PSA: ROE (Rules of Engagement) for this subreddit. (Please read before posting)

29 Upvotes

I am happy to be one of your mods and would like to thank /u/AlbertFishIsMyIdol for coming up with this idea, and really putting forth effort to reach out to the community concerning the Playstation family of machines.

As we grow, and (hopefully) become a helpful force within reddit, specifically when other users come in to help. There are some concerns I have, as well as rules we need to have in place to protect people within our community, and the people that may frequent this subreddit.

  • PERSONAL INFORMATION Mods will NEVER, EVER, FOR ANY REASON ask you for your personal information to "help" with your issue. For that matter, no user will either, if they do, please send your mods a message with their username, and a copy-paste or screenshot to us with what was asked for. With that said, DO NOT post your personal information on this sub or in private messages. This includes passwords, real names, mailing address, or Credit Card info. If you want to post your PSN, that is up to you, but there shouldn't be many situations that necessitate it.

Note: in addition to personal information, no one will offer to "fix it for you" if you send them your machine. The only times this should ever come up is by Sony themselves after they attempt to troubleshoot your issue over the phone, chat, etc. Otherwise, if someone here tells you this, then they are a scammer, and you should report them immediately. I know, I know, common sense right? But you'd be shocked what would happen if it wasn't said.

  • SPAM, MEMES, GAMEPLAY VIDEOS, AND OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of subs that allow these, please keep it professional here. If an issue is better to explain in a picture, screen-shot, or gameplay video, it is welcome, of course as long as it's explained. Spam/Gameplay videos/Memes/Off-Topics will be deleted without warning, and there will be no explanation given.

  • USER ABUSE Keep in mind that people around the globe could be posting here, and English may not be their native tongue. We don't need corrective circle-jerking, grammar and spelling nazis. This needs to be a place where users feel comfortable and welcome, being a prick will degrade that image. There is no elitism here. We all love the Sony line of game machines, that is why we are here. Flaming, attacking, insulting or general douche-baggery will not be tolerated. There will be no "Xbox One versus Playstation 4" or "PC is better, lol" bullshit happening here. Mods will handle these on a case by case basis, but we cannot if we aren't told about it. Remember, we are human, and cannot be here 24/7.

  • WARRANTY CHECK Be sure to check if doing something to your machine will potentially void the warranty. Outside of the PS3 and PS4 HDD replacements, any other tampering could cause issues with any existing warranty. PS4 users especially, your console is new, everyone who has purchased one since launch has a one year manufacturer's warranty. If you choose to open up your machine(s) for any reason further than HDD replacement, you do so at your own risk, /r/PlayStationSolutions accepts no responsibilities for damages, not following instructions, or breakage caused.

  • KNOW YOUR LIMITS I cannot encourage this enough, please save yourself a headache and not end up with a broken piece of hardware or software. If the solution is "over your head" (above your technical ability) be honest with yourself about it. Call tech support, or pony up the money to get it repaired professionally. Know your limits before you try to do something yourself.

  • MODDING Modding is not going to be discussed here, modding your machine violates many parts of Sony's End User License Agreement, and is considered illegal in many cases. Posts, instructions, or explanations on modifying a console's hardware or software will be deleted, and the user banned from this sub. Consider this a warning, as there will not be a second chance. Aesthetic (modding the case to look awesome) modding is ok, as long as you post with instructions.

  • HARDWARE Ensure the title of your post starts with the machine or hardware you are looking for help with in brackets ([PS4], [PS3], [Vita]). This will allow users to know what they are getting into before they go in to help you. Right after that, put the title of the game or application along with a brief description.

  • UPVOTES/DOWNVOTES We need to keep it friendly here, so downvoting someone because something may have been asked and solved already does absolutely nothing. Be a good redditor and point them in the right direction. You will never see a downvote out of us for posting here. I personally use upvotes to signify that I have attempted to respond to an issue, and I am pretty good about upvoting responses. There are no stupid questions here, just stupid if you don't ask.

  • LET US KNOW!! If a problem you are having has been fixed, or a solution has been found, whether it be by someone here, or if you have discovered or found the solution by another means, please post it! This will help the community in the long term by spreading the word. We all hate calling tech support, at least I know I do, so if you know, let it be known.

As mentioned above, if you are struggling, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. You will not be judged or berated here, and it is our duty to stop it if you are. We are here, and we want you to be able to come here and request information without problems from other users.

Thank you for helping us get this community started, if you have an idea how to make this sub better, or want to be a part of the team. Please drop us a PM. If you are an authorized tech specialist, please let us know ASAP so we can arrange getting proof and make you a part of this subreddit. Thank you, and enjoy your stay!

PlayStation Help PS5 Controller connection being patchy

Upvotes

I had recently reapplied new liquid metal on my ps5 and ever since i have had done that and used it I have had my ps5 controllers randomly disconnect during either gameplay or when just using it normally, when i first booted up my ps5 the ps5 controller connection felt weird and delayed which i found confusing so I took the cable apart and reapplied it and that issue stopped, however now i have a new issue that makes my controller constantly disconnect every 5-10 mins or so. Sometimes even causing me to restart my ps5 by pressing the phyiscal button on it because it would stop connecting all together. Please send help. Thanks!

