Anyone else having a hard time playing on PS3?

I'm having the same problem. If the camera is facing the ground and I'm too zoomed out and a treant is in view, the game staggers to a stop. Its a huge issue in the WHM storyline where there's 3 of them on screen at once. But the game has no problem loading the rest of Gridania, just that top view of Treants is killer. Really odd. Maybe its the size?

The branches of trees/treants must just pretty complex to render or something, it is likely not be fully optimized. In 1.0, if you had any of the event christmas trees on screen at all most people's computers would start to chug and heat up, and turning the camera to get a view inside them would make the game stall like mad. The same issue happened when they released the moogle fight where the entrance area had a lot of treants. In both cases, the issues got fixed at some point so it shouldn't be an issue in the long run.

I remember turning off shadows helped a lot in those instances, if the PS3 has that option you can try that?

Balmung player here. Fates give me a bit of trouble (esp the Goblin one with the barrage of AoE spells) but the monsters of the Coblyn species tend to lag me out more than anything which is so weird to me.

if your using wifi then your going to experience more lag than hardwired unless the wifi is a foot away from your ps3.

I play on my PS3 all the time, with wifi. I noticed the ONLY time I ever experienced lag was during the Marlboro Fate in North Shroud I think it was, maybe East Shroud. But anyway, yeah at that point the game gets laggy, but it's still playable. It just slows down and my abilities and everything slow down a bit. There's always a bunch of people there trying to kill it though, so that could be it.

I have been having some fairly intense lag issues since EA. I play on the PS3 exclusively, and have turned off spell effects from players. I also play on a high population server, Leviathan.

It's really frustrating, I want to play this game, but when I get to a FATE and I am just sitting there anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute depending on how many people are around, it's already over. It's not just FATEs either, any place of higher population character models tend to disappear, PCs and NPCs.

I log on today, and I am experiencing the same issue, I really don't want to play this game until I get a decent PC, if this is going to be an issue for the long term. Even PCs that can barely run the game aren't having this issue at all. Feels like I wasted a few hundred dollars for the system and CE when I expected a fairly smooth experience.

Can't do Fate on PS3

[murasame22]

I have been playing ps3 version since beta and early access. I didnt have any major issue like you mentioned, a few lags, but instance showed no problem. What I can say is that pay ATTENTION TO YOUR PS3'S TEMPERATURE. IF IT GETS TOO HOT, YOUR SYSTEM WILL SLOW DOWN. Make sure its well ventilated. Also, to keep it cool, I keep a small desk fan and blow it directly at the front to help lower the temp. Side note,. You can also buy a ps3 wireless keypad, it helps a lot especially of your customize its keybind.

F.A.T.E.S on ps3 are unplayable.
The frame rates drop to unbearable levels and the delay on skills activating Is terrible.
The game Is great but stay away from F.A.T.E.S and anywhere that's heavily populated
