PS4 game is ruined

Bugs
#1

I loved the game. LOVED IT. Until the latest patches. The game is ruined for me… graphics took a nosedive and seem to be getting worse every new patch that comes out. And I’d expect FPS to have a massive improvement but no… it is still unplayable in certain situations like “massive” battles.

I’m very disappointed after having a good experience previously and now being forced to play a deteriorated version of the game.

Wasn’t this game tested on PS4 before release? I get that the system has many limitations but if that was known then don’t release the game at all on the platform! shame… shame… shame…

Do have pro or vanilla PS4?

vanilla ps4

Crazy. Have had pop-in/texture issues but not lag problems incl Pribyslavitz battle

Backup/restore your game

Seems many gamers all proclaim a specific patch is best. Most game issues (not being patched) are to do with asset handling - the only diffetence ‘console to console’ is user habit/drive maintenance.

As the consoles have no inbuilt drive maintenance (‘rebuilding a database’ is what its namesake implies: nothing more) users should try some steps to return their consoles to optimal/out of box state.

I have given steps elsewhere and am bored arguing with muppets who believe that because a Sony agent told them to ‘rebuild the database’ theyve done everything they can and the problem is with WH. (This isnt necessarily the case and most evidence points to this fact).

Console users taking attitude that they shouldnt learn how to maintain their consumer friendly products is just silly. And a few noise generators on this webpage get in the way of this being diagnosed.
Not a placebo- enjoy better loading times and better texture stream /less save corruptions etc. (Mad hey! A fix exists).

Now cue up fanatics devaluing the forums.
“Give a hand for the noise…”

I’ll try it but if this is the solution expected it is ridiculous… what’s the next move? asking me to compile the game myself?

Another one complaining about the performance of the most demanding game ever made… whilst trying to play it on a $250 calculator

#9

@MuzZ calculator (console) or paper weight (PC) … pretty much seen performance complaints across the board

No, I’m complaining about a game SOLD TO ME for this shit of a platform with a promise that it would WORK. Of course the PS4 is shit compared to a PC but it doesn’t matter… as I said in my OP: if they knew the platform couldn’t handle it, they shouldn’t have released a version for it.

Please use your brains instead of being a butthurt fanboy… it’s pathetic.

edit: PS… all computers are calculators.

read your tutorial on how to ‘fix’ it. first of all, thanks for taking the time to teach others how to do it.

but frankly… format my console HD? delete other games? is this what is needed to run a game? and thinking this is
somehow expected from users? ridiculous… the only thing I’m deleting is KC:D, hoping somehow WH gets its shit together in the future…

i took a less extreme route than proposed by Whitedragem (if you have fatal PS4 CE crashes with other apps too, i’d do what Whitedragem said). i deleted the app and then re-downloaded it. after that, restarted the sys. at first, i hummed like a beast. the number of fatal PS4 CE crashes has diminished. (not eliminated). also, had to trim save files (this is a Sony thing). combined KCD is now playable again; i can go on enemy kill-loot-sell runs . just need to remember to save and trim. save and trim.

when 1.4 comes out, i’ll delete and re-download. restart sys. rinse. repeat.

I put up a few pics / diagrams to help convey that a users drive is made messy from their usage.
Nothing to do with WH.
Sure a game comes out and expects consoles to run in optimal state… (like the test machines ‘in the lab’)

No one can fortell how a user might treat their machine.

My android phone makes navigating these text boxes a lil difficult or I would post the link.

Under topic:
How to fix invisible items/buildings/scenery and/or slow loading and texture streaming issues FIXHEREIN! (Why drive condition matters)

Dude… how is it nothing to do with WH? I own over 90 games and this never was an issue… please…

I am also on a vanilla ps4 I’v encountered a few bugs and had several crashes early on, nothing resent. It wasn’t to long ago that consuls would never even be considered as a platform for the leading edge games. if we have to clear a little memory and make sure our downloads are clean, its a small ask compared to the get in my opinion.

The state of a users machine the responsibility of magic garden gnomes elsewhere in the world.
Sure.
Enjoy your wait for a magic fix that will never follow.

Some aspects of the game are for the devs to fix (no argument),… but each end users machine? No way!

Who cares if you have 1000 generic games all using a small fraction of your consoles power.
Wvery so often a title comes alomg that pushes the usage.
This game blows the witcher 3 out of the water by my system usage standards.
If this game can be made to work on consoles (it can), but just requires users to have optimal case use consoles… not town bicycles that are on verge of collapse… dont blame someone else for an unmaintained bike.

Especially when the bike can be made awesome.

Final fantasy 7 ran on a 33mhz chip with 2mb of ram (a playstation).
Clever tech people figured how to run a CGI vid whilst loading game data in the background.
The game starts right as the opening finished.
This was stunning in the mid nineties.
It did require the console to be running as intended.
If squaresoft had to account for a range of playstation configurations they could never have had the game push so hard.

KCD is one of those few titles that ‘pushes hard’. (It has nothing to compare- the witcher and skyrim both use load zones eg enter a town in skyrim (load). )
Open world is hard to do. If consoles can be made to play the game- fine- thats great; more people to share the game experience with ‘at the watercooler’.

As they can make it great on console (many have not the issues that some do with asset streaming etc), we need to address the differences in end users systems that stop them working optimally (what this game depends on).

When we refuse to help ourselves; others less caring of our needs will have to do it for us…
So delete a few old games becomes FORMAT and start again.
Id rather educate and assist than dictate and destroy.

So why is it that my vanilla PS4, bought specifically for KCD, and my nephew’s much older PS4, with many more games on it have had no game-breaking issues? My nephew finished the MQ and is now finishing out side quests, and I’m about to go to Vranik to start the finish myself? Why are different users on the same systems having such diverse issues/bugs? OR - are there just too many knee-jerk whiners??? Wahhhh, I couldn’t shoot an arrow effectively with no practice! BOO HOO. Wahhh, I couldn’t open every lock right from the start… Give me a break.

Yes your experiences are positive…

No doubt others are having difficulties- some of those people can help themselves to better their game experience.

I’d agree that everyone I know with the game has a very different expwrience to what a minority are going through - the thing is the minority are experiencing some pretty huge issues and have entitlement to seek solutions and report their issues appropriately.

Good thing is the game hasnt been out for two months.

Mist RPGs have gameplay issues for much longer. This isnt out of the ordinary - and THIS team are dedicated to their product. . So we can rest assured the fixes will happen.

It is true that many gamers dont understand that some roleplaying games like to enforce skills points and game systems to allow the roleplaying to happen.

These gamers are used to their hand/eye coordination and gamepad skills to govern their abilities.

I guess its akin to a D&D player not understanding the difference between them as a player and them as a character. Just cause the player knows what is going
on at a table level doesnt mean their character does.

Being great with a controller is good for first person shooter/corridor run games…
Thise games are rpg lite at best. (And seldom have fifteen hours of total gameplay)
Very different beasts.
Most mainstream rpgs are so toned down on the actual roleplay mechanics that modern gamers havent seen that many ‘hardcore’ RPGs.

KCD is a learning experience for them.
One that competitive people might not like…
