soma can't progress until the game has finished downloading?

[HappyStitches]

Hello. I bought this game yesterday and let it install overnight so I could play today but after reaching a certain part of the first area it stopped and told me I need an additional 8 hour download... Is this normal? If so it's extremely annoying. If not, what do?

P.S. I'm on ps4 if that matters?

---

Just need to know if this is normal or not. My ps4 says it's installed and yet I'm stuck in the pause menu with a timer saying it has to finish installing in another freaking 8 hours.

Anyone? Pretty simple question I thought: Is this normal?

I don't have the answer, but this sounds rather odd. But I don't know PS4 well so I can't really say. Not sure if there are many regular PS4 users on here though.

It doesn't sound like a problem though, just an inconvenience. But if it takes you 8 hours to download, regardless of how much you already have, you must have quite far below average Internet speeds. My SOMA folder is 20 GB, but I know the PS4 one is much less, perhaps around 14-18 GB. Though, I guess that would result in about 5 Mbps for you to take 8 hours.

I did some digging and found out my ps4 is installing the app data for the game and is common, sadly. And yes my Internet is next to unusable 99% of the time because of where I live. Anyway thanks for the response~
