The FPS on Console WILL NOT GO SLIENT until we get an actual answer!
You guys know what to do! Talk about your problems on console! How its been preforming! What other new problems have risen on console! We need our voices actually heard!
For some that still need a back story on this. In 2018 BHVR said either by end of October or November, can't remember just GENERALLY near end 2018 that they would optimize console, which as we know, that was a lie and all they did was downgraded the graphics, and ever since then, they kept quite about and everytime anyone brought it up to the devs they always said one of the few followings
"We currently don't have a team working on it"
"We will have further updates on it once we have information on it"
Or "We shared this among the team" which is the biggest lie and their responses just keep looping like this every time it is asked
So to make sure this thread goes on until we get an answer, NO BUMPING meaning NO "Bump" replies of any sort, since it is for whatever reason consider "drama" if you see this thread go off the front page, don't simply bump it, say something related to the FPS on console or other problems related to console!

I played yesterday. With Clown the frame rates were "decent". With Pyramid Head, the fps drops massively. Same with Demigorgon in a open map
Today i will report new issues with other killers

Applying a status effect causes the game to freeze or stutter.
This includes Survivors applying Exhaustion to themselves.

I cannot stand this.
You are 100% on point.

Does anyone find that the frame rate absolutely dies when they try to do the extendo attack on pryamid head
3 -
Absolutely yes. PH on console is near unplayable

Why would you play in console to begin with? I'm not trying to get into the *waa all console players are bad* dogfight, but clearly PC-s are better in every way. Please everyone just get a PC.

You should never expect the same quality/performance as PC. They are just more powerful and efficient at what they do in every circumstance. Thing about consoles is they cannot be upgraded so over the years they just arent strong enough for a lot of newer games. I'm sure the devs have done what they can to get the best performance but at the end of the day theres a limitation. You get what you pay for ig. Invest in a PC if you can. definitely worth it.

Its not simple as "just get a pc" its like saying "just buy food if your starving"
Of course then comes the "then how did you afford a console?" Because PC nowadays are getting too expensive and I had enough money to buy a console? Because the current gen prices are dropping because of the next gen that is coming? Same with I just had enough money to buy pizza.
And most games are ment to be played on console, with a controller, especially fighting games.
Anyways OFF TOPIC *ahem* we won't stop until we get our answer, the FPS on console will not be ignored.

It's not a console problem, it's a DbD problem. Other, way more demanding games run fine on console. If the devs are not able to make a game run properly on console, then they simply should not release it.
If you sell a product, then the customers can expect and demand that the product they paid for is working.
(Also there are reasons for owning a console like console-exclusive titles.)

Yeah, i agree. Saying "just get a PC" is a bit ridiculous, but at the same time thats really the only solution. Unless you want the devs the reduce the graphic quality even more to the point that it looks horrid. Probably not.

The console hardware absolutely isn't the problem. Way more demanding games with great graphics are still getting released for consoles and they run without issues (one of the newest examples being Ghost of Tsushima).
The devs simply a) don't know what they are doing or b) they don't care about console.

They care about console player's money. That's it.

Oh they done their best....lazily.
Have you seen battlefield 4, 5? Modern Warfare 2019? Apex legends? Modern warfare 2 campaign remastered? Final fantasy remake!? All high quality games that run WAY better then Dbd does, and the "they done their best" is really laughable, oh man yeah, they really did their best by downgrading the graphics, that must have been so hard for them.
If anything BHVR is limiting themselves, I payed for ps4 to get quality games and system and it delivered, dbd doesn't for some odd reason.
So for dbd not having the best graphics, best visual effects etc would have such a hard time getting good frames when triple A games that require more work get better performance?

And here I came to this forum on this sad day just to see an unpleasant surprise of an attempt to try and silence us console players. What an elegant gesture from BHVR instead of identifying the FPS problem and giving console players an ETA, some info, anything really.
So here's my experience from yersterday's games in regards to the FPS:
Clown and corn don't mix well.
Neither do Shape's tier 3 and survivors.
And BTW, getting head on stunned also drops the frames, yay!!!
New symptoms are found every game session, so be sure to share them here!

And for some reason, despite a new comment, this discussion stayed in the second page instead of going to the first.
Coincidence?

