Low resolution models in barracks / menus and in game

[rocky spade]

Player character models and the environment appear grainy and low resolution in both the menus and actual game.

Smolensk also seems to run at a very low FPS.

[spice wyvern]

I noticed the same on SMDM, seems to be more exclusive to PS players.

I’ve tried both Xbox and PS with quite a noticeable difference

[pure merlin]

@trim fractal ^ really poor performance across the board.

• Switching weapons horrible
• Grainy picture
• effects every map
• stutter between weapons

For a game with usual crisp graphics it’s woeful

[gilded trellis]

Yes to this

Xbox seems ok tbf

[minor wave]

Feels like they just create a map and don’t even dare to test the Frames on console

[trim fractal]

If we can get any HD images and videos of what is happening

YouTube may be the best way to do this

[minor wave]

Imagine just sprinting:

• FPS Stuttering every damn second

[trim fractal]

Please can you send video of this @minor wave

[pure merlin]

[trim fractal]

What ping are you on? Also PS5 or PS5 Pro?

[velvet ibex]

Every single player is getting this. Its not about the ping.

[pure merlin]

PS5

But tested on Oce 44MS

Same issue man

[teal nexus]

Xbox players reporting clear and crisp experience.

Appears to be exclusive PlayStation issue (tested on PS5 gen1)

It seems like some sort of upscaler

[chrome drift]

It's really hard to capture on video I think
But on ps5 you notice the difference immediately

It's like all maps suddenly became blurry
Can confirm same for me on Omaha and Smolensk and SMDM

[glad garnet]

Carentan, SMDM, Smolensk and Omaha….

[teal nexus]

Just a heads up peepz, Ben is here to help. Try to answer the questions as is, and we can get a hotfix in the works asap

[chrome drift]

I've tried recording some clips, but on those doesn't seem as bad as for a naked eye when you played yesterday and opened the game after the update

[glad garnet]

@trim fractal I have sent you some pictures on private DM as unable too here and both can show clearly the quality issues. Hope it helps

[tranquil stag]

These graphics are mental 😂

How can you even miss this when testing it

[chrome drift]

My guess it was not tested on actual consoles, or like only in a virtual environment or something

Otherwise no clue

[uncut spear]

According to Ben, they have tested it on console and the issue wasn't present then – which is why they're now investigating the issue to make a hotfix ASAP.

[chrome drift]

We are here to help too

If @trim fractal you will need streamed footage, long clips or anything
I and I'm sure others here are happy to help with that

[trim fractal]

I really appreciate that

[tawny nest]

It’s 1 of 3 things

1. AA method - perhaps it was changed from clarity AA to community AA or another form of TAA and the community think it’s blurrier than usual
2. The dynamic resolutions bounds have changed
3. The LOD distances have changed

[trim fractal]

Can i please get a summary of what the issues exactly are that you're having as a lot of people have said a lot of different things.

From my understanding, there is

• Resolution issues for the maps for things further away
• Blurrinesss - is this related to resolution or something different?
• Frame drops - is this all the the time or just sometimes?
• Gun shakes - is this happening in a live enviroment or just in explore? also is it constant?

[chrome drift]

Can't talk for all, but resolution/blurriness seems to be the same issue, especially in motion, and any distance

It's like all the assets on the map become low-res

[split slate]

• Resolution issues for the maps for things further awayBlurrinesss- YES but close too
• is this related to resolution or something different? Frame drops - NO its always no frame drops
• is this all the the time or just sometimes? Gun shakes -always
• is this happening in a live enviroment or just in explore? also is it constant? live and explore

[tawny nest]

I just checked myself and it appears to be an LOD issue, they fade into the lower quality asset after 20-30 metres.

[rocky spade]

The character models on the Home Screen are also blurry. Seems like anything rendered by the game engine is affected - player characters and environment, but NOT UI / menus

[split slate]

The new icons are sharply defined, but everything around them is pixelated.

[true mica]

is there any QA for console or we just go live each time and pray?

[tawny nest]

Yeah it’s just broken LODs. Console players have less experience with PC settings so it’s being described as a ‘resolution issue’. Its LODs

[rocky spade]

Yeah we have historically just got whatever we’re given, rarely does a console game have any LOD options.

