H1Z1 has seemingly taken the PS4 landscape by storm over the past few days, and it’s showing no signs of letting up. With the 1.14 update, developers Daybreak Game Company has added a brand-new mode, polished up a few minor bugs and, as well as that, offered an update on a few issues that they’re tracking. However, some players have been plagued by issues where they seemingly cannot download the patch. Here’s what to do if you’ve come across that issue.

H1Z1 1.14 Update Patch Notes: Why Can’t I Download the Patch?
If you are having trouble downloading this patch (as many players did with the 1.13 update) it appears that the best possible way of finally getting the update to stick is to, unfortunately, stop the download, cancel it, and restart both your console and your game.
H1Z1 1.14 Update Patch Notes: Current Issues
These are the current issues post-1.14 that the developers are hoping to fix in future patches
- Some players may still see stuck/”infinite” queue time issues – in the meantime, often restarting the application will bypass this.
- We’re continuing to work to ensure that all who ordered the Nemesis Pre-Order Bundle have received their items (specifically in the EU).
- We’re working to resolve issues where controls appear to get “stuck” or lose focus (such as not being able to turn your character with the weapon wheel up).
- Some players are reporting that they group up for Fives matches, but then get placed in separate lobbies – we are continuing to investigate this.
