FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Diagnostic Question #1: When exactly does Deathloop crash on your PS5?

This is the most important diagnostic question. The timing of the crash (startup, cutscenes, 30+ min, random) directly determines the root cause: startup = installation issue, cutscenes = memory leak, 30+ min = thermal, random = cache corruption.

Diagnostic Question #2: Does the crash happen only online or also offline?

If online-only → network issue (switch to wired, check NAT). If offline-only → game/console issue (clear cache, rebuild database). If both → system-level issue (update firmware, check storage).

Diagnostic Question #3: How full is your PS5's internal storage?

Keep 50GB+ free on SSD — under 10% causes write errors When storage drops below 10%, the OS cannot allocate virtual memory, causing crashes even on well-optimized games like Elden Ring or COD.
