It's stupid that back paddles aren't standard on controllers at this point. There are too many games that force you to choose between buttons and analog at times when you need both. Having some back buttons would alleviate a lot of it.

I had something similar with my v1 (assuming that's the grip on the back bowing out?) so I bought this:

Ya, it is the grip. I'm gonna try out some gorilla glue on it later on when I get a chance.

Yeah my v1 broke a few moths ago so I picked up v2. It's slightly better and feels a little heavier which I like but if your v1 is still good not worth the upgrade.

Anyone have any experience with PS4 Pro overheating? I am pretty sure this is what is going on. Hasn't happened recently as its colder now but it was infuriating. The machine would behave bizarrely before crashing/freezing (no error screen on PS4). Requires hard restart of holding power button or unplugging.

This didn't happen until I replaced the HDD with a SSD... as I recall.

It is on a cooling pad and eveything. I have no idea what to do about it.

i haven't had that problem but i've seen other people report it, one guy fixed it by reseating his CPU with new thermal paste but that sounds like an insane thing to do to me. mostly i'd just check your fan and heatsink and make sure dust isn't starting to build up around it, those are the two areas that would prevent heat management from working efficiently.

I got an error now.

CE-36329-3

I've rebuilt the database and I am about to just full initialize I guess. One of the recommendations is to put the old hd back in? How would that help and why would a brand new SSD fuck shit up?

I don't think it would fuck it up unless it was having the issue itself.

I have another SSD (Samsung) in my PC with no issues. I find it hard to believe that the SSD is defective. What are the odds of that?

I either get a freeze and a crash to reboot with the error I linked. Or I get a freeze and no error have to manually force a restart.

Honestly no idea... I am getting pretty close to just buying another PS4. Pisses me off a lot though. Never had this problem before.

While it takes time I'd at least do the backup and then start completely fresh before getting a new PS4. Is it just crashing with Death Stranding(assuming this is what you are trying to play) and not other games?

Same behavior with anything. I either get weird behavior (odd in game lag, sound cuts out, or something) and freeze requiring manual restart or restarts with the error I mentioned.

i mean it sounds like you got a fucked ssd, return/replace? only way to tell is to put back the slow ass hdd and test (or buy another ssd and abuse return policy).

which ssd is it?

no, i meant buy it and test it out, if it works then maybe your old ssd is indead fucked(and return that one if you can), i wouldn't ever recommend hard drive swapping returns, you have no idea which stores actually record s/n and stuff.

I will try it. Worse comes i can put the kind of fucked one back into my PC. Probably works fine for storage and works most of the time. But can't really play games like this.

Being it is new, I'd do a warranty claim with Samsung or the store you got it at
