**Game mode: Single-player
**Type of issue: Bug | Performance Hardware: PS4 Pro
I play in single-player mode, and the game freezes for a 1 - 2 seconds each 10/15 seconds (aprox), wich is annoying.
In addition, the textures of the game take time to load, which spoils the gaming experience. This problem appeared in the previous update but is still an issue with this current update.
Does anyone know if deleting the files prior to the update (settings and savegame files) and starting a new game with new settings solves these texture loading and freezing problems? .
Hi!
First of all it’s necessary clarify I play in the Exlied Lands map.
The loading of the textures issue happens to me inside the base (chests, working stations, doors, etc.) and in its surroundings (e.g. pets, trees).
You can get some extra mileage out of replacing your hard drive with an ssd. I did that and saw immediate improvement. Youre fighting the ps hardware client side and the more stuff in your base, the worse it will be. I have a pro and when my friends would run past my big base, it would crash their regular ps4s so I had to pare it down significantly. I would say a new ssd is your best path forward given that funcom has been trying to make the game console friendly, but the hardware is aging and on some level, the demands on your console will increase as they make changes. You might also want to check for additional dust that could be causing the ps4 to throttle itself due to heat.
I’ll also add that changing to an ssd on ps4 systems is a very easy process. Any 2.5” ssd will work so just pick a cheap one and follow their firmware load instructions over usb flashdrive. Its a fairly quick upgrade process.
Thank you for your time.
I changed my hard drive before (1tb to 2tb)… it’s quite easy but extremely annoying because you have to install all the games again and download all the patches…
Finally, I deleted my save game and config file … let’s see what happens when I build my main base (and gets bigger) if texture loading issues persist .
I have uploaded a video in which I show the problems that I suffer with the loading of textures in my single player game. Honestly It’s a quite annoying and ruins my game experience.
