How to disable Resident Evil 4 Remake chromatic aberration on PS5, Xbox Series X and S

By default, chromatic aberration is enabled in Resident Evil 4 Remake on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. This visual feature may make the graphics appear more cinematic as it will add some blur in addition to a blue and/or red outline to objects.

If you don’t like how the survivor-horror game looks with chromatic aberration turned on, then you can take a look at this tutorial to see how you can disable this feature.

1. First off, you need to head over to the Options menu, which you can do by simply selecting Options from the Main Menu of the game.

If you are actively playing the game, then you need to first open the pause screen by pressing the Options button on PS5 or Menu button on Xbox. You should then be able to select Options from there.

2. Once you get to the Options menu, you need to switch over to the Display tab.

In order to switch tabs on the PlayStation 5 consoles, you need to use the L1 and R1 buttons. For the Xbox Series X and S systems, you need to use the LB and RB buttons.

3. From the Display tab in the Options menu in Resident Evil 4 Remake, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Lens Distortion, which is a setting that adds an effect where the graphics will be displayed in the game as if you are looking at it through a camera lens.

4. By default, the Lens Distortion is set to “On (+chromatic aberration).”

In order to change this setting, you need to use the left or right directional buttons, or move the left analog stick to the left or right directions, to set Lens Distortion to either “On” or “Off” instead.

The “On” setting will remove the chromatic aberration but will keep the distorted camera lens effect. If you don’t like the distortion, then we suggest changing the Lens Distortion setting to “Off.”

5. Once you are done, press the O button on PlayStation or B button on Xbox several times to back out of the Options menu and then return to your game.

6. If you decide to change your mind and what to re-enable chromatic aberration in Resident Evil 4 Remake, then you need to go back to the Display tab in the Options menu. From there, you can change the Lens Distortion to “On (+chromatic aberration).”

How to fix Guilty Gear Strive input lag issues on PS5, Xbox Series X and S

When playing Guilty Gear Strive on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you may notice that there is a bit of a delay when it comes to your button inputs and the corresponding action that appears on the screen. To see how you can potentially fix these input lag issues, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. To start off, we suggest connecting your console directly to your television set or gaming monitor. Using an HDMI pass-through or switch may add extra latency.

2. If you are using a television screen, then you should also make sure that you have Game Mode, or a similar mode, enabled as doing so will help reduce the input lag while playing Guilty Gear Strive and other video games.

3. If your TV or monitor Variable Refresh Rate, then we recommend enabling this feature in its menus.

Afterwards, you need to enable VRR on your console as well. For the PS5 systems, you need to head over to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output and then set VRR to Automatic.

For the Xbox Series consoles, you need to go to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video modes and then make sure that Allow Variable Refresh Rate is enabled.

4. We also recommend that you play Guilty Gear Strive by using a wired controller.

If you are using the DualSense or DualSense Edge on the PlayStation 5 version, then you should connect your controller to the console via a USB cable. Afterwards, you need to go to Settings > Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method and then make sure that Use USB Cable is selected.

On Xbox, you simply plug the Xbox controller into the USB port of the console to use it as a wired gamepad.

5. If you are experiencing input lag while playing online games, then you should make sure you have a good enough internet connection.

If you are downloading and/or streaming simultaneously on the same network, then you can free up the bandwidth by pausing or stopping these activities while playing online matches in Guilty Gear Strive.

6. For offline matches, you can manually adjust the input latency by using the in-game menu.

In order to do so, you can select Settings from the Main Menu. In the Game Settings menu, you then need to select System Settings > Button Settings (During Battle). From the Button Settings menu, scroll down and then select Input Latency.

If you are in the middle of an offline match, then you can bring up the pause screen and then select Buttons Settings. Next, scroll all the way down and then select Input Latency.

Once you get to the Input Latency menu, press the A button or Xbox or X on PlayStation when the bouncing circle hits the black circle.

If you are getting nowhere near “0,” then you can adjust the input latency slider until you are consistently getting close to “0” with your button presses.

How to change the field of view in Atomic Heart

The development team at Mundfish recently added an in-game field of view slider to the Atomic Heart videogame on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Editon, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X.

Changing the FOV will let you see more of the environments on the screen. It may also prevent motion sickness if you feel nauseous when playing this first-person shooter.

To see how can change the field of view in Atomic Heart, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. As we mentioned above, the field of view setting was added through a patch update, more specifically the 1.3.4.0 or 1.3.5.0 version of the game depending on the platform where you have the game installed.

