People don't realize that console optimization only does so much...

Why don't they give them visual settings like pc dbd has? PROBLEM SOLVED
They just cbf to put any time at all into console and are relying on the raw power of next gen to run their unoptimized pile of.....

I don't understand why people are excusing the poor console optimization because I thought it was common knowledge that DbD is poorly optimized even for PC, the system it released on. The devs simply made a poorly optimized game, so the consoles themselves aren't exactly the cause of the problem.

I mean they work perfectly on the newer consoles.

The hardware can certainly sustain it. The PS4 handles other games way better compared to DBD. Think about TLOU 2. Hell, even the Switch can handle Doom eternal, i'm sure if it was properly optimized DBD would run like a charm.

It doesn't. It runs better because the new consoles are more powerful. Need I remind you that there are far more demanding games that run flawlessly on the PS4?
Realistically, very little has changed in terms of how dbd runs between 2016 and now. If anything, it's gotten worse instead of better.

What exactly is your agenda here? How does players bringing up concerns about game performance on systems the developer claims the game runs on affect you? Multiple people have told you about games that run better than DBD on their older consoles even though they were made later or are more graphically demanding yet you continue to minimize their concerns because? Is BHVR working on optimization for PS4, XBox 1 and lower end PCs going to ruin your experience?

They did work perfectly when they new consoles were first released but after several patches players on new consoles have started to notice FPS drops from some of the specific triggers like Sloppy Butcher again. Overall newer consoles currently run better than the older ones but performance issues are starting to work their way in again.

Ah yes a small company of 700 employees and over 100 million dollars in annual revenue. Xbox One S game barely runs.

This. People need to stop thinking of bhvr as a small indie studio. They arent that anymore

Yeah this has been getting worse every chapter for over a year now, there is no excuse now with how successful the studio has gotten. It's definitely not a hardware issue, i can play multiplayer games that constantly get updated monthly like SMITE, Elder scrolls Online, For Honor and Destiny 2 with no major lag or stutters whatsoever.

Its so frustrating to be told 'we'll improve performance on older hardware' and then instead they make it even more graphics and effects intensive to make it look a little prettier on newer hardware and it actually makes the game run a million times worse on old hardware.
I knew this was going to be the outcome back when they updated Lerys with all the lighting effects and sparks; I just wanted to believe them when they said optimisaton for old hardware was important to them.
If they now turn around and tell me upgrade or stop playing, it would feel like I've been conned into sticking around and spending money based on empty words and lip service. If I'd quit back then I would've saved myself a fortune and a lot of stress playing a game that runs poorly, on the false hope they gave that they gave us all with that March 2019 update.
It just seems like the plan all along was to say they're going to address the performance issues but not actually do anything about it, until new hardware comes out and hope the majority upgrade so you never have to address the issues and the remaining minority get brushed under the rug and replaced with brand new spenders.
