Anyone else downloading GTAV from PSN Store?

Dord

Mine downloaded ok. I was using a 50mb UPC connection with the PS3 connected by ethernet. The PS3's IP is also in the DMZ on the router.

I turned it on briefly this morning to check and abruptly failed the first mission because I shot someone. Oops!

Turn off your router firewall, wire direct to PS3. Set MTU on PS3 to 1497 and dont download in back ground. Might be overkill but worked for me after failed install last night.

Jesus how long does it take to install?

Took around 30 minutes or so. Working now, eventually.

That was heartbreaking stuff.

forgot to mentione

PSN version of GTA V suffer the same problem like XBOX360 2nd disc install streaming issue

It's bad unless we upgrade HDD to SSD, I really wish i brought the 25EURO cheaper disc version

Installing now @ 3%. Download stopped at 95%, think the net connection went but apparently it can just continue.....I have my doubts though...

Same for me. Corrupted at 14%. I'll download it once more and let you know if it works. Should know by 12pm.

Is it difficult to get a refund from Sony??

I see in that ps forum link above that someone got a refund.
Its a refund to your ps wallet though, not to your credit card.
Wouldnt mind a refund now, but I dont want to ring up, it would cost a fortune, there doesn't appear to be any email address to contact?

Go onto your router and turn SPI off, this should sort everyone out.

Managed to download yesterday and play last night for a few hours. This morning went to turn the ps3 on and showed up with corrupt file instead of the GTA icon. Absolutely raging. Re-downloading now.

Would have been better off going to gamestop

listermint

I dont think i will ever download a game ever, I hope they arent betting on this nonsense as being the 'future'

Hard copies FTW

right heres the craic lads. picked up a copy in smyths so i got home the download was still corrupted rang sony to see had they taken the funds from my account. they said no so they let me cancel it there. your man on the phone told me that the issue was down to rockstar. he also said they cant refund anyone as it basically wasn't there fault and there should be a updated download by 4. right i'm off to play the game. i hope the rest of ya get sorted out with the downloads.

Don't right now. Installs aren't working for a lot of people. Supposedly they released a working version/fix at 4 o clock, have to wait and see if it works when downloaded.

Got it installed from this mornings download. Either I just got lucky or the steps in the links I posted did the trick.

So the failed install seems to have eaten up 17GB of my HDD space, which means I now don't have enough space to download the game. There's no way to delete the corrupted download as it's not listing in my game menu or game data utility. Called SONY support, apparently very strange error and there's nothing I can do except delete crap to make room or a do a full format (not happening). Deleted Just Cause 2 and some other stuff, have enough room now and attempting a new download (I hear it's fixed). Goodbye to that 17GB forever though...

I heard people mentioning going into safe mode to delete their corrupt file for some reason , worth a try.

Already tried that, once it said there was no corrupt data and the second time I tried it while on phone to SONY support and it said there was corrupted data but after it was done I was still down exactly 17GB. I am upset but I just really hope that whatever rogue GTAV data that got through and is now floating int he mysteries of HDD space doesn't interfere with the new download and install of GTAV I'm doing.

Yes I brought it in the shop but didn open it till I knew the payment hadn't gone through on psn. If it did. I would of returned the game tomorrow.

Well just turned my ps3 off after 21 hours on non stop. It needs a break, not even going to bother downloading it this evening, going to wait to see what playstation say to my email requesting my money back.

Apologies, I didnt realise you actually got to cancel your order. I mis read your post.
I see on my own credit card statement the money is reserved, its not complete, maybe il try ringing them then. Is the phonecall expensive per minute?

Savage Tyrant

I'm on my 3rd full download at this stage!
First one took 20 hours, corrupted on install.
2nd one too about 14 hours. Again corrupted on install.
This time it's looking like about 20 hours again so who knows.

I bought the PSN credit from Xtravision so I've no hope of a refund. The best id get is the money back on my PSN, but it's no good to me there as if I don't get GTA there's nothing I want.

Your grand I cancelled it first on the ps3 so it came up on there sysyem as cancelled. So rang them after you do that maybe just to be safe. The rates is the national rate as far as I know
