2.0 PS4 ABSURD CONSTANT FRAME DROPS

in General Discussions

Is it just me or are other players from PS4 getting bad frame drops after the 2.0 update? My firends also have the same issue. I'm not sure if the lag has anything to do with it or specific maps but when I play killer I have constant frame drops second after sencond during the entire match, some as survivor also. Some matches it gets to the point of being unplayable and I have a PS4 Pro who can run games at way larger scales at 60fps. Dev team can you please by now fix the optimization for consoles? And increase the maximum speed for camera sensitivity also, it should allow up to 4x what it is currently, these small things destroy the gameplay experience on console.

    BIG ADVISE : 
    when you're repairing a gen or you gonna drop a pallet look at the sky ! This will prevent the game from freezing .
    Also to the devs , the fps is a very big issue , more important than a new chapter or balancing the game . honestly it felt the best when I were playing tutorial .

    Wow! Just played a round as Dr on new map and couldn't hit barely anyone (da fuq outta here with git gud too.. I'm a red rank p3 Dr and he's not my main) . I would swing and you could see his arm go down in SLO mo while the survivor turned (hard to explain). New map is dope as hell even though I couldn't get a 3 gen strat down because I couldn't hit survivors and map is new lol . I did prefer this game on PS4 to my PC prior to this update, but will jump on my PC with PS4 controller if this is an issue. It was pretty bad .

    ok we get it pc master race, I have the game on both, wheres my peasant comment???? :)

    dude its one thing to be a funny troll, but youre straight up annoying as [BAD WORD] and lack humour even. not everybody likes pc and they had released this game on more than just that platform so they must cater to them too.

    From everybody on this god damn forum, shut up and go away

    I hear you loud and clear brother and 100% agree

    Most normal people end up having jobs and families, a console is much friendlier to these normal people. I was a PC player as a teen, while it is generally more fun and much better overall for gaming, a console can be easily placed near the tv and enjoyed by everyone in your family regardless of their technical expertise (hint, toddlers are generally not careful around computer equipment).

    Once you hit puberty, get a job, date and reproduce you will grow to appreciate these facts.

    i get it, you are salty about your toaster not playing the game right, but dont take it out on the person trying to help you.

    just go ebay your shitbox and buy a machine that can run the game right, or stop whining about it on the forum.

    ?

    I have a beautiful PS4, with more multiple consoles, a gaming laptop and a gaming PC. If I'm going on with your attitude, then maybe you shouldn't be so poor with only your pc :(

    My point is, you're not helping and quite frankly I rather play an OchiDo match than read one more of your pc masterrace comments. Atleast be funny... but you're not...

    i have a 5yr old daughter.

    she has her own gaming pc.

    its probably better than yours.

    you have no case.

    I prefer quality time with my child, as a console allows you more of that compared to a PC. 

    You also don't know how to follow a conversation as I never whined about console issues or how my gaming machine wasn't working well. That was someone else.

    That book actually does look interesting, I might buy it from amazon for my son. Thank you.

    As a side note, I generally game 10 or so hours a week so a PC built for that would be some serious overkill. Grown ups don't dedicate that much time to games, or shouldn't.

    Hmm, PC complained about this in the forums when 2.0 released. Then Xbox complained about this when 2.0 released...

    I think it's just you, bud.

    The funny thing is PS4 players whine about Xbox and PC getting stuff 1st or exclusive releases when they have 2 of the best ones out there. The Xbox players are the same way and if you really want to smack console players for entitlements just remind them of this simple fact.

    You could be stuck trying to game with a MAC. :p

    But in all seriousness PC already had this issue then Xbox so it's only natural that PS4 will have it and should've been ready for it. They released a hotfix that fixed most of issues and Xbox will probably get one soon if they haven't already. For PS4 it'll probably happen in the next week or so.

    everyone just watched those games on youtube instead of playing them. the games are linear. sony even stated that it was concerned that more people had seen the videos than purchased it

    Well not everyone is getting it either, so it might not be just bug related but also influenced by the usual, what system, memory, internet etc.

    Lol Pc players complain about console players complaining and also complain they don't have there shrine back. Everyone is salty about something and it makes them look like children and the grown-ups they call themselves in this comment section argue and fight like thy are siblings fighting over a coloring book.

    I've restarted the system and it apparently fixed it, frame drops badly only very occasionaly now but can't tell by now if it was a perma fix or not. Maybe it could have been related to the "player connection issues" they mentioned having very recently fixed. As of now it all seems fixed and working like before 2.0. PS: I don't get these people that come comment things completly irrelevant and that don't help nor aid in solving anything.

    I had a match earlier today where it was a literal slideshow on my end. Constant stuttering and maybe 10 frames a second. I asked the survivors in the match if they felt it, and they said it felt fine on their end. Using a killers power has always made the game lag out (Huntress landing a hatchet or Myers going into tier 3) and it was bad enough then, but now it is almost unplayable sometimes. Back revving with Billy is a coin toss if the game decides to freak out on you. BHVR needs to give console a quality option. I’m fine with setting my game to low if it means I can actually use my power effectively.

    This comment is just ignorant and does add nothing productive to this discussion. What are you trying to start the console vs PC war all over again? Typical troll imo.
    To the actual topic this thread is about: Yes, there are real FPS issues, even on PC. I have GTX 1050 and get really bad frame drops especially on Shelter Woods map since the 2.0.0 update. Before it ran at a solid 60 FPS. The devs are aware of it and trying to identify the problem. But who knows if they can fix it again soon.
