Just popping in to show you this ! (PS4 video)

Seriously…do you think this game is now in a worse state than when it launched?

Blocky rain for months, quest lines broken and things still not working properly.
Patch 1.6 has broken the dirt/damaged armour/clothing mechanic as well as introducing Pop-in on a scale I never ever seen before!!!

I love the game and all…but it’s really heart breaking to see the numerous problems mount. It’s been 5 months…surely things should be improving. shouldn’t they?

“I don’t see any pop in every game looks like this on console”
“I praise WH for exposing the consoles weakness in CPU power, this way they help to improve the next generation of consoles”

Know a similar view very well with 1.6… all part of the tradeoff

This is why i suggested to Daniel patches ago that WH do an in game popins assessment as a qualification test before each patch, and was ignored

That sentiment suggests WH doesn’t factor or perform adequate load testing in making platform choice decisions

Or WH knew performance was going to be problematic and dove in anyhow

If they did then the game wouldn’t run so bad on consoles. It begins with their Engine choice.

I understand consoles clearly have limitations … but pretty much most the issues I am experiencing at the moment were NOT problems on the PS4 Pro to start with.

The blocky rain was not there at launch.
The extreme pop-in shown in this video…NEVER saw it as bad as that on PS4 Pro prior to Patch 1.6. Sometimes some textures would take a short while to load in…but NOTHING like what shown in this video!!!

The only time I ever saw severe distant Pop-in on PS4 PRo was when charging top speed on horseback through somewhere like Rattay.

Now after Patch1.6 you only need to stroll very slowly to see close by objects pop-in.

The game is horrible. I started playing again and it is worse then before. I never seen this in any other game on ps4. I lost all hope in this game and i will never buy any warhorse game again in the future. PS they are making dlc to grab some money instead of improving the game, good luck Warhorse amateurs.

I understand the anger…but I still want to give them the benefit of the doubt.

The game is great in what it’s trying to do. I got over 200 hours racked up on it…it has given me TONS of fun and enjoyment. It just really saddens me to actually experience the game diminish technically throughout the various updates.

I really do hope they manage to get it to a stable and playable condition. The games ambition is faultless …I can see and feel the brilliance of it …I just hate seeing it get progressively mired in crap :frowning:

KCD was a PC game from the start, even during the Kickstarter campaign. However, during development, Warhorse probably got cocky or forced at some point (private investor and publisher?) and thought that they could even make it work for consoles… And now we see the results, getting unpolished support in all platforms.

In my opinion, it’s one of their biggest mistakes, as the game has considerably suffered in quality, deepness and content cut. Hard to solve now, it’s been already 5 months since release… Losing hope, honestly. It’s still an amazing game, I wish long future for Warhorse and historical-RPG genre, but didn’t reach expectations unfortunately.

No that is totally unacceptable, fully within you’re rite to be pissed , forget the nonsense of it not being a console game, then they shouldn’t have released on consoles if they can’t make it run rite.

I get same thing on pc and it’s mainly while sprinting on fast horse otherwise it’s not to bad, this at slightly higher than medium settings.

They should start having independent QA testing.

They already announced this according to frel. So no need continuing to post about it until 1.7.

Can post about it all they want. It can’t and won’t be fixed as it’s been like it since launch and is obviously an engine issue.

@frelmedieval says it’s only in 1.6 and it’ll be fixed in 1.7. So any issues speak to him.

Mate no one needs you’re fucking permission. If people want to talk about it they will.

Talk about it all you want. This is a forum after all. If you want to know what the devs are doing ive told you where to go.

I don’t want to know what they’re doing. It’s i get a feeling it’s unfixable for midrange and lower hardware at least. They had no business even releasing on consoles from the shit I’ve seen.

But ya. Im not arguing mate let’s move along shall we.

Must be annoying for you. I have It on Xbone and no such issues with patch 1.6! And I thought the ps4 could handle it.

Not my words, Daniel Vavra’s:

Fixed as in eliminated probably not. Fixed as is at a state it was in for 1.5 or better, don’t see any reason to disbelieve WH and Daniel Vavra

The base assets were designed specifically for consoles. Not my words. The words of WH graphics guy in a interview posted here a long time ago
