PlayStation 4 users can you confirm major lag issues?

RedRoomGaming · July 2023

Last update everything was so smooth, before necrom. Smooth. Update 35 everything took 5 mins min to load into something. I could be doing a random dungeon and they’ve finished before I’d even loaded in. That’s just one example.

You know the invisible npcs, invisible towns, buildings with nothing but you floating. That was all gone before this last update and now it’s back.

Sometimes I’d prefer to switch characters if they’re in a zone I want to go to purely because it’s quicker

Nah, ps4 is always laggy and slomo load.
Ps5, now thats better.
Only lag I got was in necrom update, fix now.

We’ve just been in our dawnbringer prog, although I’m on a ps5 and I assume others in the group are two.

The lag and desync was aweful.

Sadly ended up with a 32/36 run because of it too.

There's always a lag around, with or without events going on.
I still notice quite often a difference between the time I press a button and the time the attack takes place. This only gets worse around the hours when there's more players connected. Specially on weekend days. I'm pretty sure I was over +300/400ms yesterday on PS EU (the closest server to my location, +-2200 KM) when the "normal" latency value for me is around 100ms.

Sadly we don't have the /latency command on consoles to check the latency.

Unfortunately I’m a poor boy living thy poor life. When I get a ps5 I hope it’s better and I really really hope they don’t forget ps4 and Xbox ones

I mean like it was perfect. I never really had a problem except loading into a loaded zone with an event. Otherwise it was fast. Now it’s back to invisible items and npcs it’s a bummer

If you are talking about yesterday the lag was pretty bad. I was killing some NPC's for items to launder to get my ledgerman up and agroed a guard. several times instead of just being able to get away like normal I just died quickly, I assumed it was lag as that never happens. Of course lost all my stolen items and 10k in gold sigh. After the third time I just quit for the night.

I have to watch my skill bar to see if the skill I was trying to use actually fired. Bar swap and ultimate need at least 2-3 activations before they actually work. Fun when trying to heal a vet trial.

No this is every day unfortunately, although that reminds me I need to level that

Dsync on PS4 is really bad. Audio is a good second or two behind animation.

If you've not done so, we recommend the connection troubleshooting linked below as a starting point for fixing these latency and disconnections.
