I'm having technical issues on PS5

• Restart your internet router
  • Turning it off for 5-7 minutes, and then turning it back on is a common fix for connectivity issues on PS5
• Update the Game
  • Check for Updates:*Make sure the game is updated to the latest version. Developers frequently release patches to fix bugs and stability issues.
  • Highlight Helldivers 2 on the PS5 home screen, press the `Options` button, and select **Check for Update.
• Update Your PS5 System Software
  • System Update: Ensure that your PS5 is running the latest system software. Sony often releases updates that include performance improvements and bug fixes.
  • Go to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software.
• Clear Cache and Rebuild Database
  • Clear Cache: Restart your PS5 in Safe Mode and clear the system cache, which can sometimes resolve crashing issues.
  • Turn off your PS5 completely, then hold the power button until you hear a second beep (about 7 seconds). Connect your controller with a USB cable and select Clear Cache and Rebuild Database.
• Rebuild Database: This can fix any corrupted files or issues within the system software that might be causing crashes.
  • In the same Safe Mode menu, select Rebuild Database.
• Check for Corrupted Data
  • Delete and Reinstall the Game: Sometimes the game data can become corrupted, leading to crashes. Deleting and reinstalling the game can resolve this.
  • Go to Settings > Storage > Games and Apps, find _Helldivers 2_, and delete it. Then, reinstall it from your library.
• Check for Overheating
  • Ensure Proper Ventilation: Overheating can cause your PS5 to crash. Make sure your console has adequate ventilation and isn’t placed in a confined space. Clean any dust from the vents.
  • Use a Cooling Stand: Consider using a cooling stand if overheating seems to be an issue.
• Adjust In-Game Settings
  • Lower Graphics Settings: If the game allows you to adjust settings, try lowering them to reduce the strain on the system.
  • Disable HDR/4K: If you’re playing in 4K or with HDR enabled, try disabling these features to see if it improves stability.
• Check for External Conflicts
  • Disconnect External Devices: If you have any external devices connected (such as USB drives, external hard drives, or VR headsets), disconnect them to see if they’re causing conflicts.
• Turn Off Rest Mode: If your PS5 frequently crashes after Rest Mode, try disabling Rest Mode in the settings or fully shut down the console when not in use.
