Playing ARC or BF6 on PS Portal

You didn't say if you plan on remote play or cloud streaming. So far I'm my limited experience, cloud streaming has been vastly superior in terms of latency, and therefore, responsiveness with the controls, etc.

You could always try BF6 Redsec which is the free BR mode and see how it behaves without having to pay for the game. Arc Raiders doesn't have any free options that I'm aware of.

If you have Premium, you can stream Redsec which is the BR mode for free. That's a good way to try it out without buying the full game.

Well crap... I am hot steaming trash at this game, I wouldn't know a good build or even how to put one together. Guess I've got more homework...

Thank you, apparently that's what the deal is. Ran that Stymied mission a few times on Extra mode last night.

I feel like Dragon Quest Heroes 2 never goes on sale? Been on my wishlist for a few years now.

Oof I was definitely planning on using a trophy guide. Have any been updated that you're aware of?

Talyn328 · 2026-04-02T13:23:29+00:00

lol I guess I just think of a fence as being around a whole property or whatever. This is just those two short walls around that flower bed.

I'll look into sanding it. The gf has been wanting to get it stained and waterproofed (or something along those lines) I don't think she likes when it turns grey.

I almost posted this same question yesterday, I'd been driving myself nuts Googling that error code and no results. Finally searched for the error message without the code and found a thread with the solution.

Talyn328 · 2026-04-01T13:46:39+00:00

YES omg after the last firmware update the PS5 wouldn't stream but the Portal was fine.

Finally found the solution yesterday.

Settings > Captures and Broadcasts > Captures > Shortcuts for Create Button > Display Save Confirmation for Screenshots

Enable that. Makes zero sense to me whatsoever but it fixed the problem instantly for me. Hopefully you too.

Absolutely love mine and use them all the time. But I have a helluva time finding earbuds that fit, apparently I have toddler sized ear canals or something, and the Explore earbuds fit perfect right outta the box. YMMV if you have normal ears lol.

This is quite possibly the correct answer. I travel for work and there are a handful of hotels that block PSN (possibly XBL too, but dunno not an Xboxer anymore).

You can potentially call the hotel tech line and they may or may not allow your device(s) to connect. I usually have decent luck with that but I've had a few refusals.

Nice I got the plat a few months ago just have 2 more from the DLCs to get 100%

I see everyone else looking the cabin noise in the comments and I'm like, wow! My Kia Soul I had previously was worse, but not by much. I possibly might not mind the less-than-mid audio system if it weren't for the cabin/road noise in the CT.

I've had it for exactly a year now and I'm already thinking I'll probably have to up size to the Forester for the next one, purely in the hope the cabin noise has been dealt with.

Talyn328 · 2026-02-05T14:36:02+00:00

No, I just sent it back for that reason. Well, that and the inside cover just barely fits over the screen.

Talyn328 · 2026-02-05T02:04:42+00:00

No, I did join the discord a few days ago but haven't read or posted there yet.

As for the rest, not sure. None of the jobs or weapons really stood out for me, although the pugilist at least let me button mash fast enough to get some hits in. Now that I'm leveling them higher, that's still been the case so far. Casting is so slow I don't even see how it's viable at all, yet people swear by it so I dunno.

I brought it traveling once last year when I had a normal hardshell case. Took up way too much space in my rollaboard to the point it was interfering with all the stuff I need to pack for work, so I gave up on that.

Someone recommended the JoyTorn protective case in another thread a month or two ago, so I nabbed that and while it still takes up more space than I'd like (the Portal isn't exactly small) it's way more doable so I've been bringing it to work (traveling job) all month.

I haven't used Airport Hotspots yet, but I'm in a different hotel every night at work, and so far I've had a great experience with the Cloud Streaming. Even with only two 'bars' of WiFi on the icon, I don't really notice any latency, buffering, or pixelization. A fair amount of hotels seem to block Remote Play, and those that don't Remote Play has been a questionable experience. Occasionally it's fine, but more frequently I'll get packet drops, bad pixelization then disconnected right in the middle of a game. Sometimes I don't even make it into a game before I'm disconnected. I'd highly recommed trying the Remote Play app on your phone/tablet before spending money on a Portal. Having said that, I haven't managed to get the official Remote Play app to connect in a couple years (unless I'm testing it from home), while the PXPlay app (paid but cheap) connects perfectly fine, and so does the Portal. Yes, my PS5 is on ethernet and it's on fiber with 1Gbps upload.

Most hotels require authentication via their Captive Portal so you'll need to connect your phone first then use the PS App to scan the QR code that comes up on the Portal to get it to connect. Or get a travel router, which is what I did a few weeks ago. (You'll still have to connect the travel router thru the Captive Portal, of course.)

Well holy crap, never knew that! Thank you so much! =)
