PS5 crashes daily while playing ffxiv, WITHOUT warning or error- only since patch 7.0

It doesn't happen with other games tho. And this only started happening on DAY 1 of patch 7.0. Never happened before and it still doesn't happen with other ps5 games, only Dawntrail. And I'm glad your friend hasn't had issues with it, but there have been others who did so it would be quite a coincidence for the console to break for so many, just for 1 game, on the same exact day. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._crashing_ps5/

Also, it doesn't seem to happen if you play on 1080p. Which I don't, but ppl who do will not have this issue

Crashing Game / App is one thing, shutting down the whole playstation and it dont turn on again is another.
The reddit thread is useless, no diagnostic no further information. other even posted, it helps to clean the PS, so there seems something terribly wrong with the cooling inside.
If it dont happen on 1080p then it might be that the playstation consumes less power.
You can wait ages for Square Enix to fix that, it will not happen, there is not even a note on such a known problem.

I have about over 3500hrs into FF14 - and it's the first 100 Gen1 ps5's so it's got some miles on it. However, ever since DT it's been running odd. No other games (Just to name a few, FF16, FF7R1, FF7R2, GOW, Steller Blade etc etc ) have the issue. But whenever I play FF14 after the DT update gets extremely hot. A 10year old game should not affect the console this way. I have an external fan on it now constantly and that helps to an extent. Last night tried helping some people prog TOP and it just shut down for no reason after 45min. Mind you before DT I was helping people clear and prog TOP for hours and hours.

dentical issues and there are a couple other threads on Reddit about it with people talking about the same thing. You're not alone.
