PS5 crashes/texture/fidelity/delays optimization

[unreal oyster]

I'm abr to crash out vro, the issues are big

[tardy terrace]

Feels like draw distance has been drastically reduced.

[tulip seal]

Same, the the lag in the draw is still there, and they removed vibration for controllers, and kaifeng sill has massive fps drops compared to qinghe

[tardy terrace]

Npcs are still blurry as hell

Game looks worse in general. Extremely aggressive pop in even in qinghe

[digital oracle]

it definitely looks improved on Pro shrug - it’s noticeably better

[tardy terrace]

Can't seem to swap to the normal mystic art control scheme anymore either

[digital oracle]

At this point I don’t think there’s any pleasing you guys lol

[tardy terrace]

Wtf are you talking about? The game is in a sorry state

[digital oracle]

It’s vastly improved with this update. My issues with Kaifeng are mostly fixed, it was actually broken before

Now it’s working and playable even with lightness / flight

[tardy terrace]

Good for you it's not improved on base console.

[digital oracle]

I’m only hearing that from you

[tardy terrace]

So either buy everyone here a pro or realize that there's still a myriad amount of issues afflicting console still

Several menus cause a complete control lock out

Payment is borked

The game routinely crashes

[tulip seal]

Its still dropping in fps for base, and the draw menu still lags alot, and the controller vibration is nonexistent rn

[tardy terrace]

Performance is pretty damn mediocre. Texture quality remains muddy.

Can't even choose the way you use mystic arts anymore. The alt scheme is forced on you.

[manic rampart]

they did fix the head issue and dual portrait

however, menu is broken

[lavish sequoia]

I cant log in. The screen goes black as I log in

[rapid river]

Will get fixed y’all be patient

[tardy terrace]

Game doesnt even control right anymore. It's doing attacks i do not want it to do

[little sandal]

Anyone having issues of pngs not loading of gear you have? Also, the selector showing what item you are selecting the menus is missing lol

[manic rampart]

i restarted the game

it worked now

[scenic thistle]

The pop-in seems noticeably better so far for me, before the most noticeable was the small bridges would render in to late, after I’d crossed. Not had that happen yet.

[manic rampart]

also where can i find bind account menu on setting?

it dissapear

[tardy terrace]

Draw distance seems markedly reduced. Culling and pop in and constantly presence. Aggressive lod swapping.

[daring cosmos]

The villagers in kaifeng city missing their heads 😅

[tardy terrace]

All for it to run the same as it did last night

Its all so goddamn tiresome

Textures on everything but the player remain muddy

[jolly iris]

I hope they do some emergency maitenance

[manic rampart]

so ps5 cant bind account now

[tardy terrace]

Love having the ground beneath my feet swapping lods as I walk around

Everything far away is shrouded in hazy fog. So much for taking landscape photos

[digital oracle]

That is fixed for me

[manic rampart]

remember this one? it fixed for me

[formal inlet]

I dont know if this is console exclusive right now but the gifting is bugged. I was gifted a outfit and its not showing up in my dms, and I can't send gifts either.

[manic rampart]

another 1.6gb update guy

[digital oracle]

There’s a second ps5 update I heard? People on reddit are saying ps5 vegetation is improved too

[unreal oyster]

Guys, new 1.16gb update, what changed?

[manic rampart]

Boss fight fps did improve

[digital oracle]

How are the textures on bosses now? They used to look awful in cut scenes and intros?

[iron pike]

Is the hdr menu delay fixed?

[unreal oyster]

What's the subreddit?

[digital oracle]

Wherewindsmeet_

The thread is “Game looks better or is it just me?”

[scenic thistle]

I tried to test this after I updated but HDR causing a black screen issue now.

[unreal oyster]

Arigatp

[iron pike]

[scenic thistle]

There is another update, installing now will test HDR again.

[iron pike]

Okok

[scenic thistle]

HDR black screen issue is fixed, however unfortunately the menu delay is still present!

[unreal oyster]

At least they acknowledge and fixed it day one, I'm happy unlike some devs

Still have issues tho

[manic rampart]

Not too bad

At least there is no black thing on their head anymore

[red bluff]

so HDR now blacks out the game, so they quickly rolled back to the chest delay 😂 😂 😂

At least I don't bump into invisible people in KaiFeng anymore, and no more headless people in far distance 😂

[formal inlet]

Yea my gifting is still bugged. I can't accept or give gifts on ps5

[scenic thistle]

Was the menu delay issue fixed when the black screen issue was present?

[red bluff]

No you got the black out instead of the delay 😂

[tacit belfry]

They increased the fidelity, the performance is atrocious now.

they are not optimizing, they are simply changing internal settings

[tacit belfry]

It's the opposite for me, pop in is reduced, NPC are hugely increased, textures are much better

but framerate it's easy 20 fps lower now

[manic rampart]

they manage to fix something, but need to fix fps

[tulip seal]

Controller vibration still hasnt been fixed

[calm bobcat]

Will check it later on the Pro. If pop in is reduced and textures are better, I'll be so happy, but not is fps were reduced so much...

I really couldn't stand seeing the roofs textures

And the character's clothes

But there is a post in reddit about the 1.2 in the Pro and people is saying that is worse than before, with the water not loading and 20-45 fps 😅

[manic rampart]

Does battle pass work cross platform?

Cause now it allow me to buy echo bead on mobile but it a bit expensive compare to psn store

[unreal oyster]

So.. is pop in reduced? Haven't seen yet

[sacred moon]

Game is totally unplayable on PS5 after update

[tulip seal]

I hear people saying it does so thats cool

[digital copper]

HDR settings still not working. Even without HDR, it no longer saves any settings in the display settings. Changes to brightness are also not accepted.
Can anyone confirm this?

[winter violet]

I can. Looks pretty with HDR on, but you can't view anything when opening boxes or see rewards after downing bosses. HDR settings save, but the "Brightness" resets and will not save.

[tulip seal]

Anyone able to view the appearance leaderboard? Its all black screen for me

[thin canopy]

HDR works, brightness levels are better and finer with it enabled. Only HDR issue on PS5 is the menu lag, that unfortunately hasn't been fixed with the last update

[unreal oyster]

It's so laggy in Kaifeng like it's Abt to be stuttering

[jagged tiger]

PS5, I can't see the martial event in my event page

[shy saddle]

Cannot buy premium pass, no items show and I cannot navigate the menus wtf

[tulip seal]

Yea sometimes im stuck in the menu and have to force close

[digital copper]

The problem with HDR still exists. When you turn it on, the menus are laggy. Furthermore, this morning HDR worked very smoothly with the menus, but then you got a black screen when opening chests. Then they installed another update and the problem with HDR is back again.

[tulip seal]

Is voice to text working for any of u?

[lyric axle]

I literally can't update the game which means I can't even play. There's an error bug that tells the player that "they don't have enough space" then it shows that you have enough space to update which just goes back to the error loop of "not having enough space".

I literally can't play the game until they fix this.

[keen sky]

After the update I can't see any item images anymore. I can't see where I am clicking on PS5 because it is not shown like before with the white outline. I am blind clicking through menues and bags. Also I have the feeling that clicks and triggers aren't as responding as before I need to trigger a button more than once to actually work!

[gray thunder]

UI navigation is broken as are visuals of some rewards i.e. gear from clearing outposts as sell

[gray thunder]

Same

Can't even see to recycle 🫠

[winter violet]

Turn off HDR.

[keen sky]

And where in the Game? Sorry for asking dumb but I can't find anything about that. (Changing anything on TV setups didn't help)

[winter violet]

Settings > display > brightness push square for advanced settings

[unique peak]

Deym the framerate on ps5 worsen after the update, ui freeze/delay still not fixed

[keen sky]

uhm well my HDR is off. and turning it on and off again didn't help

[worldly gale]

PS5 players, how do you chat in game ? I find it so hard to navigate the chat menus and use voice-to-text… especially in the midst of sword trials / hero realm

Also my voice to text seems to have stopped functioning as of today’s patch

[tulip seal]

Yeah, same problem here with voice to text not functioning

[river arrow]

I restarted my game after the update. Everything came back to norm

[daring cosmos]

Does anyone doing the lost chapter? Why I cannot see the 3rd enemy 😭😭

Got hit by invisible enemy

[restive tapir]

My voice to text broke with this update too.

Some screens like Elegance leaderboard are solid black except for a few words.

Can't buy battlepass either. Says error code WS-116129-0 Content not found.

This update is so buggy. 😭

Note: Installed smaller PS5 patch after update and all still broken.

[keen sky]

OMG that worked for me too. Which is kinda funny because I haven't played the game since the update at all. LÖL But yay working again I can see where I click and what I select

[calm bobcat]

Ok, report from my PS5 pro. Finally the pop in is way better. Kaifeng fully loads for me, with some pop in but fewer. Some textures look better, but still many of them (walls, roofs...) look like psx era. No crashes or problems with the UI yet, and FPS seems at least not worse. Maybe it will get worse as I play, but it's the 1st update where it looks better for me.

[manic rampart]

the cutscene is pretty good to me compared to last time

the main issue is fps drop

[calm bobcat]

Yeah, I can see better textures in the character and less pop in. But the textures of the scenario are still very low, specially stones, etc.

Btw, I might be blind but does HDR on makes the game look better? Just turned it on and saw no improvement, so I turned it off. I play in bright display because the others are too dark for me in the TV

[red bluff]

go to the ghost market, check if there's area that's too dark to see anything, now turn the HDR on and now you'll see everything.

[digital copper]

There has just been a new update. HDR works and menus are no longer laggy.

[junior tartan]

I cant even join the game. I'm perma stuck at 94%

[calm bobcat]

With which display mode, "where wind meets"?

[scenic thistle]

Third update?

[scenic thistle]

Can confirm! In-game update (currently v1.0.70.53268) the HDR issue with delayed menus has been fixed!

[red bluff]

Yes, on the default display mode which is the 'where winds meets'

[daring cosmos]

Why my camera suddenly snapped to other direction? And I experience lag in abandoned mercy hall 😭

[red bluff]

I too can confirm that they just had 2nd hot fix (v1.0.70.53268) which completely fixed all the issues with the HDR on PS5. Now the chess doesn't softlock, and the card game works flawlessly too!! I'm so happy 😭 😭 😭

[digital oracle]

Great to read some positive comments for once

[ornate depot]

Does anyone else's DualSense controller not vibrate?

[open reef]

I have the same issue

[ornate depot]

Can you adjust the brightness?

[open reef]

I haven't done that since the setup, I will test it

[iron pike]

Are u playing on pro?

[scenic thistle]

Scrolling the gallery is still messed up for others on controller? Issues with not scrolling smoothly, auto/infinite scrolling, losing track of the cursor, cursor moving to the left menu which resets your position in the gallery.

[calm bobcat]

There is still a long way to go in terms of low FPS and textures, but this update just made me go back to the game at least. My main problems were absurd pop in and ugly textures in character, both were improved to some degree on the Pro

[tardy terrace]

Pop in is merely faster for me but it's now everywhere and everything everytime I turn around.

Texture resolution is the exact same as before the patch.

Only now draw distance seems to be halved snd everything not close by is shrouded in mist/fog.

[digital oracle]

Overall this is a pretty good update for ps5 - the fact that Kaifeng is all there, not flickering in and out and playable now is huge.

And - they actually increased the amount of peds in the city, it doesn’t look wildly empty anymore.. and people aren’t appearing or fading in late.

Textures have definitely been upgraded in many areas. Adding resolution back to NPCs was also one of my biggest complaints and they’re wayyyy sharper and higher res now. They also fixed some of the textures in the world.. there were some areas where the mountains were literal low mip blobs before and they look much improved now. It’s not perfect but it’s actually significantly better than I expected

[dense hill]

Is there any way to reach this part on controller?

[digital oracle]

Agreed. While I have moved on from playing on ps5 to PC - this patch would have addressed a lot of my main complaints (mainly character textures close up)

[calm bobcat]

Yes, that and Kaifeng now loading as a whole made it better

[calm bobcat]

I'm thinking maybe base PS5 this time just got worse or not any noticiable change. But till now both pro and base versions played and looked the same IIRC. The game feels laggy yet tho, and I hope improvements will keep flowing for bettee FPS and some world visuals, as well as base PS5.

[slender crown]

Controller on ps5 is totally broken for me. All Icons are gone and I can't see what I'm clicking on bcs it's not highlighted where the controller is going to. So the menus are somehow not even useable

[scenic thistle]

Nope, it’s been bugged since the first update yesterday when I noticed it, still not able to get there after the 2nd update and in-game updates.

[tardy terrace]

Can't even turn hdr off on base its just forced on and looks like garbage

And now kaifeng is just full of npcs that only appear when I slam right into them

[icy gate]

I've crashed at least 20 times since the new update.

[west sonnet]

so many crashes on ps5, cant change difficulty, profile page bugued. So many bugs, the new free cursor on ps5 if you turn it off it leaves a blue mark on the screen that neves goes away

[vague tide]

While doing the human tower event I keep getting kicked randomly and forced into solo world.

[calm bobcat]

I havent had a single crash since I started playing 5h ago. I guess base PS5 might be worse now, or just depends on other factors

HDR is working fine for me too

[scenic thistle]

I’ve had 3-4 crashes on base PS5 since the major update yesterday but none were during active gameplay, all were while navigating the menus.

[dense hill]

And what happened to the sky and photo mode? They are like super bright now all of a sudden

[calm bobcat]

Now for speaking, I had 1 crash while navigating the menu 🤣

The most annoying issue for me is that my combat difficulty is reset to story whenever I put recommended

I tried restarting the game, restoring license...nothing

[west sonnet]

me too on ps5 pro

[west sonnet]

is it solved the issue with hdr and menus when you open chests?

[scenic thistle]

Yes! It was fixed via an in game update or server side update, in game version 1.0.70.53268 no longer has the delayed menus, chest opening etc. due to HDR.

