Games crashing on PS5. It's a PS platform issue.

If it's not limiting the user experience, why does it matter? Seems like a good solution all around and nobody thinks about the hardware.
The performance RT mode in both Spider-Man games have been unplayable for me since the feature was added because the game hard crashes my console after a minute or two in that mode. At this point, I just accepted that it probably won't be addressed anytime soon, if ever.
It's not the drive I'd be worried about (and honestly, with the SSD, you're cutting maybe a second or two? Is it worth it?). I'd be more worried about memory corruption. All those bits of games sittings in memory because the system couldn't tell what the user was going to do (it shouldn't be trying).
Causing game crashes across the board is something I would classify as "limiting the user experience".
I'm not saying it's a bad idea on paper, but you can't just toss it in willy-nilly and not expect some unforeseen side effects.
Well, we don't know how much data is loaded into memory while browsing the icons, could just be a small amount.
I surely have no clue about the benefits of that, but i will also not deny them.
Only got 1 crash for Miles and Demon's Souls and got to the credits scenes for both games and all came from photo mode. Hope I'm not an outlier.
Over 20h in Returnal no crashes so far. Tho Miles Morales, Cod Cold War, Cyberpunk and even Demon's Souls gave me a couple. Oh Borderlands 3 also had some crashes.
Only game that's ever crashed on my PS5 since launch is Returnal today. It also fucked up last night because the blue doors stopped opening randomly during a run.
Demon's Souls, Astro, Miles, Sackboy, The Pathless etc, not a single crash.
So not sure how it's a platform issue.

I've had one during launch week and the thing has been on pretty much every day.
Hope they figure it out, I'd find this very frustrating.
I wouldn't count Cold War either Treyarch's games are notorious for crashing.
BO4 would crash 50% of the time just hitting the PS button
Is this another one of those PS exclusive functions? /s
But...I had suffered at least 4~5 hardcrash to homescreen while playing maneater.

The only crashes I've ever experienced have been from the remastered Spider-Man, thankfully. Pretty sure it was the game and not the system, though.
"hmm what should we blame the crashes on"
"how about the console itself?"
"I love it"
"but we designed the game around rest mode as a way to retain mid-game progress"
"so what"
"rest mode on any modern electronics is a recipe for stability disaster"
"oh"

Haven't had my PS5 crash on me since launch week. Miles was the main culprit back then. I've played over 6 hours of Returnal so far, no problems. I use rest mode. I use an external hard drive for PS4 games. I preload games, and I'm all digital on a DE.
Not sure what I'm doing different or if it's a console to console issue, but those kinks have seemingly been ironed out for me for months now.

That's just a guess on my part it might not be what was in the patent.
Also I'm guessing it will probably be after a certain amount of time if it is that.
Are you using the deluxe edition suits ? It seems those are causing the issues with doors not opening and they advise people not to use them for now.
There probably was some specific ps platform issue at launch, but from the bugs i've seen I find it hard to believe it's only that (like people blocked on that biome 2 mountain teleporter with no game crash or the deluxe edition suit problems, or people locked in challenge rooms because enemies aren't spawning)
just to offer a different perspective. Bugs can be mitigated even on the side of something that's not the root cause. The root cause is likely the OS not performing something to spec all the time. The fix for dirt 5 and miles morales was likely to gracefully detect and reset some internal state in the OS occasionallyz
I try mention this every time this pops up, but the problem might be an issue with external HDDs and any data installed to the internal drive from the external one. I don't see this brought up a lot, so maybe I'm just an edge case, but removing my external drive, uninstalling any data installed from that drive and restarting the system fixed the problem for me. My PS5 has crashed maybe twice since doing this.
I've crashed once in Demon's Souls when trying to show off how quick it loads between areas, going back and forth, to a mate. Slightly awkward haha. And one crash with Miles Morales fairly early on. Nothing since then though. That was around the first week of the console's launch.
It does suck for people who experience them frequently though. Puts a damper on things and you can't help think your system might just be broken. And yeah, the OS does feel like it's in beta. I've had a fair few OS problems.

I haven't had an in-game crash since playing Spider-Man Remastered in November. I've had two rest mode shut downs but those happened overnight so it's possible there was just a power flicker or something.
Fingers crossed Returnal behaves for me.

Haha. I haven't put Nioh 2 aside and started Returnal just yet strictly because of the near non existent save system. I hover over the tile and get anxiety lol.
Also it's annoying how in every single thread when people bring up an issue that they and several others experience someone has to chime in and call it an overreaction or reiterate that because they themselves haven't encountered it, then surely it must be user error or just flat out bullshit. Every damn time lol.
I believe it. I got multiple hard crashes playing Miles Morales. Haven't gotten any playing Astro Bot or 13 Sentinels though which are the only other games I've been playing on PS5. I wonder if it's because they're less intensive games.
Since launch I've played PS5 games WRC9, Fifa20, Madden20, NBA2k, Coldwar..then PS4games Warzone, UFC, Madden20, F12020, Fallguys, Gravel, TheHunter, Ride, SuperCross, and a bunch more...
And I haven't had any crashes. That being said for the first few months I didn't use rest mode because of what some were saying...but I use it now often. I've also had a external SSD that hasn't caused me any problems either.
Only issues I initially had were disc games trying to install themselves again...then needed to update those games... but that has thank god been fixed.

I haven't had any crash since I got my ps5 two months ago, and i have played a lot of games, miles, valhalla, demons, etc, and also ps4 games. Maybe is a day one console's problem? Although I think it has more to do with the OS.
I play digital only, so it may has something to do with it.

Only crashes I've had were related to Cold War. Stopped playing that and haven't had any issues since. Returnal plays great for me. Weird that it seems to be affecting some more than others.
Happens to me all the time, even on PS4 games on PS5. Makes me regret getting one this early, as all of these issues really make it seem like the console shipped before it was ready.
What kind of crashes are we talking about? My PS5 hard crashes and powers off after playing Fortnite for a few. The only way to fix it is to unplug it and plug it back in. Then it goes through the whole self repair thing. It's pretty nerve wracking to be honest, but that's the only game it has done it in. Returnal has been solid for me so far.
I've had one crash with Demon's Souls four months ago. Outside of issues setting up an external HDD (which had nothing to do with the PS5 itself, it was a faulty cable), the PS5's been as stable as any other console I've owned.
So I don't know. If it's an OS issue, I haven't come across it in any of the games I've played since launch 🤷♂️

I can't think of a single time I've seen a console crash until the PS5.
When I first got it out of the box, I couldn't even scroll the UI without it constantly crashing. Luckily a factory reset seemed to solve that.
But even after the factory reset, over 80 hours of play I've had Demon's Souls crash three or four times, seemingly at random. Granted, four times in 80 hours isn't horrendous, but it's definitely weird.

Barely had any crashes on PS5 really apart from in Cyberpunk, but that games issues were well documented.
I had miles crash on me in the first 5 minutes then never again, cod a couple of times randomly but thats about it. I hope returnal keeps up the good work because I've been having long runs no problem
