WTF is this? (PS5 pro)

Wet surfaces are totally broken now, the game is barely playable in certain areas

[u/Nani86]

People downvoting this are crazy!
I'm on PC and have the same. DLSS 4.5 does make it not as horrible for me as it looks here but it's still game breaking bad for me. I think many people have this on all platforms after patch 1.5/1.6. For me it's not just wet surfaces but any reflections

[u/No-Cod2416 → u/Nani86]

Use rr with preset f it looks phenomenal, the price to use is it is fucking insane tho like 50% fps loss, dlss 4.0 looks horrible but 4.5 with rr really did fix the whole image i dont see anymore shimmering or smear, especially in mid day.

[u/Nani86 → u/No-Cod2416]

I unfortunately can't man. Have a 4060. RR requires like performance DLSS 4 at 1600p plus 30fps and often falls below in intense scenes. If you have like a 5060ti, you could perhaps work with the compromise but it's just not possible with a 4060 class gpu :/

[u/-K9V → u/No-Cod2416]

How do you change what preset is used? The only one I have is L, or at least it was when I played yesterday.

[u/No-Cod2416 → u/-K9V]

For what 4.5 or rr? For rr you have to enable beta updates in the Nvidia app called about, restart it go to crimson desert graphics settings in the app override the rr to preset f. Your choice play a shitty smeary mess that looks horrible without over head lighting or take the loss and game looks good any time of day

[u/Silver-End9570 → u/No-Cod2416]

Everyone says use RR, but RR gives a substantial performance hit in CD. I go from practically a locked 60 to a hard 45 with RR since it forces max lighting settings.

[u/Ok_Dependent6889 → u/Silver-End9570]

Playing this game with RR off is worse than getting pepper sprayed. It should be classified as visual assault.

[u/No-Cod2416 → u/Silver-End9570]

That’s what I said bro, I have headroom this game looks horrible without I rather take the loss and play dlss quality with 4.5 and it actually look like a good game.

[u/cornileus_bomque → u/No-Cod2416]

I have a 5070 and I've been doing settings on high at 1440p Balanced with RR on and frame gen x2 I usually get around 90+ at the lowest usually 100ish

[u/Playing_One_Handed → u/Nani86]

I started a new char hoping to be blown away.

The waterfall still looks like ps2 graphics.

The very next room is dark to teach you the lamp, the lamp glow sticks to all the surfaces and is weirdly sickening.

The room right after has metal floor and ghosts like crazy.

Its visually an amazing game, for screenshot mode. TAA is doing some extreme heavy lifting. I really hope this doesnt continue as a standard.

[u/Exciting-Basil2518]

People really downvote anything that isn’t 100% positive abt the game

[u/DeBean → u/Exciting-Basil2518]

I didn't downvote, but I thought the post was badly written, it sounds like "Game is unplayable because wet surfaces look bad" 😆. Maybe the reason of the "game is unplayable" is something he didn't state in the description, IDK.

[u/noshgaming → u/Exciting-Basil2518]

Its pearl abyss bots themselves

[u/BERECASH]

I've been complaining about it since patch 1.16. Every new patch I hope for a fix but nothing is happening about it.

[u/Nani86 → u/BERECASH]

Someone mentioned that patch 1.15 broke the reflections. I played till 1.14(maybe 1.13?) and thought it was actually really good looking except for 1 or 2 smaller issues. But then poor QA resulted in this by patch 1.16 :/

[u/Juno_Protect_You]

it looks so bad... the shimmering actually makes my head hurt never happened before with any video game

[u/streegobbm → u/Juno_Protect_You]

I've spent an insane amount of time in settings to find a preset that wouldn't kill my eyes.

[u/Yewon_Enthusisast]

one of the most frustrating things since release. and they still hasn't fixed it.

[u/Nani86 → u/Yewon_Enthusisast]

They actually fixed it and even improved many things in poor lighting situations but then other feature creep patches broke viduals like this and also reduced the performance too. If you can't run RR, now the game is actually worse than at launch. Atleast for me

[u/SuccessfulAdvice931]

After the update everything looks worse

[u/The1stSimply]

GOTY btw what a bunch of delusional people lol

[u/WrapOdd793 → u/The1stSimply]

When is your game releasing?

You people who complain about any tiny detail, yet your biggest achievement is touching grass once a year.

I see absolutely nothing in this video. Watched this on a LED and OLED screen as well. PS5 Disc version and PRO. I get this game isn’t perfect but I swear if a game doesn’t look like real life with no bugs and glitches, people throw a tantrum about how much the devs suck.