[calm bobcat]

Seems like it, worked with no problems for me after their little patch.

[fathom lintel]

Did that 70gb update fix mkb?

[storm pivot]

UID : 4036377693
Platform : PS5

Detailed Description : Hi, After the update. My windtail lounge is not working. When toggling Mic On/Off the gane freeze and can’t move resulting to application crash or Need Relogin.

I Tried restarting the game and even reinstalled it but its still not working properly on my end. This is kinda frustrating since im a big spender and the feature is not working on my end. Please see attached file for your reference. Please fix this asap. Thank you so much

[fathom lintel]

Did they fix mkb?

[unreal oyster]

Is Kaifeng lag fixed? It's unplayable on kaifeng

[vagrant wigeon]

Nameless general fight is bad for me, this boss not hard but stuttering make me angry 🙁

[twin sphinx]

Same, someone lmk when this is fixed please

[hard herald]

update your game

[tulip seal]

Nameless general has the most noticeable fps drop so far for me

Kaifeng fps drop is still there but alot better than before with less popups and more npcs

[thick dune]

I'm having trouble claiming gifts on the ps, when I'm clicking the button to claim it's taking me to report the player section 😭 help

[fading egret]

Same my duo gifted me a spear skin and it just wants me to report her

[thick dune]

Yeah, that sucks

And when I'm trying to buy a new kitten game crashing every time

[humble token]

I can't exit teams. Before the patch, you'd hold L2 to bring up the D-pad so that you can navigate to the options icons. Then you'd select using the 3 horizontal buttons. You can directly choose to leave team from the screen. However, the horizontal button brings up the menu. The only way I can leave teams is to press the middle button + R, choose channel > team > hold triangle for team > view team > select leave team.

It's a huge hassle.

[manic rampart]

R2 seem to not response when you check your bag and navigate through common, develop, event item

[quick zodiac]

same. on top of that, many collectable item icons have disappeared and only have the amount number displaying

[storm dagger]

After the update things get worse on PS5! The chat stucks when I scroll down messages, the settings button isn't reachable! The set transform button for gear is so badly implemented that it's a horror navigate there!
Idk if it's something in general but on my switch to solo from online I found myself in the fight of the perception Forrest mode, made the 3rd place even if I didn't take place in the mode.
Please devs do something! All the optimizations seem for PC and mobile, you forgot the console players!

[dense hill]

Did you end up in Perception forest while trying to switch to solo world? This is pretty peculiar. I wonder if that made you somehow leave the sect you were in so it dropped you there?

Yesterday in the graceful melody performance mode the directional “up” button just was never registering any of the pressings. Note or no note.
There were settings to rebind so I tried to move it around (unbind/rebind) - no luck. Next time I played (restarting the mode itself, after exiting from it) it seemed to get back to normal again.

[storm dagger]

Yeah that's exactly what happened and yes it made me leave the sect (finally) cause I already left 2 days ago but it wasn't recognized by the game. Now with all this weird stuff going on I finally left*lol
Yeah I also recognized this weird behavior with the graceful melody. Now everything makes sense and I'm happy (but also very sad) that I'm not alone.
Do you also have this chat horror going on since the update? Now it's more broken as it was! Honestly...I put a lot of money in the game because I love it, but it starts to get very frustrating and I'm one step ahead to quit forever even if I just bought the new monthly fonds and the premium battle pass.
This is not how they should treat console Players!

[dense hill]

Yeah I am trying to minimize my presence there till more fixes are (hopefully) incoming as it is all just way too annoying now

[tawdry ether]

Hi all, just wanna let you guys know that the touchpad swipe features on PS5 is not working eii

[lyric fractal]

Worst update ever, we can't kill dog anymore we can only pet & feed them 😢

[unkempt crest]

Hey guys, I wonder why right now we have to hold R2 to interact with NPC ? Can we remove this ?

[dense briar]

You can switch back to before in settings on the 1st page, can't remember the option name.

[unkempt crest]

I couldn’t find it 😓

[dense briar]

It's the option under cursor sensitively or something...not in-game atm.

[dense briar]

Setting > controller settings > Automatically change interaction

[unkempt crest]

Thank you !

[dense briar]

Anytime 🫡

[fathom lintel]

Did they fix mkb?

[sharp coral]

can anyone buy the elite battlepass?? (not the premium)
it said content not found WS-116129-0

[west sonnet]

restore license, worked for me

anyone having a loading bug when trying to access your profile menu where you can change the tittles and all that stuff? Mine's just empty page after a cutscene

[tawdry valley]

Hey guys is anyone having an issue with the wind tail lounge freezing your game after turning on open mic on PS5??

[oak cobalt]

Please tell me they’re working on a fix for the co-op menu
I can’t select anything when I’m in a team cuz it keeps opening my other menu

[slate flame]

Hey everyone, my character won't appear in my scenario. It's a group portrait; you can see my friend, not me (my friend can see it). But every time I try to see it for myself it's a black screen. Is it a way to delete a scenario completely and try again?

[fickle gust]

came here for this, im also not able to buy it

[digital copper]

Habe the Same

[snow field]

helpu pls

[lyric axle]

I literally, still can't play the game. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and the update still doesn't work. The game is bricked on my PS5

[warm skiff]

Anyone else having trouble making the horse go faster? 😭 when is this all getting fixed cause its kinda annoying to play now since it just feels laggy and many things are missing.

[tardy terrace]

Check back in a month

It'll probably be more broken by then

[wooden garnet]

the light and shadows options (options like bright, etc) are screwed after the update, i cannot play like this bc i rely on the motion sickness settings/bright setting and now they dont really. apply... :(

[tardy terrace]

Comically low res textures still a thing to boot.

[restive tapir]

Any fixes for claiming gifts yet (on PS5)?

Bug is claiming a gift sent by another player takes you to the Report Player screen instead.
😢

[tardy terrace]

Nope. No fixes for any issue.

Wouldn't expect any for weeks going from experience

[winter violet]

I can't join jailbreaks from recruitment in chat. It opens up guild pages when I try. Anyone else or am I doing something wrong?

[soft heath]

Also I don’t see people mentioning the scenarios are bugged you can’t save them. It will default back to the original pose and lighting when you look at your profile regardless of saving..

[soft heath]

The scenarios for ps5 are broke I’m having issues as well. Even my pc friends after they save their changes it’s not shown on their profile at all..

[west sonnet]

i'm not able to change my game difficulty from story to recommended. It always stays on Story

[west sonnet]

Yeah for me the whole profile menu with the scenario and titles, just does not load

[humble token]

oops they clocked it. "You can now use all Mystic Skills that you unlocked without Manually Equipping them by pressing Alt+C in where winds meet #WhereWindsMeet"

if you hold R2, you see the "C" image pop up, but I have no clue how to access that button in order to activate it

[soft heath]

Yeah I don’t know why it hasn’t been fixed the scenarios have been bugged for over a month I’m not sure if the mods or the team knows 🙁

[west sonnet]

for me it worked fine just until the update, i was able to change my hero title etc. Now all i get is a cutscene and a empty page full of random code letters and loadings

[tulip seal]

Yea makes me annoyed that it always defaults back to the original pose

[somber mango]

Now Social is bugged....instead of displaying my friends' names it says "unknown". UI is also bugged in develop and menu... won't show what I'm selecting in any part of the game

[west sonnet]

yep same, Hope they take a look at all those issues asap

[soft heath]

Yeah I really hope this is fixed or at least acknowledged. We can’t even show off our characters 😭😭😭😭

[winter violet]

Hold R2 and push touch pad to enable. To disable it enter construction mode then exit construction mode.

[humble token]

THANK YOU!

[humble token]

you can also press O to exit too

just found that out while playing around with it

[winter violet]

I tried and it made me use skills

Seems to work now though.

[humble token]

i think they've been fixing things as they go along.

still haven't fixed exiting the team thing

[dense hill]

I was trying to repro that but yesterday I left the team several times with no issues like I did before the update? What is supposed to be broken there?

[humble token]

you're able to press L2 and use the D-pad + 3 horizontal lines to exit the team?

because for me, the moment I press the 3 horizontal line to select "exit team" icon from the screen, the entire WWM menu comes up, because the 3 horizontal line on a normal day is the menu. However, if you're on a team, L2 + menu button is supposed to be the selection action button, not the regular menu button

[dense hill]

Not sure what you mean by 3 horizontal but after l2 and d pad I navigate to the upper right option above the team and press “menu” button then is asked if I want to leave the team and can confirm there

[humble token]

on your controller, the 3 horizonal button near the touch pad

[dense hill]

Ah you mean the one that is normally used to open the main menu right?

[humble token]

yes, so my issue is when I press the button, the entire WWM menu like profil, develop, bag, etc pops up

[dense hill]

Yes, that is “menu” button I meant, which is used in that scenario as a confirmation kinda button

[humble token]

exactly

after the update, WWM seems to have forgotten the menu button is also used as a confirmation button for teams

[dense hill]

I see, I was afraid of that as then it means you can’t select someone for healing/ress as well, if that input priority is bugged, but it worked for me. Unless it was a fix that was recent, I played quite late into the night

[humble token]

i played just now

still can't exit teams

I have to do it in a round about way by going to channel > team > view team > leave team

[dense hill]

There is probably a certain condition that causes it to get into this bugged state I feel, which I didn’t meet somehow. Because other input bugs seems to come and go at random

[humble token]

I can heal and res, since that is R3 and R2 respectively.

It's specifically the menu button used as the confirmation button that doesn't work

Oh, but I can't select anyone to teleport to me if I'm the host

since, ya know, I can't select

[dense hill]

But to specify a team member you will still be using l2 plus dpad navigation over the party list and “horizontal lines/menu button” to select them as your target, no? Otherwise the skill will be used on those who the game chooses as priority instead

[humble token]

I just run over to their bodies to heal/res

lol...I didn't even know you could select their names from the teams list

that's good to know for when this is fixed

[dense hill]

But yeah, this will be the same select for any other interactions like to kick/pass leader etc

[humble token]

yeah, and I can't do any of that

[dense hill]

We are already with this awkward version of navigation even when it is not bugged…
I wonder if you can rebind menu button to smth else and see if the conflict will stop? Though I am not usre that one was open for rebinding at all..

[humble token]

i tried looking for it....but there is no rebinding for the menu or for the team selection

[somber mango]

UI issue seems to have been fixed for me. I can see my cursor again

[shrewd dagger]

Anyone else unable to use the new touchpad features? Is like I haven't changed anything at all

[dense hill]

I don’t think it works

[hasty mantle]

I can't for some reason before I could there was an arrow or something, when it comes to the menus . Unless I'm not paying attention.

[somber mango]

The icons didn't light up for me mostly

[tardy terrace]

A lot is broken. Absolutely no timeline on fixes.

You can only slog through or stop playing until they fix it.

[short pumice]

A lot of crashes on PS5, also after winning perception forest (solo and flex) the game crashes

[hasty mantle]

I'm curious say I got some chests whether it's inner way etc and I didn't open them in time. Where would I find them? In the bag section maybe?

[thick dune]

The bag -> common

Any fixes with the gift claiming for the console?

[lucid salmon]

not a huge issue but some bamboo textures were broken when i played - they were waving around

[tardy terrace]

No fixes for any bug introduced in latest update

[thick dune]

Great...

[tardy terrace]

Yea might as well not play. Game is garbage on console rn

Crashes everytimr it throws me into online. Menus non functional. Runs like crap.

I just don't see how they think this is acceptable.

Did they not test ANY OF THIS FIRST?

[royal mica]

The game is way too dark after 1.2 update. I am at max brightness and I can barely see anything when it rains or when I'm at the guild base.

[tardy terrace]

That's what forced hdr on a game never intended to be viewed under hdr gets you

:D enjoy!

They probably wont ever undo that change

[tardy terrace]

New issue unlocked: tracking a location during co-op on ps5 absolutely destroys the games framerate. Canceling tracking restores it.

Seems to specifically occur when tracking outposts that are in the same part of the map as the character is, under 1km away or so roughly

[fathom lintel]

Did they fix the mouse and keyboard issue?

[tardy terrace]

No

No issues have been fixed. Period.

Only new issues

[manic rampart]

Nameless general fight has fps drop

[thick dune]

Gift claiming is fixed for me

[torpid sparrow]

Issues since release

• Divine Counter didn't work properly (change settings to 1 Button fixed it for me)
• I switched Parry to R2 but some actions that require R2 like entering Dungeons dont work i have to spam R2 like 10 times to get in.

After the Patch 1.2

• I can't enter the Text Box for Gifting therefore I can't gift anything
• Touchpad courser seems buggy and leaves a blue dot after deactivating
• More crashes after 1.2
• Turn off Crossplay doesn't work for Arena maybe that's intended but imo it shouldn't

[visual charm]

Same, after 1.2 update the UI controls (especially in chat and other social functions) got so bad.

• can' gift
• can't leave guild voice chat, it says to press L (or R) and when I do it starts recording instead lmao
• game constantly unfocuses inputs/btns that I have focused in chat
• completely random and unintuitive first focus across the game (after sword trial fight, when ending coop, etc)
• navigating team/groups UI got even worse than it was before (people are constantly confused about how to teleport the rest of the team)

There's one place where input/btn focus got better tho and it's the recycle inner ways shop.
And there's a lot of other stuff that got much better QoL style, and I love them, just so I don't sound like there's only bugs haha.

