Destiny 2 crashes on PS4 Pro and 1080p?
- Thread starter ValfarHL
- Start date
Not really a week, since the same issue was in the beta too............
Also doesn't look great if this fixes issues with Tomb Raider and Diablo, since they've known about those since November.

Hah! I agree. Destiny was somewhat of a larger product for the PS.
Clearly they were bitter with the Tomb Raider timed deal with MS and who plays Diablo anyway?!

So is it confirmed fixed? Did sony or anyone announce that this patch would fix ps4 pro crashes?

The part that concerns me is that if this was originally a hardware problem, that this fix may have potentially throttled performance enough to prevent a console replacement debacle. Of course I have no evidence to prove any of this is the case, but in the business of problem solving, I catch myself considering such possibilities.
I don't think it was ever actually a hardware issue

If this is confirmed fixed it should be new thread worthy or title edited.

I bought a new pro because of this.
Wanted the destiny white anyway... at least now I can feel comfortable selling my old one.

I didn't either when the only time I experienced it was on RotTR. When I heard that Diablo 3 and Destiny 2 had the same issue, I started considering the possibility. When the issue turned out to occur on only some Pros and not all, it sold me even more on the possibility.
Do you think Sony will ever confirm it?, it will probably be the ubiquitous "stability" tag on the release notes.
So far so good. Been playing over an hour in
EDZ
Might be good?..........

Just got finished 2+ hours in EDZ doing public events in places like The Gulch where I was absolutely guaranteed to get a crash. Established patrols. Leveled pretty quickly. Explored and covered a lot of ground.
Not a single crash.
I'm 99% sure we just got our fix.

After last night. There was a firmware update for the entire console.
few hours ago i believe
Awwww shit, that's great news. Will check when I get home.

Sony put out a very unexpected firmware update for the console. Most people think it was to add "stability" and "performance improvements" for things that weren't performing correctly.
Namely, Destiny 2.
Go update your console firmware.

Played three more hours and thankfully not a single crash.
Latest firmware update did it, atleast for Destiny 2.

They'll install the firmware for you
Unless they don't bother and just send me a refurbished console! Ugh it's probably still at my local FedEx office, not sure if I could get it back from them lol!
A little off topic but maybe someone here can chime in. I bought a Pro destiny bundle and had to return it because of what seems to be a hdmi handshake problem. I would get a black screen and sound drop outs every couple of minutes most of the time. Other times it would work without a hitch. Google does so some users reported the same problems with the pro at launch. Anyone know if this patch fixes that? My tv is a ks8000 if that helps

Have beaten the campaign on almost 2 characters now without a single crash. Must be something else.
What must be something else?
Checked this after 2h of Destiny 2 without crashes. RoTR crashed after a few minutes.

Diablo 3 still crashing as well.
That is odd. Expected those games to be fixed along with D2.
Called FedEx and was able to hold the shipping to Sony, went to the store and pick it up. I will test it later tonight!
Edit: is this the official recognition of the fix?
Issues preventing some players from playing Destiny releases on PlayStation platforms have been resolved.

A friend has the same tv and the same handshake issue. Sorry that that's not very helpful. It it seems to be an issue for that tv.
Congrats!
On the crashing front, I played tonight for the first time without a crash.

How are you going to drive-by post this without being a bit more specific? It's not helpful.

Have you tried updating the firmwarej on the tv?

I've actually been quite active in this thread and rather thorough about my setup, my tests, and my thoughts about cause. I didn't feel the need to reiterate my thread history at every post.
But since you asked, it's been about 3 hours without a second crash after applying the latest firmware.
Glad to say my crashes has stopped after playing for 2 hours. For reference, my crashes were severe and happening every 5 mins and I couldn't even get past the first level.
Thanks, it was a rollercoaster of events lol.

This is great news and Sony and Bungie deserve praise. Jump right back in, guys. Destiny 2 is amazing!

Well you shouldn't be able to play it at all on the beta right now I think since you need 4.74 to connect?

My bad. I appreciate you coming back to elaborate even when you didn't have to.
Thank you!

All good.
I've read somewhere that other settings cause crashes too, but I've been testing on 4k in geothermal valley.
Yup, just crashed on 4K Resolution setting at the start of the demo. Firmware doesn't fix all of the issues except Destiny 2. Thinking it did some mitigation for Destiny 2 specifically.
