played this game on pc for a while. moved over to console because i have 5-6 friends who do not own pcs and play on ps4. the game was fine up until we all got to end game. the game is literally unplayable when you kill a large pack of enemies especially with a build like explosive winter orb. these issues seem to be shared among many players including myself and ALL of my friends. i have seen zero acknowledgement from the ggg team about this massive issue. why the deafening silence? why not at least tell the community that you are aware of the issue and are working on it. its just plain shady to completely ignore the player base. i regret spending money on stash tabs and i will not spend any more money until this issue is at least acknowledged.

I agree. GGG should at least giving a statement about that.

Im playing on a PS4 Pro and big packs are horrible.



The known Issue Thread is empty. It seems they dont have enough manpower to manage that.

yea i agree. it definitely needs to be addressed because i dont see myself or my friends sticking around if we all keep dying to massive frame drops. being stuck at level 89 for two days because of this issue is not fun. right before writing this i was fighting a boos and my frames dropped to about 3 frames a second followed by a blue screen. at least i didnt lose any xp that time.

I'm amazed people didn't show up with the "gEt An SsD" crap.

It's the same thing on xbox too, don't worry.

Big packs of mobs, explosions, you name it, the frame rate will go haywire. Posted by

An SSD would do nothing for this anyway. SSD's only help when the game is bottlenecked by needing to load-in a ton of unexpected things on the fly.



In this case, the huge packs mostly consist of hundreds of copies of the same exact enemy NPC, usually all with the same buff effects going on. The game only loads one copy of the npc. The buffs on the other hand can be CPU intensive, and the vast quantity of npc's and effects can be GPU intensive. Both of these are the problem, not the hard drive.



An SSD won't help here just as it would do nothing for the framerate problems you get by dropping a million watermellons in Skyrim. What's needed here is dynamic resolution to help ease the GPU and whatever other CPU optimizations can be done. And if all else fails, possibly a reduction of pack size with enemy rebalancement to preserve the difficulty like Diablo 3 did. An SSD would do nothing for this anyway.

'Expect" being the operative there - they may not be able to.



But we should stop using the Xbox as a frame of reference for how GGG could treat the PS4; they seem much more dedicated to getting things fixed this time, possibly because the console community just exploded in size thus is more significant now.

if they arent abler to the least they can do is let people know. not addressing the issue is just plain unethical. if they arent abler to the least they can do is let people know. not addressing the issue is just plain unethical. Posted by
