It’s the real killjoy to any gaming experience when you’re enjoying Chasm but your Console begins to seize up, run slow or simply freeze up.
This freeze is then usually followed by a Black screen. However there are two distinct differences between a game Freezing or Crashing on you.
Chasm Freeze On PS4:
Usually the game will be running full flow and as you progress through loading screens or mid-game the screen will hang. Alternatively all motion on the screen will stall. During this time audio can be heared to continue or completely lock up.
A freeze is distinguished by its ability to repair it self however if it’s serious it will then continue to crash.
Chasm PS4 Crash :
A Crash is easily described when you lose all control over your gaming experience. The screen will freeze and present you with a variety of graphical glitches or errors. At times this may prompt the game to hard-reset it self however more often than not.
A complete Playstation 4 restart or re-boot is necessary to fix the problem.

PlayStation 4 Disks are covered in a scratch resistant layer which makes them pretty formidable at holding their own under daily wear and tear.

Another type of Disk Error is what some people call “Disk Rot” Its due to chemical irritants destroying the surface of your disk and may cause your Chasm disk to become unreadable or provide you with a long list of errors including crashing while you play.
