Star Wars Battlefront's received something of a lukewarm critical response, but it prompted outrage overnight as thousands of gamers attempted to boot their PlayStation 4 pre-loads – only to be greeted by an error message. It seems that those who downloaded the Ultimate Edition were afflicted by a 'CE-34632-8' glitch, which asked them to update the game – even though it already had the latest version installed.
Sony itself immediately requested that fans restore their licenses in the Account Management area of the PS4, but that didn't solve the issue for everyone. EA Games has since deployed a hot fix which appears to have rectified the problem – assuming that you reboot your console before retrying. If the servers hold, this will prove a minor blip – but the whole point of pre-loading is so that you can play the second that a game launches.
In this instance, many wannabe Jedis endured an irritating evening…

Is that a new robot?
@themcnoisy NICE!
^haha.
Saying the response has been lukewarm seems a bit harsh. it's generally hitting the 7/10 area, which I read as good, but not essential.
Droopy lightsabres.
Do they not even hire QA testers any more? I feel they have become extinct.
This installment is such a letdown in this legendary Star Wars series.....what a shame
And yet another reason not to pre-pay for games.
Though I suppose w/ the size of this download people didn't really have a choice.
OK, amended - yet another reason to buy retail.
Happened to me. A little disappointing but I'm still excited. When I get off work later, it. Is. On.
It always pains me to see hiccups like this on a major game launch.
Sorry to hear that for people. I have to pick mine up from Gamestop today. But I had zero issues with my SAO download last night.
@themcnoisy I believe the term you are looking for is droid.
@ericthecheese You must be in constant agony when any game is released then (barring Nintendo games, they're usually really well polished)
@RawShark Scores of 7 for such a high profile release don't exactly scream "must buy" and I get a sense from reading a few reviews that it is a bit of a let down.
It's always something, isn't it?
did this happen only on the ps4 version?
"A disturbance in the force"
Or A disturbance and a farce?
@Tasuki these are not the terms you are looking for
EA has altered the deal. Pray they do not alter it any further.
I thought it was out on the 19th?
I've played it all day and not a single hitch , Push Square I feel has been a little overly negative with its stories regards Battlefront. Just an observation , kind of felt like Driveclub all over again ,its kind of cool to hate on it.
