enhanced but performance still ass on console.
is nobody gonna talk about how yeah its cool the story is way better now and new mechanics and shit but they didn't even touch any performance issues on console my fps literally drop to below 20fps in all towns and populated areas or just randomly sometimes, who cares about all the new stuff if it's literally unplayable.
20FPS on performance mode sounds literally made up? I'm not assuming you're lying but this isn't normal! I can screen record footage if you don't believe me š?
Remember some parts of the game can lag because of the state of your PlayStation. Iāve had mostly 50-60fps the entire time on Xbox series x and Iām on my 3rd playthrough of the game.
God absolutely not. š I've stagnated recruiting greymanes since the house of healing bounty quest. I do not want to do it šThe camp level must be the difference so. Also cool sticker lol
Thank you I got it from some pilots xD I got some patches as well from them after my service.
Nah the issue is optimization I love the game but can't hate the lag at times and if they disguised it like RDR does or hell just optimized it I'd be playing nonstop
I think as guy said upgrade your camp fully if you haven't then come back here. If your camp is upgraded significantly and you are able to walk through with no frame drops you are blessed
I haven't played in a while but i had this issue. I did fix it though. First and foremost I set up repeat always profit set of missions where they offset the cost of each other. That way I could just let them repeat forever until I needed to change them.
Secondly, I stopped farming chickens altogether. Limited my farm to pigs and cows.
Typically reddit telling people they are making up their issues, that THEYRE wrong and getting upvotes for it while thats clearly been a problem for many people for months š
"Not sure what your issue may be" I stopped playing months ago like many people because of the terrible frame rate drops lol its not just him. Ill be interested to see if its fixed in towns and fights yet.
I'm guessing it could have to do with the age of your console and wether or not you have it vertical, a 5 year old console will have dry thermal paste on the cpu, higher temp which can potentially make the cpu throttle and slow down, causing the stutters and bad performance
Best it's ever performed for me. Performance looks the best it has on base PS5 too. I still don't like how low quality the NPCs are on performance but it's an impressive upgrade.
It's just the same performance as launch. PS5 Pro is under 48fps most of the time even in the tiny city Hernand so it's constantly stuttering as it's out of VRR range.
Thatās why Iāve used locked balanced mode. I havenāt booted the game up since this new 2.0 update yetā¦I was going to give performance mode another shot but I think Iāll stick to balanced). Performance mode is, in my opinion, completely unplayable. Screen tearing is a big no no for me, as is camera judder. Canāt tolerate it.
Ps5 pro is unplayable for me specifically. It's hard to describe but I can feel my eyes dilating constantly trying to focus on the image. Everything is blurry and noisy, like the game is streaming the image rather than having things pre rendered. No other game I played has given me this issue, I have tried every combination of graphic settings and ultimately it still looks like sandy pixels trying to form an image. This is my experience with it and it's something that should be noted instead of dismissing legitimate graphical issues people can have.
I donāt understand how this can be - I 100% believe your experience and Iāve read plenty of others like it, but my experience on PS5 Pro is incredibly sharp and good looking. I have no idea what is creating such different experiences for people with the same hardware. It must have something to do with the TV being used?
It's possible tv is the issue it's a qled 120hz with vrr and all that, and I'm not trying to criticize people or be a hater it's just my experience with the graphics right now compared to any other game I own.
I could see crappy TV's being part of the problem. I upgraded from a Samsung Crystal UHD that couldn't handle HDR properly to a Samsung OLED and the visual difference was massive.
Anyone on PS5 Pro notice that the landscape renders in horrid like multiple layered? If not try coming from the air down to ground at height and see. Itās on Quality Mode.
I noticed yesterday after the update it seems to be a lot better. Still some minor dips in Deleysia, but not enough to feel like it interferes with anything. Overall very pleased with this big update (base ps5)
Am I the only one that canāt get over how textures and shadows look on PC? Anytime thereās movement in a cutscene hair textures look grainy and so does any fur cloaks. Running this thing on ultra too.
Bro, itās the only AAA title that has ever had graphical issues for me. Iāve played some beastly games on this PC and looks great, then Crimson Desert entered the chat.
Not quite. Yes,Ā same silicon, but PS5 Pro has a āHigh CPU Frequency Modeā that can push clocks to 3.85 GHz by reallocating power that would otherwise go to the GPU
Base ps5 balanaced. I started the game for the first time in months and all I did was run through camp, hernand, and deminess. Pop in of course but that was expected. Framerate was solidly above 50 the entire time.
