So, I've been stuck at 10% completion of "Preparing to Update" to 1.18 for the past however long I've been searching the internet to find a solution to this problem. At least a half hour. This crap happens EVERY update, and I have no idea what ultimately fixes it. It's not a storage space issue, I have 70 GB of free space (though if these updates continue in their massive size, my entire PS4 is going to be clogged up with ESO by Easter).
Deleting the update and trying again results in the same problem. Restarting the PS4 results in the same problem. Deleting the download and then restarting the PS4 results in the same problem.
It'd be just splendid if someone could tell me what the problem is so that I might play the game I have paid for, and possibly so that this exact same farce doesn't play out after the NEXT bloody update.
