PS5 - Crash issue.

[nugget80]

Yes!!! It is the most irritating issue!!! Playing along and then just the hard crash every couple of hours! I’m on PS5 of course, and I have not seen a change to the crash frequency since launch. It’s so frustrating because it’s so disruptive.

Simply put they should of delayed it. I remember the good old days when Cartridge games cost like £60 i.e. N64 but then they had to put so much testing as back then there was no ability to patch games after release. This was why cartridge games were so expensive. But the games for PC were £30, internet to patch it so didn't have to test them as much.

I don't really care about losing £50 or fact I've got a confirmed refund. Just principle of it. It was never the content I had problem with as at least that can change over time whilst I am playing, it was the crashing even on a PS5.

Even Ubisoft games work from Day One and stable on all 3 different game engines (I think) they use for their games.

Witcher 3 I played preload soon as it activated and zero crashes finished it in 2 weeks play.

Ubisoft is perfect on day one? Someone has forgotten about "Assassin's Creed: Unity"

And for the record, checking the crash log i had 21 crashes in 80+ hours with the ps5... so averaging 1 every 4 hours or so... for me it seems to primarily happen when driving and an autosave is triggered

I was referring to Ubisoft games recently released. Watch Dogs Legion and AC Valhalla, at least they worked from day one.

I started playing them on PS4 then once I received PS5 the game saves carried over fine to finish the campaign. No crashes and smooth experience.

People say Witcher 3 had lots of problems and needed time to fix. But actually v 1.0 worked fine and I finished the story in less than 2 weeks before even patches finished coming out. No issues on a PS4, never even crashed which made the game even more amazing whilst visually looking great.

My only advice to people is to stop playing the game until fixed as it will just cause frustration of interruption every time it crashes. If people still feel ripped off paying full price but still want to play then take up refund offer and get physical copy off eBay. I got mine for £14 as seller lost receipt for refund. Lots are on eBay in my region.

£14 for preowned disc I feel as though I got very good value from playthrough already and will keep save files for future DLC.

"Assassin's Creed: Unity" did not crash every two hours. Yes, low FPS and bugs but not crash.
