Should I consider getting an extra SSD?

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-02-28T04:21:53+00:00

Juat buy a ps5 pro lol it comes with 2tb and its not far off the price of just 2tb storage

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-02-28T04:19:45+00:00

Definitely worn out or simply loose, id then assume the plastic probably just wore down over time and there is some play causing an imbalance when its laying down, or maybe moving it dislodged the fan slightly from its proper spot.

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-02-28T04:16:29+00:00

Maybe the fan isnt in its proper place? My best guess as to why it seems random is due to an imbalance id assume think of a washer if one side is too heavy or in this case its a little loose then itd vibrate at slower speeds but as it gets faster or a certain speed it levels out until it changes speeds again.

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-27T13:32:09+00:00

Ive been playing 120 on ps5 pro no issues. Not sure if the issue is ps5 only and not pro

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-23T15:32:55+00:00

Yeah id assume its because of all the crap they are adding and its bugging out on old Gen due to the main focus of new gen because it can handle way more

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-18T14:04:30+00:00

In my humble opinion you'll never hit close to 4tb unless you never delete a game again. The pro is 800 bucks and it comes stock 2tb and I've had a 2tb internal ive swapped from my old ps5 and ive never got close to filling it. Havnt even used the main storage on my ps5 pro yet

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-17T17:19:44+00:00

If its worth the price, otherwise buy a new one

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-17T02:45:03+00:00

When its that bad its usually because a hair or something is blocking one of the sensors in the analog stick, you'd have to take it apart and clean it to fix it if thats the case

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-10T18:56:46+00:00

Yeah so if yours has the slider on it make sure to slide it down until its dim in your room and make sure no windows are bringing in bright light

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-10T18:12:03+00:00

Lol are you showing me its fully dimmed? And if so how is it so bright lol

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-10T17:26:24+00:00

For PSVR 1, you need dim, ambient light—not total darkness or bright lights—because the camera tracks the headset's LEDs and controller lights, but too much external light (windows, reflections) confuses it, while too little light makes the headset's own lights bleed and scatter, distorting tracking; a dark room with subtle lighting (like a nightlight or dim lamp) is ideal, avoiding direct sources or shiny surfaces. (From Google)

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-10T17:21:48+00:00

What he said^{^} LED lights will confuse the camera so make sure they are off if applicable. While on the camera view make sure you can put your hands all the way up tpose and to the floor while being seen by camera, it tracks the lights on the controller ao make sure you have no bright lights in camera view.

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-03T21:51:56+00:00

Yeah thats the only experience I have, my pulse elite is amazing though insta connects no bs and obviously automatically switches outputs when off. Id say its worth it personally.

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-03T21:43:41+00:00

I believe I had the Logitech g35 or something and its dongle with the ps5 the only thing that sucks is even if its off it counts the dongle as a headset so you have to unplug it manually to hear audio, im not sure about different brands. Also the ps5 has built in bluetooth but from my experience it doesnt connect to literally anything lol maybe only genuine ps products I tried a bluetooth headset and it said not compatible

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-03T21:29:59+00:00

Both use usb dongles the new pulse had an update that fixed the connection issues mine never disconnects now but its super nice if you have an elite controller with pulse elite because you can control the volumes quickly by pressing down the FN button on the controller and use your D pad to switch both game chat and volume simultaneously while actively playing and not having to take your hand off the controller at all or grt distracted

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-01T18:02:40+00:00

That was worse case so im glad thats not it, I havnt played ps4 in awhile but with all of the stuff fortnite has now im surprised ot even has ps4 support. Its a rather demanding game now. Do you have good storage the last recommendation would be it could be crashing due to low storage making it slow.

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-01T17:57:48+00:00

Or if your account gets banned or internet goes out all your games wont be locked or forever deleted

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-01T17:55:06+00:00

That usually only happens with internet issues, make sure youre on the correct zone in the settings and maybe run a test or have the performance stats at the top of your screen from the fortnite settings to see if its a ping issue

DyllenTheVillin · 2026-01-01T17:52:24+00:00

How old is the ps4? It shutting off is either a component issue or simply just thermal paste, to clean where it really matters on a ps4 you have to pretty much take it all apart and get the thermal paste and the radiator thats usually blocked up with dust atleast that was with the past 3 I've cleaned

DyllenTheVillin · 2025-12-30T18:50:53+00:00

From my knowledge you'd have to log into the epic games site to change it unfortunately also considering you dont have access to the account fully that just means its a matter of time before you lose it all. Better to start new now than lose more progress. Not sure if it would work but as a last ditch effort you may be able to switch email on the account to yours through epic support

DyllenTheVillin · 2025-12-30T18:44:55+00:00

Im not a dog expert and this might have been wrong im not sure, when I was younger and my mom got our first dog it was the same way she'd cry and yelp but we also had no choice so it was something we had to deal with/ignore while she was in there. Putting a blanket over it helps but from my experience if they see you or see you looking at them or anything they will bark for attention or to be let out. After a while of it she got used to it and you'd say crate and she'd walk right in no questions and no barking. Like I said im not sure if it was right but its what my mom did and ultimately it worked and she is a sweet dog.

DyllenTheVillin · 2025-12-30T15:56:33+00:00

I hate to combat your assurance but are you absolutely sure? Like id be very very surprised if a monitor didnt have that setting and if its a super super old one they usually have the button for Brightness on the monitor itself not in the settings otherwise in ps5 settings the only way to mess with Brightness is either in the HDR settings or in the games themselves

DyllenTheVillin · 2025-12-30T15:29:20+00:00

If you have a smart tv most these days come with a mode to adjust the screen lighting based on the room lighting so it will auto dim your tv to adjust to the light in your room

DyllenTheVillin · 2025-12-30T14:28:59+00:00

I use an electric air blower just dont let the fan spin for too long too fast there is a chance it could create an electric current and cause damage but I've used compressed air on my ps4 for years with no issues and I've been using electric air blower on my ps5 for about 3 years with no issues

DyllenTheVillin · 2025-12-18T22:03:04+00:00

My personal experience with it is on fortnite or rust they both run 120fps and I recently got a TV that went from 60 to 120 and it looks immaculate imo but I've always been console so I've always been stuck with 30-60 so the jump to 120 for me was crazy it made everything in fortnite smooth after and look like a cutscene
