I too have run into similar issues playing the digital version on a PS4 Pro.
While I did notice some frame rate dips and some minor stutters while playing the early game, the real issues started for me after unlocking the lab.
Whenever I walk close to the lab, the PS4 fans start cranking up. If I stay inside the lab building for more than 30 seconds, I get a PlayStation warning message indicating that the game will need to shut down due to increased temperatures. This happens every time I go into the lab.
Once the warning message pops up, I am sometimes able to cancel it, then run out of the lab. The fan speeds will slow a bit. Other times I couldn’t exit the lab quick enough and the PlayStation hard crashed.
I first encountered this after an ~90 min. play session, but have replicated it within minutes of booting for the first time. The console is well-ventilated (not inside any cabinetry) and the ambient room temperature is 72 F.
Any suggestions of how I could remedy this would be greatly appreciated as I can’t utilize any of the science gadgets—can’t last long enough in the lab to craft them.