[glad garnet]

Not as bad on night but still blurry compared to usual

[split slate]

Infront of the update

After the update

[tranquil stag]

I think these photos and clips don’t do really shows how bad the graphics really are.
Because for some reason if I take a picture the graphics look normal but if go back to the game it is so blurry
@trim fractal

[urban maple]

Yeah it seems to be only when you’re in motion.

[teal nexus]

Is it possible to put together a team of 10-20 veteran console players to assist with future reports/feedback/testing?

This will assist in keeping things clear and concise as possible

[velvet ibex]

Before update (screenshot off a video so might be even lower res)

After update same spot. Can clearly see from the tree branches that they’re lower LOD.

[spark cloak]

It's like 20m render range for the quality graphics and not 200m

[surreal imp]

?

[velvet ibex]

Another nice feature since update 18. Not as bad as this resolution LOD stuff so lets ignore it.

[rocky spade]

It’s definitely not just related to motion - check your character in the barracks.

[spark cloak]

thats the "grenade under turret collision issues" that they patched 😂

[urban maple]

Yeah just did before, and it’s pretty low quality, so it’s LOD issues plus the blurry resolution in general. Gotta love that t17 quality 😏

[tawny nest]

It’s an LOD issue

That much is obvious.

LOD refers to the level of detail distance before a lower quality asset is loaded in

It is possible that the dynamic resolution thresholds and AA method have also changed. Only the developers can confirm that, but it may explain why the image is also softer.

[split slate]

after update can clearly see flying tanks now are replaced by flying cats

[teal nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-space-nyan-cat-gif-22656380

Maybe the res of this cat is closer to the current setup

[trim fractal]

Oh no, cats are going to become the new horse....

[true mica]

you all laugh but this is new commander ability catiusha

[soft epoch]

why not just turn on the ps5 you tested the update on and see firsthand

[torpid agate]

Wow post update your gun looks German now!?!?!?

[long sorrel]

Hell let loose roblox edition

[chrome drift]

Yeah, compare the crisp UI elements with the character model rendering

[tawny nest]

That looks like an incredibly low rendering resolution not just LODs, i am wondering if the dynamic resolution ranges were also changed - ie a reduction in the max resolution

The whole issue reeks of a performance update gone too far, too much culling of LODs and resolution

[remote mica]

It’s like 360p in 2025

[chrome drift]

It's really hard to capture, but I tried,

I think it's very noticeable when you compare the UI elements that arecrisp with the quality of assets rendered close and in the distance

Like here, look at the “Enemy territory” UI and then at everything else

[chrome drift]

It feels like I've taken a still from another game an stocked HLL UI on top in photoshop 😞

[soft iris]

Have they downgraded the graphics?

[chrome drift]

Modern UI. Retro gaming vibe.
I'll be honest it has a certain appeal to it

Like someone already stated, low render after about 20m, the rest is a blur. Gives me actual headaches, as if you need a pair of glasses

[marsh wyvern]

T17 strikes again, what a way to lose a player base

[fallen marsh]

It probably didn't show up in testing.

[brittle zinc]

Was the game updated for the PS5 Pro?

[glacial linden]

@trim fractal is it possible to revert to U18 until the hot fix is in? Game is currently unplayable on ps5.

[chrome drift]

After u18 we know the answer to any revert suggestion already

[fallen marsh]

1. Reverts are not as easy and come with severe disadvantages.
2. From my understanding, there is no real issue aside from poor graphics and low FPS?

[grim junco]

Ah, Mortain post update

[smoky current]

Every update the big fuck-up. They dont test anything.

[fallen marsh]

They do, I can't imagine they don't. Plus, if they didn't, even more would be broken. I assume this issue simply didn't show up for them when they tested.

[brittle zinc]

LMAO that legit looks like MOH hahaha

[smoky current]

After every update game is un-playable so I doubt.

You have to be basically blind not to notice these issues if you would test properly. They rush it and this follows, every time.

[brittle zinc]

But is the hit reg better or worse?

[fallen marsh]

Again, if they didn't test, more would be broken.