So, if you haven’t done so already, make sure that you have the latest patch installed before you start up the game.

You can find the full patch notes related to this update with this link.

2. Once you have the latest patch installed for the game, you need to open it if you haven’t done so already.

3. While you can change the field of view setting from the main menu, we suggest doing so from the pause screen instead. This is because you will see the immediate effect of changing this setting from the in-game camera with the action paused.

So, if you are in the Main Menu, make sure you choose the Continue, New Game or Load Game option to head straight into gameplay.

4. Once you are playing Atomic Heart, bring up the Pause Screen.

5. In the Pause Screen, you need to select Options.

6. After getting to the Options menu, change over to the Gameplay tab.

7. You should find the FOV setting in the Gameplay tab of the Options menu. If you don’t see it, then you need to close the game and then make sure that it has been updated to version 1.3.4.0, 1.3.5.0 or later.

8. By default, the FOV slider is set to 80, which is the minimum.

You can increase the field of view, in increments of 1, all the way to 110.

When you change the value, the camera angle will change as well in the background of paused screen, giving you a reference point to fine tune your preferences. The camera will zoom in more if you decrease the number and will pull back more if you make the slider a higher value.

9. Once you find the right FOV value, you can back out of the Pause Menu to return to the game.

How to disable Guilty Gear Strive crossplay on Xbox

The Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X versions of Guilty Gear Strive support cross play as you will be able to play online matches with other players from PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5.

With that said, you may end up fighting against more experienced players on PC and PlayStation since this game initially came out on those platforms in 2021. Therefore, you may want to consider disabling this matchmaking feature until you get decent at this game.

To find out how you can turn off crossplay in the Xbox version of Guilty Gear Strive, you can follow this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you need to head over to the Main Menu.

If you are currently in a match, then you can finish the fight and then head over to the main menu.

Alternatively, you can press the Menu button on the Xbox controller to bring up the Pause menu. From there, select Main Menu and then Yes to quit the current match and return to the Main Menu of Guilty Gear Strive.

2. Inside the Main Menu, scroll down and then select Settings. This option should be in between COLLECTION and Microsoft Store.

3. After opening the Game Settings menu, you need to select System Settings.

4. From the System Settings menu, move the cursor over to Cross-Platform Play. You should see the following description:

Network matches with players on other platforms will not be possible when Cross-Platform Play is set to “Off.”

5. With the cursor on the Cross-Platform Play, you can use the left and right directional pad buttons, or move the left analog stick to the left and right directions, in order to set this setting to Off.

6. Any changes you made in the Settings menu should automatically be applied to the game.

7. By setting Cross-Platform Play to Off in the System Settings menu, you should no longer be matched with PC or PlayStation players when playing online matches. However, you should still be able to play with other players from the Xbox One and Xbox Series family of consoles.

If you want to re-enable crossplay with other non-Xbox platforms again for this fighting game, then you need to return to the Main Menu of this fighting game and then select Settings > System Settings. From the System Settings screen, make sure that the Cross-Platform Play setting is set to On.

To see more tips about how you can update these virtual reality game pads, you can check out this link.

2. If you are sure that you have updated your controllers, then you try setting up your Play Area again.

If order to do so, you can press the PS button, select the Quick Settings tile and then select Set Play Area. You can also go to your PS5’s settings menu, select Accessories, select PlayStation VR2 and then select Set Play Area.

3. There is a possibility that your issue may be related to a specific game. In this case, you can try restarting the game.

How to prevent PlayStation VR2 OLED burn in

The PlayStation VR2 uses an OLED display, which provides an incredible contrast thanks to true blacks and HDR support. With that said, it is more susceptible to burn in and other image retentions issues. To see how you can prevent the PS VR2 from suffering these problems, you can take a look at this article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first precautionary step, you can try turning down the brightness. Most games have a brightness setting that you could use in the in-game menu.

Alternatively, you can also use the system menus of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console. In order to do so, you can press the PS button and then select the Quick Settings card. You should then be able to adjust the Brightness slider from there.

You can also press and hold the PS button (or press the PS button and then select home) to head back to the home screen of your PS5. From that location, select Settings > Accessories > PlayStation VR2 and you should see the Brightness slider.

The PlayStation VR2 comes with a great light shield that should block out external lighting as long as you are properly wearing the headset. Therefore, you shouldn’t need to play VR games at the maximum brightness setting in most cases. Not to mention that turning down the brightness level should help remove some of the blurriness you may be experiencing.

