Its extremely bad as blight with the new cosmetic. it's lagging like hell

It’s ridiculous, it’s Borderline not playable unless you stand still and don’t move your camera or run lol
18 -
damn... i really hope they have a hotfix soon :/

I always hear about people having bad framerate on console, but I never have much issue and maybe it's because I use a ps4 Pro.
However, My game was running like a switch as survivor on the new Suffocation pit. I'm gonna go test killer on the new maps now, I hope its not as unplayable.
12 -
yeah, i have the slim and its pretty bad. last update had really good frames though so i dont know how they made it this bad this patch
5 -
Yeah,using blighted skins on console is a big no no because it affects your perfomance quite a bit
4 -
Bad very, very bad. I'm used to bad framerates on this game (especially on maps like Ormond) but now, every map is a slideshow. I get drops during the panning sequence now. It's pretty much unplayable atm.
16 -
very choppy
4 -
Soo, what you're telling me is people are going to have to start another thread about console FPS and have it get ignored for weeks?
Cool I guess
35 -
Perfomance got worse after a new update?
I'm shocked....
10 -
Still downloading :(

I'M IN

Every map is now choppy. It’s insane how bhvr screws the game up with every single thing they do.
devs——-> TURN ON A PS4 AND TEST BEFORE RELEASING THIS TRASH!!
honestly, do we need to start a gofundme to buy you clowns a PS4, Xbox, switch so you will test this crap?
pathetic company
32 -
it's bad, BAD, B AAAAAA DDDDDD
AWFUL
Honestly, I'm just shocked how they managed to destroy every improvement they made in the last patch in a fraction of a second and it is now officially the worst iteration of the game that I ever played (framerate wise).
If you want to see for yourself, we are currently live at
(www.twitch.tv/nobsyde)
but I'm telling you, it's a pain.

I use a pro I have not had a issue before compared to today after the update usually it’s jsut the normal frames drop but it’s ok, since I downloaded the update at 4pm just wow Ahah wow is literally the best word for it
2 -
The frame rate is the worst it has ever been. By a considerable margin. It's not even restricted to the new maps.
15 -
This cannot be Ignored and if it is it will cause ps4 players not to play as it’s unplayable, before the patch is was fine now it’s really bad, It’s not the usual complaints about FPS drops from sloppy or franckines, or from a wiff it’s just in general when your moving around the map, if you stand still it’s still noticeable but moving is when it is at the worst
4 -
I don’t have many problems now- the main advice i can give is to take the DC penalty if there’s the new Blight skin in the lobby and don’t use it as killer. However, my first game was incredibly choppy but it got much much better the more I played

If you don't get my reference, a few patches ago console FPS was completely broken. The devs ignored an EXTREMELY popular thread about it for weeks until they finally acknowledged console issues.
11 -
Welp...good thing I just got the game on Steam for my videos. I was looking forward to playing on my playstation tonight though.
0 -
Huge frame drops at least on reworked maps. That's it lads. Ps4 is dead.
3 -
The game is unplayable atm.. tried ghostfaces blight outfit and it was like a slideshow, game runned fine before this patch. @Peanits

