PS5 beta

[Hawuhawuu]

Another month and no news on the state of ps5 with the live letter. As its nearing a year and the beta hasn't been updated since ending. Is it safe to assume that the ps5 bugs are staying long term and we should continue to use to ps4 version on ps5 indefinitely?

Huh? The PS5 version. Has been released

It has but it still functions as though it is a beta build. It's pretty rough around the edges.

It functions fine for me in 4k mode on a 4k tv. *shrugs*

Btw I've played this game on PS3, PS4 and the PS5 (both ps4 version and currently the ps5 version) to make comparisons.

But eh if other people are having issues that sucks

I've got a 4k TV and tried it in 4k mode. Other games handle it just fine like Dying Light 2 and Horizon Forbidden West. Those run like a dream in full graphics modes! The fps is god awful with max settings in FF XIV, so I don't use that specific mode. The middle mode isn't always awesome, but it's better than trying to run it in full 4k. It...has a ways to go before being tolerable in 4k mode. Hopefully the engine upgrades will address some of that. And yeah, I've seen the game from PS3 to PS5 too. PS3's fps wasn't always the issue. It was the gameplay lag. The PS4 version suffered from both at times, though usually it was just fps drops. Still, it ran well enough. The PS5 version makes the game look pretty good, but it could run a whole lot smoother. It simply wasn't ready to be released.

I mean I don't know what to say at this point cause I'm not seeing it. I could just be that blind *shrugs* I won't say you aren't having those issues and I'm sorry you are. Ill even double check my setting to see if i may be limiting frame rates to see if I have the same issue but I'm almost positive that I have it full 4k. =) I would right now but I'm at work. Though to be honest I didn't see much issues with the PS4 version either.

Though, I will say I do wish that all the versions had a brightness adjuster... white hair in gridania with the full sun shining is meh and adjusting the color and brightness scheme or even the contrast ratio on my tv isn't helping it much.

Holy mother of pickles I hit my posting limit...

So I did check my graphics and ran the last neir Raid and had some weird jerking with it but I had always chalked that up to my internet since I'm using wifi and most times it did coincide with my internet. So I'm guessing that's what it was all about right? It was rather annoying

Ps5 version no longer in beta lol

[Hawuhawuu]

Thats the point.... it still hasnt been updated since beta was launched. We still have the massive framers drop bug for almost a year with no acknowledgement it exists. Try doing savage with unstable framerates....

I have been playing on PS5 since the beta came out, and have never had ANY issues running savage content. Maybe it's your TV?

I'll never understand this conversation around that fps has to be 60fps or it's trash.

Playing Horizon Forbidden West in Resolution mode and it's 30 fps. And it's simply gorgeous! Framerate doesn't have to be 60....or 120. I remember a time when all you got was 30fps, and sometimes all you got was what the system could just muster up. N64 never broke 60 fps except for 1 game....F-ZERO. Everything else was 30 or sub 30.

The gaming community is just spoiled and expects 60 fps AND ULTRA quality. You want that? Don't play on PS5....play on PC....and spend nearly $2,000 on just a GPU.

The PS5 is an incredible machine, and I'm constantly in awe at what it can do for $500. Nigh instant load times alone is worth the price of admission. Horizon Forbidden West fast travel I spend more time looking on the map where I want to go then the load time takes....literally 3 seconds.

It is NOT the fault of one's TV most of the time. It's simply a thing to have framerate drops in random places, though once you figure out where/when they happen it is easier to work around them. They aren't completely random. It is also likely dependent on which mode one plays the game in too. I'm guessing it's not too noticeable if you play in full 4k since the framerate is a constant 30. Not saying that 30 is bad by any means. Heck, I play DL 2 and Horizon currently with a constant 30 fps. Feels like 60 with how well they are optimized though. But using the UHD mode in FF XIV and expecting only small dips in fps (while getting huge dips in fps all depending on where your camera is aimed at the time and your location) is a bit jarring. So yeah, the PS5 version could still use some work, and it should be optimized way better than it is. Dismissing the issue just because you don't see it solves nothing.
