Almost half way into the year 4 road map but...
Optimization...or proper optimization has yet to happen for PS4 or xbox, all BHVR has done is just a lazy tone down of the graphics and that's it, nothing else and we are almost already half way done of this year 4 road map
"We will continuously improve performance on all platforms, aiming to have a baseline of 60 FPS on PS4 and XB1 for Summer 2019"
It way past summer now and there is little improvement. Its gotten to the point where frames in the lobby is bad, moving your cursor, opining a new HUD/UI, hovering over items n such causes the game to frame really badly or even freeze. And its way worse when in a live lobby waiting for everyone to get ready, its like im playing a 2001 game, frames are horrible and textures load in slowly.
Then it comes to the matches, and my god the cold wind farm maps are the worse, no anti aliasing, no wonder why it just looks like im looking at sand particles and not corns (Adds more to the frames dropping). Random frame drops or freezes when someone gets hooked or hit, as well when your the one getting hit and it freezes up and you just end up running into a wall or not even moved, more annoying is when a skill check happens and the game freezes up because someone got hit or hooked and makes me miss one. And of course just the frames in general, I would say around 30-45, lucky to get 60, but even then, its not consistent and last for a short time.
You reading this BHVR? you see all the problems consoles are having to deal with? And yet you have said not one word about improving it or doing something about it, its like you don't care for consoles anymore, toning down the graphics was the last thing you did and that's it, nothing else.

Totally couldn't of said it better myself 🐷
It's terrible on ps4 I have to keep restarting the app every few games because the frame rate gets really bad if I don't.
I am really not looking forward to the new chapter I really think that consoles are going to have even more trouble hopefully I'll be proven wrong but I have a feeling it will only get worse.
I fear nothing will be done either

I fully agree with this post.. the game is impossible to play especially as killer
The sad truth it they'll read this and ignore it 😫

I use a macro for struggle and still get random deaths....it's 100% due to the servers dropping your inputs.

I was about to say "No don't worry it's not Summer yet it's only November" but then I remembered hemispheres are a thing 🤦
I should sleep.

Yikes lol. I wish it wasn't summer yet so I could still have at least some hope that they would do what they said they would do, but oh well.

I’d be happy with 30FPS as long as it was consistent and didn’t tank whenever I do an action as killer...

Optimization needs to be the #1 priority right now cause PS4 is an ugly mess.

Question- are you guys playing on a PS4 or ps4 pro?

PS4 pro. It doesn’t make a difference though.

I wonder if the game will crash when the Oni goes into demon mode........ :O
Okay in all seriousness they have mentioned that console is going to be receiving love in the near future, including higher sensitivity love, this stuff was mentioned in the most recent stream by Mclean... with that said it is annoying we haven't seen much improvement in optimization up to now.

But I guess it not, even though if they were to properly optimize their game, it would help with a lot of their other problems as well

Near future lol, sounds more like next life, and I swear if the game on Console does crash because he goes into his power, that will be the most saddest thing lmao.
Increase sensitivity sounds nice, don't get me wrong, but I rather have better frames and less random gigantic lag spikes and frame drops.
Increase sensitivity will help in some aspect of the gameplay, but improving the frames and optimization for certain actions that happened in the game, like activating dead hard, Sprint burst, debuffs coming in, can play a huge amount into the gameplay and will be more healthy for the game if they fixed and optimized properly instead of just toning down to graphics