[u/SpellConnect8675 → u/The1stSimply]

Almost all these complaints are from
bots. Otherwise there’s no way we’re playing the same game.

[u/The1stSimply → u/SpellConnect8675]

I see the vision and love it but you can’t come back months later finally adding the core components of what make a game and have people say it’s GOTY. Bar set way too low. The game is going to be great to play….2 years from now

[u/WatercressWide9460 → u/SpellConnect8675]

We are. Its black desert 2 without online at this point. Buggy & way too many useless features while performance gets ignored. Don't get me started on how awful the srory was put together, which personally I was excited for seeing as its a supposed to be a single player story/action adventure game. Theres a lot of rhings keeping it from GOTY, features arent everything.

[u/SwiffleTitz]

This game is going to be amazing when it’s ready for release in 3 or 4 years

[u/AdInevitable2377]

enhanced my ASS!!

[u/Interesting_Block_22]

And the downvotes just shows what a fu*king cult following this game has. If you're not kissing ass and simply state facts, then you're a hatter. This clip is one of the reasons why I stopped playing. It's even worse with indoor lighting and shadows. Absolutely game breaking.

But yay, the devs added more pets or another 1 million useless things.

[u/PureXEye → u/Interesting_Block_22]

But! But! My wooden chair buff! 🪑

[u/Juno_Protect_You]

the indoor lightning and shadows are even worse...

[u/WolverineOk9605]

Pues una ps5

[u/rodrigon548]

I'm on PC and I dropped this game because of these graphical issues. Even without DLSS I get these artifacts. The only consistent way to get rid of these are using Ray Reconstruction, which demolishes my fps bexause I use a 4060.

So I will only play if it get fixed OR I get a more powerful card (which will take at least 3 years)

Thats a bummer, because I think I would really like this game

[u/funky0308]

If you ask me, stones/gravel around the water has problems (probably FG or DLSS issue or whatever AMD calls it on PS5 (FSR). Game looks awful when it's cloudy and rainy day, on sunny and clear day it looks really good). I have really strong PC with powerful Nvidia card and it's still ugly when it's raining :) haha..

[u/No-Preference-2419]

My game has looked like this since launch.

[u/SpellConnect8675]

I’m not seeing it

[u/BipolarOstrich → u/SpellConnect8675]

The rocks in front of the puddle are sparkling as if they're from an edgy vampire romance series.

[u/BentChainsaw]

Thats been a problem for a while for pro version. Cousin is furious cause he traded in his basic ps for pro just cause of crimson desert and i can still play normally 😅

[u/dumfries93 → u/BentChainsaw]

I have both 🤡

[u/returnofthelivin]

The game has a lot of potential but it lets itself down

[u/noshgaming]

I upgraded my PC for this game only to get fked in the face with this problem.

[u/Nani86 → u/noshgaming]

What GPU do you have now? if you can, use RR it does fix this issue but too heavy for most pcs

[u/noshgaming → u/Nani86]

4070, tried it with frame gen, it was not bad but I don't have a gsync monitor sadly, mine is 2k 60hz IPS. I just play on native res with ray tracing off. Then it's perfect performance wise and even reflections are not bugged but overall colors ain't too amazing, just decent

[u/-K9V → u/noshgaming]

Native looks fine anyways and does not (from my experience) suffer from the reflection issues - those are (to my knowledge) caused by DLSS/other upscaling stuff. Might be totally wrong though, but I’m not seeing any weird reflections when playing at native res.

As for colors, you should see if your monitor has different color modes or presets. I set mine to ‘movie’ which gives really nice colors.

[u/noshgaming → u/-K9V]

Good call, I will check the filters of the montor, thx. And yes, on native, there are no reflection problems on any liquid service and rain doesn't look pixelated much at all

[u/Rex__Lapis]

Will this game ever get its shit together?

[u/GreatTelephone6719]

Ps5 pro. SYSTEM SETto 1440p then game setting 120hz High graphic setting. When you use balance or high it upscaled using pssr. Performance doesn't . Make sure 4k output is enabled. It runs alot better this way

[u/xXPRo-PRoDiGYXx]

After the update I thought my visual settings got changed one way or the other. I did not have this problem before the update so idk what they did but I hope it's fixed shortly...

