As a disclaimer, there's another topic about this issue, but it's two days old now and it didn't seem to get any attention. I'm honestly not sure how active the devs are here, but I don't know how else to contact them.
I downloaded the game on Tuesday and absolutely love it, but my system has fully shut down without any sort of warning three separate times now: twice during a solo mission, and once on the 'mission failure' screen after a co-op mission with three other people. The last time it happened, I had to leave my PS5's power cable unplugged for nearly ten minutes before it would come back on after plugging it back in.
At first I thought about overheating, but I keep my system thoroughly clean, and the PS5 will give a warning about overheating before it shuts down. In this instance, there's zero warning of any kind, I'm just playing like normal and all of a sudden, the system shuts right off. I also tried moving the game from my additional M.2 SSD over to system storage after the first two shutdowns, but that obviously didn't help.
In the older topic I mentioned at the beginning of this post, there were four or five of us in total that were experiencing this issue, so I think it would be a bit coincidental if all five of us had faulty PS5s. Especially considering that I've never had a problem with any other game, and my system has never just randomly shut off before. I even tested a few other games for a couple hours after the first two shutdowns and had no problems, but within an hour of going back to DRG, the third shutdown happened.
I'm really not sure what to do, and it's incredibly frustrating, as I want to join in with everyone else that's having fun. But I'm honestly afraid that my system might brick after a few more shutdowns.
If I could get some help from the devs, or if someone could enlighten me with the best possible way to get in contact with them, I'd greatly appreciate it!
EDIT: Found another person on the PSNProfiles forums that seems to be describing the exact same issue. Including the older topic on this subreddit, that makes six of us now.