[manic rampart]

I can’t turn on full brightness

It still stuck on mid brightness

Despite me confirm the process

[storm dagger]

Anyone else experiencing massive problems with:

1. The chat
   I can't scroll down beyond a certain point before it suddenly stops.
2. R2+ Option to, for example, leave the team.
   It only opens the menue
3. Musical quests lag and stutter
   The falling balls hang as soon as I press a button, the whole music system is now bugged
4. Metallic sound in group cultivation
   Annoying as hell when you do synchron sword dance the sounds became a metallic noise ( Star wars sword sound)

There are many many more bugs and problems after the update! I'm not sure if their focus is only PC and mobile, but they will lose a lot of players if they don't work on improvement and provide fixes for the PS5 community

[sour marsh]

Texture rendering is slow every time i open the game . Any fix ? PC platform Steam

[vagrant wigeon]

This is ps5 topic !

[errant flicker]

Hello, i have being experiencing a problem with gifts.

A friend sent a gift for me, but every time i click triangle to redeem it the report window shows up and i can't redeem it.

I am on ps5

[storm dagger]

If I could I would help you, but I'm also only a PS5 player and I experience the same problems as you. The devs finally have to take care of us console players! I hope they hear us.
My tip: write an in game report and choose "item and rewards" as topic.
Good luck 🤞

[errant flicker]

Thank you, i already did it. I hope we can find a fix for it.

[tawdry valley]

Has anyone encountered and fixed the bug where windfall lounge freezes your game if you tune on open mic?

[shrewd dagger]

did they fix the touchpad settings not working

[snow quail]

Is anyone having the issue where the cursor on ps5 just keeps drifting to bottom right? It shouldnt be my controller as both controllers i have the same drift when cursor is enabled

[open reef]

I can't acess my profile in-game, it just shows a black screen with "Return" and my ID: on the bottom left

[shrewd dagger]

If you exit a menu (like back to moving your char) while the cursor is moving, it will continue to the direction it was moving before you left the menu when you open it back again (leaving menu ≠ turning off cursor)

wait nevermind i see what you're actually talking about

yeah i have it too we can just assume everyone has it

its so slow lol

prolly set a number 1 pixel too high in the code

[restive tapir]

Since the big update that caused all the problems a few days ago I also noticed that the game became ridiculously dark in some areas for me on PS5 Pro. In-game brightness is turned all the way up in settings too.

I could barely see anything as you go down in the cave for the quest to clear the MISTVEIL poison fog. Even going inside the Silver Needle Healer's house (the one who saves you when you first go in) for that quest, it was so dark in his house I ended up going into building mode and putting lamps, and it was still too dark. Also more than half of the lamps/lanterns in building mode don't work there.

I did the Wolf Maiden quest today and even the area where you fight wolves and a bear and make your way up the mountain, I could barely see.

The game was dark on PS5 before, but it's awful now. I downloaded it on mobile to see if we could work around not being able to claim gifts, and the game is SO much brighter there!

As it is currently, I feel like most Caves, night exploration and Divinecraft Dungeons are almost unplayable on PS5.

Even when exploring around Kaifeng, when you go into a shaded area during the day, you end up half blind. I shouldn't have to use fireflies or build lamps to be able to do basic exploration.

I feel like they should hold off on releasing new content until they fix this version of the game. I love the game but after last big update, it's become so frustrating. I appreciate that they're working on fixing it. Hopefully they fix all of the problems, and the next updates aren't more of this.

It shouldn't be that hard to fix being able to claim a gift without it trying to report the player instead.

Also a warning to others about the gift-giving. If the other person can't claim your gift, you DON'T get a refund. The transaction is not reversed to your payment method, or even put as an in-game dollar amount credit.

It looks like you only get the item back as an item in your bag, with the ability to gift it again.

So for something like gifting a battle pass if you can't give it to somebody you can hopefully at least use it for yourself, but completely useless if it's something like an Outfit that you already own.

[manic rampart]

I saw some flickering issue in mistveil prison

[digital oracle]

Why don’t you play in bright mode? There’s no way that would be too dark

[unreal oyster]

Haptics are finally back. And I'm happy

[sour marsh]

Oh sorry my bad .

[calm bobcat]

Bright mode is the only way for me in console

HDR helps a bit too

[copper narwhal]

They rlly need to fix the fps in the towns and settlements

[calm bobcat]

They do

[unreal oyster]

Kaifeng is currently like laggy and stuttering. It's annoying

Also. Hope they fix the brightness toggle. I can't toggle it

[copper narwhal]

What abt the fps

Is it at least like 40 or something

[unreal oyster]

Prob. But the stuttering is just annoying

At least no more pop in or texture problems

[copper narwhal]

I js want stable 60 🙏

[unreal oyster]

Currently qinghe is smooth sadly, Kaifeng is cooking the ps5

[copper narwhal]

I havent been to kaifeng yet but my fps drops to like 40 in blissful retreat and heavens pier

[royal mica]

I'm in bright mode max brightness and it's still way too dark

Also the teleport to team button was broken before, but now the leave team button is problematic as well

Does anyone know where to link account in settings? I swear it used to be there but I can't find it now.

[coarse galleon]

Has anyone else noticed that Sea of Fire doesn't explode barrels like it used to? That puts you in a bad place since that was always used to clean the field of barrels.

[tawdry valley]

Hey guys! Wondering if anyone has run into the bug where your game freezes when you click the open mic button in Windtail on PS5! You can still speak in VC and hear others while your game is frozen but it will remain that way until you close the game.

I’m a guild leader, so that automatically makes me the Windtail Host. I speculate that that has something to do with it. When if I’m alone in Windtail it still freezes my game. I can speak freely in teams and groups just not Windtail. This happened after the big 1.2 Update.

[dense briar]

https://account.wherewindsmeetgame.com/page/account-management/wherewindsmeet/home

[iron pike]

Yes ts does happen to me

[tawdry valley]

Have you found a way to fix it or a work around?

[iron pike]

no i just close app🥀

[tawdry valley]

Same! Ahh let me know if you find a workaround!

[wooden garnet]

bright mode is no longer bright yeah and the motion sickness setting doesnt really apply anymore either

[tardy terrace]

The reason the game looks too dark is because the brightness setting is non-functional.

The update broke display settings amongst the other crap it broke, so console players can only play the game using default visual settings.

[swift ledge]

Hi everyone, i don’t know if someone already talked about this issue but it’s been 3 days since my profil page don’t appear correctly. I can’t even click somewhere….there is a loading sign everywhere ant it’s getting on my nerves

[west sonnet]

Same, on ps5 profile page not working. There'se also a bug changing brightness with HDR enabled, the new settings are not saved at all, the game keeps it the way you had it before trying to change it, it also happens with game difficulty between Story and Recommended

[tardy terrace]

None of those settings can be changed atm. Completely broken.

[winter violet]

Seems you can't do cross server matchmaking either. The option turns off after matching starts.

[wind rose]

Yeah , This new update Sucks , it makes the game LAGGY , Delay Rendering , and so much more... even after the newest FIX it STILL THE SAME ( i play mobile version using Tablet ) , before update it was smooth but now , sucks..... PLEASE FIX IT AND UNLOCK MORE FPS OPTION

[restive tapir]

FOR TEAM or CO-OP
(Can't select icon, move cursor, leave team, invite players etc.)

I did notice a temporary work around for the leave team, teleport to team, etc button icons (on PS5).

When you press and HOLD L2, if you can only highlight the white flag on the left keep pressing down 2 to 4 times... Then it should allow you to move the icon to the other icons.

If you want to interact with a certain person on the team, move the box so it's around their name, press the three line select button on your controller, and then press the center touch pad on the controller... This should pop up a menu with options like summon members, transfer leader, invite to co-op, instant teleport, kick from team.

You can also access some of the in-team commands by pressing Touchpad, R3... going to the person if they're in your friends list, view Nameplate (triangle button usually)
And then once you're there you can usually choose to request co-op, invite to co-op, request team, kick from team, etc.

CAN'T LEAVE TEAM? go to the SOCIAL tab under the main menu, go to TEAM, then along the bottom there should be the option to hold down a button to leave.

So press down on White flag repeatedly to activate curson to move to other icons.

Interact with a specific team member through their name (if you can move the cursor to their name). Center pad, R3 to bring up options.

Or in friends list, chat channels, guild member list, pull up their name plate and you should have team/co-op options there.

Leave team from Team under Social Menu.

Hopefully those can help a lot of people with team and co-op problems right now. 🙏

[red bluff]

Since the update, the game had very strange stutter when you make sudden turn on your character (just by moving back and forth using left stick will make the frame rate to nose dive) making the game feeling very laggy, but today's hot fix seemed have fixed it.

[winter violet]

They need to have a performance option on consoles.

[lost lichen]

like LaDragon Ishin?

[winter violet]

Like any game made for PS and Xbox for the last 10 years.

[west sonnet]

also on ps5 pro with Ray tracing enabled sometimes water in kaifeng doesn't render

[west sonnet]

Does not even have a good quality mode hahaha

[winter violet]

Right, thats the point. 5 years in and devs still haven't figured out 1440p 60fps med\high setting is a better option than native 4k on consoles.

[royal mica]

Did anyone notice an increase in the intensity of the controller vibration for charged attacks. Happened overnight

[kind gyro]

Out of nowhere can't reach the servers on ps5 but on my Ipad I can log in anyone who can help me with this I will appreciate it

[lapis lintel]

I have connection issue to server on PS5, even i connect with my best internet, it wont connect to server

[royal mica]

I can log in just fine though. Asia region

[tawdry valley]

Hey guys! Wondering if anyone has run into the bug where your game freezes when you click the open mic button in Windtail on PS5! You can still speak in VC and hear others while your game is frozen but it will remain that way until you close the game.

[daring cosmos]

Bow button in L2 and R2, makes me open the co-op setting 😅

[restive tapir]

Oddly enough after posting that I found myself unable to leave the team because the three line select button kept opening the main menu instead of confirming my selection to leave. lol

If anyone finds themselves stuck in the team and can't leave, go to the SOCIAL tab under the main menu, go to TEAM, then along the bottom there should be the option to hold down a button to leave the team.

At this point I'm wondering if they have somebody working for them intentionally sabotaging the game. I've never seen so much programming being messed up by one update! So much broke with that update that I feel like they should have just rolled the update back and added the new features in smaller batches. (Not a 70GB update ).

[manic rampart]

You gotta hold l2 and use d pad to select leaving team option then you press menu on controller

[daring cosmos]

Can we remap buttons on ps5? What's the button for charged skills?

[manic rampart]

ps5 crash now is more noticeable

i've been crashing every 1 hour when ever i go to menu

[restive tapir]

Yes, Normally that's how it's SUPPOSED to work, however some people (myself and my spouse) are experiencing the problem when they hold L2 and they can't move the cursor anywhere except for the white flag on the left.

My spouse and I play co-op almost every day since we started, we never came across a problem UNTIL this update where we couldn't invite, summon or follow, or leave.

If the cursor gets stuck on the White flag press down repeatedly until it moves down to the chat icon and then you SHOULD to be able to move it around to the other team icons.

I also noticed that the game has been crashing more lately. It almost never crashed before.

[manic rampart]

i'm kinda frustrated too

[restive tapir]

Anyone notice some of the bamboo trees waving in the wind like ribbons? lol The bottom of one or two trees or stalks out of a group has completely detached from the ground and is waving like a curtain in the wind. Weird but I'm not mad. At least it's a harmless glitch that doesn't cause any inconvenience. 🤣

[shrewd dagger]

anyone else touchpad settings do literally nothing

[daring cosmos]

I find them on autumn retreat when catching oddities, it's like gas station mascot😂

[daring cosmos]

How do we bought battle pass on console?

[digital oracle]

There’s a new patch today, not sure if it addressed anything

[digital oracle]

Well, a 5.5gb one I just downloaded on PC - not sure if consoles got anything

[narrow venture]

About 3 hours ago on ps5 pro, it took me about 1 min to login into the game if not it say account doesn't exist

After login loading those stuff on map also need wait, as what i know before that there's wasn't having this problem (eg. I was beside river when i login, the river was dry when i login and need wait awhile then the water was loaded out) not sure for now

[restive tapir]

Someone posted this up above...
"also on ps5 pro with Ray tracing enabled sometimes water in kaifeng doesn't render"

Not sure if turning Ray Tracing off will help with graphics not loading in, but hopefully.

[narrow venture]

I didn't turn on ray tracing from the start

Only hdr after they fix

[digital copper]

Streaming the game on PlayStation and PlayStation Portal is no longer possible.

[digital copper]

Why

[tardy terrace]

They added every single thing the game has in China in that update, and didn't test anything.

We can expect to see the game remain in a broken state for months. Each "update" we get will reveal more and more bugs and broken features.

[scenic thistle]

Crash everytime you leave a co-op session! Fix when?

[digital copper]

HDR is really Bad in this Game

[digital oracle]

I’m starting to suspect the majority of issues people are experiencing are due to:

1. HDR (doesn’t even look good, turn it off)
2. Raytracing. Major performance hit - the water in Kaifeng doesn’t even draw with it on and it’s not even an option for PCs on Ultra
3. Lag - I’ve never experienced half the menu things brought up here, making me think it’s connection specific
4. Old installs. At one point I was getting regular crashes and after a clean reinstall it never crashed again

Obviously there’s a ton of other issues, but the comments here are usually about one of the 4 listed above

[wooden garnet]

HDR does look quite bad and i never had it on but I'm still pretty annoyed that none of the visual modes work anymore. brightness settings don't save, other motion sickness settings don't work at all. not being able to change things like subtitle size isnt a bug but it does suck.

I dont really get lag and only crash sometimes. but there's a (sickening) visual glitch when playing the melody game, when there starts to be nore than a couple notes on screen the frames start jumping

[digital oracle]

Does bright mode still work?

[digital oracle]

Wow, I just went back to my ps5 to check. The fact that brightness adjust doesn’t work is wild.. the default gamma and levels are way too dark, so you NEEDED to boost brightness just to be able to play. I can’t believe it doesn’t work. Also, all the graphics modes seem to work except Bright, which would have been a good holdover in this situation. I don’t blame you for getting mad over this one, I couldn’t play it without correct brightness and it should have been patched immediately

[tardy terrace]

You cant change the display settings, genius. They're bugged

Stop apologizing for the single laziest developer of an mmo ive ever seen in my life.