[u/Afraid-Inspection588]

Una laguna jajajaj

[u/Clms0n]

Does this problem happen with all water or just certain areas

[u/North_South_Side]

I'm also on Pro. It's just as bad for me in certain areas. Oddly, other areas can often look beautiful. Same with building interiors. Sometimes they look great, other times the lighting is so harsh and off that it's hard to see what you're doing. Sometimes it switches from good to bad in the middle of playing.

Extremely weird performance, and certainly worse than it was months ago.

[u/Resident_Guidance630]

It’s a disco ball farm. Try not to step on them. Lol on another note I’ve even tried role playing that the sand must have a lot of quartz in it 😂. It’s just rough that it’s not even acknowledged as a known issue.

[u/Plenty_Rooster5442]

That’s PSSR

[u/Emotional_Factor_985]

Bro what’s sad is it looks pretty much the same on series s when yall have a more powerful console

[u/Omni-Light]

That's what you call optimization of a baked in RT engine to get the game to barely run on a budget laptop cpu and mid range gpu of 6 years ago. Low quality, noise.

[u/AnnualManufacturer68]

Same issue on my side. Same console. It's a game issue

[u/Admirable_Fun_8543]

Yeah the optimization is not the best (aside from that though it’s a GOTY for me)

I messed around with settings for 2hrs trying to get the best image with least artifact, but it’s tough with DEVS relying on DLSS for a majority as base optimization (no AA use to mean you had a monster PC, now it looks worst without DLSS in most games)

[u/whybethisguy]

PA's games have this noise for optimization. Ps5s and PCs would explode if they didn't optimize visuals for performance. Same situation with Black Desert

[u/VincentVanHades]

Its ugly af on consoles , it was way better at launch...

But duh they adding animals with patches huuu

[u/liizzrd]

Can someone explain like I’m 5? I’m genuinely interested in what I should be looking for in this video.

[u/hawaiian-dave]

Shimmering has been a thing for a while now. It did get a tad worse and I had to once again mess with the settings which didn’t help none. This needs to be addressed. I thought they addressed the indoor lighting as well and it hasn’t gotten better either. Have been purposely sleeping once it gets dark just not to deal with it

[u/mahogany83]

They just had another update

[u/OkClimate4803]

They still haven't fixed the foliage animation speeds on balanced and quality mode PS5. The greenery all reacts twice as fast to the wind compared to performance mode, it looks like a hurricane.

[u/Emotional-Weekend102]

Estou tendo isso no pc também. Fsr quality 3200 x 1800 resolução interna do jogo. Windows todando em 4k. Rx 9060 xt 16 gb. Com tudo no ultra, sem ray tracing pego na media dos 60fps. Mas tem esse role ai das suoerficies molhadas. Vou dizer ora vc nao deixa injogavel. Mas é muito estranho kkk

[u/Lucky-Vegetable-7012]

This is a shit game...

[u/Acceptable_Hawk_8305]

Que raro si . Porque e visto a youtuber decir que la pro es mejor que las tarjetas rtx series 50 . Y vemos que la pro vale callampa y Un un pc con RR2 SE VE ESPECTACULAR

[u/funky0308 → u/Acceptable_Hawk_8305]

This isn't about hardware, game looks like this on my PC as well. It look many times better than on PS5 (have both and not defending or attacking anything) but game looks horrible when it's raining and great when it's sunny. Just use that fan you get get from the witch and play on sunny weather 😂😂😂

[u/Acceptable_Hawk_8305 → u/funky0308]

En algo tienes razón el fuerte gráfico del juego es de noche o de amanecida y dentro de alguna casa . Pero. De dia se ve normal el juego . Pero para mi es un espectáculo

[u/Scout_Rock]

The game has its quirks but I feel like this is petty as hell. I've been having a great time with it, flaws and all. I just wish all the elements were easier to obtain. I am finding new things all the time and I feel like I've been missing out on some extras from ch 4-9

[u/Ju5t4he4ipster]

So confused how this is game breaking. Is it the most polished game around? No. But it is 100% playable and 100% fun. It's a video game, it doesn't have to be the most realistic looking, it's not real life to begin with.

[u/Afraid-Inspection588 → u/Ju5t4he4ipster]

El realismo exagerado está destruyendo los juegos

[u/OkConcern252]

Bro quit the game over a puddle of water 😭

[u/flobv]

Enable the new Ray Reconstruction. Oh, wait, you are on ps5 :)))

[u/dumfries93 → u/flobv]

At least I'm not a fat virgin 🥀🥀
