Played straight 6h yesterday right after the update, platform PS5.
Conclusions:
1. Congrats your update installs in 3-4 seconds with almost 17GB content while e.g. Rocket League with 350MB update installed 2-3 minutes... That's minor but it's convenient. Keep it that way.
2. Performance definitely increased, the framerate doesn't drop and spike as much as it used to in very crowded and detailed places like markets etc. It's not perfect yet but even before it was fine so now it's like fine+. But in the end the game should run at 60fps@4K fixed for PS5 but I understand it takes a dedicated PS5 version to achieve that and it's only for now since it's PS4 game. Nevertheless, the difference is easily visible.
3. Loading times are again faster like with every previous update. It's pretty close to getting to the sweet spot point. I know it's very challenging to create a game with such a massive world to be loadingless so I respect the fact that you're trying to achieve this and it's already a good achievement to only load for cut-scenes. Keep it up.
4. Radio stopped working for me. Whatever station I choose, it's not working.
5. Button tips stuck on a vehicle from one of the Panam's missions seems to be fixed.
6. Whole character menu seems more responsive, especially the backpack with lots of items.
7. When disassembling a gun from the bottom of the list (perhaps other items, too), the scroll glitches weirdly instead of just staying on the bottom of the list.
8. The game crashed after 6 hours. I was pretty close to believing it doesn't crash anymore. That was a very long session and also the crash wasn't preceded with more fps spikes as it had before. It just crashed out of mission going around the city, on my way to pick up a mission. It's much better regarding that, there is no the longer you play, the laggier the game gets. But for sure it still needs some work. A lot of people will probably say it doesn't crash at all because 6h playtime is not something many people do and I'm looking forward to checking if it'll crash playing typical 2-3 hours at once.
9. Settings got resetted and I'm trying default video settings again.
10. Hasn't experienced much glitches but I also didn't before the update. I could maybe count them all on my fingers from ~70h playtime.
11. I don't know if that's a fact because I can't compare but it seems like the sounds improved?! Somehow felt better but that may be false.
Overall a very good update, the game could easily be released like that as initial release, at least for PS5. Can't wait for February update but of course will be waiting while playing the game! It's freaking addictive. I can't remember last time I've played something for 6 hours. I'm usually bored after 2. Thanks CDRP for this game and making a difference in a gaming world instead of releasing copies of already checked and safe ideas and going your own path instead. Of course that road does have haters who will always be there to put you down. Ignore them.
