PS5 PRO Atrocious FPS and performance

As the months have gone by I have patiently waited for some type of significant update in regards to the console performance, but now i cant wait any longer without speaking my piece.

The last stream during the reveal of the third edict league, Johnathan himself stated there was a rewrite to the engine and consoles especially would benefit from the performance increase, i will link a video in regards to this at the end of my post and how my experience is with endgame.

The questions I want answered are as follows:

1. Does your console team consist of 2 people and do they test performance based on a solo self found experience with 5 mobs on the screen during the campaign?

2. Why do you not reduce the particle effects which will reduce the cpu load? (Microtransactions)

3. If Johnathan himself states it really bothers him when players think that he won't fix certain issues, how can this not be the case when there is a 50 page forum on how fps is atrocious on console, and the only response is "we are looking at all platforms"

4. Why is my game screen tearing even with barely any mobs on the screen when playing with others? No sync?


It's time for an official response in regards to consoles and how terrible the performance is especially in endgame. The load times and sound issues have already been talked about before.

Here is a link to my experience on ps5 pro

Impossible play in ps5 pro, i tried all possible settings. Please GGG , fix this

Thanks for the post, I've been a silent player for a long time and I feel bit cheated with GGG right now on console.

I genuinely thought GGG would fix things eventually but, hiding behind early access is not going to cut it anymore.

I am no game dev nor coder, nor have any specialized knowledge in ports and optimization. But you have paid consumers getting shorted. I can handle FPS drops here and there but when the current state of the game is unplayable, it is a whole different issue.

The endgame is just unplayable, pure and simple. You can't have a game that is constantly on 10~15 FPS interacting with any meaningful endgame content.

It was already bad before, but now the game starts to become unplayable from the 4th act. Constant fps drops, sound bugs, game pauses... the worst thing about all this is that I'm a huge fan of Poe 2 and I don't think I've spent so much money on any other game but what's happening just makes me sad

please GGG give some more love to the huge console fan base

It’s awful.

It feels like a bait and switch that I paid $30 for in addition to the money for tabs etc

The game is genuinely unplayable past maybe t10 maps. I can manage to make it through an abyss map if I get lucky, but it takes 20 minutes due to the less than 10 FPS. And it doesn’t matter what settings we use- it doesn’t help at all.

Really disappointing, and you can’t tell me they didn’t know this was the state of it. I’d have rather they pushed console back.

simply having the bodies become invis after a few seconds of death would fix this.

sadly that has a negative impact on specter builds tho

I think GGG need to Emergency Fix this.

If u go on a Abyss map, even if u cant see any monsters, the game starts stuttering with 5 - 15FPS.
And when u get near Abyss the Game Pause party starts with 10 Sec freezes.

This is really not accaptable , because Abyss is on every map and the main feature of this Leauge.

I have both PS5 and PS5 Pro. Performance issues are the same. Network spikes like hell. FPS down to like 10. Anything with density like breach or abyss is unplayable.

At least they fixed this sound issue because I was afraid it would ruin my sound system.
