Flashing lights on main menu

  1. So I just downloaded battlefront 2 on the ps5 and it started up just fine but when it got to the main menu of the game hundreds of horizontal flashes of green, red, and copper appeared all over my screen and don't go away. I have uninstalled the game, changed HDMI, switched from digital to physical copy, moved from my external to my ps5 hard drive, and even restarted my router just to make sure it wasn't a connection issue but still the same problem.

    sounds like something is up with your PS5 graphics chip, like its overheating...

    or the HDMI port (on either end) may be flaking out

    @DarthFDG That's what I thought but it only happens with battlefront 2 no other games flicker or bug out.

    I had a similar experience on my PC - only one game was having the issue. However, it was because my graphics card had too much dust on it. :0  Once I got the dust off the card's fan, the game worked fine. So, apparently, that game was causing the card to heat up more than others.

    @DarthFDG my ps5 doesn't really even heat up when I load the game, if it really was my hardware I'm sure that other games would struggle even a little bit.
