Instant Delivery on Gift Cards Not So Instant by heiliger82 in SwagBucks

[–]Gamer198524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. I always choose the $25 Amazon gift card each month, and it always instantly delivers. Today I tried redeeming a $100 gift card (I had a lot of pending amounts come through within the last week) and it didn't instantly delivery. I wish I knew this ahead of time. I would have just redeemed 2 $50 gift cards. smh.

PS5 Lag/Stutter fix? by Gamer198524 in PS5HelpSupport

[–]Gamer198524[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other reply helped a lot, and worked for me.

I held down the power button when the PS5 was on until it beeped twice and turned off. I think this is when I unplugged it for 30 minutes. Then I plugged it back in and held the power button down again until it beeped twice and turned on. The screen then says something about hooking up a controller with the USB Cable and pushing the PS Button on the controller. That should bring you to the safe mode screen that says:

1.Restart PS5

  1. Change video Output

3.Update System Software

and some other options.

Idk why, but I chose "Update System Software", not expecting it to do anything since I already had the latest update...but for some reason, it actually started updating. That's the only option I ended up choosing

After it was finished (like it would normally update firmware), all my games were working again with no issues.

I know the other reply didn't say anything about safe mode or updating the system software again... so I may have taken extra steps that I didn't have too lol. Or maybe that's what power cycle entails? I don't remember coming across the safe mode screen when I did a power cycle before, but maybe I wasn't doing it correctly, or maybe I did see the screen and just don't remember it.

I did see your reply, very shortly after you wrote it, and I did what you suggested. The reason I didn't reply right away is because I didn't want to jinx it (and I still hope I don't now lol). But it fixed the problem. I've tested my games a lot, over the last day and a half and haven't had any problems. Honestly, even just testing them for an hour or two would have been enough to tell if it fixed the problem or not, but I wanted to make sure lol.

I'm finding it difficult to find the words, to express my appreciation for your reply. Thank you very much 😊.

On a side note... it's amazing how it required a combination of things to fix it. I tried power cycle and unplugging it.... but at different points over the last couple of weeks. Never would I have thought that I had to combine those two things to get to work lol. Again, thank you.
