There is nothing more annoying than coming across a game that until that moment had worked wonderfully, but suddenly starts doing strange things. And in the case of consoles it is particularly infuriating because almost all the origins of these problems are far from our hands, we cannot intercede to solve them because unlike the PC, it is not possible to delve into the operating system and check what is happening . What is included PS5 when errors occur.
On PS5, a failure can only be due to two things: or Sony released an update patch that causes errors, or is the game developer causing the bugs? insects. And as we told you above, the worst thing of all is that in both cases we will not be able to do anything but watch with our arms crossed for someone to intervene. And that is what is happening now, namely that all the potential of the machine is not being used for much.
Final Fantasy XVI and errors on PS5
For the past few days, some users have been reporting on forums like Reddit that their PS5 showed a cloud of black squares while playing with it Final Fantasy XVI. Something that had never happened before and that was particularly modest when choosing to enjoy the performance mode of Square’s JRPG. So obviously, many turned to the software publisher to ask for explanations and, in turn, they turned their heads to Sony. For obvious reasons.
These reasons were none other than last week, on September 13, the Japanese released a new update to the PS5 operating system and with this patch the problems arose. Final Fantasy XVI. And not just about this title, other players have also commented on similar graphical issues in Star Wars Outlaws and in Fatal groundingalthough the list could grow considerably in the coming hours (remember that you already have it ready on PC).
Furthermore, these problems of Final Fantasy XVI They are closely related to the gaming sessions we perform after loading a previously saved game, to which Square has already responded that it is working with Sony to find out what happened. “Following the recent release of the PlayStation 5 system update, we have received reports of game crashes and graphical issues. […] We are currently working with Sony Interactive Entertainment to investigate and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Please look forward to our further updates.
Meanwhile, the community is looking for temporary fixes
Although it is unclear what is happening, it seems that the origin of the problems could lie in the game’s visualization types in PS5so some have reported that changing this option to take advantage Final Fantasy XVI andIn performance mode and enabling quality, all problems end. So what we recommend is to touch in the (limited) graphics options until you see it disappear: try changing performance to quality, or the resolution itself to see if it is temporarily removed.
Unfortunately, the final solution will not be available until Sony Release a patch for the system update on the 13th.
