Heads up...Probably not a good idea to put PS5 on rest mode with Spider Man Remastered running

Haven't noticed any issues with rest mode yet, but I did have the "Sorry a System Software error occurred" while playing Mile Morales. When I launched the game again it continued right where it left off (even mid-dialogue so I assume the game was just suspended)
I had one other crash that was a more typical game crash while playing MM. Relaunching the game just continued at my last autosave.

System was kinda freezing or non-responsive. Its a NVME in an enclosure but a kinda obscure company.
I have used Rest Mode with Astro's Playroom and God of War with no issue, but I am not going to try anything like this with Miles or any other more demanding PS5 games until some sort of firmware update comes out.
Just got my PS5. Has this been patched? Also is the issue only with Spider-Man Remastered? I have Miles and Demon's Souls.
Seems like most Spider-Man related issues are due to fidelity mode- go with performance mode to be safe...
Miles has some bad crashes, but I think whether or not it becomes a serious issue depends on what is happening in the background when it crashes
This is the first I've heard this theory. Where did you see that?
I asked multiple people on multiple threads which mode they were playing when it crashed. Obviously small sample size and not super accurate but everyone I asked said they fidelity mode when they crashed
Small sample size, but my only issue I've had was on fidelity.
LOL, I mean...the guy was probably telling people that because they were getting phone calls about it.
I remember thinking that ^^^ the first time I saw the post about him/her saying that.
They weren't just pulling it out of their butt.
Sounds to me that it's more likely that more people are just playing on fidelity mode and thus more crashes are occurring in this mode.
Edit: To add further anecdotal context, i finished the entire game on fidelity and experienced no crashes.
I was playing earlier today and didn't put it in rest mode, but I paused the game and came back a little while later to it totally frozen. Has to restart the system and it did the database thing. All seems good thankfully, just curious if anyone else has had it happen just from sitting on pause.
that is very well possible, in my case I played most of the game in performance. Either way, sounds like thats not the problem.
My thoughts exactly. It's the same thing as blaming rest mode and wired LAN. They are just too common among all users to prove a causative correlation. So far the only mitigating action I've taken is closing Spider-Man completely before entering rest mode
My system completely shut down when I was playing in performance mode.
I don't want to jinx it, but after the system update I played over an hour of Miles Morales and a couple of hours of Cold War multiplayer with no issues so far.
Yup hard a hard crash and the system needed to repair when playing miles morales. Also had to repair after putting the game into rest mode with miles morales.
I've been using rest mode for the last two days but I don't use it with a game running. Haven't had a single issue with my console so far.
I know Insomniac said the were looking into it but has there been any update since then? I wonder if a fix will come with the save transfer patch that's supposed to be coming.
I'm not sure this was ever a thing to begin with. I certainly never saw any sort of confirmation. I think people assumed these games were causing issues because they were some of the most popular launch games.
I mean I have played a lot of games on the PS5 and Miles Morales was the only one that made my PS5 shut down completely, i've literally had zero issues otherwise.
Anecdotal, but I put both Miles Morales and SM: Remastered into rest mode since launch and never had a crash, and I'm using an external SSD and a LAN cable as well.
COD: Cold War did that to me (twice) but I've never had it happen in either Miles or SM: Remastered.
Thanks guys, I started Spider-Man remastered and while my PS5 hasn't shut down itself yet, I just had the first crash with this game. I've played through demons souls two times already without issues, so I guess there's something going on with spiderman/mm that still needs to be fixed via patches
Edit: ok the PS5 locked up pretty hard, only way to turn it off was unplugging it. Playing in fidelity mode in case it's noteworthy. No external hdds.
Game -or something the game does that other games don't- is definitely fucked. Never had an issue with demons, astro or PS4 games. Spider-Man remastered is the first to completely lock up my console.
