PS5 Troubleshooting Thread

app works, most folks actual console PSN is down.
Should be temporary. And i expect another stability patch before the year is over.
If that's a PS5 capture then check your game settings. What do you have brightness and contrast set to? Could maybe be your HDR settings too.
Was having all the external storage issues, someone recommended switching to the USB-C port on the front and so far it seems to have done the trick. Everything is running from my portable SSD without issues, rest mode seems to be fine, performance all good, etc.
Yeah I can hear the fan clearly when there's no music from basically anywhere in the room. It's definitely not silent, it's "quiet enough that the TV should drown it out" which is fine but not amazing. The PS3 was still quieter than this.
Shocked we didn't get one this week but I expect a few more before the years over.
Hey all. I'm looking for troubleshooting with an hdmi issue. The PS5 runs fine on my TVs. When I try it on my projector I'm getting no signal from the hdmi. I can't use the 2.1 cable that comes with it because it's a 30ft run under my house. For a split second I'll get an image when it's booting in recovery mode but then it loses signal again. Is there a setting I can turn off in the console or projector to get it to sync?
same thing...getting some weird problem when trying to download save...in fact, it kept prompting me to subscribe to plus even though i'm already on it.
i think another firmware update is incoming.
Are you able to set it to 1080p output?
Maybe also disable HDR.
I have only heard the disc drive and vibrations (before I sat it on a mouse at) I have to get virtually on top of the system to hear the fan and only then when I start a game. From 7ft away I can't hear a thing other than the disc drive
I have Monster Hunter World installed on the internal drive, with about 230GB of free space.
The game is refusing to install/download the latest update, it gives an error but doesn't tell me what exactly went wrong.
I'm moving it to external to see if it updates from there.. what could this be?
Edit: It installed immediately after moving to external. I feel like there is a bug here.. I moved this game from external to internal when I got the PS5. Maybe the updates are still going to the external location, and it bugs out because the game was moved?
That's what this feels like anyway.

They are default (50). I left all game settings on default.
And if the HDR settings for my TV make the game output something this dark, then something is wrong with how the game interprets the OS HDR calibration values.
And eta for the next system update that can hopefully squash a majority of these error codes people keep experiencing?
Wonder if others have experienced this abnormal notification. You're minding you're own business in a game and the system says that it can't validate your license for the game you're playing and that it will close in 15 min. I got this at some random point so i just closed the game and opened it again, didn't get it again so far. Then my friend got this message last week, same game. Then another friend got it on Warframe (F2P game), diff game. That last one didn't heed the warning and the system did indeed kick him off. I believe we are all not set to primary on our systems.
This was never an issue on PS4 for me unless PSN was acting up or my internet cut off which validating the licenses issue is expected to happen and is normal.
Anyone else see this?

I was getting this last night. In response I tried to restore my licenses, and part way through restoring them it said the database was corrupted and then rebuilt the database. After that I was briefly able to get into my cloud saves, but when I tried again 90 minutes later it was telling me to buy PS+ again.
Demon's Souls locked up on me for the first time (disc). I thought I was fucked but after trying to use activity cards to warp to another world, it eventually resolved itself.
I have had my PS5 since launch day and it worked perfectly for the first few days. Suddenly, the homescreen and UI became incredibly laggy/unresponsive. Controller inputs either do not register or take a while and visually the homescreen lags. Whats weird is that restarting the console fixes this issue but as soon as I put it into rest mode and then wake it, the problem returns. I have also been updating firmware as soon as I can in the hope that this is solved. When I installed the most recent update, the lag was gone for a couple days and then returned. It's really annoying me now.
Another issue I encountered occurred when playing Miles Morales. I had just finished the
and my screen turned black and my monitor blasted out a super loud high pitched noise. Genuinely made me jump and I had to pull out my monitor's power adapter.

I had this yesterday. I restored my licenses and it fixed the issue for me.
My PS5 is pretty much useless at this point. Every single game, PS4 and PS5 will crash with the 108255-1 error. Been on the phone with Sony for a long time over the last 2 weeks. I've tried everything that they have suggested and that I have seen online but no luck.
My case was taken out of the queue for some unknown reason so it's been reescalated so I'm still waiting for someone to get back to me. So frustrating.
I've been getting
I only have Demon's Souls and it's the only disc that has been in the drive and when I plop it out and back in again it works fine. So more a small annoyance than anything else, just want to make sure it isn't indicative of any larger issue?
Message probably every other time I start my console

I ask because I noticed after plugging mine in last night the UI became slower and like you stated laggy button presses.
You have an external drive connected? I've heard of this happening when the system boots with both an external drive hooked up, and a disc in the Blu-ray drive. It seems to be able to do either/or, it doesn't like doing both on bootup.
Yea, that could be it. Weird. Oh well. Not too fussed. It's likely going to be my only disc game.
I recently described having this problem, only when I start up the ps5 with both a disc inside and my external hdd attached. With this combo it will give that error every single time. Having the Hdd attached on booting up also causes a full system crash about half the time so I started unplugging the hdd after turning the ps5 off and plugging it back in after starting it up. This has stopped the disc error and the crashing, but is inconvenient.
Just had my first hard crash in demons souls which caused the system to lock up the other day, had to 'rebuild database' and it said my DS save was corrupted, but it fixed it and loaded anyway. Scary shit, the stability of this system seems suspect given the length of this thread.
Have a digital console, no drives attached and haven't had one the whole time. So, none of the shit people have said does it.

Same exact thing happened to me, digital edition never hooked up an external yet, never used rest mode. Though the hard lock happened like a week ago just wanted to share my experience.
Try to use the front USB-C port to see if that resolves the issue. I ended up doing that and now I don't have any disc errors upon boot up.
That just happened to me a short while ago. The screen went black after repairing the external HDD and the system flashed blue, with nothing happening for several minutes. After a few minutes I pressed the power button at the front of the console and it went into rest mode, it then turned on normally (after rebuilding the database). Hopefully your friend's PS5 will do the same.
Lovely, MW 2019 disc version just uninstalled itself apparently. Now I have to re-download a crapload of GB. I guess I'll keep the disc in until I'm completely done with the game.
Press and hold the power button on the console for several seconds should hopefully fix it.
I wouldn´t recommend using external drives at all atm...it can cause crashes, instabilities and other issues.
Thanks the hold power button trick worked after fiddling with it for 30 minutes(guess he was putting it in standby before)
Was just about to ask about if it was safe to use an external after this. I also have another buddy using one(also by my recommendation...) and want to know if I should warn him as well.
I have recently plugged my 2TB my passport ultra back in and so far I have not had an issue, one thing I will say is I try not to download and install anything when playing a game and so far not had any more crashes.
Other peoples experience may vary, but I avoid rest mode.
I have ghosts installed on a external on the ps5. It won't install the update. Anyone have a fix for this ?
Every time I wake my ps5 from rest mode it hangs on the demon souls splash screen. Takes a full turning off on again to get it to load. Strange. Can't wait for an OS patch to fix issues like this
It's been advised since the PS5 release to avoid using rest mode for the time being at least by people on forums.
Is there any issue with anyones friends list and store again right now ? Just like a few days ago, it is now not loading for me. Not even the PS5 store.
