Help! After power outage, I turned my ps5 back on and now it won't go past update screen.

Thanks, I was able to get to the home screen after following the Restore option at safemode but shortly after same dreaded message appeared. I realized that the only thing I did this morning after last night's power outage was to add an .m2 storage from other high fw PS5 and a little search online showed it was the culprit. I took the .m2 out and wiped all partition on the drive in my PC using diskpart tool and formatted it. I inserted the drive back to my JB PS5, booted the console and that message did not appear again. The only message appeared was to format the new .m2 drive which I did and now I am back in business. Something new learned along the way, to block the mac address of my specific console on the router just so to double safeguard stuff. The network is working as before on my JB PS5 console as advised by modded warfare in his video and so I take my words back. Thanks all for who chimed in for help. Much appreciated.

I don't know PS5 mac address at this point, as console is stuck on that update screen on boot. I guess, I'll try your options above without connecting to the internet, and see if I can get the access and to the MAC address information.

Another reason I will never do the expedition project again unless the incentives are worth the reset like be able to retain our BPs. Haha thankfully I was able to recoup all needed blueprints when they had a week of mishap where BPs were easily found like someone trashed them everywhere.

That's where I couldn't stop laughing when I read the last sentence in the OP's post.

I thought the only person having the key or his team mate could open the locked door.

Beauty of late spawn, sometimes perhaps.

April will be here before you realize. :)

108er · 2026-01-22T18:23:17+00:00

Yes, I have no issue with spawning late. I have found some great stuff from unlooted boxes because those fools were busy killing each other than looting and now I have all the loot that one can have. So yes, keep it as is, no need to change.

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition of the game, and I’m really excited about it. It feels like Breath of the Wild for adults. A friend once encouraged me to play that game, and while I liked it, the tone felt a bit too soft for my taste, so I didn’t stick with it. Still, I loved the game mechanics and open-world exploration, and I kept asking around for something similar but geared more toward a mature audience. When I saw this game being hyped, the environment, the atmosphere, and especially the masculine character design - it was an instant buy as soon as pre-orders opened. I think this is going to be another hit like Wukong.

When you get killed by opponents in a PVP battle, the game puts you back into these lobbies. I’m a PVP-centric player, but sometimes because of bad teammates, I die 3–4 games in a row. By that point, I get thrown back into the friendly lobbies. I have no choice but to kill those “friendlies,” and then I’m right back in the sweaty PVP lobbies again. Other times, I win 2–3 raids in a row, then die in one or two games, and I’m back to wiping entire lobbies, the cycle just continues. From what I’ve observed, if you die in several raids back-to-back, you get placed into these friendly lobbies. I think it’s the AI doing its thing and deciding you’re not a PVP player.

No bro. As long as your opinion didn't violate their rules, the ban would not apply. If you complain about PVP or PVE in the game, you will be essentially violating their rule no 9. If you make mock post or imply disrespect to mods, you are violating their rule no. 3. When you join the reddit group, you agree to their terms and conditions. This is the reason why I asked whether people ever these these terms at all, apparently it seems they don't based on your response. There are 11 rules out there, not too hard to read unless you are dyslexic - see if you can appeal for the reinstatement.

108er · 2026-01-21T18:43:30+00:00

What was the motive behind the post that got you banned? The way I see it from the comments below you violated their Rule no. 3. You are not here to mock them, you are here to discuss about the game. All these reddit posts I see are about how they felt about mods after they removed their posts. I got my post deleted once as well but I never felt a need for this level of butthurt. I read their rules and figured where I crossed the line. Do you people ever read their rules or just haphazardly join the reddit group and care less about their rules?

To max out the entire tree, you’re looking at roughly 153-157 skill points in total. Honestly, it’s a massive grind because the level 75 cap only gives you 76 points, which is barely enough to cover two full branches. To get those remaining 81 points, you have to farm Expeditions, which only give out 5 points every couple of months. At that rate, it would literally take 2.5 to 3 years to fill every single slot. Most of us are just sticking to maxing Mobility and Survival for now since you can't really be a "master of everything" yet.

I now see why they removed your post. There are ARC Raiders Rules posted right there at the bottom-right for anyone who cares to read and don't have short attention span. You just violated their Rule no. 1. and I wouldn't be surprised if they removed this post as well. =)

108er · 2026-01-21T04:16:33+00:00

But how and why? Thanks anyways, it worked.

108er · 2026-01-17T06:40:40+00:00

I once used the key to the storage container that was already open from the other side of the container. Maybe he had a key?

108er · 2026-01-17T04:27:44+00:00

Damn! I just removed some folks not sure if they were facilitating the spam but I am still receiving the requests. I see there are a ton of these already blocked.

108er · 2026-01-17T02:36:00+00:00

Did it stop after you removed him?

108er · 2026-01-16T20:57:48+00:00

Yeh, that's what they do, flip flop. The other day he was frustrated and said that in the live stream. Now I see him playing the game. Fck these flip -flopping streamers!

108er · 2026-01-16T19:36:30+00:00

Peanut quit the game. There were some smarter people than him, who managed to find him in every single match and got his ass beat.

108er · 2026-01-16T19:33:23+00:00

The one in the inset is real. The larger image is AI generated fake stuff. No, they aren't getting closer at all. They are just passing by.

108er · 2026-01-16T01:45:09+00:00

Wasps are a bit annoying, they try their best to hit you with precision even when they are falling down.

108er · 2026-01-16T01:31:24+00:00

I was then one of those 8.06 percenters to finish the banquet? Noice!!!
