    Ok so I can't explain this. I download AC4 and played a couple of hours of it. everything working fine. I save the game. Put the PS4 into sleep mode and go do somthing else. I come back a 10 mins later an figure I'll try the remote play on the Vita. So I boot the PS4 back up, connect the VITA and then notice AC4 is not showing in system menu. I go into the library, click on AC4 and it starts downloading again!!

    I have looked around but as far as I can tell the PS4 just deleted the game? has anyone else had this.. I can't explain how this could happen....

    3 potential triggers:

    1. The playstation is posessed
    2. You downloaded the Vita version of AC4
    3. There was a bug

    I don't know how the remote play feature works. Can you boot/start the game on the console and then continue on the handheld? That may work better than requesting the console to boot the game from the handheld.

    Ok so I think one of two things may have happend here.

    1. I turned off the PS4 while it was still downloading the rest of the game and that caused it to loose the data (unlikely)

    2. After I finished playing the game I thought I went into options and hit close program. I may have however clicked on delete.

    Either way it was probably my fault.

    Was it the digital version of the game? Because they take a while to download. Plus some games let you play as you download.

    Does anyone have an idea if you can re-download and not lose and of its data? Because I might of got Warframe and spent some money and accidently deleted it trying to close it...

    Is the close button really close to the delete button? Doesn't it offer you a double-check prompt?

    @oginor: If he wasn't paying attention he could've deleted it, I've almost done it a time or two.

    Indeed. You just have to train yourself to realize when doing PS Button -> Options Button to close that you don't have to scroll so you can just hit PS Button --> Options --> X without thinking about it.

    If you click and hold PS button you get to another menu and Close application is the first choice, with no delete choice at all present. A tip if anyone's worried it might happen again. :P