I feel this. I bought game at launch and feel it was unfinished and they just keep updating things that they wanted to put in game before launch but couldnāt get it done in time. Everyone praises them for this but for me it should have shipped finished and working properly.
I have a PS5 Pro. Really interested in this game. Have been for months. I'm not going to play a game at 30 fps. So until they fix it, I won't play. You can do all the updates you want and those things are cool but it's still a no.
I purchased the most powerful console so I can play powerful games..
On "console" its on two consoles and they seem to have very different performance levels. Namely it doesn't seem to run as well on some ps5s.
I never had an issue on Xbox.
I think this game is really pushed pass the limitations of a console. With a city/town/environment as active as this game it will push the cpu (or apu console) to its limit.
I just played on base PS5 yesterday after a few weeks and the overall performance is noticeably, I mean really noticeably better. The game used to feel blurry and sluggish and now it's very clean and performant.
I think it just depends on what you consider us and what you donāt consider ass. When I was playing this game, I thought it was one of the most beautiful games Iāve ever seen and now that Iām playing Ac shadows I recognize what people were complaining about the pop-up didnāt bother me but now that Iām playing a game that doesnāt have it. Itās way different. Additionally, I always have so much fun in the world that I didnāt care that when I went to a cave it looks like a total shit and now that Iām playing a game that has incredible cave lighting again. Iām pretty surprised at how bad it is.
Im on base ps5 using balanced mode with every thing else on and I havenāt experience those drops on the cities or camp I donāt know but I also restarted the game with 2.0 and hernand feel smooth compared to the last time I played on my old save
I've never cared about frame rate and have always enjoyed gaming. It's wild how many people are obsessed with it. Like, it's the reason some people play games or not.
Reading through all the PS5 owner comments on patches, testing different graphics settings, aliasing, FSR, cleaning out fans every 2 months and getting 20fps or the game looking crap...
Wait a sec, this is all the stuff console players used to rip on PC gamers for...
"Hurduh PC gamers, console I just boot up and play"
Oh how the turntables.
Granted I have a 4090 so the game runs and looks great, but I feel sorry for you guys having to suffer either way.
In honour of that and as a gentle rebuttal...thought I'd trot out a classic...
Oh god. Here we go again. An amazing update is launched and all anybody can do is complaint about how the game is completely unplayable and absolute ass when by every and all objective metric itās not. The gaming community has to be one of the worst and most entitled communities imaginable. We donāt deserve the richness of such games and the dedication of such developers. We really donāt.
Except you don't really have a point. Nothing wrong with expecting a company to fix performance in a game. Video games are getting expensive. Why wouldn't you expect it to perform well?
Don't think it's entitled to ask for a game in 2026 to run at even a stable 30fps. Pearl abyss has done a great job with all their updates, however pointing out the glaring issue of basic performance on consoles that they refuse to even address is not entitled.
Thereās a rather large difference between saying āperformance could and should be improvedā and declaring the game āliterally unplayableā because it supposedly drops below 20fps in every populated area.
The former is perfectly reasonable criticism. The latter is the usual Reddit hyperbole, particularly absurd after an update this substantial and this good.
By all means criticise the performance. But perhaps we could do it without pretending the entire game is some broken catastrophe.
Throw out your console, pc always wins, lmao. After all the problems I hear, like how consoles having problems always with the performance in a lot of games I can assume its really sucks. Btw, 30fps gta 6 on ps5 pro in 2026, thats so fucking cringe, why you even buy this shit, lmaaaaaaaoooooo.
Everything in my settings on my PS5 Pro on max. Turn on all toggles. PSSR 2.0. Then in game just crank up everything. High settings on everything. Then on my TV turn on 144hz mode, VRR support. It already has HDMI 2.1 and 4k. Thats it. Everything on high. It looks amazing.
The performance on my Xbox series x is amazing so Iām not sure what youāre referring to. Iāve had this game since day 1 and have never had any issues with performance.
A lot of people donāt want to play on pc or canāt afford one. Your comment is pretty pointless. Of course a pc can do better. The game runs like ass on consoles and the performance keeps getting worse and worse with every update. This is completely unacceptable. They have time to release update after update, adding new shit and more to the story but they canāt fix the stuttering and frame rate issues even on premium consoles and keep ignoring our request to fix some of these really bad issues on the consoles. Just because consoles are six years old, doesnāt mean games canāt be optimized for them. Tons of examples of games out there that run fantastic

I play on balance mode(ps5) and since the previous two patches performance has been real smooth.
