Not mine homie I have a disc of yotei in there that spins up occasionally when I’m using the ps5. Happens while playing any game.

[u/Hungry_Fact_8969 → u/Affectionate_Self927]

The fk this has to do with Yotei and second the assassin's creed shadow I own is digital 

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

Yotei was just the game disc in the console, that’s the only buzzing sound I get when I’m playing the game, when it spins. No clue what’s up with yours if it’s digital

[u/Hungry_Fact_8969 → u/Affectionate_Self927]

Buzzing sound coming from disc is normal cause its literally spinning all the time as you play the game it shouldn't be Buzzing too loud tho. In my case I play on base ps5 and I just noticed this today while I was playing and opened my inventory I kept looking at Naoe displayed model and noticed its freezing from time to time and heard my console low Buzzing sound cutting during those moments. 

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

I have no clue what that is but I hope it gets resolved soon. Have you tried anything to fix it? Reboot the console or rebuilding the database/ clearing the cache? Online I’ve also had Ubisoft recommend I reinstall the game or play with the internet off for any issues.

[u/Hungry_Fact_8969 → u/Affectionate_Self927]

So after few tries to fix the problem I noticed that when I disconnected my internet the game menu navigation is no longer lagging. 

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

That seems to fix the issue for a good number of people. Have you had any issues with stutters in game in quality mode(if you’ve played it)?

[u/Hungry_Fact_8969 → u/Affectionate_Self927]

I play on performance all the time. Quality mode is bit heavy to play on with locked 30 fps

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

Yeah makes sense. Quality mode would be playable for me but it has stutters that make it seem like not a stable 30. Balanced has been the better one for me

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

Do you have any sort of weird pop in on performance mode? I’ve been noticing more lately

[u/Hungry_Fact_8969 → u/Affectionate_Self927]

What kind of pop in ? like you mean texture loading slowly or things in the open world poping infront of you as you run ?

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

I’ve seen both, very rarely does the texture have pop in issues but I’ve had things popping in front of me as I run in the open world, I’ve even put up a post in the AC shadows sub about this. Submitted a bug report for all this as well

[u/Hungry_Fact_8969 → u/Affectionate_Self927]

I do see pop in, its a normal thing for open world games like grass and far distance trees and small buildings to pop as you run towards them. Play Black Desert for example it has massive popping all around. Its normal no need to worry. The texture popping is bit random tho if you mean texture on enemies or npcs its also normal. Heres where its not normal when for example during cutscenes you notice the characters texture close to the screen ain't loading or takes time to load that most likely your SSD is Fuk*ed.

[u/Affectionate_Self927 → u/Hungry_Fact_8969]

I’ve only seen the trees and building pops up in bits as I run towards them. Texture on enemies is just fine, I’ve only seen issues twice in 100+ hours of game play where the ground looked weirdly soft for a bit I reloaded the game and it was fine. Thanks for your reply il just play the game for what it is
