Playstation 4 Framerate topic (2,0)

[Deceneus]

no sign of improvements after 1.08, even worst, roight now, on skellige isle, during night and during fights i've encountered lag, delays, i am attacking and the game is running with lags, delay of 1 sec.

the game on ps4 is getting worst and worst with every patch released

 

[cpt_blueberry]

Did you test the xbox one version with the 1.08 patch?

Didn't test it myself but have seen a bunch of people saying that the xbox one version even in the bog is running at a stable framerate...

 

[miguelfcp]

In fog areas the framerate continues to drop. But for example in Novigrad by night with the fire along the way, the game doesn't stutter like before. It improoved the framerate the patch but the fog areas still needs some work.

Shame is the word that comes to mind now.
It seems that the team conducts the update patches and just "translate" for the PS4, without even trying to optimize for the console only way according to your hardware settings.
From the first day the patch just brought downgrades and worsening in performance and graphics.
Take a look is now unplayable in some places map ....
<span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="hps">[video=youtube;oFZSmlYB-bw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFZSmlYB-bw[/video]
It had happened a big downgrade in the shadows and AF filter and it made things worse the performance ......
1.00

1.04 and +

And to worsen the developer team only respond on social networks to positive comments, criticisms and downgrade of evidence in performance and graphs they just pretend it did not happen.
Marcin Momot never answered after it was proved that there was downgrade in the game, he said there was never downgrade in the game, but after proved the opposite started to ignore all the "buyers" of the game to complain.
PS:I will replicate this post in a separate topic for now moderators are locking all topics that are not "favorable" to the game.
I repeat that this does not mean that the game is bad just the team of developers are paying little attention to the PS4 version and this is sure to reflect the long-term future developer releases for the PS4 platform

@edit .....already put out the topic I created with this post ....

Wow, WTF!? I bought my copy after they specifically promised performance upgrades for 1.07 as a consistent 20 fps is ridiculous. I waited for a month and that didn't happen. Now I find out that not only has performance not been improved but the graphics are worse than launch day. WHAT!? How? Why? I'm waiting another week for them to acknowledge this and if there's no evidence of them working on an actual fix to performance and a return to launch day quality visuals I'm selling my copy.

Considering that it did not improve performance at all and that in some areas the framerate drops even more than in previous versions of the game, I think it is safe to assume that the problems are with the game engine.

 

[Grindders]

Wow, i am shocked! It is new to me that they reduced the shadows so dramatical. This is a downgrade or a bug. I hope that this is a bug.

Patch 1.01 - first big downgrade.
Patch 1.03 - second big downgrade.

1.02 vs 1.03
1. downgraded shadows in cutscenes

Look at this soft beautiful shadow on 1.02 patch:

And now look at THIS on 1.03 patch:

2. Terrible pop ins.

3. Less numbers of NPCs (Novigrad and Oxenfurt looks like a ghost towns now).

All that problems come with 1.03 patch on PS4 (Everything was great on 1.02 version).

Also Novigrad and Oxenfurt looks like a ghost towns on 1.03 version.

Also about 1.07

Patch 1.07 - Draw distance even worse than before

Just look at the grass, shadows, objects...

Please, CDPR, fix this problem. Game looks really worse now.

I really hope that this is a bug because of 1.07 patch, not another intentional downgrade.

FPS at 1.07 patch:

So

1.0 version - best graphics, but problems with fps.
1.01 version - first big downgrade: no shadows on the distance, worse water, worse AF filtering, etc, but better fps.
1.02 version = 1.01.
1.03 version - second big downgrade: worse shadows in cutscenes, terrible pop-in, less numbers of NPC (Novigrad and Oxenfurt looks like a ghost town), etc, but FPS still like at 1.01 version.
1.05 version - worse ground textures, but same FPS.
1.07 version - worse draw distance, textures loading really slow now (you can see blured NPC even in cutscenes now!!), worse fps (!!!)
1.08 = 1.07 (all problems still here. even slow loading of textures, yes), but FPS = like it was at 1.01.

Guys I think the most Copies were sold on PS4.
They are still at content-patches, next week we most likely see the new game+ mode. At some Point, before the Expansions are out (I hope) they most likely go into finetuning of each console.
For now they probably prioritize things that are important for all Plattforms. So relax a bit, be patient. They always delivered till now.

I don't know if anyone posted thus before, but here you go, ps4 framerate, 1.08:

I dont see the problem you got a 4fps boost in the patch. Before it was 20fps or below. I dont think its worth downgrading the graphics for performance since only one part of the game runs that poorly rest game runs amazing 30fps 1080p.

If you don't see a problem, you must be blind. What 4 fps boost?! Because AVERAGE fps is 25? I don't care about average, I want a fairly constant 28-30 all the time, not 29-30, then 19-20 for combat in the bog...
Who spoked about downgrade? You think it's the only option to boost performace? I don't think so, just cdpr desperately needs some competent developer.

We all know that a downgrade is not the only way to boost performance. In fact it is the easiest way. Our concern is that CDPR can not or won’t do enough of optimisation to boost performance (by only improving the code) but instead it looks like they reduce some graphic properties (shadows ...) to reach better fps.

We would like that CDPR improve performance only by optimising the code and leaving the graphics like it was since Version 1.0 (or 1.01 would be OK too).

Exactly, that would be the best possible option, but I doubt this will ever happen Yesterday I've tweeted the gamersyde analysis to @marcin360 (Marcin Momot) and @witchergame and got following answer: Hi, have you tried reaching out to our tech support team? http://en.cdprojektred.com/contact-support/ …

 

[sandimeindi]

Ooh that ominous tech support team link - tried it a couple of times - thats like handing you a bucket of water to douse a full blown forest fire...

Tbh atm i think they are well aware of that issue - i mean, most of the PS4 community and outside of it is aware of the issue...

And to give them credit, at least the last patch notes were partially correct - they fixed performance issues introduced with 1.07 .... for the Xbox One at least...

It would just be awesome if they would finally come out of the closet or pull their heads out of the sand and acknowledge if they plan on fixing the performance for the PS4 or NOT....the PS4 has more than enough horsepower to run the game at the same settings as the Xbox One... and i couldnt care less if its 900p or 1080p (and im playing on a 75" TV) - i rather have stable 27-30 fps than this locked 20fps madness...(and yes i know its probably not the resolution causing the problem rather than the shitty optimization and the double-buffering method of v-sync) - why they didnt turn that crapload off till now is beyond me - that would probably fix (insert random % between 1-50%) of the complaints - but hey they have our money so what?!

/rant off...

Well for ps4 users looks like better reinstall the game and play at 1.0 ver.
And to give up "free" bugged dlc, cuz they are still bugged at 1.8, as the performance, but picture is better.

"Thanks" for "amazing" patches and dlc.

 

[GeneralChaos101]

i made the big mistake of installing patch 1.08 from 1.05 where i was, and i have to say i'm extremely dissapointed and angry, the game was "almost" fine before, now the constant microstuttering and frame rate drops are destroying my experience with the game, i was gonna buy the dlc because i loved the game at version 1.05 but if you don't manage to fix it i will not buy jack shit, frame rate is more important than everything else, funny how a patch can make perfomance even worse than before, this is insane!

Hello again.
Are there any news about our problem with game downgrade?
Did anybody wrote to cd project?
I don't think they are reading this.

Another one thing - 1.01 v adds dlc support except graphics downgrade, so you can't cut Geralts beard (maybe in visima in the beginnings).
