Re: How to Use an External Hard Drive on PS5

Here’s an interesting one:

I have a 1TB Crucial MX500 SSD, decided to use it for PS4 game storage on the PS5.

Plugged into the back of the PS5 along side the Pulse 3D headset dongle (prefer it plugged in the back out of the way), well on voice chat my mate was getting terrible interference and drop outs on our chat.
I put the Pulse dongle in the front of the PS5- and the problem went away. My SSD was in a 2.5” caddy enclosure.

I sent back the enclosure and bought a simple Sata cable for the SSD, plugged it in the back of the PS5 alongside the Pulse 3D and the problem went away 👍🏻

Sounds like my caddy was somehow interfering with the dongle in the next USB at the back.

Sorry for the waffle, but this may help someone out 🤔

Make sure auto cloud updates are off, that way if the stoopid game messes your save up you can go back to your last one!
Just backup each time you finish playing, silly thing is the PS4 Pro version was fine... apart from major screen tearing before the update

A lot!

Crashed around 10 times in 6 hours play after the latest update, then corrupted my save so I had to start again. (TWICE!) .. 6 of the trophies are unobtainable too, check them out on PSProfiles

Mine is in the bin🥲

This game has broken trophies on PS5, when they are supposed to pop they crash the PS5 and sometimes corrupt your save for you... happened twice to me before I checked PS Profiles to find not one person in the world has the platinum, as it is bugged......

Re: Some PS5 Owners Can't Upgrade PS4 Copies of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion

As I posted in another thread:

I have a PS5 console and the PS4 disc version of Valhalla.... well a few days ago people were getting the free PS5 upgrade, not anymore!
It is bugged out and I have been playing the PS4 version on a PS5.
On Reddit it says the only way to fix this is sign up with a Turkish account, then you can upgrade... what a PITA
Will test and report back... in the UK by the way.

The above worked for me, but only by creating a Turkish account 🤔

Tried both UK and USA accounts and a clean install, no go.
