⚠️ Don't use Wake & sign in with 12.4.1. Waking a PS5 from rest with Wake & sign in switched two consoles off in our testing. A fix (12.4.2) is on the way. Plain Wake, and everything else in this release, is not affected.
Remote Play:
- Play connects again after another device or a controller at the console took the session over, or right after a Stop. Before, PS5Upload could keep failing until the PS5 was restarted while other apps got in. It now asks the PS5 to start the same way other Remote Play apps do.
Installing:
- Add-ons (DLC) no longer sit at 99%. An add-on is now treated as an add-on even when its package doesn't say so, the check after installing ends within about a minute, and an add-on that leaves no files says to look for it in the game's add-ons on the PS5.
PS5 helper and rest mode:
- While the console goes to rest and for a minute after it wakes, the helper holds its background work (fan, cheats, home-screen tile and icon fixes, its own checks) and pauses Tailscale, then picks up again. Tailscale can no longer get stuck in a busy loop when the network goes away.
- Each rest and wake is written to a small log on the console (power.log), collected by the Bug Report, so a console that switches off in rest can be traced.
Game frame rate:
- While a capture runs, Stop capture is red with a Recording label beside it.
