Playstation 4 - Performance Issues - Global Frame Rate Drops
Time: Always, Global.
Frequency: 90~100%
World name: Gilgamesh
Character name: Emmalynn Tsukiko
NPC name: N/A
Monster name: N/A
Class/Level: Warrior/50
Party or solo: Either
In-game time: Any
Area and coordinates: Coerthas Central Highlands, Mor Dhona, and many other very busy locations
Steps:
1. Head to a large populated area, such as Coerthas; proceed away from the main camps i.e. - X:34, Y:21 (Natalan, near the large circle of Ixali)
2. Point your Camera West towards Dragonhead, and move around in circles/while looking toward the mountains in the west.
3. Observe erratic frame rate issues.
Note: This occurs in almost all zones now, and was an issue previously (look at my post history to see) and it seems to be getting worse each patch.
Result:
The console is rendering the area/players around camps when the camera is aimed in that direction, thus causing the frame drops; i.e. Occlusion Culling is not functioning properly.
Expected Result:
Console FPS should not drop when looking towards the camps from a distance, as the players should not be rendered.
