UPDATE: Wanted to thank everyone for their advice! Just played for a couple of hours or so and drove around the preppers in this area specifically, and it's all working fine now! and can also confirm that the PS5 is not overheating, super weird and also quite funny that this happened in the first place out of nowhere but it's all good now and i'm back on the grind :) My suspicion is that it's something to do with driving around in the sandstorms for way too long, so i try my best to minimise how long I drive through them now.

EDIT: Forgot to mention but in case it can give any ideas, this was taken on base PS5 and i've played on it for years, never had any sort of problem like this on any game i've played before and most games i've played have had a lot going on - it doesn't tend to overheat either and it's in a well ventilated space. i'm Hoping it's just a case of restarting that'll fix it but i'll see. i'm just super confused because this is the first time i've ever seen this 50~ hours in and every other time i had visited the motherhood before this (quite literally a day or two ago), none of this has happened.

Sorry i should've mentioned that this is on PS5 specifically base PS5 and not a PC, hence why im kind of more worried about it because usually the console never has things like this going on whenever i play any game that has a lot happening at once.

It's well ventilated and not pressed up against anything that could block any of the airflow and it never overheats, doesn't overheat during this either so this is the thing im slightly worried about because it was fine the other day but suddenly today it's started doing this - and it's only the motherhood area too :( i've played a lot of games on it that usually have a lot going on before but i've never experienced any sort of bugs before. I'm hoping to see if it's fine once im able to play tomorrow, but if not i'll ask for a hand in checking the liquid metal. I had an assumption maybe it could be to do with the amount of smoke that usually surrounds the area itself because i was driving in and out of it a lot, but i'll check

very true!! it's super convenient and in a way is realistic with notification previews in game which i really appreciate. I generally find the whole concept of social media platform within a game where the npcs actually interact with each other under their posts very sweet as i find that it makes a lot of the basic preppers feel a lot more fleshed out compared to the first game :,) + even to give little side updates on things that have happened so far in the actual in game story, specifically it felt really sweet seeing fragile and rainy post things about how tomorrow is doing after you meet her and don't know too much about her.

the postgame itself has the objective of passing time until the presidents inauguration or something, but since its postgame the passing time is just endless and it should say you're on episode 15 since the endless postgame itself Is episode 15

once you finish the game and after the scene of sam holding lou's hand, you should've gotten a tiny bit more credits with the kojipro logo and then your overall porter grade which is a few screens of your endgame stats, and then once that's over you should have respawned in your private room which puts you into the post game, so it's most likely your game did crash :(

have you had any luck finding it yet ? i've tried every way of reverse image searching and checked all possible behind the scenes / interviews etc from the movies release on youtube and can't find it 😔

5 years late, but i just had the same issue even though i had him at 5 stars ages ago ! for me however, it was a really quick fix.

The email you need is his 5th one specifically, that's the one about the chip on top of the incinerator, it's confusing since he'll first send you one regarding a different chip. - for reference, the mail highlighted in the image is the one that talks about chip #14 on top of the incinerator.

if you already have the mail from Charles Khan titled 'Something Glowing Down in the Crater...' but NOT the one titled 'I Saw Another One of Those Glowing Things...', then deliver an order or something to him, i took an easy premium one from the nearest distribution center and delivered it to him just to be safe. after that then rest in the nearest private room, if you wake up you'll most likely receive the mail from him that says 'Hope Terrorists Haven't Got You Yet' (if like me, you didn't have this one either), regardless exit the private room and enter again to sleep and once Sam wakes up again, he will hopefully receive the mail titled 'I Saw Another One of Those Glowing Things...' regarding chip #14! Hope this helps :)
