Jerush Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Happens with most games. Few sp games like Castlevania allow downloads to progress during game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karooo Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I have noticed that my PS3 always sets the download to pending,whenever I am playing another game,even if the game is single player Anyway to get around this problem? It interferes with HDD seek times, so thats why its set to pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well I thought it had to do with the game requiring some sort of internet access even if it's a single player game. (Like the KZ3 beta which requires a sign in even when you're playing with bots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 ya..same case with 360...... it will stop all download, if your game is trying to access internet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 ^^ Don't think so. I have had downloads continue in the background. Usually stops when there is a MP component in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think this issue is game based, some games allow the downloads to continue whereas other games set it as pending (of course, talking about when playing single player). I have tried various permutations & combinations on how to make them work but couldn't make the games that do not allow to background download.

Buzz Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 There is a way to avoid that.... Sign out of PSN but remain connected to the internet, then start the game and play without signing in.The download will continue for most of the games.
