PS5 Game Performance is just awful and unplayable

Guys, thanks for commenting on my thread.
Really, the situation with couch-coop is really bad, when I've tested solo - it was more o less fine. But couch coop (end of A2, A3, ToS etc) is almost unplayable. It's very sad, because the game was bought to be played 100% time in Coop with my wife. And now I don't know, maybe I'll play on PC... Meh, so sad.

Than I've changed graphic setting:
- upscaling mode: NIS (standard) -> FSR
- balanced -> ultra performance

after that almost always 60fps and game works absolutely fine
there is fps problem only in hub with a lot of other player

I'm using these setting as well, and seems like the problem is in couch-coop. Which is really sad, because GGG did even separate commercials about "how cool is to play couch coop". It's not cool, it's laggy as hell.

I am using the same settings and after the initial move to FSR, it was great.

Last two nights, completely different story.

Something on GGG end has changed...or maybe it is associated with updates during the window of time that I am playing?....

I doubt it though.

@GGG - please say "something" to let us know you are seeing us console players.

I play in balanced PSSR on the Pro and the performance before yesterdays patch in Act 3 was awful.
Now, after yesterdays patch, the performance in any stage is affected by low fps. The PC realm runs without this new performance issue.

Hm, seems like something may be broke within patching, @GGG, please comment.

And I have this problem. Unstable fps. The hubs are the worst. I tried different graphics settings. But the problem is not completely solved. I really want to hear from GGG that they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

Im playing couch-coop with my wife as well and have no such problems,
anyway - keep in mind that is not a release, it is an early access ...there is ~50% of the game

GGG definitely will improve overall quality and performance

I'm having a similar issue, and I've seen some others have it too, but not everyone. Seems like I narrowed it down a bit. Symptoms: grainy graphics, low fps, 100% cpu usage in game display settings performance meter, around 50% or less gpu usage.

Seems like on some ps5's, the cpu is trying to do most of the work instead of the gpu. I confirmed this by looking at a screenshot of a ps5 user without these issues. They are getting Getting 80-110+ fps, and cpu is at about 60%, and gpu is near 100%.

I don't know how to fix this, I'm gonna try clearing cashe and reinstall.

For those who play on consoles you don't have a fps drop during your fights or there are a lot of monsters? Because of that I can't succeed in the trials of chaos, it's unplayable for me, how did you adjust your graphic settings?

Trial of chaos is totally unplayable, its dropping probably to ~20 FPS on PS5. Similar situation is with outside areas on act3. Comfortably playable are only closed locations like f.e. molten core. Everywhere where is grass/water or some effects it's performance is dropping hugely.

Also, when playing sorc with spark + fire effects (basically all elemental effects), fps are dropping tremendously.

Of course i understand it's EA but i can't even imagine how to play endgame if finishing campaign is so demanding regarding performance.
