#and then it asks for a USB drive with update files for 11.50 or later

[confoundedluna]

y'all i'm so upset i'm on Easter break rn and was hoping I'd get a day to sit and play through until dawn start to finish (I wanna stream it for my friends to watch along with me) but my ps4 has hit an error and needs me to manually update with like a USB to fix it (it needs 11.50 or later) but whatever the file is on the playstation site doesn't work for it and playstation support sucks ass and apparently from some research this update has caused problems for other people in various ways, and I have no clue when another update will drop or how to fix it so I am just. losing my mind

#luna laments #all because i accidentally unplugged the thing while it was turned on #before anyone asks i tried a power reset by unplugging it and waiting and then plugging it back in #and i also tried removing the hard drive and cleaning it and then putting it back in #the thing starts up with a 'Checking System Storage' message in safe mode and i don't think i can get off that #it loads to at max 27% but as little as 22 if i remember right l #and then goes to 'Cannot start the PS4' and asks for a controller to be connected and like. activated #and then it asks for a USB drive with update files for 11.50 or later #the file i tried from the official playstation site which was the 'PS4 console update file' option #gave me the 'Cannot use update file' message #so either the file on the site is not up to date or i've downloaded the wrong thing entirely or my USB sucks ass #or something else #and i may only have one game played to completion on the console but i really don't wanna factory reset somehow