2. Some games may also offer a dynamic heads-up-display that will only show up when needed. As a result, these static images won’t stay on the screen for long periods of time, preventing potential image retention.

Thus, we recommend checking the in-game menus to see if there is a dynamic HUD option.

With that said, a vast majority of PlayStation VR2 titles, and modern games in general, do a good job of preventing screen burn-in as the HUDs are usually more transparent.

The only content you most likely have to worry about is playing a retro game with persistent HUD and/or black bars. Watching a video with a static logo or black bars may also cause issues as well.

You may also make the screen size of the cinema mode as big as possible. You can change this screen display size by pressing the PS button and then selecting Quick Settings. You can also head over to the home screen of your PS5 and then selecting Settings > Accessories > PlayStation VR2 to find the same slider.

3. Another way to prevent PlayStation VR2 image retention is to take frequent breaks.

Sony recommend that you take a 15-minute break after every hour when using the PlayStation VR2 headset. If you start feeling motion sickness, then we suggest that you stop immediately and don’t play again until your body starts to feel normal.

When taking a break, remove the virtual reality headset from your head. By doing so, the screen of the PS VR2 should turn off automatically, preventing any potential burn-in problems.

What to do if you can’t update the PS VR2 Sense Controller firmware

If you are having problems trying to update the left or right PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see how you can download and install the firmware without any issues.

1. For the first step, make sure that you have the latest system software installed on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console; otherwise, you won’t get a prompt asking you to update your PS VR2 Sense controller when you connect it to the system.

To manually update your PS5, go to the Settings menu from the home screen. From there, you need to select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.

Once the system has been updated, it should reboot on its own. Afterwards, you can turn on your PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller to check if you are able to see the “PS VR2 Sense Controller (L) Device Software” or “PS VR2 Sense Controller (R) Device Software” message.

2. You should also make sure that your motion controls have sufficient battery life to go through with the update. If not, then you may not be able to install the new firmware.

If you need to recharge, then you should only need to do so for a minimum of 15 minutes in order to get a good enough battery life to go through with the firmware update.

3. If you don’t see the update prompt for the virtual reality controller when it is connected to your console wirelessly, then you can try connecting the controls to the USB port of the PS5 by using a USB cable.

4. You can also try turning off both the left and right Sense controllers, as well as any other controllers you have connected to your PlayStation 5.

Afterwards, only turn on the left or right PlayStation VR2 Sense to see if you are able to get the firmware update message to show up on your television screen.

5. If you are able to update one of the Sense controllers but not the other one, then you can try restarting your PS5.

To do so, press the PS button to open the Control Center menu, where you can then select the Power option on the bottom right side. From the Power menu, you then need to select the Restart option.

You may need to restart multiple times to be able to update the motion controls.

5. Resetting the problematic PlayStation VR2 Sense controller may get it to update. In order to do so, you can follow the steps laid out in this guide.

Once you are done resetting the game pad, you need to pair it back to your PlayStation 5 console. Once the connection has been made again, you should be able to see the firmware update message.

How to update the PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller firmware

Just like the DualSense and Dualsense Edge, the PlayStation VR2 Sense can be updated. The new firmware may come with bug fixes, improved stability, new features and more. To see how you can update these virtual reality motion controllers, you can follow the steps laid out in this article from Seeking Tech.

1. You won’t get prompted to update the PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller until you update the firmware of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.

So, if you haven’t done so already, make sure you update your system software by doing the following:

  • Turn on your console and then make sure it is connected to the internet.
  • If you don’t see a prompt to update the system software, then you can head over to Settings from the home screen. From Settings, you then need to select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.
  • If there is a new update available for the PS5, wait for it to download and install. It should then restart on its own.

2. Once your PS5 has been updated, turn on either the left or right PlayStation VR2 Sense Controller. If there is a new firmware for this accessory available, then you should see the following messages:

For the left Sense Controller:

“PS VR2 Sense Controller (L) Device Software. To use your PS VR2 sense controller (L), you need to update its device software to the latest version. This update will be quick and you console won’t need to restart.”

For the right Sense controller:

“PS VR2 Sense Controller (R) Device Software. To use your PS VR2 sense controller (R), you need to update its device software to the latest version. This update will be quick and you console won’t need to restart.”

Here, you need to select the Update Now option to start the process.

3. Once you update the firmware for one of your PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers, you need to do the same for the other controller.

To do so, you simply need to turn on the other controller and you should see the aforementioned update screen.

4. After updating the controllers to the latest firmware version, you should be able to use them when playing with the PlayStation VR2 headset.

