Game mode: Single player
Problem: Performance

I have posted a few times now bringing forth various issues in SOLO / offline mode on a PS4 PRO.
I am unsure if i am alone in experiencing the following that i have play tested for the last few hours to examine. Please if anyone else is experiencing any of the following, leave a comment so i can either start putting some of these issues to further examination or to rest. Also would be great to know i am not alone since the last 2 updates.
The Issues…
-
offline lag = constantly in & out of action.
-
screen jags & tears at random times.
-
pop-in for everything = plants + rocks pop in around 10 ft infront of me as well as large items at a greater distance (structures + my small hut + larger animals, etc…)
-
Draw distance is very much fuzzier / reduced and often de-rezzed and at times also suffers from pop-in.
-
Constant audio delay or lack there of entirely = will kill something and 5-10 secs later i will hear the audio or it won’t at all…
-
Occasional freezing when doing something as simple as moving in my small hut or trying to access chests / work stations…
-
Enemies have either no hitbox at times or they now have I-frames in various instances (cannot rationally explain this with any logic).
-
Locking onto anything is much jankier than in the past and alot of the time when locked onto a target, my attacks aren’t even directed at said target…
-
Flying with Admin Panel access does allow flight, but at a very, very, very slow speed and cannot disable flight mode (only by removing bracelet does this de-activate)
-
Enemies & Animals randomly appearing underwater (pop-in) and either float their dead or de-spawn…
-
Lighting effects very much off / wonky = a torch at night will cast light hundreds of feet down river with a bloom effect. Shadows behave oddly, some times lagging in areas to catch up to others…
-
Saturation involving Color & Contrast is off as well, used the same settings on my Sony x930e 4k (full HDR) tv as i always have for gaming and even after tweaking the only option for display that we really have (in-game) which is Gamma. The display still looks very washed out / overly bright in the day and have tried everything to balance this to no avail.
- Have many more small / medium issue examples, but honestly with the larger issues i have just mentioned = the smaller ones are inconsequential in the bigger picture. Though i will continue to update this thread with more discoveries / issues only to bring this to the developers attention in the hopes that they will be remedied / fixed.
I am on my 2nd “Clean” Re-install + i have done both a system reset and database rebuild and am seeking for confirmation that i am not alone in this and my fears may very well be affirmed, that the last 2 large updates have fundamentally altered or effected something that is the cause of these massive issues.
Any feedback + comments + shared issues would be appreciated, as i am getting to the point that when i last played 4 months ago, many of these problems were not of issue or at the very minimum they occured very little and now that i have purchased the “Complete Edition” the game honestly runs + performs + looks & feels worst than it ever has and i have only recently experienced this all on a SOLO / off-line capacity, i can only imagine private & public servers 
I am always an optimist and hope that FUNCOM is more than aware of this and i am sure much more, but please for the love of CROM = patch + fix + update before ANYTHING ELSE, as this current game state makes me sad + miss the state of the game less than 4 months prior & want a refund if this is what CONAN EXILES plays like as of the present & possible future.
Please also know that i do love this game and have spent hundreds of hours with many great people and have had plenty of fun, but whatever has happened on the development end of these updates has dramatically dropped the performance + gameplay & overall enjoy-ability of this once great game
I hope there is good news for the future 
That does not involve suggesting i remove & re-install the game on my end = i have done this numerous times now, this clearly is not the issue
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
- Simply by playing the game
- It is persistent
- Even after closing game and restarting.
- It remains persistently.
