Update broke Ps4/console
Comments

I haven't bought Descent Beyond or any cosmetics. Whatever the next chapter is, I'm not getting it.
I have enough auric cells leftover from the 1st Rift so I can get any future ones I complete - I really enjoy playing DbD - but I'm not getting any cosmetics or chapters until they fix the game for console.
Obviously what I buy or don't buy doesn't matter in the slightest to the devs; but it makes any similar actions by someone else more meaningful.
I just hope it adds up enough so that BHVR notices and does something.

It’s pretty bad on ps4. It was good before update though. WTH happened

Frame rate is really bad in every match on ps4, its almost unplayable at moments. Sucks when new updates come out, it has you wondering whats going to get screwed up this time.

Same here, the frames are horrible for like ten seconds, then it smooths out, and I’m on a normal PS4. Also what is with the killer stance when you load in? All the killers I have played have their arms outstretched, holding their weapons.

Horrible update for PS4 players. Pretty much unplayable without getting motion sickness from all the stuttering. Just in time for the event too :( I hope it gets fixed soon but I am not holding my breath.

Just played first game as killer since update. That was horrible. It’s unplayable.

Can confirm, it's obvious on every level immediately on starting as both killer and survivor. Slightly improves after about 2 minutes in, but still broken, and reverts to unplayable once you get hit/start a chase.

3 games into the new update on PS4 and I've already got a DC penalty on a game I did not disconnect from. I touched a regressing generator on new coal tower and I was disconnected. The post game lobby showed the killer had disconnected and the 2 other survivors still in the match. I retained all blood points but had a 4 minute penalty.
I saved the clip but if this continues won't my disconnection penalty grow?

hey so ive never made an account on dbd forums as ive never run into issues i couldnt solve by reading other posts on here. after the graphics update as im sure some of you are aware, it dropped the fps on ps4 to a point of unplayability. i havent seen anyone touch on what is happening on switch. the fog is forming weird like polygon shapes and is near impossible to see through. ive tried restartinf my game playinf as both hunter and killer after checking twitter i determined it is a issue with all dbd switch players. any updates on patch? i was looking forward to the next tome too :/

This was happening to me quite a lot, too. My ping would be roughly 40, but then as soon as the match starts my PS4 was lagging me everywhere and I was getting disconnect penalties without ever intentionally disconnecting.
Is your PS4 connected via wifi? Last week I picked up an $8 ethernet cable and ran it from my PS4 straight to my router, changed settings to LAN connection, and I haven't had an issue since then. If that's in any way a possibility for you I highly recommend it, because I was getting frustrated to tears previously, but I haven't had to stress on it since I switched over.
That being said, I haven't had a chance to play on today's patch, so there's a possibility my fix was only temporary.

It's listed as a known bug in the patch notes.

Really bummed since the new Legion cosmetic got me to tune in and play. Than I could barely play. Ah well, at least I didn't pay any money, just used the free ACs the Devs gave me.

Unfortunately I don't care to run all that Ethernet through my house to fix a issue that started today. Yes I am on Wi-Fi but this seems to be an issue with dc penalties and optimization. Both things out of my hands.

My game is stuttering on both killer and survivor trials, on pretty much a brand new PS4 Pro :(

It's awful as killer lol 😂

All the replies are not an exaggeration. It's REAL. omg. This game is seriously borderline unplayable right now for me. Base PS4...

I've had this issue a few times before but not recently. Now, I wouldn't bother playing on PS4 after the update. The patch has completely broken the game for a vast majority of PS4 players. I only played one match after the update because I had a solid 3 frames the entire time.

It’s clear at this point that the game is not tested on PS4 at all and I feel very undervalued as a customer.
6 -
Yes today after the update. The game is more lag than I've seen it.

Thanks for the footage I couldn’t bare putting myself threw it again to grab a video it was painful XD

Didn’t even kno this was a thing tbh

It’s so upsetting the event comes out later, I don’t think I can even participate with how the game is running :( I’m actualy sad
5 -
Someone else reported that too and I'm pretty sure the team are aware of it, at least from what i've seen

im having the same issue on switch! its so hard to play on switch, even on maps its so hard to see stuff because of all the white polygons. i hope it'll get resolved soon

My friend had the same problem yesterday. 2 dc's without a reason. 20 mins penalty.

The fps on this latest patch has been horrible.
Almost a PowerPoint presentation for consoles, can we expect a hotfix within the next day or two? If not, an extension of the event?
Please don't screw console players out of enjoying the event.

I normally give the devs the benefit of doubt, but this time, this patch, it’s absolutely abysmal, and they should be ashamed and embarrassed that they allowed this to go live.
Do they even test on console?!
11 -
Yeah, this is making me wonder if they even test on console or if they just trot it out. Like, I get that they can't do a PTB for console. That's fine and completely understandable. But they should at least test the game on consoles themselves before going live with it. There's no way someone tested this game on PS4 and thought "This is fine." I'm sure they're working on a fix, but hopefully it won't be 2 weeks-a month before they fix it. The game is pretty much unplayable right now, even at 720. It'd be nice if they at least told us "We're aware of the issue, and are working on getting a fix ASAP."

Running on Ethernet cable with gigabit speed and still choppy. I don’t believe connection is the problem

Anyone who said its kinda or borderline unplayable is way off...it is completely unplayable....it was just killer that was all over the place but somewhat playable but now both survivor and killer are done....it is fully an unplayable game...needs to be fixed like now...######### do you devs not play this game on console before you release all this trash...friday the 13th plays better than this garbage now...and thats embarrassing.

My original comment was made before I'd played the new update, and after a number of matches I played today I agree with you, my ethernet cable doesn't appear to be making the difference I had thought it did at first.

So I played four games today on PS4.
Hallowed Blight Doctor on Pale Rose: It went ok, but I could tell that the frames were not ok and the map was saving them. Just swinging my weapon or entering would make me lose a lot of frames. I’m scared to get an indoor map or MacMillan.
Laurie on Hawkins: Frames dropped at the beginning when walking.
Freddy on Midwich: Surprisingly, it didn’t go too bad. Frames didn’t drop to unplayable levels. They weren’t perfect but they were better than the Doc game.
Laurie on Torment Creek: Little to no FPS problems.
First impressions seem alright, but I have a feeling that I just got lucky. Still, the fact that so many people are getting hit with unplayable FPS is unacceptable and it needs to be fixed ASAP.

Hello!
The Devs are aware and investigating issues with frame rate on the PS4 after the 4.3.0 patch. We will keep you updated.