And also again, it's not about testing properly, it's about the issues simply not being there when testing. Then when you upload the builds to the platforms where players can download them, the issues show up. That can happen and that definitely is a thing with Unreal Engine 4.

[smoky current]

Are you being payed by T17 😂😂😂

[fallen marsh]

No, I simply know how random as fu ck UE4 can be. I'm not making this up. I'm not saying that DID happen, I'm saying it COULD have happened. And it's definitely a lot more plausible than saying "they don't test at all".

[true mica]

Elise are the chats a matter of UE4???

because 3 out of 5 updates we have issue with coms too..

there is either bad testing or bad development cycle there

[smoky current]

Also servers must be at ue4

[fallen marsh]

I'm not saying that T17 did do good, I'm not saying it's not their fault, I'm not saying they couldn't have done better, I'm not saying every issue is tied to UE4. I'm just saying that there probably is something more to it than just "muh T17 don't test at all".

[smoky current]

What do you even care if you are not on the payroll of t17 😂

[true mica]

i don't know how tough is to do PTR's in console but PTR helps a lot with such issues.

[fallen marsh]

I'm allergic to the same bs of "T17 doesn't test at all, just revert the update already" that's getting spouted every single time; am I not allowed to voice my opinion?

#mess-hall message furthermore, Ben already said this

It kind of hints that the issues is simply not there for them

[smoky current]

And you cant bare other peoples opinion since your allergy? Go f yourself

[fallen marsh]

Of course I can, but I will put up respective arguments if I think my opponent's opinion is wrong or based on nothing. And the claim "T17 doesn't test at all" is based on nothing

It's called having a discussion

[true mica]

i work as a software tester , i know bugs will go through in production pretty much always. the thing is here that you have an almost unplayable game after every update. that's why you either have PTR or you announce that you will always have issues if it's an unreal engine issue.

another problem here is (and i don't blame aa specific employee) that you have half of the console community having easy to spot visual bugs. Anyone on a ps5 pretty much can spt them. Why requesting for bug report and specifics , testing this in production just requires 1 ps5 with the game installed and 5 minutes to see what's going on.

[fallen marsh]

But is it really unplayable on console, tho? Like, what is actually game-breaking aside from the poor graphics and LOD issues?

[true mica]

it's a game that is based on spotting enemies in distance ofc it's unplayable if graphics are poor for half of the people

[fallen marsh]

Ah, right. Fair, didn't consider that. Makes sense. So technically still playable in the way that it runs, but not enjoyable because you can't see enemies anymore.

[smoky current]

So t17 hires trolls to these feedback channels. Nice job t17

[fallen marsh]

Someone having a different (and actually based on facts) opinion than you is not a troll

Also, it would be great if I got paid for this. Unfortunately, I don't.

[tranquil stag]

Elise you don’t play the game. You have no clue what you are talking about. You are just here to yap and argue.
Soo insufferable form the start of U18

[fallen marsh]

Yes, thanks for saying that, but I already know that. It even stands in my About me for this server. So it's not like you're making a point here. lol
Plus, I'm a PC player, so me not playing HLL makes no difference because I'd play on a different platform. Which means that I can very well comment on issues affecting consoles since again, even if I played HLL, I'd play it on PC anyway. :)

[obtuse reef]

exactly what someone getting paid would say

👀

not today, AI bot

[fallen marsh]

I wish 🥲

tailwagthedog retyping the declaration of independence as we sit here lol

[chrome drift]

I see you are not on console, right?

The complain here is not about enjoyment. Smolensk literally gives you a headache after like 30 mins.

Imagine trying to, idk, read in dim lighting through the glasses that you don’t need to wear.

Does the game load? Yes.
It does not make it playable though.

If the basic game mechanic of shooting enemies in a game about shooting enemies is affected by a recent update

Why are you so surprised people take it out on devs?

And the thing about testing on consoles comes up, because it’s hard to believe that breaking of something foundational in game for the whole ps5 player base can be missed on testing.

What you are saying might be right. But again, since it’s not communicated, you get what you get 🤷‍♂️

[chrome drift]

Sorry, I’m a slow typer

[fallen marsh]

Yup, I get that complaint now, don't get me wrong. Prior, I hadn't considered that the poor graphics would also affect spotting enemies.