That's the "sinking" function (no, I did not made that up). Let me quote the Vanilla staff from the Vanilla Forums:
"Sink prevents a discussion from being 'bumped' back to the top of the list when new comments are posted. This allows admins and moderators to quietly cause a discussion to lose importance and die without stirring unrest by forcefully closing it."

Oh, I see.
This is getting ridiculous and pathetic.

Frames are still atrocious on PS4. Demo is a walking slide show..... doc is laughable.
btw, shutting down our main post accomplished nothing other than showing exactly how close to bathesda level customer service bhvr has become. We have no shortage of new titles for new posts about console optimization. Shutting that 1 topic down caused 5 more to spring up. Pretty good job so far.
forest for the trees 🌲

I played nurse on Midwich last night and y’all know what a nightmare that map is for nurse. Put one on the hook and the other three came in for the hook bomb and I don’t know what caused it but the frames dropped and for almost three minutes it was like a freaking slideshow. I wish I had clipped it. Also had a match on Leary’s last night though the frame drop wasn’t near as bad but it still dropped frames to where I missed a bunch of hits. I don’t understand why no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room (console optimization) but gamers who have spent time and money on your game aren’t just gonna be swept under the rug and go away. Are we just so full of pride at Behavior that we can’t give answers to these types of questions.

Frames drop quite a bit as survivor or killer, definitely more as killer. I'm sure others will list the killer issues so here are a few of the ones I've run into as survivor.
Times frames drop for survivor:
When hit with Sloppy Butcher.
When exposed status goes into effect - NOED, Mikey tier 3, GF mark, Devour Hope, Haunted Grounds, etc.
If a survivor cleanses totem nearby - dull or lit. Lit will also screw up frames across the map.
If a survivor searches a chest nearby.
When a gen finishes.
When another survivor is hooked.
During skill check on gen if another survivor hops on.
If Hag trap is set off nearby.
When frames drop it will cause:
Miss skill checks.
Stutter during chase that causes survivor to be hit/downed.
Survivor to miss ability to vault/drop pallet.
Survivor to stop struggling on hook.

Wow, they really did that. I just commented and this stated at lower end of page 2.
2 -
Lol it won’t move up. These guys and their insistence on ignoring the problem.
2 -
They are doubling down on making console feel like they don't actually matter.
3 -
I remember how spirit had FPS problems when you used her power and then coming out of it was worse
1 -
BHVR are actually censoring us?

On PC FPS issues were fixed by lowering the resolution setting. It's a slider for some reason. Is that possible on console?
If it's not possible maybe it can be set for all console players in an update. On PC at least changing the resolution setting seems to do basically nothing visually.
0 -
No, it isn't possible on console.
Additionally, as far as I can tell, console is already preset to low graphic settings by default and can't be changed.

Edit:
Also for anyone else who wants to say 'jUsT GEt a Pc lOl' I'd like to point out what you said, Madjura; DBD still suffers issues on PC, even decent gaming computers can struggle to run the game at anything beyond Low.
This isn't a console problem, or even a DBD on console problem, it's a DBD problem. It's just that I can't upgrade a PS4 or adjust DBD's settings to band-aid the issue, so it remains a problem.
3 -
Yup, they are really trying there their best to keep us quite. Bet after this, it still won't go up the first page. FPS on console NEEDS TO BE HEARD
5 -
The frames are garbage on consoles and need to be fixed.
3 -
Every killer match is crap because of the terrible framerate.
Devs don't care. The response of "we let the team know" is either complete BS or evidence of alarming incompetence.
If the devs really didn't know their game runs like dried poop on console then that means they have literally never played their game on console in the last year.
Much more likely, they know. They don't care. "Wait for next gen, scrubs! Keep buying skins!"
No thanks. Uninstalled till we get optimization.

When playing the Lery's map, the frame rate is almost unbearable on either side.
2 -
It's even worse in the center room with all the screens.
If that gen ever gets done things actually get to slide show levels as Demogorgon.
And even as someone like Trapper there's a lot of stutter if you're near or in that room.

Fps causes killeds to miss easy hits and survivors to die on hooks. Esp when you go against or use shiney blight outfits
