by

When trying to log into Exoprimal, you may run into the following error notice:

  • “Failed to communicate with the server. Try again? Select End to return to the title screen.”

PC players will only be able to play with each other when cross-network play is disabled.

How to fix ‘no Capcom ID linked’ issue in Exoprimal

by

Exoprimal requires that you log into your Capcom ID account in order to start playing. When trying to sign in, you may end up seeing the following error message:

  • “No Capcom ID linked.”

To see how you can fix this sign in issue for this multiplayer game, you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you should double check which account is linked to your Capcom ID.

In order to do so, you need to visit the MyPage section of the official Capcom ID website, which you can find in this link. From there, make sure you are signed into your Capcom account. Afterwards, scroll down to Platform Account Information section to see what PlayStation Network, Xbox Live or Steam accounts you have linked.

External account links section from the official Capcom ID website

If it doesn’t match the platform account you are currently using to play Exoprimal, then you can try switching over to the Capcom ID that was used to previously linked to your PSN, Xbox Live or Steam account. You may need to contact Capcom directly if you forgot your previous Capcom ID.

Unfortunately, the link between the Capcom and platform accounts are permanent. Therefore, you won’t be able to use your PSN, Xbox Live or Steam with another Capcom ID.

2. If the aforementioned MyPage showed that you haven’t linked your platform account, then you should select the Link option and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the linkage. Afterwards, try logging in again in Exoprimal.

3. If you are still getting the “no Capcom ID linked” error, then you can try restarting the game as well as your console in order to reset the server connection.

To close the game on the Xbox Series S or Xbox Series S, then you first need to press the Xbox logo button on the controller. Afterwards, move the menu cursor in the Guide menu to the Exoprimal game icon and then press the Menu button on the controller. Finally, select the Quit option.

4. There is also a possibility that there be a current issue with the game servers that are preventing players from linking and/or logging into the online-only game.

In this case, there is not much you can do other than to wait until the server-side problems are fixed by the development team at Capcom.

To keep updated with any server issues in this game, we recommend that you check out the official Exoprimal Twitter page.

How to fix sticky DualSense Edge buttons

by

If the directional pad or face buttons of your DualSense appears to be sticky, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see how you can get them unstuck.

1. For the first step, you can try to loosen up the button by doing the following:

  • Press down hard on the sticky button.
  • Rotate the button while it is pressed down several times clockwise.
  • You can then rotate it a few times counterclockwise.
  • Hopefully, this method will loosen some of the debris that may have been causing the directional pad or face buttons to be stuck.

2. If you have an air duster, then you can try blowing air on the outer edges of the sticky button. You may be able to get enough high-pressure air inside of the controller to block off the dust and other substances.

3. You can also try cleaning the button.

In order to do so, you can try using a dry lint-free cloth while the controller is turned off. If that doesn’t work, then you can try adding 99% isopropyl alcohol to remove some of the stickier substances.

If you decide to use the aforementioned solution, try to seep a little it in between the edges of the problematic button. You can then press down hard on the button before rotating it clockwise and counterclockwise to clean the internal portions.

4. You may also want to try taking the controller apart so that you can do a more thorough cleaning on the internal parts. With that said, this is a very complicated process that may end up causing more harm to the gamepad.

If you are still interested in doing so, then you can check out the following How-FixIT YouTube video to see how you can properly dissemble and clean the DualSense Edge:

5. If you can’t seem to loosen the sticky buttons, then you might want to consider sending in your controller to be repaired or replaced.

What to do if the PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers won’t turn on

by

Most PlayStation VR2 games require the Sense Controllers. If these accessories do not seem to be powering on, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, we suggest that you try charging the Sense Controllers. If your PlayStation VR2 is brand new, then the internal batteries of its controllers could be depleted.

When recharging, you should use a compatible USB-C cable. For the best compatibility, you can use the USB-C charging cable that came with your PlayStation 5 and/or PlayStation VR2 headset.

Try to wait at least 15 minutes of charging before removing the USB-C cable from the Sense Controllers. Afterwards, press the PS button on the controllers to see if you see any lights appear.

2. It important to note that the Sense accessories will turn off right away if they aren’t connected to your PlayStation 5.

If you haven’t done so already, make sure you set up the PlayStation VR2 with your PS5. In order to do so, connect the virtual reality headset to the USB C port of the game console. Afterwards, turn on the console and then the PS VR2. The PS5 should detect the VR headset and then lead you through the rest of the setup process.

3. If the Sense Controllers still aren’t turning on, then you can try resetting them. To do so, you need to use a thin pin to push down on the reset button located at the bottom of the pin hole for at least 5 seconds.

The pinhole is located next to the L2 or R2 button on the backside. It may be hard to spot if your room isn’t brightly lit.

After resetting the controller, connect it to your PS5 via a USB cable and then press the PS button so that you can re-link it to the console.