And I also understand why people are mad at the devs. It's just a little tiring to see "T17 doesn't even test" (not phrases as an assumption but as if it was a fact) and "just revert" over and over again 😄

[true mica]

that's what my boss would say to me if we had such a huge bug going into production. that i didn't test. so don't get mad on people saying t17's does not test.

[fallen marsh]

I also suggested to Ben here that he should highlight the "the graphic issue on consoles did not appear to us when testing" so people learn about it. So far, he didn't react to it. 🤷‍♂️
#mess-hall message

[true mica]

testing is not a random procedure with only trial and error. it involves tools , regressions tests , smoke tests and a whole work automated and not before going to production. things not working on first sight is what you try to catch not weird bugs like flying tanks.

[chrome drift]

I know nothing about qa to claim that they are not testing.

And this update seems much less crazy than u18 apart from this

But again, it’s hard to believe that something of this scale can go unnoticed. It’s not about, you know, floating barrels.

It’s the whole freaking game graphics on one platform going sideways. From the main menu to the actual maps.

You spot the difference immediately. And I don’t know how this scale of a bug could sneak in between going through testing and getting live, but again I don’t know about development processes

[torpid agate]

But the important thing we’re missing here.

Is this true?

Can anyone confirm?

[chrome drift]

And about reverting, I also disagree with the idea of reverting anything, especially now when it’s just one platform affected

[fallen marsh]

Hence my assumption that the issue simply only came up after their testing when they uploaded the game builds to the respective platforms, something which Ben's statement tends to fall in line with

[chrome drift]

Maybe, but I totally understand the frustration

U18 was already too much to handle. Since that I have to rejoin every other game a couple of times due to disconnects.

Our comp games had 3-12 players dcing after map flip, tanks flying and all the stuff

So people myself included were already bit on edge. And it settled down a bit after the hotfixes.

Then we open the game today and it looks, you know, bit hard to play after the update again.

So you know. It’s just not the best timing

[fallen marsh]

Yep, I get that 😄

[rocky spade]

I’m not doubting you - but today for instance they are asking PS5 players to document and prove the issues… like surely they could just switch on their own PS5 running the live game and see what the issue is.

Is it normal for studios to ship an update and then NOT run the live game on all platforms to see if it’s performing well?

Why have we got to be the ones to bring an issue as obvious as this back to the studio?

[ember zealot]

Head of Console QA right now

[modern hazel]

@trim fractal this is a clip to show the frame drop/stickiness this happens on pretty much all of the new maps that come out on console, it gets worse the more players are in an area I noticed.

Example middle cap battles can be unplayable if majority of the lobby all make it there. It becomes hard to shoot and aim at people.

[onyx loom]

Honestly don’t understand why pte can’t be done for console.

But it honestly seems like zero attempt at qc is made whatsoever.

Every update im having to try convince myself that despite what looks like t17 not giving an f about console, they actually do test things and stuff still gets through unnoticed.

Honestly feels like Im having to gaslight myself every update.

[silver raptor]

they are amateurish and lazy

If this game had been bought by whoever owns Squad44... it would have been a huge success and the game would have probably lasted for several more years. Alas... T17 is killing it.

[fallen marsh]

That's the thing, according to Ben, it does not show up for their QAs!
#mess-hall message

[onyx loom]

Hopefully thats not actually true, or else how would they fix it and do a hotfix knowing that the problem is actually resolved.

[fallen marsh]

Why would Ben lie? And they would fix it by gathering information from the players, so literally what they're doing right now.

[clever thistle]

@trim fractal ❤️

[onyx loom]

If when they tested it before releasing the update and it didn’t show up, then whatever they do to resolve the issue they are working blind because they won’t be able to see it. Thats the logic im using…

Basically it looks good to them now, they do the fix, looks good still… so they won’t be able to know until after release just like today

[fallen marsh]

Not if they're able to figure out what's wrong (code-wise), then they can specifically target the issue. That's the thing, you don't just blindly try to fix something, you have to understand first what's causing the issue. And then you fix it. Which is again what they need player feedback for.