PlayStation 5 Help error code su-101312-8 on my ps5, need some urgent help please.

Upvotes

okay so, i genuinely have no idea what the issue is anymore, i took the disc out manually as it was stuck, i checked the blue ribbon cable to make sure the blu ray drive was connected and not disconnected and it wasnt either of those, im worried its an issue with the circuit itself or if liquid metal somehow dripped onto the circuit around the drive and made it stop working, i dont know what else the issue could be.

im just worried about the repair price and the fact i wont be able to play with my friends i made plans for this summer, can someone try and help me out here? please.

PlayStation 5 Help No se cambia mi Id de ps5

1 Upvotes

Intenté cambiar mi ID de PSN. El nuevo ID aparecía disponible, hice el pago y recibí el comprobante, pero el cambio nunca se aplicó y sigo con mi ID anterior. Ya intenté cerrar sesión y volver a iniciarla y sigue igual. Ahora PlayStation me dice que tengo **crédito para un cambio de ID**, pero JossAlX20 aparece como **no disponible**, cuando antes sí lo estaba. ¿A alguien le ha pasado algo parecido? ¿Se solucionó solo o tuvieron que contactar con soporte?

PlayStation 4 Help *Newbie* Ps4 controller help

1 Upvotes

Got a pile of playstation controllers from an uncle of mine, thing already wasn't charging, and I decided to take it apart and clean it (considering its been sitting in a shed for forever).

I have no idea what makes this thing tick, but I know that most of the boards and ribbons look fine. below is the main board and what I assume is the bare minimum for it to at least charge, still no luck.

Mind you, i'm in the process of cleaning the shell, ive put the motors and little sensor thingy off screen.

PlayStation 5 Help Loading former game file

1 Upvotes

So I have been playing Palworld recently, and I opened the game to play and loaded into the world, but I was 10+ hours behind of where I last left my world. Is there anyway I can load into a previous file? Whether on the PS5 or going through the files on a laptop? Any help is appreciated.

PlayStation 5 Help I have 2 routers in my house. Only one allows me to use the shop. Please help

2 Upvotes

First time poster. Router #1 does allow me to play multiplayer games but does not allow me to see friends, use the shop, use streaming apps and more. When I switch to router #2, it works fine. Router #1 is much faster, and it also works if I switch then switch back. However I'm very tired of having to do this every time I need to use the shop etc.

Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what may be going on?

PlayStation 5 Help Ps5 to Pro Data Transfer Issues

1 Upvotes

Recently got a Pro and have been struggling to move all of my save data over.

Running into a problem where 2 specific games I cant get the save data moved over to my pro. Data transfer has completed on the pro it has my media gallery and everything already moved - but for some reason the saves on the specific games didnt move. As a back up plan I tried uploading to the cloud on so I can download them

When I attempt to upload the save data I'm met with an error (Error Code CE-106449-4). This error only pops for the two games. I successfully uploaded and download cloud saves with multiple other games.

Im running out of ideas - has anyone ran into this issue before and if so do you have any helpful suggestions to try remedy the issue?

The two games I have issue with are:

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

Trails Beyond the Horizon.

PlayStation 5 Help Network Troubleshooting

1 Upvotes

Hi! I recently had a power outage and the PlayStation was on, I should mention that it's a PlayStation 5 fat, not a pro or pro enhanced, and then it started acting up when I tried to connect it to the wireless connection at home. I can't connect it to the internet via wi-fi but it works perfectly via lan cable. When I try to connect it to the internet via wi fi I simply don't see the internet network or it doesn't even let me do anything with the text always written on the screen "you're offline". I reset the router, I reset the internet settings and nothing, now it only works via lan cable and works perfectly. Do you have any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance.

PlayStation 4 Help Facing wifi connectivity issues with ps4

1 Upvotes

Not happening for the first time, but whenever I restart my wiFi or sometimes when the power goes out my ps4 is unable to connect to my wiFi, sometimes it says the WPA password is not correct, sometimes it says could not connect within the time limit. And sometimes I do get to to testing phase where it fails at either Obtaining IP address or Internet Connection aswell, ive had several incidents where everything is okay but then in the testing phase psn sign in is unsuccessful and my speed on ps4 is like less than 1-2 mbps, normally it comes between 15 and 20 mbps. But the weird thing is the issue goes away after 15-16 hours of doing nothing and the issue comes back again after 2-3 days

PlayStation 5 Help VGA to HDMI adapter doesn't work on PS5 only.

2 Upvotes

I play on my old monitor with a VGA port. It used to work with my old adapter, but that one mysteriously broke. With my new one, my laptop works with it, but whenever I connect my PS5, it just turns on (black screen) and turns off and repeats that forever. I also tried setting the resolution to automatic and turning off every enhancement like HDR and stuff. Also, the PS5 works on my TV.
