PS5 Optimization

Greetings, it was mentioned not long ago from one of the devs in a interview that you would have looked into releasing a ps5 specific optimization patch sometime in the near future.
Its been 2 years and so far i haven’t noticed any change to the game beside still being played at 900p with low textures on a PS5.
In the recent AOH major update you mentioned that “shadows have been improved on PS5”, altho it seems like an encouraging change the game is still running in a deplorable state.
I have a brief suggestion: Give us access to the graphics settings from the main menu
Example:
Framerate cap
Resolution
Volumetric fog
Texture quality
AA range
The list goes on, you don’t have to do a “Next gen upgrade” at all.
By enabling those settings in the menu we can adjust our performance/quality experience simply by tweaking the options.
Please do something about this update; its been requested 4 years ago i think its time we get it, its honestly a pity to see it running like this i really enjoy this game and i would much rather enjoy it even more with higher texture/resolution framerate and AA.
I don’t expect you to see this post hell even to see it marked as read would be an achievement at this point. I just want you to know that there are a LOT of players waiting for this, if not for us do it for your earnings, because i’d spend a ton of money in the bazaar if the game had this simple update.
Thank you.

Sad thing is they did one for xbox recently. By recently i mean the last couple years i believe. I think it may have something to do with the os of xbox and windows/steam being similar whereas ps5 probably has something a little harder to do. Not sure tho. Id love an update for the ps5 myself.

Yeah im aware, it was like 2-3 years ago
I doubt its about any technical issue, because just recently if you check in the misc changes of AOH notes they mentioned an improvement on shadow rendering for the ps5. Altho i don’t think they’re working on a ps5 version at all i just wish a dev or a mod would respond to this to either confirm or deny that they’re working on it.
Like please this game is amazing and you know for a fact playstation has hella more players, i hope this update becomes something real
For example ubisoft has many times boosted games for ps5 through ps4 titles in the past without actually making a whole ps5 version of them: a few examples are: Assassin’s creed odyssey, assassin’s creed syndicate. Those games are labeled as ps4 but have been optimized for ps5 as well by increasing the framerate and adjusting the graphics to High/Ultra.
Its not so hard i really don’t know whats holding them back

I don’t want to shatter your expectations but they are not even able to fix the broken inventory handling (“not able” not in the sense of “not technically capable”, more of “not willing”).

The Playstation Version is dead. After the introduction of AoS PS4 was more or less unplayable, for a while it was somewhat possible to enjoy it on PS5 but it gets worse and worse.

I play on Xbox also, Xbox One is also unplayable, on Xbox Series S/X it was for the most of the time OK (runs much better than on PS5) but since AoH there are also more frequent crashes and areas with bad performance.

CE on Console is almost dead. Sad. But dead. I have around 2000 Crom coins left on both platforms and i refuse to spend them even if i paid for them already because i can’t find any joy anymore.

Considering how PC handles it, and how Ps5 compared to cards I owned.

Ps5 tweaks wouldn’t be much. Ps5 is already running several setting on high, with some on med.
(I own both versions, done a few compares to my rtx 2060)

Pretty sure a chunk of its is issue that seem plague all version, and last gen console just could’ve been handle better.

Numbers for consoles are hard to get… and often hard to keep up. Most of websites that find ways to get numbers…get those holes plug.
Officials for ps4 aren’t great. There is a SP community around for it. (Its also on sale for 20$ right now)
Personally… I think CE-II should’ve been announced year or two back… Thats what I want at this point. Take what they learned, rebuild foundations… and move forward.

If were not getting a new map anytime soon… might as well move us to next game.

As much as we’d love that, Funcom can’t even be bothered to confirm or deny their work on bugs they introduced with the last updates. It’s an all around shit show as of late with their lack of communication on practically everything. :face_exhaling:

There’s not a dead version of this game, in all the consoles are just mechanically supported to be kept alive lol.

There’s not a version that we deserve more than other consoles. My wish for ps5 version has long gone sometime now. As for the graphics? I saw my son playing on quality mode in his 8K 60inch screen and in the beginning i didn’t understand the game he was playing .

The game needs serious optimization for ps5 not to crash, but i am afraid that if they try to optimize it perfectly for ps5, we will not be playing the same game with others anymore.

Just fix the bugs and the fatality for starters.

As far as for crashes i haven’t experienced anything yet, my old save in singleplayer runs just fine but it could be a different story on a official server, might have to try that but yeah i think in terms of optimization i saw the xbox one X compared to the newer xbox series X, very few noticeable difference but i think what comes to the eye a lot is the resolution: it looks a lot better in terms of visual, my eyes definetly stress out less watching, as for the framerate which is also a much better experience than running at 30 imo. Textures wise they are pumped up a little, i noticed the chainmail on the nemedian set definetly looks more alive and crispier, 3 simple changes made that version look so good already aside from the so called “volumetric fog” honestly i could do less with that one since the fog makes the ambience a lot brighter and spoiled imo
