In this article, I’ll delve into the possible reasons behind this issue and provide you with a step-by-step guide to resolve it.
Before we dive into the troubleshooting steps, let’s understand why this issue might be occurring. There could be several reasons for the Black Ops 3 1.34 update not appearing on your PS4. It could be due to a corrupted update file, a problem with your internet connection, or even an issue with the game’s servers.
Checking for Corrupted Update Files
One of the most common reasons for the update not appearing is a corrupted update file. To check for this, follow these steps:
- Go to your PS4’s settings and select “System.”
- Select “System Storage,” then “Manage.” This will open a list of all the files on your PS4.
- Scroll through the list and look for the “Black Ops 3” folder.
- Open the folder and find the “update” file. It should be named something like “BlackOps3Update.zip.” If you find multiple files with similar names, it could indicate a corrupted update.
- Right-click on the update file and select “Delete.” This will remove the corrupted update file.
- Restart your PS4 and try to download the update again.
Checking Your Internet Connection
Another possible reason for the update not appearing is a problem with your internet connection. To check for this, follow these steps:
- Make sure your PS4 is connected to the internet using a wired connection. Wi-Fi connections can sometimes be unstable.
- Check your internet speed using a speed test website. If your speed is below the recommended minimum, it could be causing the issue.
- Restart your router and PS4. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.
- Try downloading the update on a different device connected to the same network. This will help determine if the issue is with your PS4 or your internet connection.
Checking the Game’s Servers
Occasionally, the issue might be with the game’s servers. To check for this, follow these steps:
- Go to the official Treyarch website or the PlayStation website to check for any server maintenance or outages.
- Wait for a few hours and try downloading the update again.
