The Continued Ignorance of Performance Issues Continues to Hamper Player Fun

No surprise honestly

Optimization in this game is the worst i've ever seen even though it's graphically not exactly groundbreaking.

Like,i would totally understand the FPS drops/screen freezes of they would happen because a lot of things are happening on your screem,lots of explosions etc.

But we get those FPS drops/screen freezes because it plays a little and simple animations or because of a damn tiny status effect/perk icons appearing on your screen.And apparently BHVR isn't able to fix this after 2+ years,even though it's very much gamebreaking and should be a top priority issue.

And then we see those people trying to argue that your late gen console can't handle that/is outdated hardware even though it's able to handle games of the caliber of RDR 2,The Witcher 3,Horizon Zero Dawn,God of War,Final Fantasy 7 Remastered etc.

I will never get it why BHVR just refuses to communicate with us about important things like that.

This game could be so much more if the company behind it wouldn't be so deaf and profit oriented like it is now.

I miss the companies that really try their best to deliver a great product.

A few years back TydeTyme gave it a go on a PS4. I watched him play Hag in the corn, and pronounced it "both gross and disgusting."

Puppers used to play (Fridays I think) with viewers also on PS4 but abandoned that a year back.

In the last two weeks I've noted both Jund and Tru (best friends these days I see) have called out frame drops as they happen to their fancy dancy PCs.

Hope abounds for us consolers with all that happening...

I’m really starting to feel bitter towards BHVR. It’s actually disgusting how bad things currently are on Xbox but they won’t address it. Buying an Ps5 or the new Xbox console isn’t a real solution. Address the freaking situation for crying out loud. Your company is pathetic.

Why him? He was making fun of console players his entire stream when crossplay came out.

He is the last person I would want to be represented by ngl

I think It would be nice to ask many bigger streamers to play one stream on console. Just one person wouldnt have a big impact. But a big community day where many streamers participate on console just to showcase how bad it is would put some more light on the issue. Scott has done many videos with nice ideas, but they were ignored. Hes not big enough.

I doubt we'll got one.

Myself and swf teammate stopped buying anything (DLC or cosmetics) from DBD last summer due to the performance issues and no signs of it getting better. We considered getting the RE DLC but with the response someone else showed from BHVR pretty much saying optimization won't happen we've decided to definitely not buy it.

Time to get someone from Twitter with a blue check mark to comment on the matter.

This is getting ridiculous, especially considering how much gaming has increased during the pandemic and how much Sony has emphasized keeping PS4 updated.

BHVR just got Capcom to do a chapter with them. Capcom actually appreciates console as a platform, given that they had extended period to play RE8 demo exclusively for PS4/PS5 players. BHVR should take some notes from Capcom about how to treat most of their player base.

I understand completely. I've had issues with framerates too. My framerates were very bad in a match that my console didn't register a pallet drop.

I'm so sad to read this I really adore you both so much to loose such amazing gamers is never good .But I also stand with you and you choices I think it's the only way to really get a response possibly 🤞

I myself limit my play on the game slowly adding in different content so I don't have to suffer through the game performance it's super sad because I love the game just the performance makes it utterly unenjoyable

😟🐷

I mean,they definetely cared at the beginning but as DbD got more and more successful the company behind it got more and more greedy and lazy.

And sure,they are losing players because of this but they get more than enough new players from all the new content who have yet to discover how this company really thinks about its consumers.

As a wise man once said,"It just works".

Welp this post is almost 800 replies with Jack #########

Man, that's really sad to hear. It'd really suck to see you two go, but if you really don't want to be apart of this game anymore (which let's be real here, is completely understandable) I won't stop you.

Pretty sad that the devs have seen this thread for sure already, they are just choosing not to reply, deliberately leaving us in the dark. I was optimistic before, but it really feels like they are just ignoring us.

They could have at least said that it was confirmed that optimization was coming as they said in the RE livestream. Just write a little comment confirming this in this thread and that will be it, I would be happy.
