Gaming PlayStation 5

Prior to what the internet would lead you to believe rest mode has had no issues at all. I didn’t transfer any PS4 data and always exit the game before putting it into rest mode.
Well that’s defeating the point then surely? The main reason to have it on rest mode is so you can instantly turn on the console and jump straight back into the game where you left off.

Not with the speeds in which it boots in to a game cold. The main reasons are downloading games and updates while not using it and charging the controller (although I’ve got the charging dock so that one I’m not bothered about). Think the “quick resume” if you will Is nice to have but not essential so until it’s fixed, I’ll be doing the same and closing games.

I thought it was more so that i don't have to wait 4 hours for that ridiculous 60gb cod patch as its already downloaded it in rest mode while i'm at work. I can happily deal with the 20 seconds it takes to put a disk in and load up my game.

Plus i don't have to get up to turn the thing on.

Okay fair point that’s another advantage and I can’t speak yet to the rapid ps5 load times. I’m just used to picking up right where I left off on PS4 so it will be a backwards step for me if they don’t get rest mode working as well as that.

Yeah all good points and you are right I use rest mode for those things too. I do think it’s useful though being able to jump right where you left off especially if you do that mid mission or something which can happen.

That feature caused so many issues with me, audio sync issues, framerate issues that i never used it.

The idea is fantastic but it was too buggy in ps4 for me, looks like the issues have never been solved.

Really? I can honestly say in my whole 7 years with the PS4 I never encountered an issue. I have it on all the time! Didn’t even know people had issues.

Same. I've used rest mode for ps4 since it launched and never once across two ps4 consoles had a single issue with it.

Been using it with ps5 so far constantly and it's working perfectly for me so far. I've used it with ps4 games still running and with Astro and Bugsnax, again, zero issues.

Ahh that’s good to hear. I’m reluctant to treat my PS5 any differently to how I want to use it. If that causes issues so be it but I’d rather find out my console is faulty while it’s under warranty. I suspect for the majority there will be no issues at all and it will work as intended. People are probably being over cautious.
 
Sick of the sight of stock informer
 
Major crash on the PS5 just now, this fecking thing is broken :lol:

Sound, but grey screen with occasional little colours. I reckon it's the HDMI output to the tv, good news is if it's what I think it is then it could be a software fix. I had to pull the plug on both the unit and my TV to get it back working.
 
35 seconds on this one. Ranked 514 in the world, christ knows how to shave another 5 seconds off to get top spot.



Mate that is well impressive

I am so bad at the ball / touchpad controls. For me, even astro fails to make good on the touchpad.

But seems your subtle touch works a dream.

I thought I was doing well on the monkey level until I saw the world record was something like 18 seconds

at least yours turns on, the one I got for my brother bizarrely didn't even have a power cable in the box :lol: He had to use his old PS Vita cable, I guess it finally game in useful for something.
 
Anyone else take an embarrasingly long time to work out that monkey climb speedrun one required the delicate trigger squeezes to be able to use the handholds that break easily?

I was swearing my head off for a good few minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't use them without them breaking.

I felt so daft once I realised

Yep took me about 3 attempts for the penny to drop.

Mind if I add you? I’m enjoying competing for top spot on these runs, what’s your time on the ice one? I’m about 39.5 on it I believe.
 
Hmmm, think I'm gonna disable rest mode until Sony confirm what the issue is and whether it can be patched. Certainly seems to be the starting point for most of these crashes.
 
So I'm looking for a PS5, of any stock turns up then holla! Any good links/resources? @Bojan11

For anyone interested an update on my Amazon order: it got updated to undeliverable today, and when I contacted them they said it was 'damaged' and offered a refund. After I exploded and cursed them out they offered a £15 voucher as if that cuts it.

Clearly the PS5 was stolen, I wish I snatched that driver of of his seat and fecked him now... Hindsight. Also, clearly Amazon would rather lie, inconvenience and fob people off rather than deal with these issues properly.
 
Had an issue coming out of rest-mode today. The home screen was duplicated top and bottom, all green and no sound but there was response from the controller, though I didn't hang about long enough to do much or to take a picture with my phone. A regular reboot fixed it.

Rest-mode has been fine whenever I have put it into rest mode myself. This happened when I left the console to go into rest-mode itself for the first time. Not sure if this is a coincidence.

Think I will hold off on using rest-mode for now.

I had a look at his trophies and I surprisingly can say he’s a pretty good gamer. Better than me when it comes to completing everything.

@afrocentricity no news yet. But people were saying something might happen this week. Series X sold out fast today and I expect PS5 to be even faster. But any stock coming now will probably be after the 15th December that most retailers are giving for preorders last week.

Added.

Anyone know if there is a custom list functionality on PS5? On PS4 I had a section just for the people I added from the caf.

Not noticed it if there is, seems like parties are the only grouping right now. That itself is pretty clunky, takes far too many actions to start or leave a party.
