I currently live in a rural area with no access to WIFI. But I am a gamer with a cellular internet connection.
So I decided to tether my phones internet to my PS4.
Sadly my phones carrier doesn't allow "Hotspots" so I had to find an alternative. I came across an App called Foxfi/PdaNet which allows Bluetooth and USB tethering between and android phone & PC.
I successfully did this no problem. I got my phones internet tethered to my computer.
To get internet access on the PS4 I had to go to network and sharing center and share connection between my Computer and PS4 via Ethernet. Piece of cake. I could run any game no problem with no lag at the cost of a slightly high ping.
Every game worked with this, until now.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 seems to hate my internet connection setup. I cannot run the application without the game freezing and crashing my ps4. I can go to my friends house and run the game just fine on their internet. It's a very odd problem that I've come across, as no other game has had this problem. If I turn off internet connection on my ps4 it's starts up just fine and goes to offline gameplay easily. I'm not sure what causes this & why it does it. <Redacted>
