Ok, so I’m sure Funcom is extremely aware just how bad the Playstation version can get and still is. So, my question is when will we get an optimized version for PS5? Why has the current gen Xbox had one for a while now? If we can get a proper version, will we actually see improvements or is this just a pipe dream? You keep adding to the game and we keep suffering for it. So I ask once again, will it happen? If so, when?

Having gone from ps4 to ps5 I can attest that the difference between the 2 is already night and day. I guess that’s why they have not bothered. I used to load in on ps4 and have to wait minutes for my base to render in. Sometimes longer for the doors to appear so I could actually leave my base. I suffer none of this on ps5. Load times are way quicker, graphics are crisper, textures render in like half the time, it’s just all round nearly a different experience. If it happens it would be great if it don’t it’s still a rather large improvement without it anyway. Just my opinion.
It is better, yes, but we’re still plagued with texture and loading issues. When was the last time you saw grass and leaves consistently on Siptah? We’re running on a PS4 optimized version, which means it’s been nerfed by PS4 capabilities. We pay the same for services rendered on PlayStation as Xbox and PC, but we get an inferior product. Doesn’t seem all that fair.

I was about to give you the “PS4 is used for testing so most players can have the best experience” speech, but I did not know that there was an optimized version for Xbox already 
.
Now that I know it is possible I also want an optimized version for PS5

I actually made a bug report about the foliage on Siptah before the last patch. The patch worked for me on single player at least.

My wife and I joined a pvec Siptah server this morning official ps4 we recently acquired ps5 s .we could not load onto a Exiles server after multiple attempts other than one my wife had been on a couple years ago and she was running through rocks when it wouldn’t load had to completely shut down ps5 restart wouldn’t do. On this Siptah 8061 foliage is rendered at this point 
. Just wanted to give some feedback typically we load in 20 to 40 seconds much faster than our ps4. We did not replace ps4 due to the way the game played but because he’s died and I was expected to get myself one for the Holidays.
Yeah, it works well enough on single player. Multiplayer still sucks for the most part.

Before 3.0, I’d say it was pretty good on PS5. Now it’s just “a bit better than ps4.”

I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want an optimized version tbh.

I would really appreciate a better version if it didn’t screw over the ps4 player’s who have been on here for years. Just because we had 1200.00 dollars that probably should gone somewhere else doesn’t mean everyone does. And the latest greatest ps4 1tb wasn’t cheap. Compared to the ps3 backwards compatible unit was over 600 dollars so in today’s currency ps5 might be a good deal.

So far wandering around Siptah plants and trees intact.

If Xbox is any indication, they’re different, yet use the same servers… And yeah, it sucks to leave behind ps4, but the game is no longer a ps4 game. We know this already due to its issues and the constant growth. Funcom left ps4 behind long ago, sadly. IMO, It’s not worth holding back the game at this point.

Well in my opinion it was not broken for ps4 depending where you are trying to play. We spent hours today trying to get on a Exiles US server freeze freeze shut down down PS5 finally got on a Siptah server. I think it has. More to do with server.
I’ll tell you on a 8 years old PC running the game on Low settings the game look way better than PS5. and a PS5 is sure as hell better than a PC from 2015.
I’ll have to take your word for it. My last computer was a 186xt with a 16 colour cga graphics card and 12 of those colours were just shades of the other 4 
I can only attest that it runs way, way better on my ps5 than it ever did on my ps4. I’m all for an upgrade for the ps5 I was just trying to explain the reasons funcom gave when they announced the optimised Xbox version and why they were not doing the same for ps5.
Manage to finally nab a ps5 (last 1 in area…)
I have SSD on my Ps4, and ps5 runs it about same. Abit less pop in…
Been cycling thru my games, deciding what to keep playing on ps4 and what to play on ps5.
Most of pop in and odd texture issue seem be there no matter what. That just seems to be how game optimized.
Love to see Ps5 get abit of love. I got it max out on PC, really high end textures aren’t that much better, and view distance and ground texture look little better.
(thats RTX 2060) Pretty sure ps5 would run it all, slap in some nice options turn shadow and other odd effect down or off. =3

Got on siptah and most stuff is there now, but there’s still quite a few places where the plants and trees aren’t loading in.

Same here plenty of invisible dogs. The trees looked burned 
my wife and I were playing this morning sometime both screens have barren trees but not always.

Yup, plus most of the middle area looks barren. No grass there at all. Just a bunch of the green textured terrain.
