PlayStation 5 error returning consoles to factory setting
The one PlayStation 5 gamer experienced an incredibly heartbreaking moment after the console was hit with an error that demanded it be reset to the factory setting.
The problem occurred when the player played Diablo 4. They contacted r/playstation to provide proof. On the black screen, an error message appeared that said, “Something went wrong. The console must be reset to factory settings to resume.” The fascinating thing is that the news wasn’t accompanied by any message statement, leading to some believing there was an issue with the complex console’s hard drive. The PS5 is cursed here. Meantime, the user has updated the worried users with the following information: “It’s working fine. We needed to download some things again, but everything is functioning.” Some Reddit members wondered if this resulted in the post’s Diablo 4 save file being deleted and reassured Cloud Save could. Furthermore, Diablo 4 is played on servers, meaning players’ progress isn’t committed to the storage.
“Saves in most games” are only available on the Cloud if you’ve got PlayStation Plus and auto upload turned on. If not, people could be affected by Something similar to this. It’s scary,” was another opinion. While another commented, “I’ve never experienced this before. However, it’s great that all saves are stored on the Cloud. Most likely, it’s not a big deal reset.”
When online games are based on server-side saves, crashing in them is unlikely to impact your gaming. But, experiencing a crash during an RPG such as Cyberpunk 2077 is more than perfect. The cracks appear common and easily fixable through a simple reset. We should be reminded to transfer any saved files to the Cloud or store them regularly on our hard drives.
