PS5 Hard Crash

Hi everyone. Anyone else experiencing hard crashes on the PS5? I can play about maybe an hour before the console totally shutting down. I've tried restoring licenses, deleting and re-installing, clearing the console cache and also rebuilding the PS5 database. Nothing works. The console doesn't feel like its overheating, because honestly it gets hotter playing games like Destiny 2. The game is crashing while playing on both Performance and Fidelity mode. The crash also only happens when playing Veilguard, doesn't happen for any other game. 

Any help is appreciated. Dev's planning a fix for this?

Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem. It doesn't seem to be a heat issue because the whole PS5 is cool to the touch, and the fans aren't laboring. And it's not a dust issue, because my PS5 is clean inside. Sometimes it hard crashes during a cut scene, sometimes during regular play. Yesterday evening it happened while I was paused. This isn't an issue with any of my other games.

    Fingers crossed we get a fix soon.

    Just happened to me as well. Booted up the siege mission and make it past opening the gate and my system completely shuts off. It was fine until this moment.

  • I've been having issues with freezing/crashing since it released. I can't even play bc how often I experience it.

  • Same here on Xbox Series X. And I've spoken with a handful of other people directly that have also had the same issue.

    None of the proposed "fixes" have worked.

    Things tried:

    Full uninstall/reinstall

    Delete local saves

    Restart characters

    Turn off internet

    Turn off "Capture Mode" on console

    Play with headphones instead of soundbar

    Play in fidelity mode

  • Same here. Been having issues since launch and won't go into it. This needs a fix but BioWare hasn't even acknowledged the problems.

    Havent been able to play at all, it just crashes when I try to start the game.

  • EA_Illium replied to a DM I had on this issue.

    I detailed what was happening and that it is still happening.

    I asked them to comment/post in one of these threads so people were aware it's being investigated+they can give more information if needed.