[onyx loom]

Watch what will happen, they will do the hot fix and then ask, did that work? Send feedback here…

[fallen marsh]

Again, that's not how fixing works. There's a chance that could happen if they're very unlucky, but again, they first have to figure out what is causing the issue before they can attempt any fixing attempt.

[onyx loom]

I guess they have just been unlucky every update and they have always done everything they could.

How could they have not seen The ps graphics issues if they tested? and if true then they won’t know if they have actually fixed them until the hotfix is live… so for their sake and ours i hope they find a way to actually see if what they are fixing has actually worked before the hitfix

[fallen marsh]

Because. The. Issues. Did. Not. Show. Up. For. Them.

And again, the sensible thing for them to do is not to try blindly fix something they haven't understood, they will try to understand the issue and THEN they will try to fix them. Then they'll probably also see whether they've been successful.

[polar tiger]

Icons, hud, and map are generally clear but gameplay and lobby are not. This enemy must’ve had the same problem cause I killed him first after a few back and forth lmao

[runic sleet]

I play competitively on ps5. I log dozens of hours a week.

This update has made it unplayable. If this is not fixed I am going to move on from this game, and it’s my favorite I’ve ever played.

Please fix this, it’s embarrassing.

[rocky spade]

I find this unbelievable, what’s a convincing reason that the issues happen universally for PlayStations in the wild but the QA team have no issues?

[shrewd garden]

the guy looking at PS5 forgot his glasses?

[sage cosmos]

My guess is that when they say they have tested it on console, it means not PS. one dude in the corner with his xbox 😄

[fallen marsh]

It is hard to believe, but from all that I know (from UE4-based games) is that it can indeed happen.

[vestal steeple]

Has this been hotfixed yet?

[split slate]

Nop, hope they do it infront of the weekend 🙃

[sage cosmos]

or atleast before Christmas. vital for the holidays 😄

[vestal steeple]

That sucks - hoping it happens very soon. It’s unplayable at the moment. Dying to be get back on the battlefield.

[rocky spade]

I don’t doubt it - but this is why I’m confused: we all access the game via the same downloaded files. I don’t suspect there’s a difference in configuration between PlayStations in the same gen (excluding pro for simplicity sake).

So how does one PlayStation produce a difference effect on the product from another if they are running the same game update? I can completely understand it operating differently between consoles, and I’ve seen reports on Reddit that some PlayStation players are fine… I just don’t understand how

[split slate]

I think a big group of players gaming on home tv or bad monitors. I think they just dont see the difference. 👍

[fallen marsh]

I dunno, man. 🤷‍♂️ All we know is that there are apparently differences and that something's broken, something they have to figure out.

[fallen trout]

How about your team actually test the game pal?
Come on, for crying out loud, it's not hard.

[fallen marsh]

They did.

[fallen trout]

And yet with every update there's more new bugs and 'features' that players find in less than a couple of hours.
I just don't understand how some stuff gets missed. 🤦

[fallen marsh]

Neither do I, man, don't get me wrong xD

[onyx loom]

Because they said so

[simple schooner]

I think this is the point, after U18 caused so many issues at a time people where leaving the game anyway for BF and Arc Raiders. It really hit the comp scene hard and arguably (IMO) the comp scene is keeping HLL alive at this point.
If there was any doubt that U19 would cause issues (if you look back at the history on updates in this game surely there was doubt),U19 should have been delayed, it feels like we where just starting to get some stability again and now this.

Has the problem been resolved?

[tranquil stag]

We will have to wait until the devs buy a PS5 to look at the problem, I suppose

no comms atm

[earnest phoenix]

Do you not play the game on console before releasing updates? How are you so unaware of this problem, that so many of us are having, that you’re requesting us.. the players, to send you proof / example of the issue. T17 consistently taking 2 steps forward, 3 steps back.. and relying on the player base to help fix the problems or find workarounds.

[fallen marsh]

Nothing, unfortunately. :( And transparent in what way :D

[ember zealot]

If the past is anything to go on, fixes for the likes of this usually take minimum a week or two. 💀

[coarse parcel]

On PS and having the same issues no matter which map. Mainly ran recon tonight and even scoped it is near impossible to see guys 250M+. No ping issues

[worthy kindle]

It’s weird. When i steady aim it goes away

[worthy kindle]

@trim fractal has there been any updates with this issue?

