Can I track installation progress of a downloaded game?
I've tried searching everywhere and I cannot seem to find an actual answer. I just purchased and downloaded BF4, the download shows as complete, but the installation is not. Is there anywhere I can track the actual installation percentage? Will I be okay just placing the system in standby, allowing it access to my WiFi, and still have my BF4 game install? I was able to play the first mission in the campaign, but it will not let me go any further even though the menu shows 'Campaign 100%'
How To Download Game Progress On Ps4 3
If I have two PlayStation 4s and one has a game on it with a bunch of progress and I re-download that same game onto another PlayStation 4 (using my PSN account) will it still keep my progress I had onto the first PlayStation and let me start from the beginning on my new one?
I am wondering this because I played a bunch of God of War 4 and I want to keep my progress onto my first PlayStation 4 and start from the beginning on another without messing anything up.

Single player saves are usually stored locally on the console, so yes, you can keep your progress on one console and start a new save on a different one even while logged into the same PSN account.
An exception to this are games that store their save data on the developer's end, which is usually the case with online multiplayer games where you have a player profile, so your progression is associated with your PSN account and will be downloaded and synced when you start the same game on a different console.

You won't ever accidentally overwrite a save on a different console either way.
Within the same PSN account you can also copy and paste save data between your consoles by going to Settings -> Application Saved Data Management. You can either copy saves onto a USB-Stick or upload them to the PS Plus Cloud service (you need an active PS Plus subscription for the cloud option). So, if you ever do want to continue your progress for a game on a different console you also have the option to do that, but you'll have to do it manually.
If you're ever unsure or want to back up your saves, copy them onto a USB stick just in case.
