  • Weird question because I’ve been battling the same kind of issue, but do you use an external USB hard drive with your PS4?

  • No external hard drive in the system. The only thing I have changed is installed a new SSD about 4 months ago due to the original one failing.

    Dang. I was hoping that was my issue, but maybe not. It's such an inconsistent problem. I've purchased two new controllers and they work for about a month, then start having the same issue. Like you I have no problem in other games. Interestingly enough, I get the same crazy drift issue when playing Titanfall 2, which most of this game is based on.
