PS4 locks up in instances.

Never had any problems with this before today, but twice this afternoon my PS4 has completely locked up during a guildhest and a Brayflox NM, to the extent where I can't shut the console down in any other way aside from pulling the plug.

Anyone else had this? Both times it happened, it was during a boss fight when I was casting. The game totally freezes, music keeps playing, and though you can get to the PS4 home menu, the music from FFXIV will continue playing, and the PS4 can't shut down.

I was using the Android PS app as a keyboard, if that might make a difference? Any ideas?

Was your ps4 sounding like it was getting hot? It could be that. I noticed with the download ver of this game, my ps4 starts to run hot as soon I start it up. I've encountered a few issues with it freezing and cant shut off ps4 with this game. I think today was the first ever crash I had when trying to get online for the game.

It wasn't sounding like it, but when I unplugged it it was pretty warm behind the console. Guess that could be it. Never had any problems with my PS3 overheating while playing no matter how long the session was, so didn't even think that could be the problem. :/

Yeah I know what you mean with the ps3 thing. But you gotta remember the ps4 is still fairly new. Any overheating issues the ps3 may have overcome is due to its lifetime. (Also depends on what/which ps3 model you have) Just turn her off, put a fan on that booger, and let her cool off

True, true. Guess I'll just have to take a little break from trying to farm Battlemage gear! I dread to think how she'll react in the middle of summer! xD
