching process. I'm far from being a software engineer, but I imagine the problem might be that the patches are loaded when you already told the system to start up a game, so the PS3 is in game mode and OS functions are at a minimum and might not have the necessary access anymore to dl the patch.