[flat dawn]

I really don't know what the developers were thinking with the German skins. Especially the one with the vest. To me, that's a winter uniform, not a summer one. The other uniforms really do look good, especially the Soviet ones with the leaf camouflage. The swamp camouflage for the artillery looks good, but I would prefer to see this camouflage for the infantry.But yes, the performance is truly pathetic, unfortunately.Furthermore, I don't understand why the new SPAs were introduced, because they don't break the arty recon loop, but rather reinforce it.

[inner arrow]

Adding a plus 1 to the OP. It’s unbearable on PlayStation. Like someone’s rubbed Vaseline in my eyes. Every time I try to record it the recording comes out pretty normal 🤔

Had to try and take it with my phone but my phone auto adjusted it 😭

[ember zealot]

Should we take bets on the patch to fix this? My guess is 2 weeks. If it goes further than that it'll be 2nd week of January 2026 after Christmas holidays.

[gusty violet]

The loading screen is the worst Holy hell

[vestal steeple]

I want to play this game so bad 🙁 Please fix this

[teal nexus]

PS5 players, just play ARC until HLLV comes out

At least give the console community some free DLC for the hassle

[gusty violet]

But that looks normal i dont understand

[ruby geode]

It looks like the game World At War

[gusty violet]

Its hll, the graphics are always bad

[ruby geode]

Not always

[inner arrow]

My graphics have been 100 times better than that. My phone auto adjusted the sharpness. The tank is like a blur blob. Going back to the point of others here it’s hard to prove to T17 because it doesn’t show up. They need to test it themselves on console

I am glad that there seems to be a fix in the pipeline though

[gusty violet]

Would a ss work?

So I can see what you mean

[teal nexus]

It's a colossal failure that 50% of the console player base end up with an unplayable game. Maybe just turn on a PS5 before launching a massive update next time

[spark cloak]

After 25m everything is just blurs

[fallen trout]

I don't think they have a console in their team. Otherwise they'd know within a couple of hours of playing there'd be numerous issues introduced with each update.

[fallen marsh]

They literally do #mess-hall message

[teal nexus]

[fallen marsh]

?

[teal nexus]

It's just a deflection. It's obvious Team17 use the playerbase as their QA

If they are running PS5 development machines, maybe the outcome can be totally different from the real world

[fallen marsh]

Yesn't. I wouldn't say you're completely wrong, but I also think Ben's telling the truth there. That their internal testers on consoles simply didn't encounter this issue.

[teal nexus]

Ehh, it's a massive failure to release something this way. If the code just does whatever, just keep the game the way it was 5 updates ago

[fallen marsh]

Eh, I'm in favour of developing the game if T17 is willing to fund that. Unfortunately, fixing the code would probably take years, so eh.

[onyx loom]

I am literally on a plane right now testing hell let loose.

Its easy to just say things isn’t it.

Like i was saying, if they couldn’t actually see the issue in the first place until it went live, then when they fix it they likely won’t be able to see if they actually fixed it until after it went live… logic was proven 100 percent correct…

[fallen marsh]

Probably, but this is actually embarassing now 😄

[tranquil stag]

just now?

[fallen trout]

It still looks like 480p to me. Even the character select screen is so soft now. Wtf is wrong with the game?

[remote mica]

WTF is the hoxfix

Nothing fixed

[orchid root]

Noooo don’t tell me they ruined the Xbox version, we were fine 😫

[fallen marsh]

Before it also was embarassing, but could be somewhat excused. If the hotfix would've fixed the criticised issue but introduced new issues, that also would've been excusable given how random UE4 can be. But releasing a hotfix that fails at literally its only purpose is actually embarassing, yes.

[fallen marsh]

WAIT. Are you telling me that PS was broken and the hotfix didn't fix PS, but instead also broke Xbox?

[orchid root]

I have to try and see with my own eyes but I swear I will uninstall if that’s worse than before the "hotfix"

[unkempt sail]

I have zero clue how they managed to completely botch visual quality of the game in the first place. How does that happen? And now they have zero clue what caused it?

