as the title say does anyone know when they are going to put back the awesome graphics they had before on ps4
I wouldn’t count on that, at least not anytime soon. They still have to fix so much other stuff and they re gonna prioritize those things that make the game unplayable first
They would have to get the game optimized significantly before the graphics could be improved. it could easily be something will take til June at the earliest.
what a pain, honestly i have not gone so far in the history but before any patches i did not have much bugs it is just me or with every patch is worse
If the patches themselves cause a degradation of graphics, a delay in optimizing is problematic.
If they do end up improving the graphics on the PS4 it would remind me of what happened with the original GTAIV release on PS3. If memory serves me right, the XBOX360 initially rendered the game in 720p and the PS3 only rendered it in 640P because they couldn’t get the code efficient enough to maintain acceptable framerates at 720P at launch. Later on with many optimizations they updated the rendering from 640p to 720p. Long story short it does happens sometimes, consoles getting improved graphics months later.
what i read is that they downgrade it to get better fps i had never a problem with the fps

with FO4, adding high poly objects was obvious and it eventually hits fps with settlement building and adding clutter. with KCD, you’ve got the chest but beyond that you’re not dumping more high poly into an area so not well understanding the need to throttle down the fps
I am on PC and runUltra +; so take my reply with a grain of salt (I havent seen the console release).
I am platform agnostic and go where the games are…
Due to the way this game (many others as well) stream textures in… there could be a few problems when applying patches to a game like this (so huge and wants a large consecutive chunk of drive space- not a fragmented drive forcing files all over the place and making the read heads in the hard drive have to travel lengthy times all over the place…)
I would, if net isnt costly, delete the game and reinstall it (when a new large patch comes out).
A clean install will keep the files together, assuming you drive is somewhat clean.if you have been uninstalling games to make space on your playstation harddrive… then you probably have a worst case scenario of highly fragmented game files that the playstation cannot get to quick enough to ensure smooth streaming of textures.
Obviously this is if the downgrade is lower res textures being onscreen… than what you are familiar with.
I am too lazy to check if the Warhorse actually went to effort to downgrade textures (highly unlikely at this, or any, stage).
My 0.02$?
I changed my PS4 drive to a fast 7200rpm drive wgen I first bought it. My playstation menus/boot times etc are all faster loading, games as well, and it isof special benefit for situation like this where the game streams textures in as you get closer to certain objects/locations.
It is important to match up the platter densities with the default hitachi drives (not too hard really - avoid weird sized drives basically).
Anyhow it cost me as much as one game and every game is better for it (if only because the system is snappier).
The benefit of a new clean drive is pretty obvious when troubleshooting issues exacerbated by fragmentation.
Short of formatting the present drive it is a long tutorial to write out to make a presently fragmented drive less so.
Is also probably why tonnes of gamers are saying tondelete bluray cache files etc (it just makes for a clean bit of drive space on the outter platter (fastest read area) on the slow assed xbox drives which to my knowledge are not user replaceable.
Sony is intelligent and sets aside game cache areas on the hard drive that are aligned with the outside of the disc. Hence why we need to replace the drives with same sized platter harddrives, or any SSD (solid state drive).
Bang for buck I went 7200rpm large cache drive.
Original seagate momentus (hybrid ssd+hdd)drives would work, newer iterations would probably lessen performance in some situations due to platter mismatch.
I had many SSDs lying around but dont consider them necessary for playstation.
the downgrade is due to the patch and this is why i unistall the game and star playing in the vanilla version of it of course my saves didnt work so i start from zero and the graphics where excellent as soon i install the patch again it downgrade again so thats why i know that is because of the patches
I never had an fps problem either and I’ve had it since day one.
This needs to happen quick.
How the hell did these amateurs manage to degrade the graphics on ps4 so badly after the game launched? Now when i ride into rattay all the buildings are a smeared blurry mess for 15-25 seconds. Sometimes i can see straight through the buildings.
Npc’s load way too slow now too. At launch it was still bad with heads not loading in right, but now its so bad that i see buckets floating down the street for a few seconds before their carriers slowly load in a piece at a time.
This game is hardly even half baked. I really want this to be a great game, and i really want to see more historical games, but man, after paying full price its hard not to be frustrated with a game thats still hip deep in a beta test.
Sounds like your install might be heavily fragmented.
Perhaps nake a backup of the files, delete a few old games that yoi moght have installed back when getting the system, and then restore the backup.
Might make a nice continuous area of disk that then loads the game and have an easier time with the level of detail streaming they do with textures. (The issues you are experiencing, made worse with patches simply because they mosify the files and might make the game ‘span out’ further over the drive, extending the read times… (game streams textures slower)
if is a fragmentation problem how you explain that all those problems disapear if you install the game with no updates
Thats the logic that helps ascertain the solution.
For those who understand tech it is actually a pretty clear part of tracking down what causing the problem.
Well done!
You have done the hard work- and mostly, by the looks of it, figured out where the issue is…