I can think of no developer who would think to front load the entirety of the next year of updates into a single untested patch

They broke multiple game systems and torched nearly every aspect of the ui making it broken or inaccessible

Profiles still don't work correctly. Poses are still broken. The social menu is a mess. Trying to use the team or co op ui on console is a nightmare.

They still haven't fixed bugs that were introduced over a month ago.

And now with every subsequent update we can expect more added buggy behavior

Zero QA. ZERO bug testing.

You are the QA. And they'll overcharge you on top of it.

You can like this game despite the myriad issues but you do not get to pretend they don't exist.

You only do harm to the game and its players when you act so insistently deluded

[digital oracle]

Reporting for insults and personal attacks. No need for that

[tardy terrace]

Go ahead

You should reflect upon your behavior here if you read an honest appraisal of your words as "insulting". Maybe you should consider you're the one insulting the intelligence of the people here who are simply struggling with the games broken state

[digital oracle]

Did you even read my last post?

[tardy terrace]

While you lie and act like they dont exist

[digital oracle]

Tell me one lie I have said

[tardy terrace]

Every goddamn time you claim contrary to what people here report

[digital oracle]

Name one time

[tardy terrace]

All you do is act like people should be grateful

Every single thing you say here.

[digital oracle]

I’ll wait

Should be easy to quote then

I’m waiting

[tardy terrace]

Read anything you've posted

[digital oracle]

You have no argument

You’re just angry

[tardy terrace]

No I'm tired of your nonsense

Tired of you trying to tell people theyre the issue

Instead of the game

[digital oracle]

Literally post something, one thing - that I have posted that is incorrect ?

[tardy terrace]

Are you a plant?

Youve claimed bugs people have experienced didn't exist

You've said that to me personally

[digital oracle]

I’m trying to help people solve the issues the best they can in the interim. All I’ve read from you is complaints, personal attacks and whining without solutions

[tardy terrace]

The bulk of what you do is useless denial and telling people they should be happy with the state of the game

[digital oracle]

I’ve never said that. Again, you’re just making stuff up. Quote me

Prove it

[tardy terrace]

This topic is expressly for reporting bugged or broken behavior

[digital oracle]

Quote one instance of me saying what you claim

[tardy terrace]

I'm not scrolling that far back

And you're grandstanding anyway

[digital oracle]

Because you don’t actually have an argument. It’s just a personal attack. I’m in here trying to help people, you aren’t

[tardy terrace]

You know exactly what I'm referring to

Telling people the game is bugged and broken is actually helpful

Rather than let them tear their hair out thinking its on them

When it isn't, not here.

[digital oracle]

Which I agree with. But some things can be worked around.. assuming patches will be coming. Many of the complaints on here have solutions

[tardy terrace]

Except no there are no workarounds

All you have is prayer

No they dont you cant fix poses or unscrew the ui control issues

You cant fix how hideously dark the game is

Or the graphics in the game

Draw distance, extreme haze

[digital oracle]

Bruh, my last post literally acknowledged that

[tardy terrace]

No you have only begged off on that one issue

Name a goddamn workaround if you have one because so far as can be told. There aren't any.

Its on the DEVELOPERS to do their job.

[digital oracle]

I looked for one for the brightness and couldn’t find one

[dense hill]

This as a bit too much doom talk imo. I get you are frustrated but it doesn’t help anyone to keep saying such wild assumptions to people who come here to report issues. Honestly taking a break might be a good idea. In any case take care

[wooden garnet]

bright mode is part of their settings for motion sickness too so its extra hellish that its broken lol 💔 sad to know its not just my system but glad also bc i hope to see a fix soon. I've reported it a couple times, hopefully others do to!

[manic rampart]

Honestly if I play the game for 4-5 hours straight without touching any menu

I won’t crash

Crash is kinda rng lol, sometime you don’t crash when accessing the menu

[snow quail]

they finally fixed the cursor drift!!

[unreal oyster]

What did the 600mb update do

[west sonnet]

it still leaves the blue pixel for me, also I'm I the only one that can't access profile menu? I only get a blank page

[wind rose]

Still broken this patch , Nothing FIXED

still laggy , and not Optimize like before update

[spring gazelle]

i got 89 gb update yesterday

[cold jetty]

Refund items or cores don’t just reset server

[past halo]

will they fix the graphics on ps5? it looks horrible, textures not loading at all

[unreal oyster]

Mine looks fine tho

[past halo]

good for you brother 🫡

[winter violet]

Can we not enter player id on the find fledgling page?

[tacit belfry]

the game is running at 1080p on PS5 base, i don't know why you think this is 4k

[tawdry valley]

Hey guys! Wondering if anyone has run into the bug where your game freezes when you click the open mic button in Windtail on PS5! You can still speak in VC and hear others while your game is frozen but it will remain that way until you close the game.

I’m a guild leader, so that automatically makes me the Windtail Host. I speculate that that has something to do with it. When if I’m alone in Windtail it still freezes my game. I can speak freely in teams and groups just not Windtail. This happened after the big 1.2 Update.

[unreal oyster]

I think it's the bug, I rarely to no use VC so yea

[winter violet]

Game targets 4k resolution not 1080p in single player. Multiplayer drops resolution just like all other multiplayer games. It may dip down to 1080p, but it doesn't stay at 1080p 100% of the time.

[digital oracle]

No it doesn’t, it just upscales to 4k. It absolutely does not target 4k lol

[winter violet]

Tell that to the devs that said it.

[digital oracle]

Targeting can mean upscaling, which all games will do on a 4k compatible tv, but they definitely aren’t trying to render 4k natively

[manic rampart]

has anyone encountered a crash after finishing hero realm?

first time i crash after killing twin lion in hero realm

around 238 hours of playtime, i have crashed about 25 times

[smoky topaz]

Even though there's a new patch now,
the sound bug when entering the Mystic menu hasn't been fixed.
Every time I enter, the sound seems to distort the speakers, and then all sound goes silent. 😔 😔 😔

I've played for 509 hours.
I've probably crashed more than 50 times. 😂

[novel comet]

I haven played in over a month (PS5 Pro) and would like to know if the game is fixed yet, but seeing all these comments above, I would say not? I finished only first area, and would like to explore Kaifeng, but it was horrible experience, performance wise

[west sonnet]

I fear that menu, kills my ears lol

I cant get to my profile menu, I only get a blank page after a cutscene

[digital copper]

They haven't even managed to make it possible to save the brightness. Cross-server gaming doesn't really work either.

[worldly gale]

Any PS5 players tried the Guild War? I just finished 4 matches and they were very laggy. I noticed:

• choppy animations and stuttering / low FPS
• suddenly hit by multiple invisible spells/abilities simultaneously (as though I was lagging)
• intermittently encountering invisible enemies and team-mates

The above was worse in combat, not really noticeable when around teammates (fewer players)

I don’t have these issues playing on single player or co-op, although hero realm raids have been a little laggy/choppy in similar ways, but only like 10-20% as bad as Guild War. 1v1 Arena is fine for me

The Guild war was fun so hopefully they fix this soon

[daring cosmos]

They really need to fix the brightness settings on ps5 asap 😭 also fixing Kaifeng fps, it drops on some area

[digital oracle]

Kaifeng is better than when you last played it, but there is a bunch of other new issues that have appeared.. it’s pretty much unplayable due to the lack of brightness sliders at the moment

[digital oracle]

Kaifeng drops fps even on a pc with a graphics card twice as powerful as the ps5. It will always struggle on consoles unless they simplify the detail to mobile levels

Brightness is unacceptable. I couldn’t play the game with default brightness which was always way darker than pc

[red bluff]

Anyone with the brightness issues on PS5 (ie. too dark in places) should try enabling the HDR in the settings menu (it's under the brightness tab) This game really is meant to be played with HDR turned on forPS5. It makes a world of difference.

[past halo]

yes, I can't even change the brightness setting.

[west sonnet]

me neither

[red bluff]

don't need to, just enable HDR in advanced tab under the brightness 😎

[west sonnet]

but then if you try and change the brightness it does not save, at least it keeps it the way it was before for me

[red bluff]

HDR ON and OFF comparison (these shots were taken off screen) As you can see the difference is staggering. It's almost unplayable with HDR off.

[red bluff]

Here's another one, as you can see the sun set is darker on the HDR while the trees are brighter. It doesn't simply increase the brightness, it balances out the brightness making things easy on your eyes and the scenery to look absolutely gorgeous.

[digital oracle]

That second example is awful.. HDR should introduce more range into the skybox but with HDR on in your example it clips the values. It’s a broken implementation

[red bluff]

It's just the discord compression. click on the image to view it in full size.

[digital oracle]

Either way, it’s a poorly implemented version.. if it was done properly all the range in the darks would be visible with HDR on and it’s still clipping. Right now in lieu of SDR brightness being broken it might be the only way to get some range into the shadows at all, but ultimately the game was never authored with HDR in mind and it’s rarely turned on by anyone on PC because it looks bad. (I have it off on PC for that reason)

[red bluff]

what makes you think it's a poor implementation? it looks absolutely fantastic

this game was specifically tailor fitted to work in HDR environment at least on the PS5. PC version looks all washed out whether HDR turned on or off.

looks ok maybe on monitors, but definitely not on an OLED TV that I'm using.

[digital oracle]

The game wasn’t tailor made for HDR. Absolutely none of the marketing, PC playtests or previews were in HDR. It’s an afterthought, and a bad implementation.

The game wasn’t built with native HDR lighting. It an SDR visual pipeline simply stretched into HDR

Btw, most games have poor HDR implementation, this isn’t unique to WWM

PC does not look washed out at all in SDR if you tweak your brightness

[red bluff]

The pc version has completely different color space and contrast setting than PS5 version. It looks super washed out compared to the PS5 version. I tried hours to match the PS5, but it simply didn't work. That's why I believe the PS5 version is tailored to work wtih HDR TVs.

[digital oracle]

PCs and the PS5 have different colorspaces.. the gamma curve is different. You can’t have spent very long because I replaced my ps5 in the living room with the PC and got it looking the same within 2 minutes

The intense option is pretty much what the ps5 defaults to

They authored and balanced this game for a year in SDR on the PC. Thats the intended look. Console versions, HDR.. all afterthoughts.. and not well done

[red bluff]

I was going to jump to the PC version myself too, because it ran much better, but after hours of tweakings on the brightness and color setting I gave up. The pc version simply look like crap compared to the PS5 in terms of color and brightness. At least on my TV I use 65" Samsung S90D.

[digital oracle]

Im on a 77inch S95F. If you like HDR, that’s cool. But it’s untrue to say it’s the way it was intended to look. It’s def an add on and most people have opted out

You can literally make it look however you want through a combination of the five output settings, brightness tweaks and the 20 settings in your TV. It’s hard to believe you put much effort in there

[red bluff]

I've provided GIF images to show how HDR changes the dark to bright, the bright to dark to bring the balance to overall contrast of image. You're just saying that it's broken not really telling what is

[digital oracle]

Because SDR is currently broke

It’s not a good comparison. But sure, maybe people should turn it on while they await the return of brightness controls

Those darks that are clipping in your first image would be fixed with SDR brightness controls. And it looks more cohesive (and true to the authored content and grade too)

[red bluff]

The brightness option will get you no where, increasing the brightness does make the dark area more visible, but it will also turn night time to look like a day time.

BTW those were just off screen shots, on TV screen everything looks just perfect

[digital oracle]

You realize HDR is also supposed to do that right? HDR if properly implemented will make a very flat image.. it’s not filmic, it’s natural. If you like high contrast that’s what SDR provides

That’s why I’m saying this HDR implementation is broken. It’s SDR content through an HDR pipeline.. that’s why it looks punchy and contrasty. You like it, fine. But it’s not correct, and as such goes against the original art direction and the grade and lighting behind the scenes

[red bluff]

The high contrast is the problem in WWM, it's too bright on one side, while it's too dark to see anything on the other. This extreme contrast makes things uneasy on your eyes and the game looks just broken which will perfectly balance out with the HDR enabled. Make everything look very natural.

[digital oracle]

Anyway, this argument is derailing things. Some will like the hdr implementation regardless of whether it’s correct or not. Others will want to play it the way it was designed and authored. Im the latter. Either way, lets agree both modes need sliders that work

[red bluff]

No this is not a matter of preference, the game just looks broken without the HDR on PS5. It makes your eyes bleed too.

And no, I don't need any slider or modification when HDR is turned on because it just looks perfect.

[digital oracle]

I played 130 hours in SDR on the Pro with balanced settings in SDR and it looked great. I tried HDR and it looked broken and clearly wasn’t authored or graded to HDR colorspace so I turned it off very quickly.

As you are such an advocate I will go back and try it, maybe it’s improved since. I’ll be fair 🙂

[red bluff]

I played about 100 hours without the HDR (it just wasn't available at the launch) and it was really a painful experience. Then I changed the lighting setting from the 'WWM' to 'Bright'. Things were much more visible making it easier on my eyes, but then again it was hard to tell if it's night time because things were too bright. Then it came the HDR option, and now the game looks just perfect. Even when we had the chest delays and various other issues with HDR enabled, I could never give up the HDR because without it, the game was just unplayably bad.

[digital oracle]

Bright was broken. But regular brightness maxed out +4/5 looked fantastic in SDR for me, even at night

These kind of discussions are ultimately pointless because your TV can be doing multiple post process things to the image as well such as contrast adjustments deep in the settings

[red bluff]

I switched back and forth to take those screen shots, and even in those brief moment SDR made my eyes bleed 😂

[digital oracle]

That’s because SDR is currently broken. Nobody is defending it at the moment. The default is unplayable

[red bluff]

SDR was always broken, and HDR fixed it.

