Console Fix FAQ

How do I fix a PS5 game that keeps crashing after an update?

Start with the 5-step quick troubleshooting: close and reopen the game, rebuild the PS5 database in Safe Mode, clear the game cache, check for system software updates, and reinstall the game if needed. See our per-game crashing-freezing-fix pages for targeted steps.

What NAT type is best for Xbox and PS5 online multiplayer?

Open NAT (Type 1/Type 1) is ideal but usually only achievable on a direct modem connection. Type 2 / Moderate is the realistic target for most home networks — it allows matchmaking and voice chat. Type 3 / Strict causes most connection failures. Use our NAT Type Detector tool to check yours.

How do I fix DualSense stick drift on PS5?

First, recalibrate the sticks in PS5 Settings → Accessories → Controllers. Clean around the stick base with isopropyl alcohol. If drift persists, the stick module needs replacement — see our controller-fix pages for step-by-step guidance.

Why is my Switch game lagging in handheld mode?

Handheld mode caps most games at 720p/30-60fps. Check for system overheating, close background apps, and ensure the game is updated. Some games run better docked — see our graphics-settings pages per game for optimal presets.
