PS+ Automatic Download

Hello, I have an important question regarding this feature of PS+.

 

I bought a subscription yesterday, and of course one of the things I tried to do was to run this automatic download. I set it for the 10:00-12:00 timeframe, I went out home, and when I came back (like 11:30), it was running the download. I was so happy!

 

But... (of course, there's a but...) then I switched on the TV and Sixaxis and found that I had two push demos on the download queue. Nice, but I already have Heavy Rain and I've already tried ModNation Racers, so I just cancelled both. Nothing else on the list, so I assumed patching to other games had already happened.

 

Guess what? It didn't. I set it again for a few hours ago... the PS3 switched on and then off, I suppose because it didn't find anything to download. However, I know for sure I have a few games that needed patching!

 

How does this system select which games need patching and which not? Why it hasn't patched some of my games?

Please use plain text.

Re: PS+ Automatic Download

It checks for patches on the last ten games you have played. I think if there aren't any it then checks the previous ten but I'm not certain.

Thanks for your answer lyonix. That's what I heard too. I know there are no games to patch on my last 10 (or that's what I think). But I'm sure there are 2 or 3 unpatched games in the previous 10, but they haven't been patched... that's why I'm asking :smileyhappy:
