Warframe makes my PS4 freeze, is this a known issue?
Warframe makes my PS4 freeze, is this a known issue?
Anyone?
Hmm my PS4 seems to be overheating a lot. I moved it to a completely open area but if it happens again I'll probably have to call Sony and ask to replace the thermal paste or something with the fan as everything else about the console works perfectly.
The area I had it before was open and had good air flow. I was playing Resogun for about 1 hour before it beeped and shutdown on me. It got really loud too. I'm hopeing its just a fan problem that can be solved without replacing the entire console.
Yup seen lots of complaints about it.
I had this happen today. My setup is such: 360 connected to TV via HDMI, PS4 connected to TV via HDMI. TV optical out to receiver. 360 was on first and then I switched to PS4. No audio on PS4. I assume because the receiver prioritized the 360. I switched back to the PS4 input on the TV, shut off the receiver and turned it back on and it gave priority for audio to PS4.
You need to return that PS4. I've played for hours at a time without it getting very warm.
Your system is clearly trying to play speech through a nonexistent center channel. I assume you lack a surround sound setup?Tried detaching and reattaching the HDMI cable, but I'm still only getting music and sound effects and NO SPEECH. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I've tried different HDMI cables and ports, and I've changed the settings on the PS4 a few times, and this problem keeps happening. I can hear speech in games via the headphones, but not through the television. I'd think that if there was an actual sound problem, it would affect all the sound, not just the speech in games. Right now, I have to play everything via headphones or else I can't hear anyone talking (and I'm not referring to voice chat; I am specifically having no in-game dialogue in cutscenes and through NPCs).

Recommended Power-up sequence to reduce HDCP / HDMI Handshake problems - Also used when changing or connecting HDMI sources, distribution equipment or displays
1. Power-off all equipment (At the wall socket).
2. Ensure all Cables, Splitters, Switches, Extenders are connected within the HDMI Distribution Network.
3. Power on all Splitters, Switches, Extenders within HDMI Distribution Network.
4. Power on all displays and set to HDMI input from HDMI Distribution Network (Source device need to be able to contact display to retrieve EDID information)
5. Power on Sources / Players. Ensure that a path is open from source to display for HDCP handshake negotiation by selecting the proper input on HDMI Switches or HDMI switch/splitter combo's via the remote control (Sources negotiates HDCP Handshake via HDMI Network to displays which is set to HDMI input to respond to handshake).
Some displays will negotiate HDCP handshake / timing better if the source are already powered on and you may need to change points 3,4,5 above to 4,3,5 or 4,5,3 depending on your equipment.
NBA 2k14 made my PS4 freeze a few times today. I tried to buy some players for street mode and it would freeze trying to communicate with the 2K servers. Scared the crap out of me as I had to hard reset a couple of times.
I'm still waiting on my PS4 but this problem also could exist on PS3 if you didn't manually select the proper audio output.I do; it is only stereo. The strangeness is that sometimes audio comes through, sometimes it doesn't. Maybe it is because during missions that dialogue is done in non surround sound? Is there something I can change on the PS4 to ameliorate this?
Are you completely shutting down or just putting it in standby.
When I completely shut it down/boot it up I get a somewhat loud single click, then the fan kicks in.
I was thinking about taking advantage in this recent Best Buy deal. Trade your working ps3 (or 360) in for a $100 gift card (all parts included). Deal ends this Saturday, at least around where I live.
This question has probably been asked a million times already, but at this point, I don't know if there is a way around it or an answer coming in the future.
Can you transfer and/or use PS3 saves on a PS4?
I don't like the idea of formatting my PS3 and losing all of those save files before giving it up to Best Buy. Too much time and effort went into those saves, so what are my options? I understand that PS+ allows you to upload your save data to the cloud, but if I do so, can I retrieve those save files and download them to my PS4?
OR, is the "Backup Utility" feature in the PS3 System Settings another option? It says I can back up things like saved data, imgs, music, etc on to a compatible USB Drive, but can I then hook that USB Drive up to a PS4 and upload all that backed up data there?
I'd prefer the latter option, because i don't own PS+ right now. I don't plan on buying it until I purchase a PS4 when Destiny comes out next year. So, buying PS+ just for my "save" files seems a little extreme. And I don't even know what happens to your cloud saves when the subscription ends. Say I buy the cheapest/shortest subscription to PS+ and upload everything. Will it delete all of those files when my sub runs out?
Also, I would like to know if next-gen games in the future will benefit from previous saves. Like Dragon Age Inquisition. Didn't Bioware say they were working on a solution for transferring your save files? Same deal with Blizzard. Aren't PS3 saves going to transfer to the PS4 version of Diablo 3?
Other people with your problem have fixed it by updating their tv firmware.
Edit: does the ps4 make a weird ticking sound when its restarting or something while updating . I heard it few times while it update restarting the console
Is there a way to reset the system without unplugging it? And does Blacklight Retribution suffer the same problem?
Yeah that's normal it's just the hard drive.
Hold down the power button for 7+ seconds. And yes blacklight and a few other games are also causing crashes.
how about when you put in the blue and it goes to the game. do you hear the sound of the blue ray spinning fast for like few seconds ? after that i hear nothing . dead quite.
I just boot up my PS4 for the first time. White light = normal or faulty? Things seems to be fine so far. I'm just paranoid since I got this from Amazon, please give me an answer anyone? xD
what firmware? DL the latest
purchased from where? Amazon
what is your A/V set up like? 46 inch plasma 1080p
what resolution do you want to output in? 1080p
were you able to get any video signal or none at all? yes

I just started installing killzone and my ps4 is emitting a horrible and unnatural buzzing noise. Is thing normal? I have it on a flat surface.

You can be one of the 98% with no issues at all ;PI'm actually getting scared getting one next month..
That might be true but I'm importing so if it goes bad.. It really goes bad..You can be one of the 98% with no issues at all ;P
There have been several issues reported, which leads us to believe there isnt a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of PS4 units, a Sony representative tells Game Informer. We also understand that some units were reportedly damaged during shipping. The number of affected PS4 systems is less than 1%, which represents a very small percentage of total units shipped to date and is within the expected range for a new product introduction. We understand the frustration of consumers that have had a problem and are working with them and our retail partners to help troubleshoot issues and ensure affected units are exchanged
SCEA is exchanging units with new replacements for those who call our support line, he says. The exchanges are immediate with expedited shipping.
Oh, ok. I understand. But hey, think positiveThat might be true but I'm importing so if it goes bad.. It really goes bad..

My PS4 is going in for replacement today. My issue hasn't been like what I've seen others report. I think I got a faulty power supply on mine. It just shuts down randomly. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after 30-40 minutes, but usually in the first few minutes. It'll hang, then power off. I tried two outlets, plugging it into a UPS that regulates voltage, I tried two hard drives, I tried reflashing the firmware and replacing the OS (on the 2nd HD of course), nothing remedied it so I got Sony Support on their live chat yesterday and they're sending me a coffin.
Here's what mine does (51s video)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab7DJthrB5c
Have you checked the PlayStation website for extended warranty information yet? I'd start there, personally.I want to get the Sony extended warranty through the psn store, but if I do it will be tied to that console and is nontransferable should I exchange this ps4 at the store I purchased it from.
Right as of now everything seems to be running fine, no hardlocks, no freezing, etc., but I am wondering what I should watch/listen for?
Is there anything I may not be noticing that is an indication of potential issues?
Any advice or help anyone can offer me would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this natural. I don't think it is, but I thought I'd post here first.
