Newest Patch Performance on PS5
I have been playing since just before the Dawn Of the Hunt so not very long at all, but I’ve noticed that performance on PS5 has been gradually getting choppier and choppier with each new patch. I love the game a lot and I’m not complaining, I’m more hoping to bring it to attention to the devs so I can enjoy the game further. I downloaded today’s patch, and the frame rate is soooo choppy in combat to a dangerous level, regardless of small or big mob group pulls. I love the game, I don’t have many words to complain about the difficulty as I enjoy it but the performance has been gradually degrading. Does anyone else playing on console agree or is it just something me and my buddy had noticed?

You're not alone, I also noticed more lag than usual on the ps5...in the campaign and a bit before today's patch. I was usualy getting this lag when I started an Hourglass trial in Sekhemas or in high density crunchy maps.
I wouldn't have talked about it, but your post is not crying or yelling about it. I think poe2 will need a ps5 pro. It's becoming huge and it's awesome :) Ill gladly buy a pro to play this great game. |

Thanks for speaking out on it, I am glad I’m not the only one who noticed the lag. I agree I think this game is amazing and am considering getting a ps5 pro mostly to play this game. Does anyone with a ps5 pro have any experience with lag after the patch that they could share or does it run well even today?

I'm playing on a Pro.
I've got about 150 hrs in, and havent noticed any frame rate issues. I've noticed dependent on the patch issues with VRR and small sync issues that in those instances gave off an appearance of lag. I kept a close on on frame rate though, and this was not the case for me. The sync issues are very annoying though, and make the game almost unplayable in my opinion. I validated the frame rate in game, and with Freesync thru the monitor. I'm running on the NIS upscale mode, Dynamic, 120hz refresh on a LG CX OLED. I haven't played the game in the last patch or so, but I've noticed lately more than one patch a day so I'm sure I missed one in last day or two since I've been playing Khazan. I heard another big one today. I'll try to run it later today after new patch to make a more informed comment. | |
Thank you for your reply, I didn’t have the words to describe exactly what I was experiencing so “lag” was the best I could come up with. I’m relieved it’s sync issues and not frame rate, I didn’t realize there was a difference.
UPDATE: I’ve been playing all day today and it’s been running smooth as butter, I’m not sure how it’s improved so much but I am very happy that it has. Thank you everyone for your insight and thank you GGG for being such a diligent developer |

My only issue with the game on console is the lack of vsync. I play with wife and we'd both rather have 25fps synced than 60 fps unsynced. Give the option, leave off by default, hide if you have to, but provide it please.
