Steps to get Delta Force running smoothly on PS5

1) Try a complete power reset

The best solution can often be the most straightforward one. Temporary bugs that can be causing Delta Force problems can be fixed by restarting the machine with a full power cycle. Press the [PS] button, select "Turn off PS5" from the power icon, rather than Rest Mode, to accomplish this. After the console has shut off, disconnect it from the power source for ten seconds.

2) Log out and log back in to PlayStation Network

Your PS5 user session can occasionally hit some bugs, making it impossible for games to launch. Signing out and signing back in can refresh your account connection. Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Other and then tap "Sign Out." Sign back in and attempt to launch Delta Force again to check if the problem still occurs.

3) Clean up and rebuild your PS5 database

If system files are corrupted or out of order, some games will not load. PS5 database rebuilding can sort this out. Start by turning off your console completely. Next, press and hold down the Power button until you hear two beeps to access Safe Mode. Plug in your controller through USB and select "Rebuild Database." This will not delete your data but will scan for and remove underlying software problems causing issues.

4) Clear broken save files on PS5

Faulty save data is another culprit. From your PS5 home screen, navigate to Settings > Saved Data and Game/App Settings > Saved Data (PS5). Choose "Delete from Console Storage" and delete the Delta Force save files. If you have cloud storage, check and remove any faulty versions there as well before booting the game again.

5) Reinstall Delta Force

If none of these succeed, a clean reinstall may be required. Navigate to Settings > Storage > Console Storage > Games and Apps, locate Delta Force, and delete it. Then go back to your game library and reinstall it from scratch. This removes any faulty installation files and replaces them.
