    If your playstation keeps bluescreening then this sounds like a more major issue than some bugs in the game.

    Blue screen sounds like a hardware issue. Maybe your PS4 is passing away, slowly.

    As long as we don't know the error code given with the bluescreen, we can only guess what the cause may be.
    It can be a hardware problem, but you'll never know, it may also be any kind of fault in the application programm (game).

    Sadly it's quite a habit of game developers to see all bluescreens as an issue of the users hardware or of the Playstation's database. So everyone's first advice would be to reorganise that database.

    Knowing the populace of this forum over the last few years I can say that if there was a large (or even small) percentage getting blue screens we would see some vocal acknowledgement of it...

    That's exactly the wrong kind of conclusion. There always is a chance that noone else has had this issue before, and just telling him "you're the first with this problem, so it cannot be an issue of the game" is very arrogant, IMHO.

    Oh, where did I say that?
    In my twenty plus years of IT support and management I have never said anything such, but seeing as I have on here and didn't notice that's terribly remiss of me...

    Given the OP says they've reported it already no point advising that, but saying they could also look to their hardware IS good advice.

    It's a very intense route for various reasons, so hopefully the report to DTG means they can help, but there can be memory and capacity issues that can also floor your PS, so maybe speak to PS support as well as DTG

    I didn't say you wrote it, but it's the idea behind your advice.
    Please stop bragging ... I have more than 35 years of experience in dealing with IT support. The bigger the age difference between support staff and user, the more the user is considered ignorant or just plain stupid. Again, I'm not saying that's how you act, it's just my experience.

    Really... you must be reading something I'm not typing.
    Maybe rather than trying to tell other people what they're saying give your own helpful advice even it's contrary to what others are saying (or from your reading suggesting)

    Erm. Maybe that's what you do, but again, please point me to where the age of the OP is listed?
    It's not so I cannot know that
    So again, stick to giving your own advice

    I'm done with this conversation now, so I will stick to giving the OP advice and hopefully you will too

    So am I! Ignoring each other seems to be the only solution.

    Either that or just stop trying to tell people what they mean when rather than asking them to clarify... Up to you

    I have already said that reorganising the database can be an option. For other games, it has been helpful to change the system language of the console if it is not the standard of that game.

    Off topic. This is a technical report. If you want to ask about opinions of the route, post a thread. Or just read all the views people have already given in several places already.

    We'd need a bit more information to help you. What was the error code, for example...? When exactly does the blue screen get triggered - at what point in the process.....?

    I am possibly going to post a thread in the Playstation section (reasonably soon) which should help PS4 players, especially those with base PS4s optimise their experience with TSW 2 on PS4. If I do write it up, then I will point you to it. But in the meantime, I strongly suggest that you do the following:

    ------------------
    - Before using Scenario Planner, Livery Editor, or playing any scenario/module that you think you might save mid-game, make sure that you have backed up your game progress to the PS4 cloud and/or USB.
    ------------------

    All of the above situations have something in common - they make a "HDD write" - but unfortunately TSW and TSW 2 have not been written in a way that repsects PS4 game memory allocation, so an in-game write to certain files can push the PS4 over the edge. Be very careful with HMA, NTP and Cathcart Circle - you could lose you game progress entirely if it glitches at the wrong moment.

    There is something else that you can do to avoid blue screens, which is to ensure that TSW 2 is loaded on the console's HDD, and that no other storage media is connected (and preferably no strange devices). Sometimes game save writes can get glitched if another HDD is connected (even if the game is on the console's HDD). This sort of thing rarely happens with most PS4 games, it's just some (like TSW) where little care is taken to make sure that the game is optimised, or operating within the right memory allocation.