[digital oracle]

Nope, +4 or 5 looked amazing

[red bluff]

I tried that too, it will only make things look washed out

'bright'

setting was a better option

With the HDR enabled you notice things that you never noticed before, like how pretty the moon is in the sky.

[digital oracle]

It looks pretty in SDR too. Because everything in this game was authored and graded in SDR.

[red bluff]

just tell me, which sun is prettier? do you really prefer the SDR one that's blended with the clouds? or the HDR one that stands out?

[digital oracle]

You’re sending SDR compressed gifs to try to show HDR imagery, that doesn’t work

Both images are SDR

[red bluff]

technically yes, but it still displays what HDR does to the image.

[digital oracle]

And again, no offense but you clearly aren’t reading what I’ve been saying. It’s not an accurate comparison, you’re comparing a currently broken SDR

If HDR was so important to this game, why isn’t their launch trailer in HDR? Why aren’t official screenshots or media in HDR? Why didn’t they do press builds in HDR?

[red bluff]

and increasing the brightness won't fix fundamentally broken SDR image, only HDR can 😉

That's a very strange logic, if HDR wasn't all that important why would they have it implemented in the first place? 😂

[digital oracle]

Every game does it now. It’s a check box.

But fundamentally you don’t seem to understand what HDR does. In those gifs above - HDR off is more what you should expect with a HDR image - it should bring more range and detail into the clouds, the corona and clouds shouldn’t be clamped like they are in your HDR example, that’s classic SDR behavior. Analysis online has concluded it’s a broken implement , and that’s why I won’t be using it. I’ll end the conversation there. I’m glad you like it

[thick minnow]

HDR actually looks like complete garbage on my TV and when i take pictures it's even worse

Idk why

actually very confused about it

[thick minnow]

everything is too dark.

[digital oracle]

The question is do you want to play a game where everything such as lighting values, shader set up, sky values, exposure, grade and LUT was authored in SDR in the designed SDR mode or do you want to play a version where an HDR pipeline was hastily thrown on later where the outcome is unknown as it wasn’t developed in that environment? It reminds me of the silent hill F HDR implementation which was also thrown on a SDR authored game and it didn’t match the original artistic vision at all

[red bluff]

What you're implying is the HDR on photography which is basically a print on paper, you can't increase the brightness to depict the light. So when you take a photo with strong light source everything else will become too dark losing all the details. So you combine image with low light to add details to the photo. HDR in gaming is exactly the opposite, to depict bright light source it reduces brightness of everything else using HDR tone mapping. But in modern OLED TV with sufficient HDR range you can have both bright and dark in same screen like it is in real world with increased range. HDR increases the range of brightness, with the higher range we can have brighter sun, if you are in low range bright sun and clouds reflecting sunlight can't be differentiated due to the limited range. Same goes for the darkness. With the low range, you can't differentiate too dark and slightly dark all ends up looking too dark.

[digital oracle]

You’ve heard of digital photography right? Who tf refers to photography as a print on paper? Lol

[thick minnow]

Uh, when I can’t see anything on my screen cuz it’s too dark, that’s an issue.

[red bluff]

It seems like you have no idea what you're talking about

[digital oracle]

Nah dude, you’re severely out of your depth and as such I won’t be engaging further.. it’s hurting my head. But good luck to ya

[thick minnow]

Idk why my tv doesn’t work with hdr with this game tbh

It just looks horrible when I turn it on

Though sdr also looks bad right now

[red bluff]

you won't engage any further because you just lack the knowledge to do so 😉

[thick minnow]

Even when I have everything on highest brightness

(I’m just blissfully ignoring this argument)

[digital oracle]

Because it’s a horrible implementation- wasn’t designed for it. Values are all over the place, it’s an SDR pipeline quickly shoved into HDR colorspace and hoping for the best

[red bluff]

hold on lemme take few screen shots so I can help you

[digital oracle]

I suggest if interested to read the article “The HDR Gaming Interview – Veteran Developer Explains Its Sad State and How He’s Coming to Its Rescue” about how barely any games are implemented HDR correctly

[red bluff]

you don't even understand how HDR works in gaming 😂

[red bluff]

Go to this HDR screen and switch back and forth, do you see similar changes seen on this GIF image? If you don't, can you describe exactly what happens when you switch to HDR?

As you can see darker area should get brighter and bright area should be tonned down when you enable HDR

[thick minnow]

So the issue is actually when I am trying to build in guild hall at night or when it’s rainy, the interior becomes basically black

On my tv

And I am unable to see anything at all

[red bluff]

It is completely normal that things are too dark to see when HDR is disabled, but you should be able to see everything when HDR is turned on.

[thick minnow]

No it’s too dark when HDR is enabled

It’s the opposite problem for me

Idk if it’s cuz I have to uncheck some setting on my tv or something

[red bluff]

so on that same settings screen, you see a darker picture when you turn on the HDR? Is that what you're saying?

[short pumice]

Bug: starting percecption forest solo, toggle cross server on. If you close the screen (like you can play again) and go back. The toggle is turned off. Is this a visual bug or not?

[restive tapir]

I hope they fix the brightness and motion sickness settings because oh my god. Going into building mode makes me want to puke after a while. Especially when every time you try to enter building mode inside a house you get stuck in the ceiling or under the floor. So then you're spinning the camera around trying to figure out if you can unstick yourself.

Even just playing the game as usual can make me feel a bit sick after a couple hours. They really need to fix these settings!!! 😭😭😭😭

Come on Devs, I love the game, but you're freaking killing me here. If you need to hire additional staff, or if you need to hire more experienced staff, you've got to do something. 🤢

[digital oracle]

ChatGPTs suggestions on HDR vs SDR currently -

[dense hill]

Gen AI arguments for a conversation… what a time to be alive

[red bluff]

so you can't come up with your own argument that you have to rely on AI. why not just stop talking about things that you don't understand 😂 😂 😂

[red bluff]

It's either too bright or too dark, or both in WWM without the HDR, because the game's default color is in HDR format, converting it to SDR (HDR OFF) will result detail loss in both bright and dark areas because SDR has a smaller color and brightness range leading to highlights getting clipped and shades losing nuance appearing as black blob. It's just not properly converted and the game looks broken without HDR. Even when properly converted (the PC version) it looks washed out when compared to the PS5 HDR enabled. (click on the images to see them on full screen)

[unkempt cedar]

This is incorrect. If the game were natively HDR authored, the SDR path would be derived via proper tone-mapping and would not exhibit random clipping or black blobs.

What you’re describing is the opposite: a broken or incomplete HDR pipeline where HDR output lacks correct PQ and calibration

Analysis of the HDR mode shows lifted blacks, compressed midtones, and early highlight clipping, while SDR with correct gamma (BT.1886) restores contrast and detail. That shows SDR is the reference path..

“Looks brighter” is not the same as correct HDR. Without proper HDR metadata and tone mapping, HDR simply stretches SDR values into a wider container and looks worse, not better.

What we’re seeing is missing PQ tone-mapping and bad metadata, which is why HDR looks washed or clipped. SDR with correct gamma is currently more accurate.

You can’t prove anything about HDR using SDR screenshots or GIFs. GIFs are SDR only, 8-bit, tone-mapped, and stripped of HDR metadata. At that point you’re comparing two SDR conversions, not HDR vs SDR.

Also.. yes, in SDR raising brightness does restore shadow detail because SDR encodes shadows and highlights in the same limited range. If detail were truly “lost,” it wouldn’t reappear when adjusting brightness or gamma, which it does.

In real HDR, shadow and highlight detail are preserved independently via PQ and metadata. That’s exactly what WWM fails to do, which is why its HDR shows lifted blacks and clipped highlights.

[red bluff]

The clipping and black blobs happen in SDR mode not HDR, are you sure you're talking about the PS5 version?

[unkempt cedar]

Brightening a screenshot is not the same as an in-engine brightness/gamma adjustment in the menus. A screenshot is already tone-mapped and flattened to SDR so any lost data is gone forever. In-game brightness works before tone mapping, where shadow detail still exists and can be redistributed. That’s why raising brightness in SDR restores detail, and why screenshot edits prove nothing about HDR behavior.. it’s also why they need to fix the brightness option on consoles.

[red bluff]

What you're saying is exactly the opposite of what's being displayed on screen.

Also it is entirely possible to capture the difference with off screen shots, of course it's not 100% accurate, but that's basically how you can tell in non HDR image or video.

because you don't need the full range capturing mid tone image like this.

[unkempt cedar]

Seems two separate issues are getting mixed together here..

First, SDR on console is currently not a fair comparison - the brightness control is bugged and doesn't reliably save, so SDR defaults to crushed blacks. Brightness controls would remedy that. That's an implementation problem, not an SDR limitation.

Second, even in your own screenshots (scrolling up to the clouds one earlier) the HDR sun shows highlight clipping - the core and surrounding clouds flatten into a uniform hotspot instead of rolling off smoothly. That's not correct HDR behavior, even if it looks punchier.
Asking which sun is "prettier" is a preference question, not a technical one. HDR isn't about making things stand out more - it's about preserving dynamic range without clipping or crushing, and that's exactly where the current HDR implementation struggles.

[red bluff]

And you're correct that increasing the brightness in tone mapping will restore the shade details, but it will also destroy highlights at the same time because you lack the range of HDR.

[unkempt cedar]

If SDR brightness truly had to destroy highlights, every SDR game ever made would be broken, and they aren’t

[red bluff]

the sunset looks prettier because the HDR image creates more natural contrast between the Sun and sky

It's not just about the preference, the sunset on SDR is just not looking natural

And if you believe that SDR can accurately depict HDR scene, why would we even need the HDR in the first place? lol

[unkempt cedar]

These photos kind of prove my point. The “HDR ON” side looks brighter because highlights are being pushed harder not because there’s more detail. In fact, the sun and clouds are more clipped there.

Real HDR would show both a bright sun and cloud detail around it. Here, the bright areas flatten into one color. That’s clipping, not extra range

Also - That photo doesn’t look natural at all.. it’s heavily post processed. A sun that stands out like a sticker isn’t natural, it’s clipped

[red bluff]

The real HDR will make the Sun stand out not blend with the sky

[manic rampart]

how much nit does your tv or monitor has

[unkempt cedar]

Nobody said SDR replaces HDR. The point is that bad HDR is worse than good SDR. HDR isn’t automatically better just because it’s HDR

[unkempt cedar]

No.. true HDR preserves detail and smooth roll off at high brightness. It doesn’t create a hard edged sun separated from the sky. That look comes from clipping, not from correct HDR. But I think we’re arguing aesthetics, not technical details at this point

[red bluff]

And that's precisely what HDR does in WWM, it preserves details as I've shown in many of my comparison shots. People are complaining about the brightness tab being broken because it's too dark to see, and HDR fixes it perfectly. This is not about aesthetics, it's about functionality.

[lyric axle]

I literally still can't play the game after the big update lol, this update truly bricked the game on my PS5.

[unkempt cedar]

Yes, HDR in WWM makes dark scenes easier to see currently because it lifts the image. That’s compensating for a broken SDR brightness control, not evidence of correct HDR.

Making things visible is different to preserving dynamic range. HDR that fixes darkness by lifting blacks and clipping highlights is functioning as a workaround, not as a proper HDR implementation.

[unkempt cedar]

I assume you tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc?

[lyric axle]

Uh yes, it still gives an error

[unkempt cedar]

What’s the error?

[lyric axle]

That I can't update the game due to "no space" but when I resume the update it goes back to the loop of "no space" despite me having a lot of space. I've seen people on other platforms also having the problem.

[red bluff]

what are you talking about HDR fixes the darkness, and fixes the clippings at the same time in WWM.

[unkempt cedar]

From what I know this is a PS5 update bug. Basically it needs space for existing install, space for the new patched build, and extra temporary staging space.

So a 100 GB game can momentarily need 200–250 GB free, even if the final size doesn’t change much.

When this goes wrong, the PS5 gets stuck in a false no space loop.

Best bet would be to rebuild the database (do you know how to do that?), make 250–300GB free, delete partial update data, and install again.

Do you know how much total space you have?

[lyric axle]

I have 2 TB of space left lol, this is the fault of the Devs incompetence with the PS5 version. I couldn't play this game since the 9th and I talked about this before and I even was asked to do a ticket. Just stating here for awareness of this terrible problem.

The fact that I never had a problem for years with game is funny really, WWM is the only game that ever gave me a problem after a big update.

[unkempt cedar]

That’s external storage right?

[lyric axle]

Yes external and yes I downloaded it internally after again, literally no difference just the game being poorly optimized for PS5. I uninstalled yet again and redownloaded it for the 3rd time on External, nothing changed.

At this rate I'm just gonna quit the game after pouring 200+ hours and some money, it's a waste of time

[unkempt cedar]

PS5 still stages updates internally regardless of additional storage and WWM’s update trips that system

I get why you’re done but if you haven’t tried the database thing yet it could fix this specific loop. Reinstalling doesn’t clear the PS5’s corrupted patch index.

Try a full Rebuild Database from safe mode. It doesn’t delete anything and it’s the step that fixes stuck “no space” / update loops. A lot of people only get unstuck after that. If it still fails after that, then yeah it’s truly busted.

If you do this, after database rebuild, make sure 300+ GB is free on internal

[lyric axle]

Obviously I did rebuild database which was a waste of time lol, like I said, the game is totally bricked on my PS5. Still waiting to see news about it but nothing. I rather get actual information from the Devs on how to fix this problem.

