Does anyone understand how PS4 should auto-download games better than I do? On the PSN web-store, there is a simple button next to games that says "download to my ps3", but there is no such button for PS4 games. I have my PS4 setup to automatically turn on over the network and auto-download and update games under the PS4 settings. So I bought Don't Starve on the the web store while I was at work and expected it to auto-download before I got home, but no such luck. Any advice?

I brought dont starve on my mobile and it was on my PS4 when I returned home. When I brought it there was a button asking me to download to my PS4. I know on the desktop site you can go to your download list and move the games to your download queue.
One more thing, I know this may sound stupid but do you leave your PS4 in standby mode (orange light)? Auto downloads only work in that mode.
thanks ZeD. Yea I'm in standby mode. I didn't know about the moving things to your download queue via the desktop site. I'm sure that will take care of it. Just what I needed to know! Now the only thing I have to figure out is why I couldn't start remote play from away from home. I see a lot of people online say the have to fiddle with their router settings.

The auto download worked fine for me. I bought Don't Starve from my mobile app, I regret it. Now I can't play the game... there is a padlock! and when I click play, it says something about license holder etc.... (I will post the exact line later)
Now I think I need to ring SONY !

Go to settings, PSN, restore licenses. Happened to me when I bought Trine, I signed out and back in and that worked, but one of the devs for trine said that was a fix too.
