Paperclyp Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Almost a year in and they are aggressively making sure their 500 dollar PS4 game player can’t even handle being in rest mode 50 percent of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 If you must know… I would say about 50 percent of the time I come back to my PS5 after being in rest mode it has shut itself down as if the power has gone out, I have to hard reboot and then it scolds me for not shutting it down properly. It seemed to get better several months back and now it has started doing it again in the past 4-5 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It's still in beta, give it time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I always shut it down all the way (unless I know I’m coming back in a few hours) as I’m unsure if the initial rest mode issues at/near launch were ever fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I shut it completely down as well (just like I do with my PC) because I really have limited faith in the PS5's (barely) beta-stage OS to not seriously mess something up when put into Rest mode.

Mr.Vic20 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I shutdown all of my electronic gaming devices when not using them because they are energy hogs even in sleep mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I shut everything down completely. I don't mind the extra boot-up time. Gives me a few minutes to take a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nublood Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Never happened to me....yet. But I've had numerous other problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Same. I always fully close the game and shut the system off when I’m done. Games load so fast now I don’t mind rebooting every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 I’m just so in the habit of doing rest mode. I’m gonna try to break that habit but it’s absurd that it’s an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 i put it in rest mode. if something bad happens so be it. shutting it down all the way every time feels too inconvenient to me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 50% of the appeal of the Switch is that I can just put it to sleep at any arbitrary point in a game and reliably come back and pick it up right where I left off.

Dodger Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Every other time I use my PS4 super pro the controller won’t pair when I go to turn it on and I have to go hard reset it to get it to work. I’d play the thing more if this wasn’t constantly happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it's always days or weeks between me turning my PS5 on, so maybe length of time has something to do with it. EVERY time I turn the damn thing on from "sleep" mode I get the obnoxious error about shutting it down correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play mine in waves, so while I do go long times between those waves (4-6 weeks), I typically will play nightly during the wave and it still does it every time 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaxick Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I've always just shut mine down simply because I'm not a fan of the rest lights on consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
