- Offline PS4 Remote Play
Ever wanted to use your PS4 on your local network but couldn't because you didn't have an Internet connection available? Here's the solution!
Before we get started, a little message for SonyHello Sony,
If you ever happen to read this, don't you think it would be nice to have this feature built-in?
Think about it like this for a second: you are going on holiday with your PS4 and your laptop because you have no other display available for it. Most laptops aren't shipped with an HDMI input port so you can't directly connect your PS4 to your laptop's screen. However, what you can do is connect your laptop and your PS4 with an ethernet cable and use Remote Play... until you realize that you need an Internet connection to start the software.
Looking for updates is nice, but is there really a point in preventing players from using their console because they don't have an Internet connection available all the time?
Incidentally, if you have any problem with me posting this, please don't hesitate to contact me.

- Any with the new PS4 Remote Play Auto-Patcher!
- Getting started
For various reasons, I can't give you the patched executable. However, I can still tell you how to patch it yourself.
[EVEN BETTER FULLY AUTOMATED PATCHER]
You can just download and run the latest version of the PS4 Remote Play Auto-Patcher.
Compared to the other patcher, this one doesn't need a list of patches, it will patch the assembly by itself, so it should, in theory, be compatible with any version of the RemotePlay.
[FULLY AUTOMATED PATCHER]
You can just download and run the latest version of the PS4 Remote Play Patcher.
If the software can't find the Remote Play by itself it'll ask you to specify its location.
Once that is done, the software will patch the Remote Play (with the latest patch available) and create a backup of your original Remote Play if you want.
Don't forget that, to use the PS4 Remote Play, you still need a local network (connect your PS4 to your computer using an ethernet cable or a local Wi-Fi network hosted on your computer)!
[MANUAL PATCH]
You will need to download BsPatch and the Patches.zip file. Extract the patch of your choice and execute the following command :
bsdiff RemotePlay.exe RemotePlay-Patched.exe mypatch
Then you have to start RemotePlay-Patched.exe to enjoy your PS4 Remote Play offline experience. I'll describe below another method to do the same thing without having to change RemotePlay.exe itself.... and that's perfectly fine.
Will Remote Play work as usual?
Yes, every aspect of the original Remote Play have been kept, except for the updates window, which will not even appear with the latest version of the patch.
I don't trust those patches thrown at me like this...
Here are the steps so that you can reproduce the patch (the first version) by yourself:- Throw your RemotePlay.exe at de4dot to remove the obfuscation.
- Open your brand new RemotePlay-cleaned.exe using your favorite decompiler (ILSpy, .NET Reflector, etc...). In my case, I am using dnSpy. Navigate to the class containing the entry point of the program (this class is not in a namespace).
- In the Main method, get rid of checkUpdate.ShowDialog();.
- And that's it, you can now export your brand new Remote Play executable (using the Save Module... function on dnSpy) and enjoy playing on your PS4 anywhere.
Alternative method, almost 0 programming skill required.- Download and install Fiddler.
- Enable HTTPS decryption in Fiddler.
- a. With Fiddler running, start Remote Play and wait for the request to https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/module/win/rp-version-win.json.
- b. You might also see a request to https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/module/pplist_v2.json, handle it the same way as the previous one.
- Select the AutoResponder tab, enable the rules, enable unmatched requests passthrough.
- Drag & Drop the request made to remoteplay.dl.playstation.net into the rules list.
- Select the FiddlerScript tab and look for this line:
static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {- Add the following content under the line you found earlier :
if (oSession.HTTPMethodIs('CONNECT'))
{
oSession.oFlags['x-replywithtunnel'] = 'GenerateTunnel';
return;
}- Click on Save Script.
- That's it for Fiddler. You have nothing to save by yourself. The only thing that matters now is that Fiddler must be up and running when you want to play without Internet.
- There's still something to do. Currently, if you open Remote Play, it'll tell you that (if you are truly disconnected) there is not network connection available. To fix this, create an access point on your phone and connect to it (there's no need to have an Internet connection available on your phone, otherwise it would defeat the point of having done everything mentionned above). Note that you can also use any free hotspot you may have around you.
- It's already done ! When you'll start the Remote Play, it'll think that an Internet connection is available (when it's merely connected to a hotspot WITHOUT Internet) and when it'll try to look for updates Fiddler will take care of it.
- Enjoy the offline PS4 Remote Play.