[unkempt cedar]

Cool

[red bluff]

man that sounds just terrible, it makes me feel glad that it at least works on my ps5 😂

If it was any other game, I'd have quitted long ago 😩

[unkempt cedar]

That quest was so buggy - but I managed to fix those errors above

I was not going to play it looking like that

[red bluff]

I too know how to fix it, just restart the game 😩

[unkempt cedar]

Just a restart quest should do, will fix it mid level. But yes, extremely sloppy - this quest was full of bugs. Interestingly not console related though, which might mean it gets fixed for once

[red bluff]

Did like the story though, only if it ran without all the bugs 😭

[unkempt cedar]

Yeah, it’s the same on all platforms. I liked the story too, shame they released it in that state

[cold jetty]

Action buttons vanished

[dense hill]

In case you didn’t notice the devs are not visiting this thread, it’s just players.

[lyric axle]

I know, it's for people who also have the problem to hopefully put in tickets as well, really hope the Devs become aware of the problem

[cerulean star]

Hello. I’m having a problem in my account and I am not sure if it’s just me or there are some players too.
I can’t reach my profile page in the game at all. I tried every way I could think of, restart the game, re-install the game, entering the profile from different places other than the option menu and all had the same result, black page with nothing but my ID down on the left.
It’s been almost 2 weeks, since the last update. Please help me out because I’m really getting frustrated with it.

Ah and also I play from PS5, and sometimes Ipad. The problem is in both.

[west sonnet]

i've been having the same issue. Don't know what to do

[unreal oyster]

Sup guys, just to let y'all know. The 1.2 update costs a lot of issues mainly on ports like PS5 and mobile and uhh yea. Maybe some players have the same issue or dont

[tawdry valley]

Hey guys! Wondering if anyone has run into the bug where your game freezes when you click the open mic button in Windtail on PS5! You can still speak in VC and hear others while your game is frozen but it will remain that way until you close the game.

I’m a guild leader, so that automatically makes me the Windtail Host. I speculate that that has something to do with it. When if I’m alone in Windtail it still freezes my game. I can speak freely in teams and groups just not Windtail. This happened after the big 1.2 Update.

[daring cosmos]

Hi, I can't buy battle pass from ps5. It won't let me click the button (either elite or premium one). Is there anyone facing this problem

[junior shale]

Since the update I’m getting random crashes after joining multiplayer.

Also the chat is bugged sometimes— cannot move to the messages and convos I want.
Same goes for team, I cannot leave team from the team list on the left side because I cannot interact with the options (add, teleport, leave etc).

And sometimes the game crashes after looking at players’ profiles if the have a video on their card

[west sonnet]

When that happens to me i restore licence

[daring cosmos]

How do we restore license? Can it be partial payment, for example I have funds in ps wallet and then the rest of the fund using paypal

[royal mica]

This has happened to me before but honestly my game will just randomly freeze in the middle of solo mode combat sometimes, or navigating chat.

[royal mica]

Can back you up on the chat thing. It's so annoying . Sometimes I can't scroll down past 3 friends

Anyone have an issue with switching weapons lately? It's not responding to the down buton for me sometimes

[junior shale]

Yeah it’s frustrating. When I try to scroll I have to go back to the menu on the left and try again really slowly, otherwise I can’t get to the channel/convo I want

[frank nova]

The performance in guild arena is sooo bad on ps5

Or anywhere with more than 2 players

[west sonnet]

don't need to pay anything to restore license, just click options on the game and select the option, then get into the game and try if it lets you buy it. You may need to do it a couple times if it does not work the first one

[unkempt cedar]

I just turned on the ps5 - I got another little update and noticed the pedestrian count in Kaifeng has been reduced again.. it feels very empty, basically the same as it did before the latest large patch. Probably a good idea, it seemed strange they’d fill the city with pedestrians when it was already struggling from a performance standpoint. Still no brightness fix however

[tacit belfry]

They are going to tweak those things every update to make the feeling they are doing something

[royal mica]

Another bug that's been bugging me is that I can't like others after the human tower mini game. The cursor just won't move.

Also it's so easy to accidentally click through the likes page for someone who healed you. Meanwhile for raids i have to keep clicking back twice before I can go to continue

[open reef]

[jolly bloom]

Hi, playing Guild Wars on PS5 is torture. Constant FPS drops, texture problems, button issues, and much more. It's almost unplayable.

[tawdry valley]

Ye it’s pretty bad!

[daring cosmos]

Thanks! It works 😆 Just play the game and it redirect me to payment menu.

Does crash in multiplayer mode always so often?

[regal coral]

Good afternoon, I have a question: in 1v1 matches, do mobile players only face other mobile players? Or do they also face console and PC players??

[modern hemlock]

So ps5 crashes constantly, after beat first boss in hero realm it will immediately crash, the music starts to lag after a 10 note streak for the 16 songs you need to do. Guild war is to the point you are fighting the frames more than the players. Even just fighting in guild arena is laggy if theres couple people watching.

[vivid moon]

Has water disappearing when turning on raytracing on ps5 been mentioned or addressed?

[tardy terrace]

Nope

[torpid echo]

I’ve experienced major FPS drop during guild war as well when using PS5, still figuring out how to fix it

[worldly gale]

Please let me know if you find a solution ! Thanks

[dense briar]

Was looking for this setting. How's it so far?

[shrewd dagger]

Still broken

[dense briar]

Lord, when anything workjng properly when released on the PS5 😑

[dense briar]

Where is this? Can't find in the menu...

[shrewd dagger]

edit custom layout

[dense briar]

OMG..! They ain't making it easy for us...but thank you.

Broken...

[shell crater]

I’m not able to login my game with PS5 now, it keep showing error, anyone experienced the same?

[restive tapir]

Voice typing was broken again for me. Was working great until some point in the last 20 hours.

[dense briar]

New features break old working ones...🤣

[glass wasp]

the memory problem?

my wife has the same problem and the internet says you gotta reinstall the game absoluetelly horror

[somber mango]

Been experiencing issues with scenarios...keeps messing up the positions of the characters... Pretty stressful when you want to make your profile look cool

[feral summit]

Major issues with game crashes, trials having delay between gold / regular attacks, fps drops mid arena / freezing ect ect

[pale socket]

Can’t buy the Elite battle pass on ps5?

[pastel mantle]

Me, last night the game cant install 2mb and wants me to remove storage first while i got 100gb free space, then i uninstalled it n download again, but aint try it yet this morning..

[pastel mantle]

Excatly what my guild leader has been facing since the big update, he can only join vc in team, but got bug freeze in windtail

[tardy terrace]

Scenarios are still broken across all platforms

[grizzled karma]

my ps5 slim crashed 4 times in just an hour. wow.

[modern hemlock]

Yeah ps5 has times it crashes a lot. This update on 8th has made it feel so much worse

[grizzled karma]

ps5 is the most expensive platform to top up yet has the worst optimisation...

[modern hemlock]

I agree, after hearing both other platforms not experiencing all these problems it baffles me. Ps5 is not that weak that even phones play better.

[royal mica]

How do you change the set effect on ps5?

E.g. hawkwing to jadeware

[modern hemlock]

Different gears, you cant just swap set effects

[royal mica]

There is. You have 8 free attempts to change the set effect

[modern hemlock]

Oh my bad then idk how on ps5 then

[royal mica]

Mods won't let me show the image here in the gears tab if you look at the item, there is a 🔄 button next to the set effect that brings up that menu to do the change. Currently I have no idea how to access it

Problem solved you can enable global cursor in the settings. That's the only way to mouse over to switch the set effect

But another issue cropped up. It left a permanent blue pixel on the display

It's actually absurd that we're not allowed to upload pictures as proof.

[daring cosmos]

For my case, I restart my ps5 and can buy the elite BP

[west sonnet]

try closing the game, options and restore license. The log in to the game again and try. That works for me every time that happens

[pastel mantle]

Turn it off again to get rid of d blue dot 🤣

[royal mica]

Yeah that worked

Right does anyone's custom team scenario keep resetting to the default character poses?wanna know if this is a ps5 exclusive issue

[tawdry valley]

It’s a huge problem rn and it’s affecting only a handful of people ie guild leaders, hopefully they fix it soon, we’ve been using discord in the meantime.

[pastel mantle]

Have u tried re installing the game on ps5 ? Delete n install from beginning

[tawdry valley]

I’ve tried it all, renewing licenses, clear both caches, and removing every downloadable language other than the default…

[tawdry valley]

Did your guild leader find a fix!

[pastel mantle]

i fix my own bug with reinstalling, n thought maybe it will fix his problem too, but aint yet telling him to do it

[tawdry valley]

Ye it’s a shame… there’s a SOOO many bugs on PS5

[pastel mantle]

Then we cant do anything other than jope for update fix

[tawdry valley]

Im just reposting st this point to make people aware and hopefully the devs are aware!

[pastel mantle]

Report it in game too as bug

[tawdry valley]

First thing I did!

[pastel mantle]

Hve u tried to gv ur role as leader to ur vice leader ? Cuz maybe the problem is the GL is windtail Host

[tawdry valley]

I’ll try it today and let you know!!

[pale light]

Same issue here, togheter with ui disappearing midfight and suddenly reappearing (no immersive layout input from me)

[short pumice]

Last update or the update before ruined my whole camera (settings). Now the settings for camera is weird. Is this a bug or something else? Also the auto-lock 1v1 and for bosses doesn’t work properly

[frozen prawn]

Game stuck at 91%
Not sure what's going on
Even repair client didn't work

[pastel mantle]

i've been there bro, said not enough space to install 2mb files only so repair keep error state, i try reinstalling from scratch n it works 👍🏻

[shrewd dagger]

I think they just fixed it try it

[wooden garnet]

brightness and motion sickness settings fixed 😊 super happy, i can apply bright mode and adjust the brightness again, so im able to play without being sick again haha. thank goodness

[dense hill]

My biggest gripe tbh that they somehow made battle pass navigation x10 times worse on controller
I thought it was so bad before, how wrong I was, I will be happy to get it back now. There is really no limit of getting controller navigation design messed up, it seems

[daring cosmos]

Did the game updated today?

[wooden garnet]

im not sure if it was a small patch or not or when it changed, i haven't been on in a few days. but the bright mode works and the brightness can be adjusted again so im very happy

[grizzled karma]

i dont mind the navigation designs n stuffs until they fix their optimization n crashes

[feral summit]

Every single time I leave a co-op with one of my friends or a bounty / healers bounty, my game crashes

[manic rampart]

damn i thought i was the only one

i had to turn on camera lock by myself for some boss

despite turning on auto camera on the setting

[royal mica]

Touch pad works now right errbody

Because I keep accidentally clicking it

[feral summit]

Trust me that update bugged out about a million and 1 things

[feral summit]

It shouldn’t be a thing

Why have 2 functions for the touchpad

It’s unnecessary

[royal mica]

Should check if there is a way to disable it

But this is gonna interfere with my experience big time

[manic rampart]

how did you trigger the new one?

i got it by accident sometime

[royal mica]

My game has crashed a number of times around blessed cultivation online mode

[daring cosmos]

Mine in every multiplayer mode 😭 it's worse than before update

[jolly bloom]

PS5 needs an optimization update ASAP. How can the game run so well on PC but be a disaster on console?

[unkempt cedar]

Completely different architectures - most games are built with console architecture in mind even though they develop on PC. This was designed solely as a PC game and now they are trying to retroactively fit it into consoles

[storm pivot]

Infinite crash all over PS5, they cnt even fix it. They just focus on pc and mobile

[storm pivot]

In shop, in draw, every after perception forest match. And every single time every 20 minutes

[unkempt cedar]

Guys this is a pretty good update!

• Kaifeng is running the best I have ever seen it (they’ve also removed almost all the NPCs walking around 😂)

• Brightness controls are back! No more crushed shadows and lack of detail

• Raytraced reflections work again - you can turn it on and the water is back in Kaifeng (hits FPS a bit)

For anyone with constant crashes - I was having the same and a full uninstall and reinstalled (and rebuild cache) fixed it. It hasn’t crashed since for me at least

[feral summit]

They removed all the useful settings

No setting to turn off the touchpad “touch” feature and then the exact same problem with the skill wheel

I hate having it stuck on the advanced version

Having to hold trigger then click a dpad while trying to parry cancel

[feral summit]

You just hold your finger on the pad

Without clicking it

[tacit belfry]

1.0 was the best performing version on my PS5 Pro, just tested this version because your comment, but performance sucks

[unkempt cedar]

Kaifeng never ran this smooth in 1.0, in fact half the city was missing and didn’t draw at all. It was literally unplayable in 1.0 - not sure what you are talking about

[tacit belfry]

You are describing 1.1 with the massive downgrade

[unkempt cedar]

No. Kaifeng in 1.0 was a colossal mess, it didn’t actually run

1.1 at least got it to run, without entire buildings being missing but still had huge issues with flight

1.2 is the best it’s ever performed

[tacit belfry]

Kaifeng was in VRR range on 1.0, now its always below 48fps

[unkempt cedar]

VRR just masks frame pacing issues above 48fps, it doesn’t fix missing geometry or broken world streaming

In 1.0 Kaifeng wasn’t “running well” - large parts of the city simply weren’t drawing, huge empty holes in the world and missing pedestrians. Of course that reduced load and artificially kept fps in VRR range

1.1 and later actually stream the city correctly, which is heavier and exposes performance limits.

Being “in VRR range” isn’t the same thing as the city actually rendering properly

You guys are hilarious - during 1.0 all the posts were about huge empty holes in the map, people getting stuck inside rooftops because buildings drew too late, blurry textures which resolved way too late because of streaming issues.

And now when that’s finally fixed, it’s “1.0 was great!!!” SMH

Also, at no point was Kaifeng ever running at 48fps + constantly. More powerful PCs struggle there, and Kaifeng is clearly CPU and streaming limited

[tacit belfry]

1.0 was pretty bad on PS5 but much better on Pro

Now its running at 40fps at max

[unkempt cedar]

I played on Pro and pretty much gave up once I reached Kaifeng on 1.0

It was a total mess

[tacit belfry]

It’s now

[unkempt cedar]

It’s better in every way now

Factually

For the folks following this thread - be aware the last couple of updates have defaulted the PS5 camera to “wide” for some reason. I recommend putting it back to normal

www.reddit com/r/wherewindsmeet_/s/IWDgumZ7uI

A reminder of how bad Kaifeng ran in 1.0 for those with short memories ^

[tardy terrace]

Brightness finally works again, so for everyone who gave up checking to see if its fixed, it finally is.

