(PS4 Slim Digital Copy) Last attempt at getting help then I'm giving up.

I've made two previous post on this sub for 3 days now trying to get help with a serious game breaking bug, if you want to know what's going on then just check my last two posts.

Neither posts have gotten any attention and I haven't been able to find a solution online.

I really want to play this game and be a part of this community but I can't do that if I can't even play the game.

At this point I'm just about to quit and just move on to another game. If anyone sees this (doubt it) and if you know how it can be fixed then please let me know.

Update: Nothing has worked, I give up. Thank you to the people who took the time to try and help me find a solution. I'll give it another try some other time maybe 6 months from now.

What have you tried so far? I have both the disc and the digital version on an original Ps4 and don't remember having any bugs like that.

I've tried reinstalling, multiple restarts, changing settings in-game/PS4 settings and even my TV settings which was a solution I read online. I have no idea what's causing it. All I know is that I can't proceed past the start, whole bunch of audio bugs and blurry textures on enemies and interaction items. And loading any save that was made while one of these bugs were active will cause an infinite loading screen and sometimes when I have to force quit the game my PS4 will freeze. This doesn't happen with other games

Have done everything on this site?

Sorry I've never had an experience like you but I'm wondering if maybe the ps4 database or licenses have something to do with bad software.

Did you try deleting your save game from ps4 (settings > storage >saved data ) and playing the game from start ?

My cousin had that problem and it fixes that

Considering you haven't even faced the first boss that wouldn't be a problem since it would take you at max 1hour to reach where you were

Deleted all save date, didn't work. Now seeing what happens if I play it on a guest profile.

hmm is this a common issue ? ive played GOW multiple times but this certainly has never happened to me,, ive read ur post and usually reinstalling would work but apparently not too?

Unless something during the installation process is triggering it but idk what or how that can happen twice in a row, but third time's the charm.

Different console? I don't own a PS5

Hey man. I think you should make a video of this and report it to the developers.

Sadly I don't think anything like that will catch attention, probably far too busy with Ragnarok plus if this was a wide spread bug many more people would be encountering it

Do you have a disc? If so the disc might have something wrong with it, I just played through the entire game the last couple days and didn’t experience anything like you’ve described

Try formatting your game & save data of GOW. And make a new guest profile on PS4 then play the game on that. It might help. Not sure.