If you encounter connection issues or Remote Play errors during setup, or after using it for some time, this article should help.
Things you need for PS4 Remote Play
If you plan on playing away from your PS4, you can make use of its Remote Play feature. Below are the things that you should have to successfully do that:
- Updated PS4 console.
- Internet connected computer.
- Good working PS4 DUALSHOCK wireless controller
- USB cable to connect the controller to your computer. Or, a compatible wireless adapter to allow PS4 wireless connection.
- PlayStation Network account.
- At least 15Mbps download and upload internet connection speeds (for both the PC and PS4)
Causes why your PS4 Remote Play won’t connect
There are several possible reasons why PS4 Remote Play stops or won’t connect. Mostly, the issue is network setup related so it’s important that you make sure to check the status of your own local network ahead of time.
At other times, PS4 Remote Play may encounter connection issues or errors due to problems with the PlayStation Network itself.
For first time users, some may find out that they are unable to use PS4 Remote Play due to their computer’s security software.
Below are some of the common causes for PS4 Remote Play issues.
Internet connection is slow or intermittent.
In order to avoid having latency or lag when using Remote Play, you want to make sure that you have a fast broadband connection. Sony recommends that your PS4 has a minimum of 15Mbps. Anything slower than that can be problematic although I’ve personally been able to use Remote Play normally even though my PS4 speed test result shows that it’s only getting less than 6Mbps of upload speed.
For best results though, try to only use Remote Play when you have a fast enough connection.
PS4 software is outdated.
Most PS4 games and features that uses online functionality usually won’t work when the console’s software is outdated. Make sure that you manually check for software updates if you encounter Remote Play errors.
NAT type is strict or restrictive.
Some users may encounter “A connection to the server could not be established” error due to NAT type issues on the PS4. You should strive to have NAT Type 1(open) on your console although NAT Type 2 (moderate) is also okay. If your PS4 has NAT type 3 (strict), you will not be able to play with others online, talk via voice chat, or run Remote Play on your computer.
Random console or computer OS bug.
Sometimes, electronic devices may develop flukes. Temporary bugs are usually fixed by simply rebooting the device so make sure to restart your PC and PS4.
Local network issue.
Issues with your local networking devices can cause Remote Play to cut off or not load. Make sure that your home network is fast enough and does not disconnect frequently. Intermittent connection issues can cause connection time outs, which can make Remote Play virtually unplayable.
Security software blocking the connection.
If you’re getting a 88010E0F error when setting up Remote Play for the first time, it’s more likely an antivirus or firewall issue. You can try to disable your antivirus or firewall temporarily to check if that’s the case.
Make sure to turn your security software back on after testing.
PlayStation Network is down.

What to do if PS4 Remote Play won’t connect
Offline Ps4 Remote Play Mac
If you’re encountering an error with Remote Play, or if the feature suddenly stops working for no apparent reason, the following solutions should help.
- Check the PlayStation Network status.
Before you troubleshoot your PC or PS4, make sure that you visit the PlayStation Network status page to see if there’s any issue from Sony’s side.
- Check your internet connection speed.
Slow or intermittent connection speed can significantly impact how Remote Play works. Make sure to run a connection speed test on your PS4 first to see if it’s getting the minimum 15Mbps download and upload speeds.
Your computer should also meet with the minimum speed requirements.
To check for a possible intermittent connection issue, you’ll need to observe your network. Using your other devices (smartphones or computers), try to see if the connection keeps dropping for a few hours. If internet connection is unstable or constantly disconnecting, you’ll need to fix this issue first in order to reliably use Remote Play. - Use wired connection.
If you are using wireless or wifi connection with your PS4, it’s possible that there may be wifi signal interference that causes the connection to drop. Try using an ethernet connection from the router to your PS4 before attempting to use Remote Play again.
If a wired connection is not possible, move the PS4 closer to the router so as to ensure that it gets a good wifi signal. - Update your PS4 software.
One of the simplest ways to keep bugs away is to ensure that your PS4 runs the most recent software. To manually check for software updates:
-Go to your PS4 Home screen.
-Go to the Settings Menu.
-Select System Software Update. - Restart Remote Play on your PC.
If Remote Play still won’t connect, make sure that you restart it. On your computer, open the Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), select PS4 Remote Play under the Processes tab, then hit the End Task button at the lower right.
- Reboot the computer.
If restarting the Remote Play application will not fix the error or connection issue, the next good thing that you can do is to restart your computer. This ensures that you address possible temporary bugs with your PC that might be interfering with Remote Play.
- Power cycle your local networking devices.
While your PC is restarting, take the time to also refresh your network connection. To do that, you want to unplug your modem and/or router from the power outlet or strip for about 30 seconds.
- Disable your antivirus and/or firewall.
For some, disabling their security software like antivirus or similar fixes Remote Play issues. If your computer’s firewall is active, you should consider turning off that too for testing purposes. Or, you can make an exception in your firewall settings to allow Remote Play to establish a connection. Use Google to know how to do this suggestion.
- Delete and reinstall Remote Play.
If all the possible causes have been checked and not one of the solutions above has helped so far, consider deleting and reinstalling Remote Play.