[unkempt sail]

I'm pretty sure it still looks fine on Xbox graphics wise but they significantly decreased the distance at which pop in occurs. In the game where gunfights happen at long range - this is also a pretty big new issue 😄

[fallen marsh]

@spice wyvern Can you comment on that? Has it gotten worse on Xbox?

[tranquil stag]

@spice wyvern Elise really wants to know if it got worse for xbox. She might be buying the game if it is fine

[fallen marsh]

True, but I'd have to buy an Xbox first 🤔

[spice wyvern]

No graphics are still fine on Xbox but rendering does seem poor for objects/buildings in the distance

[fallen marsh]

Copy that, thanks for elaborating.

[tranquil stag]

and now?

what is the course of action now?

[fallen marsh]

Now I'll buy an Xbox.

[tranquil stag]

why?

[fallen marsh]

Because the graphics are fine there.

[spice wyvern]

Just own both like me so when they mess up one you can still play on the other 😂😂

U19 hotfix is an elaborate plan to sell more Xbox and Playstations 😄

[green sleet]

It’s over for this game

[pure merlin]

@trim fractal ^

[grim junco]

Disappointment after disappointment. Was really looking forward to playing a good functioning game again after the hotfix

[marsh wyvern]

😂😂😂😂 Temu company

[fallen trout]

I honestly don't know what they think they've fixed 😂

[brittle zinc]

They didnt test it that's for sure. I think they just test it on PC and thinks it'll work on console. Unless theres some settings we're not using in order to make it clearer. Just want the old graphics from BM back.

It’s over 😔

[teal nexus]

Ehh, I knew this was going to happen.

Try to keep your comp stuff going and encourage new players to hang around.

My proposal - revert HLL back to either Update 12 or 14 for some solid fun!

[brittle zinc]

Yeah honestly, early 2022 or 2023 was fun. Better graphics from what i remember too. They've dumbed them down over time havent they?

[ruby geode]

So... The patch didn't work for ps5?

[azure nymph]

It still seems off

[pure merlin]

It’s becoming a real concern that console issues continue to go unanswered or overlooked. A huge part of the player base—especially those who play competitively—has been left dealing with four consecutive updates that simply haven’t hit the mark.

Here are the major issues we’re facing:
1. Severe rendering problems, with objects failing to load properly anywhere from 30 to 200 meters (videos attached).
2. Camera/hand shake that makes aiming and gameplay uncomfortable.
3. Grainy textures and downgraded visuals on every map, which is unacceptable for a game that previously looked far better.
4. Lag and stuttering, especially on the new map that was heavily promoted, making it nearly unplayable in competitive environments.

Not everyone can go out and buy a $4000 PC just to play Hell Let Loose. Console players deserve stability and performance, not constant setbacks from updates that break what was already working.

Please revert whatever was changed during the artillery update and bring console performance back to the standard it had before. The current state simply isn’t good enough.

[crisp pine]

I'm glad they finally leveled the playing field for us senior citizens

[onyx loom]

If they realised a stable version for comps to run on every 6 months for a small subscription fee they would actually make money from the dedicated comp scene, instead they ignore the community keeping there game alive with full servers…

[pure merlin]

@trim fractal ^

[rough wren]

T17 - just buy one ps5, and try to play right now.

You donT need a community to see the issue. Trust me

[crisp pine]

Its fine if you dont move and just zoom onto one pixel. Thats the weird part though is it does clear up in game, when aiming down the sights and not moving but outside of that still the same.

[onyx loom]

There has been an increase in guys lying down in bushes

[rough wren]

It looks the same — the same awful quality. There’s definitely something wrong with the rendering, LOD, or other technical aspects. I’m just a player who paid for this game, two servers, and other things so I could play it competitively. Usually, updates bring good changes, fixes, improvements. But as most of us know, when it comes to T17, every update comes with problems — whether it’s the game itself, the servers, or the RCON. They can’t release a single update that’s fully prepared and trouble-free from start to finish.

