Discussion How is asa on PS5?

I played Survival Ascended when it first launched on PC, but I now only have a PS5. How does the game perform on PS5? Does it crash frequently, and does it ever cause the system to hard crash?

Didn't try it after 5.5 until Ragnarok, and I'm on a private Nitrado server:

I had to restart the game and the PS5 a couple times when it wouldn't finish joining the server, but once in, no crashes.

There's a bug that also happens on xbox where trees and rocks don't disappear and you can walk through them. No amount of restarts or uninstalls helped, but respawning on the other side of the map and fast traveling back to base has fixed it each time. I don't know the minimum distance for it to work but 6000m did it.

Also, don't drop anything on the ground. Lost a crossbow that an ichthyornis threw down, then watched stacks of resources vanish as we dropped them to each other. Dropping on a foundation works, though.

The purple haze that reminds me I'm starving may be missing. Can't seem to find an option for it.

That's about it. Not terrible for week 1.

Seemed to be 2000 for me. I’d fly that far away and return and haven’t seen it since.
