How to fix Diablo 4 Temple of the Primes crash

In the Descent into Flame from Act III of Diablo IV, you will need to enter the Temple of the Primes. When you do so, however, the game may end up crashing. To see how you can fix this freezing glitch, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential solution, try to head left immediately after talking to Lorath the next time you reload your saved data.

2. If Diablo 4 is still freezing when you try to open the door to the Temple of the Primes, then you can try unequipping all of your equipment beforehand.

3. If the game is still bugging out, then you can try changing the World Tier difficulty before you enter the door.

In order to do so, you can select Change World Tier from the main menu before loading into your save file. You can also change tiers by using the World Tier Statues found in the bigger towns in the world.

4. If you haven’t done so already, you should make sure you have the latest patch installed for Diablo IV. The Descent into Flame freeze seems to be a common problem on all platforms that should hopefully get patched out by the development team in the near future.

5. Of course, you should also make sure that you have the latest firmware installed on your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X consoles.

If you are playing Diablo IV on a PC, then you should make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card, as well as the latest version of the Steam client, downloaded and installed.

Hopefully, the new firmware and drivers will fix the freezing issues associated with entering he Temple of the Primes.

What to do if Diablo 4 is causing PS5 to overheat

by Kevin Chen

When playing Diablo IV on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, you may get the following warning:

“Your PS5 is too hot. Turn off your PS5 until the temperature goes down.”

If your gaming system keeps overheating while you are playing this action role-playing game, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you should make sure you have enough free air space around your PlayStation 5 to allow for proper heat dissipation. Sony recommends leaving at least 4 inches on all sides.

Therefore, you should avoid placing the console near any walls or other obstacles. You should also avoid enclosed compartments as well.

2. If your PS5 gets too dusty, then it will impact the heat dissipation. To it from overheating when playing high-demanding games such as Diablo 4, we recommend removing as much of the dust from the internals as possible.

To see how you can take apart a PS5 and clean it, we recommend that you take a look at TronicsFix video guide from YouTube below:

3. If you have been placing your PlayStation 5 vertically, then it may be causing the liquid metal responsible for cooling the APU due to uneven distribution. Therefore, you can play placing the console horizontally.

There is also a possibility that the liquid metal may have dried out and may need to be replaced. If you are interested in doing so, the you can check out a video, also from the TronicsFix YouTube channel, below:

4. If you are using a M.2 solid state drive for your PS5, then the expanded storage may be causing the console to overheat.

Keep in mind that the expansion SSD needs its own heat sink. If you don’t have one installed, then you should get one.

5. Make sure you have the latest system software installed on your PlayStation 5. In most updates, Sony usually adds a stability update that improves the performance of the console.

You can manually update by going to the Settings menu of the PS5 and then selecting System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

6. You should also make sure you have the latest patch installed for Diablo IV as a new update may come with improved optimizations.

7. If your console is still overheating, then you may have some kind of hardware issue. In this scenario, you will most likely need to get your PS5 repaired.

What to do if Capcom ID log in is not working in Street Fighter 6

by Kevin Chen

If you want to play multiplayer matches with others over the internet, as well as partake in other activities that require an online connection, then you will need a Capcom ID account for Street Fighter 6. If you can’t seem to sign into your account in this fighting game, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see what you can do.

1. For the first step, we recommend that you visit the My Page section of the official Capcom ID website.

Once you are signed in, scroll down to the “External account links” section. Here, you should see the Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam accounts that are linked to your Capcom ID.

External account links section from the official Capcom ID website

You should make sure that your Xbox, PSN or Steam account matches the one you are using to play Street Fighter VI. Otherwise, you won’t be able to log in.

If you are using a different account on your PC or console, then you need to switch to the one that is listed in the aforementioned “External account links” section.

It is very important to note that you won’t be able to link to a different Xbox Live, PlayStation Network or Steam account to your Capcom ID. You also won’t be able to use the same Xbox, PSN or Steam you previously linked to a newer ID even if you unlink them beforehand.

2. If you still aren’t able to get past the “Yes, I agree” screen when signing into your Capcom ID account in Street Fighter 6, then you can try creating a new ID account.

As we stated above, you can link your Xbox Live, PlayStation Network or Steam account to a new Capcom ID if you already linked then to an older ID.

Keep in mind that you will also lose out on any data that is stored online by changing your Capcom ID. These include your avatar as well as your rankings.

3. There is a possibility that the Street Fighter 6 servers are down at the moment. In this case, wait until the servers are fully operational again before trying to log into your account in the game.

4. You should also make sure that you have the latest patch installed for this fighting game.

5. If you are still stuck in the sign in screen, then we suggest that you contact the customer service team on the official Street Fighter 6 website to get direct support for your log-in problems.

Recommended DualSense Edge settings for Street Fighter 6

by Kevin Chen

You can gain a little bit of an advantage when playing Street Fighter 6 with a DualSense Edge controller as opposed to a standard DualSense. You can check out this guide from Seeking Tech to see what are the best settings you should be using for the Edge for the latest SF installment.

Custom Button Assignments

The two back buttons can be used to add additional actions.