How to fix PlayStation VR2 ‘remove your headset’ error

When playing a PlayStation VR2 game, you may run into an error message asking you to remove your virtual reality headset error and then follow the instructions that appear on the TV screen. If you look at the television, you may notice that it displays an unrelated message, potentially asking you to adjust the display area.

To see how you can potentially get this error message to go away, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. If you have been playing the PS VR2 with your television screen or monitor turned on, then you can try enabling the Tracking Support feature.

You can do so from the PlayStation VR2 menu, which you can get to by pressing the PS button, selecting the Quick Settings title and then selecting Other Settings. Alternatively, you can also press and hold the PS button to go to the home menu of your PS5, where you can then select Settings > Accessories > PlayStation VR2.

2. If you have been playing without a television set or monitor turned on, then you should make sure that your room is suitable for the inside-out tracking cameras of the virtual reality headset.

To see how you can improve the tracking of this headset, you can follow the steps laid out in this previous guide.

3. There is a possibility that the play area you set up is too small, which may end up causing this issue.

You can edit your play area by pressing the PS button, selecting the Quick Settings tile and then selecting Set Play Area. You can also go to the home screen of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console and then head over to Settings > Settings > Accessories > PlayStation VR2 > Set Play Area.

To see how you can expand the play area from the sitting position, you can check out this troubleshooter.

4. Make sure you have sufficient lighting for your headset. Unlike the PS VR1, the PS VR2 works better in a brighter room. With that said, if you are looking directly at a light source, then you may end up getting an error message asking you to remove your headset.

5. If your PS5 isn’t connected to a TV or monitor, then you can try disabling the Tracking Support feature from the aforementioned PlayStation VR2 menu.

6. Furthermore, you can also try turning on your PS5 via Remote Play if the console isn’t connected to a television set or gaming monitor.

You can set up this feature by doing the following:

  • Go to the home screen of your PS5 and then head over to Settings > System > Remote Play.
  • Next, you need to go to Settings > System > Power Saving > Features Available in Rest Mode. From there, make sure you enable Stay Connected to the Internet and Enable Turning on PS5 from Network.
  • Put your PS5 in Rest Mode.
  • Use the PlayStation Remote Play App to then turn on your PS5. You can get this app on PC, Android or Apple devices.

7. Keep the software of your PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 updated as the new firmware may help fix this issue.

How to fix No Man’s Sky crashing issues when playing on PlayStation VR2

When you are playing No Man’s Sky with the PlayStation VR2, you may notice that the game will occasionally hard crash. To see how you can prevent these crashing problems, you can take a look at this troubleshooting guide from Seeking Tech.

1. If you haven’t done so already, try to turn off your PS5 if it is currently frozen. If using the controller or power button does not work, then you may need to unplug the power cord of the console to turn it off.

Once you manage to turn off the console, turn it back on again. You may see a message stating that the PS5 was shut off incorrectly and will need to rebuild its database.

2. Once you get your PlayStation 5 working again, you should make sure that you have No Man’s Sky stored on the console storage as playing the game from the M.2 Storage may be causing it to crash.

You can transfer the game data between different storage options by going to the Settings menu of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console and then heading over to the Storage section.

3. If the game is still hard locking from the Console Storage, then you can try clearing the system cache and rebuilding the database.

You can find both of these actions from the Safe Mode menu of your PS5. To get there, you need to do the following:

  • Start off by turning off your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.
  • You then need to press and hold the power button on the console until you hear a second beep. This should take around 7 seconds.
  • A screen should appear on your TV or monitor saying that you need to connect a controller to the USB port of the console and then press the PS button.
  • After doing so, you should be put in the Safe Mode menu. Here, you need to select Clear Cache and Rebuild Database.
  • You can then be able to select Clear System Software Cache and Rebuild Database.

4. You should also make sure that you have the latest patch update installed for No Man’s Sky as it may come with stability improvements that could fix the crashing.

5. Of course, you should keep the firmware of your PS5 updated as well since these usually offer stability improvements.

6. One last option to potentially stopping No Man’s Sky from crashing when being played from the PS VR2 is to factory reset your console.

In order to do so, we recommend that you back up your data first by heading over to Settings > System > System Software > Back Up and Restore > Back Up Your PS5.

Once you are ready, head over to Settings > System > System Software > Reset Options > Reset Your Console.

Finally, restore the data you previously backed up by selecting Settings > System > System Software > Back Up and Restore > Restore Your PS5.