4. If the left or right PS VR2 Sense pads still aren’t powering on, then there may be some hardware defect. In this case, you will have to send the controllers in for repair.

Supported QN90C Console Gaming Features

With the Samsung QN90C, you will be able to play PlayStation 5 games at up to 120 frames per second. The other supported features include Auto Low Latency Mode, HDR10 and Variable Refresh Rate (for as low as 48 fps).

For the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, the QN90C can also display supported games at up to 120 fps. With these two consoles, this TV also supports Auto Low Latency Mode, HDR10 and Variable Refresh Rate (for as low as 40 fps).

Recommended QN90C settings for console gaming

To get the best out of your PS5, Series X or Series S consoles with the QN90C, you can take the following steps:

1. To start off, make sure you properly connect your console to the QLED.

For the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, you can use the HDMI 2.1 cable that came with these consoles to connect to any of the four HDMI ports of the TV.

For the Series S, you can use the HDMI 2.0 cable that came with the system or get a HDMI 2.1 cable.

2. Next, make your way to the Settings> All Settings > Connection > Game Mode Settings > Game Mode. Afterwards, make sure that Game Mode is set to On.

By doing so, you should be able to get the lower input lag possible when playing a PS5 or Xbox Series game. Furthermore, Variable Refresh Rate should automatically be enabled on the QLED television set. VRR will help with minor frame rate drops and screen tearing.

While there are other TV settings that you can mess with, we recommend that you leave them alone for now.

3. On the console side, there are several settings that you may need to change.

For the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition consoles, head over to the Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output menu. From there, set the following to Automatic:

  • Variable Refresh Rate
  • 120 Hz
  • ALLM
  • 4K Transfer Rate
  • Deep Color Output
  • RGB Range

For the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, navigate towards the Settings > General > TV & Display Options > Video Modes menu. You should then make sure that the following boxes are selected:

  • Allow Auto-Low Latency Mode
  • Allow variable refresh rate
  • Allow 4K
  • Allow HDR10

5. One last step for the console side, you need to take is to calibrate the HDR output of your console to match the QN90C.

You can find the menu to do so on the PS5 by making your way over to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > Adjust HDR.

On the Series X and Series S, you need to go to Settings > General > TV & Display Options > Calibrate HDR for games.

In both of these cases, follow the on-screen instructions to get HDR content to display properly on your QLED.

6. If some scenes in a game you are currently playing appear to be too dark, then you can adjust the Dynamic Black Equalizer setting from the Game Mode Settings menu of the Samsung QN90C.

If you feel that some games are running a little bit choppy, then you can go to the Game Motion Plus Settings from the Game Mode Settings screen. On the next page, you can adjust the Blur Reduction slider to make 60 fps games look smoother or the Judder Reduction slider to make 30 fps games look smoother. Furthermore, you can also add Black Frame Insertion by enabling LCD Clear Motion.

How to fix DualSense Edge vibration issues

by

The DualSense Edge supports the same haptics used as the DualSense. If the vibrations do not seem as strong, or the premium controller does not rumble at all, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, try to re-charge your controller. The low battery life may lead to a weaker rumble.

2. If re-charing the controller did not make the vibrations feel stronger, then we recommend checking the in-game menu of the game you are currently playing. Some titles may have options where you can adjust the vibration intensity or turn it off completely.

2. If the game has vibrations fully enabled but you are still experiencing issues with your DualSense Edge, then you should try looking in the system menus.

To do so, you need to take the following steps:

  • Press and hold the PS button to open the home menu of your PS5.
  • Select the gear icon on the top right side of the home screen to open the Settings menu.
  • From the front page of Settings, go to Accessories > (Controller General) > Vibration Intensity.
  • Set Vibration Intensity to Strong (Standard).

3. If you are using custom profiles for the DualSense Edge, then you need to open the Settings menu. Afterwards, navigate over to Accessories > DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Custom Profiles.

In the Custom Profiles menu, select or create a custom profile. Next, select Vibration Intensity and then set it to Strong (Standard).

4. You can also try updating the firmware of your DualSense Edge. To find out how you can properly do so, you can take a look at this previous tutorial.

5. If the haptics still aren’t working properly on the controller, then you can try resetting the accessory.

In order to do so, you first need to completely turn off your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.

Afterwards, you need a small, thin pin. This is because you need to press down on a button located at the bottom of a small hole located on the back of the DualSense Edge. You will need to hold that button for around 5 seconds to reset the gamepad.

Once you are done with resetting the pad, connect the DualSense Edge to the USB port of the PS5 by using the USB cable that came with the controller. Finally, press the PS button on the gamepad to re-sync it with the game console.

6. If none of the potential solutions have worked so far, then there may be a hardware issue. In this case, you may have to send your DualSense Edge in for repair.
