Oh it was probably a crap description of what happens — game doesn’t close the menu properly. Some UI remains, other bits don’t. But it thinks I’ve closed it, so I’m stuck. Hanging made it sound like a performance thing, which it isn’t. Seems to be a fairly common thing on Reddit etc - I’ll just avoid menus while I’m out exploring!

I really love this but crashes on PS5 are starting to be irritating. It’s always when I try to exit the menus back to a level, I still have cursor control but it hangs forever.

Just in case anyone was losing sleep, the 'weird noise' my PS5 was making turned out to be the external hard drive. Crisis averted.

To be fair I did just go order some rechargeable batteries on Amazon so however Bezos made this thread happen is working.

On the external storage front, is the xbox supposed to automatically delete the external version if you download an update to the S version (which it puts on the internal)? I think I've ended up with various duplicates, not sure if it's safe to delete them!

It’s not a huge problem — could’ve been there all along and I just never noticed. I definitely don’t need silence but just hope we don’t end up back in ‘Better not play Red Dead if it’s already hot in this room’

Mine from around launch is making a weird noise now — what I can only describe as a short gurgle in sleep mode every few minutes. Will give it a clean out/dust to see if that helps but for now I’m assuming it’s haunted.

Yeah I have all three powers so will bounce around to see if I can find some shrines/the other cool thing you mentioned! Loving it but not particularly great at it, so should probably go get all the extra help I can!

I guess I’m about 2/3 of the way through this and …

One thing on FH4 and the series s (which I’m loving for the loading alone): for whatever reason it hangs on the splash screen whenever I run it. Like, 4-5 minutes sometimes before it loads into the game. I’ve tried reinstalling but no luck — anyone had anything similar? Found some stuff on Reddit but it seems to be about a known issue that was patched.

It’s been nice hearing the series s positivity in here — ordered one to come at the weekend. Mainly because I had a JL gift card, but the odds of getting a series x we’re stacked against me. And I was getting sick of checking. Basically as long as it loads faster than the old Xbox disc-less thing I have, great! Would also be nice to say goodbye to stutter in Rock Band 4, but I get the impression that’s the game…

Yeah I have to join in the massively positive sentiment on this demo. I’ve played and loved handheld ones over the years, but had no idea how well it’d work with another player. It’s exceptional!

It’s been interesting starting over on ps5 — I’d always assumed my progress on Switch was really down to unlocks and upgrades but, no, I’m getting through it quicker. Turns out I actually did learn something!

I’d been meaning to get back to the Switch version so I could get the true ending. But the lure of 4K 60 on the PS5 means I’m starting fresh! It looks so, so pretty!

Yeah I don't think it's been this bad throughout -- sounds like a bit of a coincidence that I started looking during a long lull! Half tempted to just pick up an S because that seems to last a few hours when JL get stock, but I know I'll only want an X about a week later!
