Mathias Mathias You should add that it's still possible that the game will "stop" at a certain point if the download is too slow. Dragon Age Inquisition will stop after the "toturial boss" has been defeated if the game did not download completely at this point.

However, that you can play as you download the remainder of the game is intended, so it shouldn't do any more harm then playing the game normally.

Here's a discussion about the play while download feature gamefaqs. Perfect then. I was kinda scared that the game could have some problems or my saves will not work after the whole download was done. Zarathustrax Nope, just play :. The only problem you can encounter, is that you hit the maximum playability,as pointed out by Nitro.

Boards PlayStation 4 is PS4 capable of downloading games while playing online without consequences? User Info: xenosaga User Info: Rjmhart. It's fine for me. I am playing online and the notification pops up that something finished downloading and I had no idea. User Info: jairusmonillas. There's a very low chance your download file will get corrupted. I experienced it once with WWE 2k17 although it's really just common sense since downloading it you are using ps4's hdd and playing also uses your ps4's hdd.

Although rebuilding database would easily fix it. But still it would feel much better to let it download while not playing. User Info: Knighthawk X. I haven't done it very often at all, but the few times I did, the games installed perfectly fine, and because I have a fast connection, I didn't experience any lag while playing NHL, GTA, et cetera.

Just my personal experience, though. The Hero's triumph on Cataclysm's Eve wins three symbols of virtue. The Master Sword he will then retrieve, keeping the Knight's line true. User Info: ezio Won't corrupt but depend on your down speeds it can slow to a crawl or even get so slow it appears to have halted. User Info: vonVolik.

The biggest issue I have run into is it can create lag. Personally, I wait to do my downloads while I am sleeping, and the system is in rest mode.
