How to fix Diablo IV Fury Against Fate glitch

by Kevin Chen

When doing the Fury Against Fate quest in Diablo IV, you will be asked to “clear the cannibal feeding ground.” If you find that you aren’t able to complete this quest due to a potential glitch, then you can check out this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech to see what you can do.

About the Fury Against Fate bug

The progress-blocking glitch can occur when the room containing the required enemies to defeat is completely empty.

The game may also bug out if Ealda doesn’t move towards the room after you talked with her about the mission. If she and her companions do not move at all, then you won’t be able to complete the mission even if you defeat all of the required enemies by yourself. You can find a video of this glitch below:

Even if you try to pull the enemies towards Ealda’s and then defeat the targets, the quest will still be incomplete.

Workarounds

To avoid this glitch, restart the Fury Against Fate quest over again and then try to talk to Ealda from a different standing position. Some players have reported that they were able get Ealda and her friends to move by standing slightly above the group before initiating the conversation.

You may have to restart and then reposition yourself several times in order to trigger the NPCs to work as intended. You can also try changing the World Tier to see if you can complete the objective.

Fury Against Fate patch

The good news is that the development team at Activision Blizzard has acknowledged that there is a widespread issue with the Fury Against Fate mission that is making it impossible to finish. Although they don’t have a workaround currently, they are working to fix this problem.

You can find their statement below (via the Blizzard Support page):

We have received several reports of this issue and can confirm it is not working as intended. Currently, we do not have a workaround or resolution that can be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience while our developers work as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.

So, if you haven’t done so already, make sure you have the latest patch downloaded for Diablo IV on your PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S or Xbox Series X.

Hopefully, the quest will no longer be glitched after you updated the game.

How to fix Beat Saber PS VR2 audio lag issues

by Kevin Chen

When playing the PlayStation VR2 version of Beat Saber, you may notice that there is a bit of audio lag. Having close to zero latency is important in a music game as the smallest of delay will through you off of your rhythm.

To see how you can fix the audio delay problem in Beat Saber for PS VR2, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

Before doing anything else, we recommend checking to see if you are also experiencing audio lag in other games as well. If you are, then you may have a general issue with how your PlayStation 5 and/or PlayStation VR2 are set up.

For the best lag free experience, avoid using any HDMI splitters and/or pass-through devices when connecting your console to the screen. You should also avoid using any USB splitters, extenders and/or pass-through devices when connecting the PlayStation VR2 headset to your console.

It is also important to note that wired connections are better than wireless ones when it comes to latency. So, if you are using wireless earphones or headphones, then you can use an audio cable to connect to the headphone jack of the PlayStation VR2 instead if possible.

If you are still getting noticeable lag, then you can use the in-game menu of Beat Saber to adjust the latency. You can do so by taking the following steps:

1. To start off, you need to head to the mode selection menu.

2. From that screen, you need to select the gear icon located at the bottom.

3. You should now be in the Options menu. Here, you need to select Settings.

4. From the Settings menu, select the Audio tab.

5. After getting to the Audio tab, make sure that the Override Audio Latency setting is turned on.

6. You should now see the Audio Latency Slider, which has the following description:

“This setting can help you compensate on audio delay of your sound system. Adjust the latency value to sync audio with video. Always use your headset to do this calibration.”

If you haven’t done so already, make sure you turn on your listening device and then wear your virtual reality headset. Afterwards, adjust the slider until the audio matches the marker when it is hitting the middle and outer edges.

Hopefully, you should no longer hear any audio lag when playing through the music stages in the PlayStation VR2 version of Beat Saber.

How to fix Final Fantasy XVI PS5 overheating issues

by Kevin Chen

When playing Final Fantasy XVI on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console, you can see the following message:

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

To see how you can prevent this JRPG from overheating your system, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you can try switching the Game Performance settings by taking the following steps:

During gameplay, press the Options button on the DualSense to open the in-game menu.
Next, you need to press R2 to switch over to the System tab.
In the System tab, press R1 until you get to Graphics Settings.
You should be able to change the Game Performance mode in the Graphics Settings section. If your console was overheating when playing with Graphics Mode, then you can try changing this to Frame Rate or vice versa.

2. If you are still getting the “your PS5 is too hot” warning, then you need to make sure that you have enough free airspace around the console.

You should leave at least four inches of room all around the PlayStation 5. Furthermore, avoid putting the system in an enclosed space; instead, you should place it on top of a desk, table or cabinet.

3. The PS5 tends to overheat if the room temperature is already hot. Therefore, you can try to use a fan and/or air conditioner to cool down your room when playing this demanding game.

4. You can also try cleaning your PlayStation 5. By removing dust from the internals of the console, including the fac and heatsink, you should end up getting better air flow. As a result, your PS5 should be less prone to getting overheated.

To see how you can properly take the system apart to clean it, we recommend that you check out the TronicsFix video guide on YouTube:

5. You may also want to consider checking to see if the liquid metal has dried out on the APU. If it is, then you may need to replace it.

To find out how you can properly check and replace the liquid metal, you can take a look at the TronicsFix video guide from YouTube:

6. If you haven’t done so already, you should make sure you have the latest patch downloaded for Final Fantasy 16.

The overheating issues appear to be a common problem even for those who have proper ventilation. Hopefully, the development team at Square Enix will optimize the game via a new patch so that it would cause the PlayStation 5 to overheat.

To manually download a patch, move the menu cursor over to the Final Fantasy XVI game logo in the home screen of your PS5. Afterwards, press the Options button on the DualSense to bring up a small pop-up menu, which is where you can then select the Check for Update option.

7. You should also make sure that you have the latest firmware installed for your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.

To manually update the system software, start by heading over to the console’s Settings menu. From there, select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using Internet.
