Console frame rate...

Have the devs mentioned anything about the upcoming patch doing anything in regards to playing as killers like Demo and Pyramid? Jesus Christ its literally pointless to even play as them because the frame rate drops so hard..

    The devs said on Twitter that the new graphics aren't going to destroy consoles.


    BTW, we have a 33 page long thread regarding console optimization.

    UPDATE #1 (August 28)

    (for the original post look below)

    Since this thread is now so important for us console players, and it's growing so much, I guess it could be useful to have some updated info here on the first topic.

    First:

    Q: did BHVR acknowledge the consoles problem?

    A: NO. The only thing that BHVR did in this topic was to say, and I quote from @PatBrutal, "Just so you know, we've shared the thread with the team and they're going to take a look at it."

    The reply from Pat was on August 13th, and since then we haven't received any update on the matter. We currently don't know:

    • if the Dev Team actually did read the post
    • if they understand there is a frame rate problem
    • if they are willing to work on the problem
    • if they are able to work on the problem
    • if the problem has any priority over other work
    • if yes at all of the above: when the issues are expected to be resolved

    Aside for the (non existent) public communications here on the forum, today there has been a tweet from the DbD official account that states as follow:

    https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/LNGBR0C61IDY/image.png

    notice the post is not talking about any improvement over the current fps on console, just that they apparently acknowledge console need special care for the graphical update.

    if BHVR should ever decide to give any new public statement on the matter, it will be posted as a new update.

    -----------------

    ORIGINAL POST (august 5)

    There are plenty of feedback on the optimization sub board but I don't see any reply from BHVR, so, once again:

    are you aware that fps on console (PS4, at least) degraded A LOT since 4.1.0 when playing as killer?

    Here, I'll post you a video from today on Hawkins, it's basically a slide show every time a survivor is on screen.

    (if it doesn't open: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/701472489)

    as a comparison, here's the same map (different killer, but trust me, it's not the Oni the problem), but from one month ago

    (again: direct link is https://www.twitch.tv/videos/665197944)

    The frame rate obviously is still far from optimal, but it's a great deal better than how it is now.

    Can you, @Peanits , @Almo or whoever else at least say "yes, we know, expect a fix soon / buy a pc you filthy console peasant"?

    EDIT: bonus video - Hillbilly on a very open (and not very elaborate, polygonally speaking?) map.

    The framerate is certainly better than on Hawkins, but as you can see every time there's a chase, maybe at T-L walls, everything goes south.

    no.

    they just said that they took special care for the graphic update on console.

    what this special care is in anybody's guess. It could be a big 🖕 emoji at the center of the screen when console players get a new map, as far as we know.

    and there's no update on any other frame rate improvement whatsoever anyway.
