Uncharted 4 Is Causing Graphical Artifacts And Texture Issues For Some PS4 Users

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a graphical powerhouse and utilizes the full potential of the PS4.

sounds like overheating.

[Razuel]

If it were heat the system would likely throttle down or power off as an additional symptom.

[nunley33]

Possibly and more likely to happen on older launch systems too I bet. I have a newer model PS4 with the physical buttons that runs cooler but my friend has a launch PS4 and some games does kick his fans up high. I have Uncharted 4 but he doesn't. Uncharted 2&3 used to do that to my PS3 too.

[Volkama]

I have a launch PS4 and TLOU Remastered is the title that most obviously pushed the fans hardest (particularly noticable because parts of the game are quiet). I wouldn't be at all surprised if Uncharted 4 pushed the hardware in the same way.

That's no indictment of Naughty Dog though. Pushing the hardware is exactly what we want them to be doing.

[Taero]

The annoying thing is in order to clean out the fan you have to void the warranty, while mine is out of factory warranty I live in a state that has a 4 year defect warranty on almost everything as law. So basically if I stop mine from blowing up from heat I void the warranty, or I let it go into meltdown and then fuck around trying to get gamestop to honor the law (which they hate doing).

Bugs found in UC4..tries to play it off as possible faulty console. LOL It's a new game. Bugs will be present. No need to deflect. The scores won't change, the game as a whole won't change. Downloading the day one patch as I type this. Looking forward to my playthrough.

You're going to love this game

In my first playthrough I didn't run into a single glitch this game is extremely polished if not the most polished game I've ever played

I'm noticing a lot of new games are starting to push my PS4 fans into overdrive although Uncharted doesn't seem to be doing this to me, which surprised me.

I was playing Gundam Breakers 3 which in all truth makes your PS4 sounds like a jet engine lol

[dragonopt1]

My PS4 was sounding like that as well. Once I opened it up and cleaned out the fan of all the dust caked on it, was back to normal.

[Stapleface]

It's been fun so far. Can't say anything as I don't want to spoil stuff for people, but there are some cool moments. My favorite so far is kind of an Easter Egg, but thrown right at you as part of the game play. I thought Nathan was just sitting there not knowing what to do, but then realised I was in control. Major nostalgia.

[Dee_91]

All he said was "sounds like overheating"... Since when was a possible cause considered "deflecting"? What is it you believe he's trying to bring down? The game or the console itself? If he's trying to bring down the console, why is the score relevant?

[GameBoyColor]

Overheating is a legit cause of graphical glitching though. Pc owners know this. Also hardware defect as well.

[TheGamez100]

Had a few texture glitches too but nothing bad, what i really want is for artifact and character models to appear faster if not instant when viewing them

[BossBattle]

I hope not. I just bought this today when I got paid. I wanna play some after work.

[Dario_DC]

Never got any of those but I already got some slow loading textures on Nathan's journal

[Rookie_Monster]

Already finished the game. I did notice sone weird artifact and slowdown at certain time during my playthrough. I did traded in my old model PS4 for the new all-matte PS4 earlier this year so that ruled out that it is a console issue of the current PS4 hardwares. No wonder Sony is already going to release an upgraded PS4 soon as the current PS4 is probably pushed to it's limit even by Naughty God running at 30fps on campaign.

The PS4 NEO Should remedy all those issues. Can't wait for that thing to release. DAY One!

[SpaceRanger]

There's a couple here and there that I've noticed in the Madagascar section. I'm just glad that it's at 1080p and not sub-HD for the beautiful game it is and considering that it's an exclusive. Gameplay, multiplayer, story, graphics, resolution...pizza and a beer is all that's needed to make the experience even better!

[ShadowKnight]

After playing this I can't wait for the Last of Us 2!!!

[gangsta_red]

You can't escape bugs or graphical glitches no matter how good a dev may be. As long as they don't ruin the experience and are not over abundant then it should be expected to run into them.

[Gazondaily]

Sensible comment is sensible

[Muzikguy]

Only thing I've noticed so far is my game froze on me when I was first getting into the area with the spotlights. I think that had something to do with rest mode but idk

Makes my PS4 sound like a jet engine when it's loading lol

[Lionalliance]

Weird, haven't found any problems with the game, and i finished it.

[Gol3m]

No issues for me so far but I have been previously playing the original game without the 1.02 patch. Will see what happens now. But yeah it does also sound like overheating

[SpinalRemains138]

Oh no. Artifacts and poling is the worst. Usually means the GPU is running too hot. I know my initial fat PS3 ran too hot at times and I had to use Artic Silver to help it.

I suppose if this is just limited to this game, and doesn't permanently damage the GPU, that a patch can solve it. I would think so anyway.

[DragonDDark]

Yup. This is definitely a GPU problem.

[DragonDDark]

No issue here

[DEAD-DEVIL-DISCO]

Almost every game now days

[DafunkyRebel]

It's probably cause they treat their consoles like crap and put it in a cramp heat prone place, I happen to know a couple of friends who do this and it irritates the hell out of me cause I treat mine like a treasure

[KiwiViper85]

I have no choice but to keep mine in a closed cabinet, but at night when actually playing, I open the door and aim a fan at it.

This article makes me want to open and clean it tho. Just in case

[Dyldog69]

Many hours in. No problems of any kind. Been playing in about 1-2 hour chunks

[NextGenCeo]

Actually those pics looks like a GPU problem with PS4. Becase when i try my PC vga card overclock and if i get limits same problem i`m getting on screen. I think does are vga gpu artifact. Sorry for my english by the way i`m esl guy :D

[Ceaser9857361]

didnt face any problem and i keep both my consoles ps4 and xbox one clean...

[Liqu1d]

Usual trolls are here I see. It looks like a bug, nothing more. It'll probably be patched pretty soon.

[pixel_l]

As soon I pop in my Uncharted disc the vents start blowing like krazy. I think I need to clean my PS4 also. I have my console always covered with a towel when the power is turned off. Maybe it's not enough? (sorry for my English)

[Grown Folks Talk]

Fans work overtime with this game (disc) as well as well as Stories: The Hidden Path (digital), but those are the only 2 games i've noticed that with. Thus far i've had 1 instance where Nathan clipped through the floor as I was trying to reach Sully in the car.

[Jon_Targaryen]

Saw few minor graphical glitches in my play through so far, but nothing to this extent. The only thing I've noticed was water not rendering right in chapter 11 and the rain getting all weird in chapter 13. Other than that smooth sailing...

[esmittystud101]

PS4.5 couldn't get here any faster. I'm sure it will help matters like this. Less stress on the console/over heating, correct?

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Best game I've played this Gen, bar none. I'm on chapter 14 and this game oozes quality. Just think if more devs put the time/effort into their games like Naughty Dog, the kind of quality experiences we would have. But at the same time it would probably make ND's experiences less special...

[CoryHG]

i notice how loud mine gets when the game plays.

[iistuii]

Artifacting would usually mean the graphics card in the PS4 is on its way out. Had the problem with a couple of PC graphics cards in the past..