I'm on ps4 original, crossplay off. I just played 2 survivor matches, one against Freddy on Azarovs and the other against Deathslinger on Fractured Cowshed. Both loading in during the circling animation it was stuttering pretty bad, the stuttering didn't improve much during the matches either. Just trying to run felt wicked bad. Freddy match we all escaped but I think Freddy was having a rough time. Deathslinger match two teammates killed themselves on 2nd hook so he farmed with me and the remaining teammate. If it's crappy for survivors I can't imagine how bad it is for the killers. 😬
7 -
if its bad with crossplay off i cant even imagine whats is like with that thing on, this game looks like a bethesda product more and more with each update
6 -
It's even worse on indoor maps.
I mean i already hated them but now they are even WORSE with these atrocious FPS.
Very unfortunate because i was excited for the event but with those FPS i would rather not play at all.
6 -
Oh I didn’t kno this, I’ve just always known ps4 been abit broken but i can deal with it after the update today I was like what in the hell has happened XD
0 -
Try indoor maps.Those are even worse :D
2 -
It's incredibly bad.
I can't tell the difference between 40 fps and 60 fps because I'm practically framerate blind. But even I can see how bad it is. Loaded into a game as survivor, and the match was just awful because the framerate was THAT bad.
6 -
Can’t play it with the frame rate this bad!!!!!! what’s the point of the Update/tome/new event when all of PS4 players can’t play?
fix it soon please!
4 -
Hey folks, if you're using a PS4, what you can do is decrease your resolution to 720p in the settings. Granted, your image quality will be worse but you will get more frames and less stuttering.
0 -
Hoooorible. The beginning of the match is unbearably laggy to the point I just have to sit there and wait. Sometimes, the lag stops, but then it comes back in waves. Please, devs, fix the game 'cause I can't play it as is.
3 -
Haven’t heard as many PC players voicing complaints about the poor FPS
wonder what dev’s primary focus always is🤔
7 -
Almost unplayable. I have never said this before but it is actually going to make me quit if they don't do something about it.
9 -
The notes say they fixed the hex totems appearing as dull totems but that's still broken. I finished 4 dull totems while ruin was active and came upon a 5th dull one just as the wraith was slugging everyone to capitalize on the lag. I can't say whether cleansing the last totem would've deactivated the hex or not. Definitely unplayable unless your goal is to lose pips.
1 -
I'm speechless. I have no words for this. How did this get permission to be published?!!
This was my first match with the new patch, ps4 pro btw:
BHVR FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SATAN AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN GET YOUR ######### TOGETHER! This is unacceptable!
12 -
It’s choppy for me too. Running ps4 with ssd external and it’s terrible and unplayable.
3 -
@MandyTalk this needs to be addressed yesterday.
I'm sorry but really this is so upsetting, I really can't believe what you guys did. You managed to break even survivors gameplay: welcome back impossible stuttery skill checks!
Last time I was worried, but now... I'm just depressed.
16 -
this is even worse than what I get btw, and I'm on a FAT ps4.
just... wow.
I'll post a couple of videos later.
7 -
I keep telling myself “only 3 more weeks till PS5. Only 3 more weeks till PS5.”
and “please please PLEASE run better on PS5. Surely it will run better on PS5?!”
Yeah, sure there ARE PS5 games I can’t wait to play, but the naive hope of DBD running better in PS5’s boost mode is my main motivation for getting one.
Oh mighty god of video games, I pray to thee. Please let DBD have tremendously improved performance on next gen. Please 🙏
5 -
Well this the best made case for a ps5 that ive seen so far. I was hoping ps4 pro would escape whatever this patch is.
3 -
Yes this new experience is quite heartbreaking.
Btw I'm depressed about the game now too, you are not alone! <3
Like, I knew they didn't care about console but this time the devs outdid themselves. Just wow!
5 -
1 word, H O R R I B L E
I thought framerates could not be any worse, but now frames are dropping like snoop dogg in 2004
9 -
Honestly, I’m gonna love all the PS5 games I’ll play at launch, but if the first time I play DBD on PS5 there is no (or next to little) improvement in performance, I will just die inside.
6 -
It's Horrible. No dbd update before has caused such horrible performance for me.
9 -
I love how the first match ive had since my break from the general stress that this game gives me, due to how long it takes for balancing, toxicity, and console performance, is the literal worst state ive ever seen this game in for its framerate.
Im starting to have no confidence. It's literally unplayable for me, almost a month of not playing and I gotta deal with this? I'll just go play minecraft and divinity original sin 2.
Bhvr you can do better then this. I know you can.
7 -
Worst part is, this is most likely how we're gonna be for the whole Halloween event. I can't see an hot fix coming quicker than that.
It's moments like these that make me absolutely hate the answer they gave for a game health chapter. If the team can do both why is this such a frequent problem? What a damn shame.
18 -
Dead by Power Point Presentation it is
12 -
I have played a few matches and it is terrible. Everything is very choppy and stuttering.
6 -
Agree it is going to SUCK to play the event this way.. Not even sure I'll be able to
6 -
[BAD WORD]ing hell this is awful. It stutters like crazy whether I play survivor or killer.
Who can play like this? If console players want to complete the Rift, they'll have to load into matches and just stand there to earn XP. Playing normally much less trying to complete Tome challenges isn't possible with the game in this state.
