Post: Error 80029564 fix

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok now i have seen many post on here about the error code 80029564 where your trying to download a demo or game and you just spent about 2 hours downloading it. You go to install it and you get the error. A few easy fixes to this are:

Dont ever hit background download. This often corrupts data. Then when you go to install it, data is missing and it wont install. So if your having this problem delete the game, demo, etc and re download it without hitting background download.

You can also quickly hit download in background and click on the download in the download management section. This way you can see how much megabytes are left. I did this with the call of duty 5 map pack after it failed to install.

Sometimes you can hit background download and never touch the ps3. this includes sending messages and especially playing a game. But your best bet is to not even touch background download.

I hope this helped at least some of you. Oh and i recommend stickying this since there is so many posts about this happening.

I believe you can background dowload it and send messages and it won't do anything. But playing a game, watching a video etc will corrupt the data that it's sending so some of it will go missing and stuff. I myself often just send messages when it's downloading and not once has anything happened.

Yea but i have seen so many post this week about this error that they were getting so people couldnt install the maps. It happened to me with the maps and other demos. Including Resident Evil 5. I redownloaded it about 4 times hitting background download and my 5 time i didnt and it worked fine. Some ps3s and downloads are different i guess. Lol
