    PatchDL in a desktop browser and on a phone

    PatchDL 0.0.6

    Highlights

    • Lighter on memory. The built-in web server now limits itself to 8 connections with small stacks, so PatchDL keeps a small footprint during long sessions.
    • Two leaks fixed in rare error paths of the web server.
    • Everything else works as in 0.0.5.

    PatchDL 0.0.5

    Highlights

    • Home-screen tile. Switch on Home-screen shortcut in Settings and PatchDL appears on the PS5 home screen. Tap it to open the UI in the console's browser.
    • Live download banner. The current game, its speed, time left and its place in the queue, at the top of the Games view.
    • Downloads run to the end again. 0.0.4 stopped large updates after 70 to 130 MB. Fixed.
    • Updating shows the queue. The game that's downloading stays under Updatable, so you keep it in sight.

    Also new

    • The sidebar shows the version that's running.
    • PatchDL now records the network error behind a failed download, which makes trouble easier to track down.

    PatchDL 0.0.4

    Highlights

    • Update all. One click queues every game with an update you can install.
    • Updates shared across regions install. Some games get one update for several regions. PatchDL now installs it on the right game. Tested end to end with Dead Island 2, 01.000.001 to 01.000.011.
    • Updatable first. The list opens on games with an update, and a separate Updating filter collects running and queued downloads.
    • Security pass. Input checks, request limits and safer file writes guard against misbehaving devices on your network.

    PatchDL 0.0.3

    Highlights

    • Parallel downloads. 1 to 16 connections per update, adjustable in Settings while a download runs.
    • Queue. One update downloads at a time, the rest wait their turn.
    • Resume after a reboot. PatchDL saves progress after every finished piece. Pause, Resume and Cancel work at any time.
    • Integrity check. Verify each piece against Sony's checksums while it downloads, or check a finished package on the console.
    • Tested with a 61.6 GB update across several reboots.

    Known limitation

    Some updates are published once for several regions. 0.0.3 downloads and verifies them but can't install them yet (fixed in 0.0.4). Disc games need the disc inserted.

    PatchDL 0.0.2

    Highlights

    • Download and install. PatchDL downloads updates that come in several parts, joins them into one package and installs it.
    • Right game, every time. An update only installs on the game it belongs to.
    • Cancel or delete. Stop a running download, or remove a finished package, right from the game card.
    • Optional SHA-256 check of every downloaded piece.
    • New interface. Game cards with progress bar, speed and time left. Separate Settings and Logs pages. Works on small screens.
    • Settings stick. Your choices survive a restart.

    Not yet

    The Home-screen shortcut switch is there but does nothing yet. The tile arrived in 0.0.5.