How can you release a hotfix that fixes nothing, despite all the feedback from the community? So many reports, explanations of what’s happening — and all of it for nothing. It’s terrifying how they can neglect their own project, their consumers, and everyone around it. I can’t believe that T17 devs can’t afford to test the game on PC, Xbox, PS5 — yet it looks like nothing they release is tested. Unfortunately.

The entire HLL community was waiting for this hotfix, for clan matches, leagues, etc. Right now we have a game from the PS1 era in the year 2025. This isn’t funny anymore — it’s just sad. People spend money on the game, servers, and their own time organizing events, leagues, international matches. And what do we get in return? You can answer that yourselves.

Maybe T17 should ask Battlefield how they do it?
No words..

Has there been any announcement (or mention) on what the issue is or might be for PS5?

[teal nexus]

Troubleshooting steps that may address PS graphical issues

Restart the console: A full power cycle can clear temporary data (RAM) and resolve many glitches.

• Turn off your PlayStation console completely
• Disconnect the power cable for at least 20 minutes
• Reconnect the power cable and turn the console back on

Adjust in-game or system video settings: Issues like washed-out colors or brightness problems might be related to HDR or VRR settings

• Go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output on your PS5 and try adjusting resolution or turning off/on HDR and VRR to see if the issue improves

Reinstall the game: Corrupted game data or save files can cause graphical instability

• Reinstalling the game can ensure all files are installed correctly, though this is a last resort due to download times

[fallen trout]

It looks like they dropped the resolution and used some awful switch style fsr upscaling to me. We've got jaggies and shimmering everywhere. And now the barracks/classes character screen looks like a 720p render.
It looks awful.

[junior lance]

Does the game even work on Xbox series S right now?

[royal drift]

Does this work for anyone? Before reinstalling everything

[snow hawk]

Nothing to do with your Hardware, this is purly the code …. The game code is broken, always has been, there trying to build on a bad foundation again and again and wondering why they get the same results every time.

[teal nexus]

I tried and it didn't work. Uninstalling game again I guess

[teal nexus]

Xbox will be fine 😁

[onyx loom]

Series s looks as bad as ps… even before the updates.

[junior lance]

As much as it warms my soul the fact that PS5 players now suffer like I suffered on series S, fix your damn game

[soft iris]

If they don't bother to fix this then there's no way ill be buying Vietnam

[half wadi]

Perfect ! Hotfix didn’t fix anything on PS5. They broke my favorite game on PC and PS5 ! I will must go back on PC

Temporary PS5 Graphical Blur Fix

This fix may help our competitive players get through their matches until the game is actually fixed

• If you strafe and run at the same time so you're running at an angle, it actually is reasonably clear temporarily

@trim fractal What’s the verdict on this?

[rocky spade]

Back from the grave to say this

Would be interested to know if any correlation between types of PS5 and the issue.

I’m having the problem on first gen fat PS5, but I’ve had someone on a newer PS5 slim say they aren’t aware of issue.

[spice wyvern]

Fake news, I’m on the PS5 pro and it’s just as bad unfortunately. The only fix for me is using my Xbox 😂

[teal nexus]

Is it a trusted source saying this from their PS5 slim? Video footage?

There has been a report that the PS5 Slim console isn't affected (or has a significantly reduction of blurred graphics). Can we get some video footage from this console please?

[frank pendant]

I’m on a 1yo slim disc and it’s plenty blurry

[onyx loom]

Ive recently lost 5kg but im still not slim enough, still blurry

So now they are saying they have identified the issue and will have a fix asap. 😂

[ember zealot]

Any update on this an a potential fix timeline?

#telegrams message

Hotfix did nothing to fix PS5 graphics

[grim junco]

How is the hotfix?

[hot cliff]

Looking better so far

[unkempt sail]

Hotfix finally worked, looks the same as before U19

[brittle zinc]

That’s good

[inner arrow]

I want to say thank you for finally fixing this. I know there’s been a lot of complaint to a specific mod but rightly so half the console community have been disadvantaged and emotionally disconnected from the game.

I played a game today- a small bit laggy and my brightness levels reset (now I have to have them lower than I did before) but can say that the fix for me on the PS5 works pretty perfect and the game doesn’t give me a headache!
