HOLD Input on PS5 takes longer after patch

EpicHero · September 2021

My wife and I both noticed that we now have to hold the square button just a little longer to deconstruct more then 1 item, and the touchpad just a little longer to bring up the horse.

We have been playing for a while, and this time differences is big enough that it totally ruins our input from muscle memory.
Aka when we hold square or the touchpad like we used to, and release, now nothing happens when deconstructing, and the map comes up instead of your horse.

Therefor this is a very annoying change, and we are wondering if this was done on purpose, or if something else got broken on PS5?

Same happens when you try to target lock pressing R3, I found myself crouching alot instead

I had someone in 1 of my guilds mention this was happening to them and a friend. I had no issues but I play in Performance Mode and have HDR set to Vibrant. I tested changing to Fidelity mode to see if I could replicate the issue. I did notice a longer time to call mount but I didn't get the map screen instead.

I suggest changing to Performance mode to see if that fixes it. GL!

I play in performance mode with vibrant HDR, so that's not it unfortunately...

Hmm that is odd then, I wonder what else it is we have different then that could be the cause....

I've noticed this too and it's really annoying.

Response times in general seem a bit off this patch - turning in writs will cancel out half the time if I go at the same speed as previously, and harvesting nodes near mobs will lead to them attacking before you can get away every time, because of an extra second or 2 spend just standing there after pressing X

Also mounting and opening doors takes longer. You really got to press those buttons long and hard.

Not just square.

When I get the prompt to enter battlegrounds or dungeons, you could basically just tap options and quickly move the wheel over to accept.
Now you have to hold it a few seconds before it registers.
Very annoying

Edit: I'm on ps4, btw...so not strictly just a PlayStation 5 issue

I suspect it's more likely to be round-trip lag. In quite areas/zones I find I can often mount as quickly as before.

Maybe opening doors, mounting, etc. requires the client to phone home before proceeding. If the server is busy, the client can't move forward until it gets the ok. Just a guess though.

On the flip side, it seems as if my map pops up when I barely touch the touchpad. This was rather annoying when I was farming for a gold lead in Shadowfen last night.

Same behavior with the Xbox controller. Calling horse/showing map now has a different input timing for holding this button.

Feljax · September 2021

Seeing the same thing here on both my PS4 and PS5. Calling the horse is the most noticeable for me.

Got pulled out of stealth half a dozen times on my Heist and Sacrament today because of this. And I keep opening the map instead of mounting. Ugh.
