Try everything. I once sent in a ps5 special edition that got cracked open and nothing was wrong. The only problem was I was sending hdr video through a psvr and it didn't like it. Console was fine.

The game Crash 4? Or the 4th crash?

Duuuh he sayd Crash 4 was flawless, what do you think?

 

[drotahorror]

I tried it again but lied and said it was shutting down due to overheating - still £240.

Clear the cache like some other posters have said!

 

[TheDreadLord]

My original Xbox360 had exactly this issue before showing the RLoD. Must likely that there is something off with the GPU.

How to clear the PS5 cache

1. Turn off your PS5. It should be fully turned off, not in Rest Mode.
2. Hold the power button on the PS5 until you hear a second beep. ...
3. Connect your controller using the USB cable.
4. Press the PS Button on the controller.
5. Use the D-pad to navigate down to “5. ...
6. Choose “1. ...
7. Select “OK.”

Been out watching City dick united today - will try all of this advice tomorrow when I’m supposed to be working (sorry Bo_Hazem )

 

[I'm nobody]

This happened to me I factory reset the console and it was fixed

So it’s a design flaw, so much better.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Banjo64 get cover with Domestic and General for your PS5. It'll set you back about £5 a month, but they'll either fix it with someone reputable or replace it.

 

[Majormaxxx]

that is why I keep the ps5 safe in its box ))

That's not a design flaw.

Huh? What are you doing?

 

[reinking]

First, I will need to know how many games you have purchased and platinumed before I can give you advice.

Warring as usual.

J jaysius do explain to the room how cache sometimes getting corrupted and needing to be cleared, is a “design flaw”…

I'm personally more interested in why anyone would think it's normal for this kind of artifacting to be caused by a bad cache.

Did you/someone stick a penis in it? If yes then it has probably been fucked.

Ask From, they developed the game. As for corrupted cache, it’s been a “normal” thing since the beginning of cached software time. And most common software issues are resolved by clearing the cache, wether it be individual apps, or OS level.

 

[Filben]

that is weird...
European Directive 1999/44/EC says all EU countries have to ensure a retailer could be held liable for all "non-conformities" which manifest within two years from delivery.

Thing is, here in Germany at least and for consumer products, after 12 months (6 months before 2022) you got to present evidence that there was already an issue with the product when you bought it (it is assumed that if something goes faulty within the first year there already had been an issue when the good was delivered unless it is an issue that is typical and/or by wear or in any other natural way to the good). To proof this, it is usually not practical without (expensive) assessment and in most cases not viable for the consumer.

Since 2022 this reprieve was increased from six to twelve months, so the first year the retailer/seller has the burden of proof and because it is for them just as difficult to proof that there was not any issue when they sold it, you typically have a replacement covered.

This law, however, follows the sales contract with the immediate selling party, so you would have to deal with the person/company that sold the console to you and you can't go to Sony directly (unless you bought it directly from them, of course).

So, in theory, there is a two years period, but practically it's hard to go through with it after reversal of the burden of proof after 12 months.

Caching errors are not the cause of the most common software issues. The most common cause of software issues are software defects not identified during the testing process. Clearing cache does not resolve software issues. It may temporarily rectify the error condition that triggers the bug, but if you don't fix the bugs in your software the cache will just become corrupted again at some point.

Having to clear cache is not normal. It's sometimes necessary for buggy software to make it work again, but corrupt storage is definitely not normal.

It’s still not a “design flaw,” which is attributed to hardware when mentioned more often than not. No amount of mental gymnastics will make that true.

 

[kapshin]

Any overheating issues?

It's a design flaw because caching are mad to self empty.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Making the optical drive act up when there is a caching issue IS a design flaw, one system should not impact the other.

What are you talking about? Optical drive?

 

[Gambit2483]

 

[jaysius]

Wrong thread on my part.

 

[Majormaxxx]

No overheating, no noise, no issues with the controller battery, no dust... It's pretty much a life hack. The downside is the box takes up space in the room

 

[PharaoTutAnchAmun]

It was a joke.

Oke that joke went waaay over my head

 

[Banjo64]

Update, clearing the cache seemed to rid me of the issues - I played for 3 hours before no problem.

Then started again a few hours later (right now) and the issues started again.

Sorry for my shitty ability to not link imgur correctly, but if this was a GPU issue would I be able to see through the artefact like this? Or does this suggest it’s just an Elden Ring issue?

Good question, artifacts looks mostly like this:

Looks like a graphics bug in the game itself.

Play another game (go for something that should push the system hard) for a couple of hours to see if you can reproduce the issue. If not then it's most likely a strange bug isolated to Elden Ring.

I’m a bit of a freak to be honest

I start a game, platinum it, start another, platinum it.

I don’t play any online games on PS, so my options are either play 2 or 3 hours of Horizon FW, pause it, then resume Elden Ring or download an old game that I’ve already platted like God of War and waste time for hours.

 

[lostinblue]

Those seem like pipeline artifacts.

Tends to happen with some GPU's when they get hot. It's a defect, basically they might function properly at first but then don't.
