Solution 2: Enable Automatic Game Updates on PS5

It’s possible that you might have missed the new update notification of Love Is All Around and an older version of the game can be causing these issues.

To avoid such situations and besides updating each game manually, we can set PS5 to update games automatically.

Usually, they are set to automatic updates by default to avoid not opening.

Here are 8 steps you can follow to allow automatic game updates on PS5:

1. From the PS5Homepage, go to thegear iconlocated in the top right corner to access PS5 settings.
2. SelectSystem
   
3. In the System window, selectPower Saving from the left sidebar and choose Features Available in Rest Mode from the expanded menu at the right.
   
4. Toggle “Stay Connected to theInternet“
   

Halfway through, we have enabled PS5 to stay connected to the internet while in rest mode as games usually don’t update when the PS5 is actively being used. So, let’s enable automatic game updates.

1. Go back to the main settings menu that you opened from the gear icon.
2. Scroll down and select “Saved Data and Game/App Settings“
   
3. In the Saved Data and Game/App Settings window, selectAutomatic Updates from the left sidebar
4. Toggle both the “Auto-Download” and “Auto-Install inRest Mode” options in the expanded menu at the right.
   

Now, your PS5 will be able to download updates over your internet whenever they would be available. Even if your PS5 is in rest mode, your Love Is All Around will remain up-to-date.

Solution 3: Update Your PS5 Firmware

Sony releases new updates regularly to remain up-to-date with upcoming bugs and issues users face either while playing Love Is All Around or some random bugs.

It’s highly recommended to have updated PS5 firmware. You can enable automatic updates and check for them manually as well.

There are 2 ways to update PS5 firmware:

1. Through USB
   This way you would need to download the update over the internet into a USB which is an inconvenient way than PlayStation updating itself.
2. Through Internet
   PlayStation searches for an update itself, downloads it, and installs it for you.

By default, automatic updates are enabled, and in case you are not sure, here’s how you can check if there’s a new update available and how to enable automatic updates on PS5 too using PS5 UI.

NOTE: Make surethePS5 is connected to the internet.

1. From the PS5 homepage, access Settings from the gear icon in the top right corner.
2. Go toSystem
3. Click on System Software from the left menu and choose the second option:System Software Update and Settings
4. From the 2 options, select Update Using Internet.
5. Now, wait for the system to check for updates and if it’s updating don’t try to turn off your PS5. In this case, the PS5 was already up-to-date.

Your PS5 should be with its latest update by now, and you can try running Love Is All Around to see if it’s still CE-108255-1.

Here’s How you can Check for Overheating:

1. Touch Test: If the console feels unusually hot, it might be overheating.
2. Listen: A louder-than-usual fan noise can indicate the system is working hard to cool down.
3. Warnings: The PS5 may display an overheating warning message before shutting down.
4. Crashes: Frequent, unexplained game or system crashes can be symptomatic of overheating issues.

Here is how you can manage PlayStation 5 overheating.

Solution 5: Switch to 60 FPS & Turn Off Performance Mode
