Anybody experienced their screen going completely black for a second? It always seems to happen when I exit

the west door of the base.

Only during the initial intro which Sylens I believe narrates. It would go black every few seconds on my Pro connected to my Samsung QLED at certain points with the sound still playing. It hasn’t happened since.

The only issue I’ve really had that I can recall is that movie cutscenes are sometimes choppy on my Pro that has an SSD. Iirc the Pro and PS4 have actual videos for their cutscenes whilst the PS5 renders them in real time with the engine. Why they are randomly choppy I can’t make sense of.

Edit: The above for v1.04. Not got v1.05 yet.

Yeah had it a few times since the latest patch.

Gah, I can’t believe the PlayStation 5 still has to go through this 10 minute rigmarole of copying game patches!! It’s like being back on PS3.

unless it's doing some kind of xdelta patch instead of just replacing the files :confused:

Cerny said before launch that it wouldn't be necessary for updated files to be copied any more, so much for that.

I remember that getting said as well. Nice to see they've kept the worst feature of the PS4 :rolleyes:

I was having it on other areas during cut scenes before the patch. The most annoying part is the button prompts not always working at campfires. I've to wiggle about the fire to get them to work.

Yeah, same with cutscenes and the button UI - they don't appear in the skills menu sometimes.

Should we be able to fast travel between campfires without using a fast travel pack or is it bugged?

As long as you've discovered them you just press O for free fast travel BUT you have to be at a campfire to fast travel to another one.

OneConnect box? My Samsung Ks7000 was terrible for it with HDR on devices running through it, had to turn HDR off in the end.

Yeah it is the Q90R. It’s mostly used for Sky/AppleTV 4K stuffs as the PS4 Pro hasn’t seen any use on this set.

The one connect box has been rock solid though.

I used to get black screen on KS7000, sometimes long distances apart, other times every minute or so. That was on PS4, as soon as I happened on PS5, I used it as an excuse to bin off the TV and get an LG CX.

What the hell is this crap. I’ve got a short time to play before a meeting and it takes an age to update just 400mb.

Yeah I had it on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X on both KS7000 and KS7500, also upgraded to LG OLED and never had the issue since including on PS5

Just finished the intro and game has opened up a bit, platforming seems annoying/clumsy but hopefully I get used to it! Enjoying otherwise.

I had to change the PS4's MTU to 1472 for much better speeds.

1.05 has broken my game. Trying to load a save or start a new game shutsdown the console.

Yikes not good. Going to park this one for a while I think. Got enough going on anyway and Elden Ring on Friday. I’ll put it on the to do list.

WTF? Got home and installed the update and it powered my console off and would t power back on for a couple of times then came up with Repairing Console Storage! And it now has come up with Repairing USB drive

Yup same thing mine did, I've just finished re-installing and repatching the game. Save now loaded correctly.

ZXSpectrum · 23 Feb 2022 at 19:41

Didn’t have to do any of that it started back up and seems to work ok.

Kainz · 23 Feb 2022 at 19:55

Patch applied just fine here.
Went into my first story cauldron - that boss dropped fast as hell (normal) once I used its own weapon on it. I was rather surprised.
