PS5 firmware update 21.02-04.50.00 is out
- Thread starter manustany

Who knows but it might move the jira ticket further up in their priority list. Public pressure and angry customers can make companies act faster than expected.
lol.. thanks. I just saw lots of numbers and I was like...errrrr, nope.
Yeah it's very few people if that and almost all games are already super stable on the system lol. It's def coming rich from DF mentioned that it's on their roadmap but with few TVs having it I can see where it's a lower priority.
so it looks like sony have fixed the jailbreak on ps5 4.03 and ps4 9.00 with these new firmware rollouts
No he was most definitely not and that correction Dolby issues just confirmed what Mark Cerny said. They just handwaved it away by saying developers told them too many objects can cause a confusing soundscape. Dolby Atmos as a technology supports hundreds of objects for Cinema. Dolby Atmos gaming supports much less. This is what Mark Cerny was talking about.
Ah, so that's the "stability" brought to PS4 with it then.
Though it wasn't before, the download link has been updated now.
LOL. I'm being dunked on?
Are you comparing a Sony LCD to a Samsung LCD?
Or a Sony OLED to a Samsung LCD?
I don't think it's much of a hot take.
AMD surely have implemented the functionality for VRR in the drivers they give Sony.
The feature is in the last gen Xbox.
Why doesn't the PS5 support it?
Because their TVs don't support it.
h
'm posting on a thread about the PS5 firmware.
And the best gaming TV according to them is an LG 1st then a Samsung. So maybe it's 3rd place?
If we're talking about video games, it would be a worse option to buy.
I don't know why you're hung up on the word inferior.
It's inferior for gaming.
And because of their lack of support for 1440p and VRR, PS5 does not support those features.
Other people who have better TVs (or monitors) are losing out of functionality that the console can easily support because Sony's TVs do not.
I know a few people who play their PS5 on 1440p monitors. And have to use a 1080p output. Because Sony TVs don't support it. And it seems like a lot of people just brush it off saying "PS5 is for TVs not monitors" when the Xbox or a PC can use both fine.
Therefore to any gamer with other TVs, I don't see any issue in saying "Sony's shitty TVs are holding PS5 feature back from consumers"
Saying that it's better at playing videos with amazing picture processing doesn't mean much to a gamer where there's 130ms+ input lag outside of game mode.
If all you said was... its an inferior TV to get for gaming.I would not have said a single thing. But that's not what you said.
And funny enough...I am in agreement with you, while a majority of what you mention doesn't matter to me, doesn'tmanI ill say something is bad in as general a way as you initially did. Even if I know how it can man the world to those that it matters to.
anyway... it's no biggie, let's leave it alone.
I had to reformat my PS5 almost 6 times, though since I switched from my 8tb to an 4tb external; no crashes and forced reformatting. I have enough games to fill the 8tb so I want to go back; just worried about it. Hopefully it was either just that drive; or some corruption in the files.
Mark Cerny and his development team ditched this technology after consideration and it was a keynote in Sony's nameā¦ I can't believe he would make any "claims" out of the blue under these circumstances.
Exactly. There you have it.
Getting the green screen and the it hard shuts off? I had this happen too. I had to send the console in to Sony for repair :(. They replaced the motherboard. Just an FYI, they had to do it twice, the first one I got back had the same issue right out of the box (but worse). So far the second repair has been perfect.
Oh weird. Sorry, I've always put it in rest mode and not let it go into it.
Yeah, I realise I'm being inflammatory especially since TVs aren't cheap.
It's just frustrating that it's been a year and the odds are they'll never implement 1440p.
Damn, I guess that would make sense, lol.
Maybe the next big update will fix it, like the big one in Apr 2021 did for externals.
I considered the A90J but had to go with the G1 because Sony only provided one "useable" HDMI 2.1 port. I say "useable" because the second HDMI 2.1 port is also the eARC port so sending that back to my receiver means it is not useable as a source since my receiver is not HDMI 2.1 compliant and I have no need to replace it from an audio processing point of view.
I have the XSX and PS5 connected directly to the TV for HDMI 2.1 features and use the eARC port to send audio back, then all other devices are connected directly to the reciever.
this m2 implementation went pretty painless even from the earliest beta they released, among here. (compared to multiple external drive issues people were having at console launch, or some even still)
i would also try with another drive too. ( i assume its easier said than done)
VRR should be a thing by now. There's no excuse for an advertised feature to still be unavailable more than a year after launch.
The real kicker is that I don't even think they will add 1440p for even their next year's models.
Sony has this way of not supporting features that they believe aren't primarily for their Movie/TV-watching audience. So to them, TV is not broadcast in 1440p, movies aren't encoded n 1440p, so they won't support it.
The only reason they probably can't wriggle out of VRR support is that it's part of the complete HDMI 2.1 spec.
Christmas came early.

I wouldn't know about their tv's but seems that way based on some of the posts on the thread.
I wouldn't talk about wriggling out of anything, obviously it's in Sony's interests to have VRR as that will instantly benefit so many games and they would almost definitely have it on PS5 already if their TVs, which are very, very good in every other way in my experience, wouldn't have some serious problems implementing VRR also. VRR is already kinda niche feature for most console gamers as most probably don't even know what it is or care, but in comparison to 1440p support there's a massive demand for it, which still doesn't mean much.
Yep.
There is no reason you have to use vrr just because you are using hdmi 2.1
What I suspect is a far more likely option is that the Tv side of things are prepping new models with new marketing driven features.
VRR will be rebadged as "Dynamic Game Refresh" or something, so that They can put another badge on their box. They've done that with various other standard TV things and in lieu of anything meaningful they can add to a new Tv, they have to get creative.
A year later and still no 1440p.
I actually regret getting a PS5 now. Should've just saved my money.

By all means point me to all the sound engineers stepping up to say that Dolby absolutely got it wrong and they're incorrect about too many sound sources muddying the soundstage. I'd genuinely like to read their perspectives on it.

Yeah I had the Samsung QN90A and traded it for a X95J and I vastly prefer the Sony.
Sure Samsung has more features but their game mode is incredibly gimped. The local dimming is slow when transitioning between light and dark objects, blooming a lot more prevalent, black levels are lifted and look more greyish.
Local dimming works just the same in game mode as it does out of game mode on the Sony.
Dolby Atmos gaming doesn't exist as a thing - this is purely down to the windows APi that drives the only place Dolby is available - Windows and Xbox, having some limits on imposed on it by the Windows Spatial audio API.
Whilst the Audio professor itself maybe be efficient enough to encode HRTF effects to thousands of objects simultaneously, are developers going to want to spend the resources to track the position of thousands of sound objects simultaneously- either in memory or in hunan turn from placement?
Cerny gave the example of a rain storm- but can a normal human perceive difference in immersion between 1000 individually placed hrtf objects or 1000 hrtf placed objects mixed into a single track?
I guess Sony's solution allows for greater precision per person or to set it for headphones or different speaker setups - but I can understand why developers may not alllocate resources to it

this is such bullshit, too
hell, just let us opt in. i'll pay the fucking license fee if sony is too cheap
i'd rather pay a few bucks to unlock DV support on my ps5 than have to buy a standalone player
VRR is eventually coming.
Dolby Vision I don't think it ever will.
If you're talking about green screen of death, that's a hardware fault as per thread on front page.
Or is it some other issue?
