PS5 Fan and "Overheating" warning after initial install.

I downloaded POE2 and when I booted it up the fans on my PS5 started ramping up to what seemed like 100%. I was given warnings of overheating from my console.

Some things I found:

- It started at the character creation screen and didn't stop. Furthest I got was to the main town before I started to troubleshoot.

- The PS5 would give me a pop-up to tell me the console is too hot and to let it cool down. I placed my hand behind the console and the air coming out was not hot which is why I think it may be a bug.

- This was happening after initial download. I had not restarted or shutdown the console after downloading the game before playing. Jumped right into it.

- Downloaded latest PS5 system update and it still did not help.

- Tried messing with resolution, upscaling, other settings and nothing worked.

- No dust was in my console it is brand new. (PS5 Slim)

- I tried rebooting from the PS5 power menu and it did nothing.

- I tried a full shutdown from the PS5 menu with an unplug of the console and that seemed to fix it.

I cannot think of anymore info so hope this helps.