[unkempt cedar]

Yep, brightness and RT reflections fixed among other things

[tardy terrace]

Not gonna lie it... feels like the game runs better too, haven't really stress tested it but historically the murong fight ran like absolute *** but it plays very smoothly now.

Dancing lion would be the true litmus test but I have no desire to deal with that

Still generally terrible in open world but seems at least a few trials run closer to what they ought to

[unkempt cedar]

For me personally this is the most stable I’ve seen it running so far on ps5

[modern hemlock]

I disagree after the 8th update I crashed considerably more than before

[unkempt cedar]

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled lately and rebuild cache / cleared database on your ps5?

[modern hemlock]

Yeah its just been a mess ever since that update came

Pvp is 10x more annoying especially twin blades I keep phasing through people if theres a few watching in my guild arena, guild war I wont even talk about that mess on ps5

[unkempt cedar]

Yeah I never do PVP so probably why it never crashes for me

[unreal oyster]

Haptics is gone?

[manic rampart]

first time i crash in kaifeng gameplay

not touching menu or anything

[pastel mantle]

Bro we solve the problem by doing it, the bug is there with guild leader as windtail Host on ps5, so we make our vice leader who is on PC to be leader/windtail host, then our guild leader not having freeze anymore while joining windtail as a vice leader or just a member.. But the bug still there for ps5 player 😅

[thin canopy]

Good news. We still need a serious fix for the framerate in Kaifeng. Literally stopped playing because of how it is rn

[tawdry valley]

Heard!!! I’m glad y’all were able to do it!

[tawdry valley]

Another question can your PS5 guild leader edit the Guild Announcement in guild chat?? Might just need my Vice who is on PC to right it out!

[simple juniper]

The game was so much better before the big updates. All kind of bugs I never experienced before is afflicting me now:

• Can't play the harp anymore. Super laggy and screen shakes like it's trying to attack me
• Tuning your weapons has a chance of you getting stuck on the result screen. Unable to back out
• Outfit/Status/Profile screen instantly heat overload the console. I can hear the fan going crazy
  😩😫😩

[modern hemlock]

I reported the harp thing like 2 weeks ago never got response its 10 combo is what causes it

[tardy terrace]

your fan should be doing less on those screens. You might want to check and see if the vents are unobstructed.

[mint dagger]

game keeps crashing during the Twin Lions fight on PS5, Sorrow of Mortalbound

[simple juniper]

That's the thing. My fans are dead quiet during all gameplay. But as soon as I enter either of those 3 screens, it suddenly goes crazy and get very loud. Then heat warning

[hidden spindle]

For me a major issue causing crashes of game happens when I exit other people's co-ops & return to my world.

Same crashes occur even with joining said groups (Mirage boats, etc.) after some time playing solo.

[unreal oyster]

Got a crash when participating guild breaking army while sm1 in server

[winged marsh]

I'm crashing on the new area, keeps resetting my graphics tuning, I'm also on AMD, I've never had any issues before and its just worse since NMW, I hope they optimize this

[stark valley]

hi! has anyone had this problem on the fishing mini game where you can't fish? like, i cant throw the fishing rod no matter how many times i press the circle, what can i do?

[short pumice]

Do you have the rod equipped and also got the bait? It worked for me otherwise restart the game and or ps5

[stark valley]

i do, and i restart the game everytime but it wont work

[shrewd dagger]

wait wdym exactly? to throw a rod you need to hold down square

[copper narwhal]

I swear the performance in kaifeng is actual trash

The stuttering is so annoying

[modern hemlock]

Guild war still completely unplayable in groups

[copper narwhal]

Anyone else get really low quality textures during cutscenes and gameplay

[broken crane]

Insanely bad lag in guild war, seriously impossible to properly play. Cant move, dont see enemies, skills dont work, 1 frame per 2 minutes, stuttering and crashing out of the game at the end of each guild war session

[snow anchor]

the amount of times ive crashed today is dumb bruh

[royal mica]

My game has started crashing during guild war

[celest lily]

Hi can somebody help? On my device (redmagic 11 pro) the tutorial/preview videos just don't play but black screen

[royal mica]

This is ps5

[feral summit]

This is for ps5 issues

[mental inlet]

Is it just me or am I the only one who cannot log in on PS5? It only says start but there is no Resume.

[tidal turtle]

Why does the login take so long on the PS5?

[mental inlet]

How long? I’ve waited 5 minutes and I still couldn’t log in.

[jolly bloom]

We don't know, what we do know is that this is just one more of the millions of problems that the PS5 game has.

[tidal turtle]

Yes, me too, and it's been happening for a few days now.

[tidal turtle]

You could have saved yourself the comment and you're doing nothing to solve the problem.

[jolly bloom]

I almost gave up on playing the game because of these and other problems; the guild war, which I really enjoy, is garbage on the PS5... almost unplayable.

[tidal turtle]

das ist scheisse, ich hab auch bald keine lust mehr.

hatte immer ein Elite Pass aber ich geb kein cent mehr aus, da es nicht spielbar ist

[mental inlet]

You know what’s funny? On iPad it works just fine.

[fathom lintel]

Did they fix mouse and keyboard support?

[tidal turtle]

ja ich weiss, die sind unfähig eine anständige Ps5 version zu machen

[modern hemlock]

Daily reminder that guild war is 1 fps

[scenic thistle]

When are they going to fix the crashing? It’s ridiculous!

Also navigating the chat/social hub is inconsistent, cursor gets lost or refuses to scroll/move same issues that has been plaguing the gallery since launch!

[tacit belfry]

I'm pretty sure the crashes in this game is not because they have bugs, it's because they are memory constrained because the poor port, and it's probably the same reason the game performance is so bad

so fixing crashes means they should fix their engine first

so probably, they will nerf graphics again, so its cheaper

[copper narwhal]

Rlly hope they fix the console port soon cuz the ps1 textures, back to bsck crashes, insane pop in during cutscenes and the framerate hardly every reaching 60 and mostly in the 30s and 40s is really starting to annoy me

[visual charm]

that would be so cool if Sony made a PS6 on ARM like the early rumors said and WWM would run better on that than on PC since their engine is mobile-first (so ARM) 🤣

personally tho I see a chance in PS optimization in the Messiah engine, since the chinese dev games got a lot of hype last few times in the west and Netease is big

[storm dagger]

You can also press the option button multiple times fast, finally triggers the correct behavior

[snow field]

you see how many optionstto turn down different graphical effects there are on pc and cell phone? We need that for gvg. But in general everything stated here about the gameplay on ps5 (im on pro, but they both are horrible, I have a ps5 too reguar).

Im going to asume youre like me and every day at reset you experience MORE crashes. Right? How about on SUnday at reset time? Or any time thre content dropped?

I have fiber optic and my internet is currently way more than ps5 pro can handle (2 gb ps5 pro only can goup to 1gb) But it's not that its the servr support or as people are sayin gthe ports we are using (I think im not tech genius)

If I go pvp or start experiencing crashes I turn off my weapon effects (you know the ones you buy with harmonic cores) and upgrade with $at least a couple hundred in those stones... I turn off any outfit/accessory efects. ANd this is stuff i sank thousands into I know 🐳 and i cant even enjoy it.

The logicals olution would be to hav saved or save that money and rebuild my gaming pc (a new one) but im nice and my fiance works from home so shes using my adjustible gamin desk and dual gaming monitors for stuff she dosnt ned lol

IS it too much to ask to support ps5 players? We are the most neglected here. Ps5 doesnt even feature WWM - they did Genshin IMpact. I just hope they do what they need to do because its already hard enough that any tutorials online - as well as othrs players - think youre on mouse and keyboard (which i use, but it's not an optimal setup... whatsoever)

Does anyone know and cans how some confirmation of them working at this?

heres an example on this server of instructions to pc players not PS5 #🎁game-account-binding message

Obviously thres much worse and confusing stuff than this, just an example What if it were instructions for ps5players and not PC. THey would be like wtf?

[tacit belfry]

Just reinstalled the game, and I feel the camera super heavy with some delay, similar to Wukong with frame gen

It’s happening for someone here too?

[feral summit]

usually happens with big updates but its been ongoing for a while since the big update, it'll be fixed at some point

[unkempt cedar]

Pedestrian density got fixed with the latest update on ps5

[storm pivot]

“Pre Key is wrong or expired “ error on PS5

What is wrong with this cant open the game

[unreal oyster]

Got the same , prob try restarting game and PS5 and try

[manic rampart]

i've never crashed in a single game i've played until this lol

[cloud spade]

Experienced multiple crashes since start playing WWM at PS5 , most of the time when multiplayer mode and online mode

[broken crane]

Crash completely out of the game after lion boss EVERY single time without fail

[icy gate]

I wonder when the controller audio toggle will be fixed

[daring cosmos]

crash many times when in mistveil city dungeon 😭

[digital copper]

So on PlayStation, it takes forever to log in. Sometimes 5-10 minutes. No problem at all on other devices, PC or iPad, but not on PlayStation.

[distant pivot]

Yesterday the game crashed a lot , I wasn't able to play multiplayer and it took a very long time to get back into the game And yet it still failed, it said unable to join server, try again later

[distant pivot]

Yeah you're totally right we the PS5 gamers are being left behind

[distant pivot]

We don't even have a PS5 chat on the server 😂

[cloud spade]

Just now i cannot login to the game from my PS5 , was still able to play untill 21pm then i take some rest , then two hours later at 23pm when i try to play again cannot login

The message said not enough space at my PS5

I dont understand why suddenly had message like that

The message said need at least 80 giga storage to play and update but in fact i still have 200 giga storage available

The funny thing is that still can play till 21pm then later cannot play no more at 23pm because not enough storage lol

[thin canopy]

Stopped playing because of the current lack of optimization and communication from the Devs. Hopefully can play this game again at some point after they've fixed the PS5 version. Otherwise this journey is over for me

[snow field]

they really need to acknowledge and tell us if their my plan for ps5 to receive support and brin us up to par with other system

[jolly bloom]

True

[unkempt cedar]

From what I know this is a PS5 update bug. Basically it needs space for existing install, space for the new patched build, and extra temporary staging space.

So a 100 GB game can momentarily need 200–250 GB free, even if the final size doesn’t change much.

When this goes wrong, the PS5 gets stuck in a false no space loop.

Best bet would be to rebuild the database, make 250–300GB free, delete partial update data, and install again.

(You also cant use external storage for updates)

[tidal turtle]

I've already done that and nothing changed. Logging in takes forever, and it's always easy to blame the console.
It feels like one bug gets fixed on the PlayStation, and it feels like ten new bugs have appeared!

[muted summit]

I noticed that when I’m in combat and I’m spamming my light attack buttons, the character isn’t registering it and is just standing there while I’m beating down my attack button. Is this a latency issue, bug, or a me issue?

[tardy terrace]

I'm gonna be real honest with y'all.

The game is never going to be in a good state.

There's always going to be issues like this. The game has had months to settle and yet every update they break the game again in new ways.

It's been nearly a month and scenarios are still broken.

If youre enjoying the game, enjoy it, but if you're constantly finding frustration, just quit. It is never going to get better.

[tardy terrace]

Did the game reset or change your control scheme?

[muted summit]

No game reset, I don’t think I’ve changed it, but will look it over again.

[muted summit]

No control schemes changed either.

[cloud spade]

Thanks for the advice , i uninstalled the game already last night and installed back but not yet try the result , i also made 250 giga space available as u advised , i will update later the result

[snow field]

i reinstalled yesterday since sunday reset added content and had a lot of crashes (the norm) today after reset im crashing tryin to coop or leave coop (im selling for commerce coins) i dont get it.

i rebuild database, clear case, repair storage, power cycle modem, etc before i report a complaint

[cloud spade]

Omg , sorry about this happened to u also , i think WWM needs to take action to rectify all the problems happened to WWM PS5 very soon , too much problems already

[cloud spade]

U reported complain by email ? Any reply from them ?

[cloud spade]

Update : i can login now , after uninstalled and reinstalled the game , and also after made 250 giga free space at my ps5

[cloud spade]

Thanks again for the inputs 👍🏻

[tardy terrace]

If you have an issue where it needs more space, the easy fix if you have decent download speed is to just uninstall and reinstall. This avoids the update process entirely.

They coded their updates stupidly, thats all there is to it.

[tidal turtle]

Who are you, a developer?

[tardy terrace]

You can hold your breath if you want, but you'll end up disappointed.

The game on ps5 is never going to be in a good state. The game is still a mess on PC.

Even things that the game values as features are still broken nearing a month now after having been broken after the last update.

An update BTW which frontloaded the entirety of the Chinese client into ours.

If they didn't run any QA on this first portion they drip fed, just how well do you think future drips will go? None of it was tested.

The odds are every new thing we get will be mired with bugs and increased instability.

It took them THREE WEEKS to fix the ability of console users to tweak their brightness settings.

This is the sort of dev at the helm. Critical features, major front facing aspects of the game still buggy or broken.

Performance is sure to take a nose dive with every new area we get as none of it has been actively play tested.

We aren't receiving content at a pace that would justify the sorry state of the game. If we were already at parity with China it might be excusable.

You're welcome to hope but it's not going to be validated, not with this game. This was too ambitious a project for a first time studio.

Maybe if it were JUST mobile/pc or something.

Keep logging in just to see what new amusing way they somehow managed to break things, but this game is never going to run well on console.

