I'd like to do a transfer of data since psn downloads are so slow. Bought a 5TB drive for like $80ish at Best Buy. Transferred stuff from PS4 to the drive, then connected to the PS5 and downloaded most of the PS+ collection games onto the external as well as random games I've bought/gotten for free via monthly PS+ over the years.

we_gotta_believe Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I've been going into full shutdown just as a precaution for now. Also, the stand in horizontal orientation is pretty crappy. Keeps slipping off when I try to position the console in the cabinet, requiring me to pull the whole thing back out to clip it back on again.

Just several locations that all seem like it will balance there no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah at least in vertical orientation there's that screw that's supposed to stabilize it, but at this point, just minor gripes, everything else has been awesome.

The old ones were better if you've never played them, but FO4 is still better than Outer Worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not matter though it still slides the eff off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why people insist on messing with the rest mode if it's causing problems. Just shut the damn thing off till they come out with a patch to fix it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we_gotta_believe Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 RAM is being measured at up to 90C. Not encouraging for the lifespan of this thing.

If this crap crashes after only a year in it's lifecycle they better be prepared to replace them with a better design or they will lose a lot of people.

I don’t know exactly what is causing it, but mine has been freezing/crashing at a relatively frequent rate lately. Hoping it’s just a blip until something is patched, but I’m not pleased with the development. The most recent one involved the TV screen going blank, yet the controller continued to vibrate periodically. No button presses, either on the controller or the console itself, accomplished anything. Finally had to detach the power cord, which of course prompted the "do not do this” message when it rebooted, but have no clue what else could have been done. Are there any failsafe options for scenarios like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that can be fixed through a patch though. Like maybe something else is running when it shouldn't be? Like they say it runs hotter if you start from rest mode. So obviously something is already running. I have not experienced any issues at all yet though with a digital game or a disc game. I was nervous when I put an actual PS5 game in via disc and still no issues. Obviously the console was a bit louder but, once it downloaded and I was running the regular game it got quiet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put in freezing and crashing in the trouble shooting forum on the playstation website and this was one of the the options for when you are getting no response from your controller. So I'm guessing this is a safe way to shut it down and also clean up the crashing mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we_gotta_believe Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 @EaglesFan The "no response from the controller" thing happened to me once when it crashed. I think I pushed and held the power button on the console for like 5 seconds to shut it down and then again to soft reboot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