If you are using the Classic control type, which we highly recommend doing so as you will unlock the full move set and damage potential of your characters, then you will have the following default layout:

Square Button: Light Punch
Triangle Button: Medium Punch
R1 Button: Heavy Punch
X Button: Light Kick
Circle Button: Medium Kick
R2 Button: Heavy Kick
L2 Button: Medium Punch and Medium Kick
L1 Button: Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick
Touch Pad Button: Accessibility Sounds

The following actions can also be assigned to any buttons on the controller:

Light Punch and Light Kick
Light Punch and Medium Punch
Light Punch and Heavy Punch
Medium Punch and Heavy Punch
Light Punch, Medium Punch and Heavy Punch
Light Kick and Medium Kick
Light Kick and Heavy Kick
Medium Kick and Heavy Kick
Light Kick, Medium Kick and Heavy Kick
Taunt
Simultaneous Input Assistance

If you want to stick with the Modern control type, then you should see the following default button layout:

Triangle Button: Light Attack
X Button: Medium Attack
Circle Button: Heavy Attack
Triangle Button: Special Move
R1 Button: Dive Parry
L1 Button: Drive Impact
R2 Button: Assist
L2 Button: Light Attack and Medium Attack
Touch Pad Button: Accessibility Sounds

You can also add the following actions to any buttons on the gamepad:

Light and Heavy Attack
Medium and Heavy Attack
Light, Medium and Heavy Attack
Heavy and Special Move
Taunt

While the Dynamic control type is also available, there aren’t any additional actions you can add to your controller for this simplified layout.

To add any of the aforementioned unassigned actions to the two back buttons of the DualSense, go to the Controls section of the Options tab and then select either Player 1 Side Control Settings (Battle) or Player 2 Side Control Settings (Battle). Afterwards, select Edit Control Mapping.

Look for the actions that you want to map to the back buttons of the Edge and then set it to L3 and R3.

Once you are done saving your changes, open the Customize Button Assignments menu of the controller and then add L3 and R3 to the two back buttons.

Trigger Stops

If you haven’t done so already, pull the sliders located on the backside of your Edge all the way down. By doing so, Street Fighter 6 should be able to register your L2 and R2 inputs a lot quicker. In a fighting game, a few extra milliseconds can make all the difference.

You can also further adjust the sensitivity of these trigger buttons from the DualSense Edge’s Trigger Deadzone menu.

Stick Sensitivity and Deadzones

If you prefer using the analog stick instead of the directional pad, then you can use the Stick Sensitivity and Deadzones menu of the controller to adjust the left analog if you are having problems getting your command inputs registered in Street Fighter VI.

Analog Caps and Back Buttons Attachments

As for the analog caps and back button attachments that came with the DualSense Edge, we recommend going with whichever combination that gives you the most comfort as you will most likely by constantly mashing your controller.

Wired Communication

To reduce input lag, we suggest that you plug your Edge controller directly to one of the USB ports of your PS5 console. Afterwards, open the Settings menu of your system and then go to Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method. Finally, make sure that Use USB cable is selected.

By doing so, you should be able to reduce the latency when it comes to your button inputs.

How to enable Street Fighter 6 simultaneous input assistance

by Kevin Chen

You can turn on simultaneous input assistance when playing Street Fighter 6 when using the Classic control type. To find out how can enable the feature for this fighting game, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

What is simultaneous input assistance?

You can read the official description for this feature below:

If you hold this input while inputting a Special Move or Unique Attack command, it will register as if you pressed all three kick or punch buttons together.

So, if you press the simultaneous input assistance button and a punch button together, it will register as if you are pressing the light, medium and heavy punch buttons at the same time. If you press the simultaneous input assistance button and a kick button together, then it will register as if you are pressing the light, medium and heavy kick buttons at the same time.

This feature may be helpful if you have a hard time pulling off some of the special moves and/or unique attacks with the Classic control type.

How to turn on simultaneous input assistance

In order to enable simultaneous input assistance in SF6, you need to take the following steps:

1. Go to the Mode Select menu. You won’t be able to turn this feature on from the Options menu from the pause screen in the middle of a match. Therefore, you have to exit back out all the way to the main menu.

2. From the Mode Select screen, press the Options button if you are playing with a PlayStation controller layout or Menu button if you are playing with an Xbox controller layout to open the Multi Menu.

3. Head into Options from the Multi Menu.

4. After getting to the Options menu, press L1/R1 on the PlayStation controller or LB/RB on the Xbox controller to switch to the Controls tab.

5. In the Controls tab, select either Player 1 Side Control Settings (Battle) if you prefer starting out the match on the left side of the screen or Player 2 Side Control Settings (Battle) if you prefer starting on the right side.

6. In the P1 Control Settings or P2 Control Settings screen, you first need to make sure that the Control Type is set to Classic.

This is because the simultaneous input assistance function isn’t available if you are playing with the Modern or Dynamic control type.

7. Afterwards, scroll down and then select Edit Control Mapping.

8. Scroll down the list of configurable actions until the cursor gets to Simultaneous Input Assistance.

9. Press a button you want to assign this action to.

10. Once you are done, press the Options button on the PlayStation controller or Menu button on the Xbox controller to back out of the Edit Control Mapping section.

11. You should get a Confirmation notification asking if you want to save your changes. Here, you need to select Yes in order to save and apply the simultaneous input assistance feature.

To use this function in a match, you can press the simultaneous input assistance button and the kick/punch button at the same time. Alternatively, you can also hold the simultaneous input assistance button and then press the kick/punch button.