They can't even figure out how to let people reliably make purchases. Just basic no brainer type crap, yet an unsolvable mystery for these guys.

That and the whole time, they've kept you in the dark. They haven't responded. You don't know what they know is broken, what theyre working on, or what if anything has been fixed.

I couldn't say who is to blame for any of it, but this is basic stuff even one man teams know to prioritize.

Something tells me this is a "rookie dev studio" sourced issue.

[simple juniper]

Accepting Mirage Boat rewards now crashes the ps5. Dunno if global or isolated case, but that's the 2nd times it happens.

[distant pivot]

So basically the game in PS5 is a mess?

[tardy terrace]

Absolutely, and I wager it'll always be.

It's a live service game so there will never be an end to updates, and they have a 100% success rate at breaking the game with every patch

They seem to have absolutely no QA staff to speak of. Zero.

[distant pivot]

I mean I'm aware of the fact that is an ongoing live service and it can have some issues now and then and that's fine, but Ps5 players we have it worse than other devices , and yes I agree about the QA

[tardy terrace]

It's not going to get better. This is their first time actually developing anything, and it's clear no one's worked on consoles before.

Not a promising mix. I'd suggest swapping to a different platform if you truly want to enjoy the game, albeit it's still buggy and broken on all platforms so it's mostly a "crashes less" situation

[thin canopy]

I'm stuck in the Friends tab of the social menu now.. can't get out. It's getting ridiculous.. and not a single admin or dev says "we're working on it", which is all I'd like to hear at this point. F*** this. Deinstalling

[royal mica]

Isn't marvel rivals also on ps5 and developed by net ease?

Never played it but my ps5 friends never complained

[tardy terrace]

This is merely published by netease

The actual dev teams never worked on anything else

[royal mica]

I see

[tacit belfry]

Marvel rivals is a game focused on west market and co developed with a west studio.

Surely they would focus on consoles having good performance in Marvel Rivals

This game looks like a deal between Sony and Netease to port the game ( no way they would make a exclusive RT mode even PC don’t have with no deal)

The reason the port suck

[restive tapir]

On PS5 - The cursor has been getting stuck in the SORT ICON (bottom left of screen) part of the outfit DYE menu for me. I don't even know how I'm accidentally selecting it, but once I do, it won't let me out unless I select a sorting option and apply or exit the game and reopen it.

A couple nights ago I was pushing buttons to try to get out of it and accidentally used a 10 premium outfit dye when I hit Square. 😢

The developers really need to prioritize getting Development/Programming, Quality Assurance, and Super Testers in here who know what they're doing on PS5 to fix stuff before more players keep leaving.

For a first console game it's visually stunning and impressive, but it needs a lot of work on the stuff we can't see. I would much rather they slow down updates and actually fix things before moving forward at this rate trying to catch us up to China's version.

[thick minnow]

GUILD WAR: R2 + dpad left pulls up commander menu and makes it impossible to use the mystic skill. No way to remap this specific commander menu issue. (Don’t tell me to remap mystics. I already have 2 months of muscle memory.)

practice dummy: same issue, but can manually hit touchpad to deselect. Not a great user experience.

[restive tapir]

Still one of my favorite games ever but it definitely needs some SERIOUS work on stabily, lag, cursor mapping? Infinite scrolling, crashes.

I don't even know what to call all the menu/cursor problems. Maybe it would be better if they had more pop up menus.

Right now I'm just really happy that they fixed the brightness and motion sickness stuff because that was a rough 7-10 days 😭

[restive tapir]

I also noticed that. So when you're planning your Mystic skills you're taking 7 of them into guild war, instead of the usual 8. Don't put anything on the Left D-pad slot that you want to actually use because that button configuration is in use. The devs need to assign something else.

[thick minnow]

Yeah uh. That’s a massive issue as I do need all my mystics. It’s been tough not being able to poet into or after dragon breath

Cuz I need the AOE attacks as well

Been horrible running with 7

And if it’s not losing poet, then it’s losing something else like toad (which is not ok cuz that one is aoe lol)

[restive tapir]

Yes. At least small consolation is knowing that the other team can't use all 8 either. Just sucks when you have to move stuff around and get used to activating different buttons for the same skills you would normally use.

I would just try to avoid using Left D-pad for priority skills during regular exploration, to kind of reprogram yourself away from using it until they fix it. 😓

[thick minnow]

🫠 PvP sparring though

[restive tapir]

I don't think I've ever done PvP in this game. Other than once in Perception Forest. lol 🙃

I've been meaning to try it more so I can help in guild war, but most of my guild is Oceania so Guild wars are in the middle of the night.

[unkempt cedar]

Glad it helped! 🤝

[unkempt cedar]

Utter hyperbole. It’s not buggy or broken on PC. I’ve experienced absolutely zero bugs or crashes on there

[modern hemlock]

I crash probably 4-5 times a day, lag is unbearable in guild war, I had a bug yesterday where I clipped through a building in perception forest by just jumping towards the roof. Ps5 has so many staggering problems that it is to point a lot of guilds are not even inviting Playstation players anymore cause we lag so bad and crash a lot.

[thick minnow]

Oh my god the gvg lag. Not being able to see goose. Not being able to lock on or target enemies. Clipping straight through enemies. Invisible enemies

I’m NA east coast too!

It’s just PS5 can’t keep up with it even on performance mode

[vast umbra]

I believe the gvg lag is across different platforms.
Since this newest update my ps5 would crash like 3 times a day

[feral summit]

its on all platforms

[tardy terrace]

Sure bud

[modern hemlock]

Game does feel little smoother in my guild arena we shall see when guild war comes around

[royal mica]

In the latest devlog ps5 optimizations were mentiond

[modern hemlock]

Yeah I know I am hoping it gets fixed more and more cause it felt terrible before

[tardy terrace]

Maybe one day. For now its just frustrating

[manic rampart]

i dont know why getting 60 fps is hard for them to do it

[royal mica]

No mention of the fix for crashing after twin lions

[thin canopy]

Do you have a link? I'm desperate for any news on PS5 optimizations

[royal mica]

#game-announcement message

[royal mica]

Ive been seeing a few pc only guild recruitments 😅

I think half of my hits didn't register in the last guild war I participated in

Could tell because there were no vibrations on the dual sense controller

[thin canopy]

Fixed so far: Framerate drops on PS5? What? Where? It's the same as before?...

[tacit belfry]

[copper narwhal]

Yeah idk wtf they waffling about i only get a stable 60 fps like 10% of the time and the rest it fluctuates between 50 and 25 fps

[thin canopy]

Exactly. Let's not even talk about Kaifeng... That FPS exists in it's own realm, clearly below 30 at all times

[copper narwhal]

I mean the fps is better in some parts of the city than others

Whats rlly pissing me off is the textures that look like they came from a mobile game in the 2000s

If the camera gets close to some models it just looks sooo bad

Which is a shame cuz the game usually lools great

[thin canopy]

True. I still believe it's just lack of optimization and that their engine can easily run locked 60 Frames. Just needs more polishing. Not only the framerate is preventing me from fully enjoying the game, also the pop ups and yeah like you mentioned the low texture quality here and there

[unkempt cedar]

Guys, you need some pretty powerful PC hardware to get it a stable 60fps and above (in Kaifeng)

PS5 GPU is RTX 2060 / RX 6600 territory. PCs with 3070 / 3080/ 4070 struggle at 60fps

That’s 30–70% more raw power than a PS5

It will never reach 60fps on console - that’s a pipe dream

[tacit belfry]

PS5 GPU is performing in every game around 3060ti, no way it’s a 2060 mate, its slightly better than a 2070 super

PS5 Pro is equivalent to a 4070 or 5060ti, and currently those cards are doubling Pro framerate

With higher settings

Also you forget we are not in 60fps tier, the game is dropping at 30fps and lower despite you are using the requirements for 60fps with higher settings and resolution currently PS5 is doing

[unkempt cedar]

Nah. A base ps5 is somewhere between RTX 2060–3060 depending on workload. A PS5 Pro is closer to 3070 Ti-ish in some scenarios, but it’s below a 4070.
It has far less usable memory, shared RAM, lower clocks

Kaifeng isn’t GPU bound, if it was.. then the Pro wouldn’t struggle. Kaifeng is kind of unique because its performance is dominated by CPU + streaming /simulation, not just raw GPU

Also, important note. PCs can use frame generation. PS5 / PS5 Pro do not have true frame generation like PC GPUs (DLSS FG / FSR FG). VRR doesn’t insert frames

I’m using frame generation on my 5080, because Kaifeng still struggles at times. Big difference

[tacit belfry]

You simply don’t know what are you talking about

PS5 is a 3060ti card

Only Raytracing could do the difference

And this game is not even using RT on PC

PS5 is around 5% lower in some games than a 5060ti

And beat a 4070 in other games

You can check the DF comparison they did

PS5 is always defeating 2070 super

Unfortunately they censored the links

You can look for “AMD's Radeon RX 6700 is a ringer for the PS5 GPU - but which is faster?”

[unkempt cedar]

The PS5 is not a 3060 Ti.. there is no credible benchmark data that supports that claim. A 3060 Ti has much higher raster throughput, higher clocks, dedicated VRAM, and significantly more memory bandwidth available exclusively to the GPU

PS5 uses shared memory, lower sustained clocks, and relies heavily on fixed content budgets and platform specific optimisations to hit target

Ray tracing is also not “the only difference.” Even without RT - PC GPUs have higher geometry throughput, higher draw-call budgets, stronger CPUs backing them. PC architecture also has way more flexible memory allocation. That’s why heavy scenes like Kaifeng are CPU + simulation + streaming limited, not GPU-limited.

The claim that PS5 is “5% lower than a 5060 Ti” or “beats a 4070” is simply false lol. There is no scenario where a console-class APU with shared RAM outperforms a 4070-class discrete GPU… esp once you you remve console specific tuning and fixed settings.

As for DF.. When PCs are matched to the same content budgets, consoles look competitive - when PCs are allowed to scale, the gap is obvious.

[tacit belfry]

And read the DF

Mate look for the link I said

You will see how PS5 is performing better than 2070 super and normal 3060

[unkempt cedar]

Read my last comment. If WWM was authored with consoles in mind, it could perform that way, but it wasn’t

[tacit belfry]

That is not my problem

[unkempt cedar]

You have to play to the consoles strengths; and that starts at the authoring stage. This is a straight PC port and it’s designed to take advantage of how PC architecture works

Not consoles

[tacit belfry]

This is a thread for console users

GP with your PC toxicity to other thread

[unkempt cedar]

I’m just trying to lower your expectations

[tacit belfry]

I don’t have expectations because the game is performing worse than a 1660

[tacit belfry]

But you said PS5 is a weak 2060 when defeat 2070 super in most games

[unkempt cedar]

Games authored for consoles during the development process

[tacit belfry]

Who use authored?

Do you even know the language?

Are you using ChatGPT?

[unkempt cedar]

Authored? Pretty standard English term. Do you speak English ?

[tacit belfry]

In this context is not standard

[unkempt cedar]

It’s totally standard. You author content and pipelines for one system or the other.

[tacit belfry]

I have read in ChatGPT and other AI chats

[unkempt cedar]

It’s not my problem you have a limited vocabulary

[tacit belfry]

I know what means, that is not used usually, looks pretty artificial

[unkempt cedar]

What it means* that is not usually used*

[tacit belfry]

You don’t use authored when the term develop exist

[unkempt cedar]

It must be fascinating to live in your world

[tacit belfry]

Anyway, this conversation is useless, you are clearly defending this port, I’m pretty sure you did in the past too

[unkempt cedar]

I’m not, it’s not an ideal port at all

[tacit belfry]

If they don’t “author” the port, they can remove it, remake it or make the micro transactions cheaper

That is not my problem

[unkempt cedar]

If they had developed it with consoles constraints early on, like most games nowadays, it would be much more optimized, but they didn’t. They developed it for the Asian market which is primarily PC. Now they are trying to shoehorn it into consoles after the fact. Realistically, we can’t expect things like 60fps in the future, especially when you need frame generation turned on even on high powered cards like a 5080

[tacit belfry]

You are doing it, you simply defended them using a bad hardware comparison

You literally said a 3060ti was better than a PS5 Pro

[unkempt cedar]

If it’s making you that angry, maybe you should just play another game

[tacit belfry]

I’m doing that

This game is uninstalled

Until they fix, if they do it.

[unkempt cedar]

No I didn’t, try reading. I compared it to a 3070ti

[tacit belfry]

A 3070ti is worse than Pro, but even if you use that card, is doubling the performance in this game,

It’s not a 10-20%

When the performance difference is over 100% in similar machines is a bad port

[unkempt cedar]

I’m telling you Kaifeng drops below 60fps in areas even on a 5080

[tacit belfry]

What resolution and settings?

Do you understand PS5 pro is running low settings?

Some things are even lower than low

[unkempt cedar]

I play it on both the Pro and my 5080. I’m aware of how it looks and plays

[tacit belfry]

I don’t think you are aware

Get similar settings on your 5080

And compare what framerate you are getting

Also what resolution are you using in your 5080?

[unkempt cedar]

The game is scaled to 4k using DLSS

On quality setting, so 1440p

[tacit belfry]

Try to reduce your settings to get similar IQ to pro

Sure you are getting +80fps

Also you are talking about Kaifeng, but even if the first area the game is dropping frames in combats where you are getting +100fps in your PC

[full ginkgo]

Throne and Liberty have better Performance with 5k Player in PvP area as WWM only 60 Player in GvG Wtf

Where comes the WWM Server ? From Temu maybe o.O

[thick minnow]

Everyone send in more tickets regarding frame rate drops & FPS issues.

Though it seems we have to send recordings and screenshots or they won't take us seriously.

[modern hemlock]

How do you screenshot lag?

Maybe if there is tearing only way I can think of but lag would need a video
