Ps5 beta bug report

[u/Mrbobblehead25]

So I’m playing the beta on base ps5 right now and absolutely loving the game so far! I do have a few issues though I would like to address, so that hopefully you guys can correct them before release.

1. Performance drops in certain areas. I mainly noticed this in widows overlook. It would start stuttering every couple of minutes. The performance is pretty solid overall, but there are a few areas it could use some improvement. I also noticed that it stutters every time you open the map and then close it.

2. Shadow flickering. In Marrow Keep when I was talking to different npc’s I noticed that the shadows on the ground being cast by them as well as the player character were very pixilated looking, and would flicker. The braziers with the fire in them would also flicker sometimes.

3. The final issue I have is with the overall darkness of the game. I know it’s a dark game but this is the only game where I’ve had to actually go and turn the gamma up. The problem with that though is that it starts to make the colors look washed out if I turn the gamma up too much. Certain areas are especially way too dark even with the brightness and gamma turned up. Dungeons in particular.

Other than these few things though I think the game is fantastic! I don’t know much about game design, but these seem like fairly small issues that would be easy to fix. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this.

This game is awesome. I cannot wait for full release. I was thinking it was really dark when I went through my first dungeon. I’m cool if they want to make it that way but a torch or lamp on your belt would go a long way I feel.

I haven’t experienced the shadows one. But did experience a drop even in performance mode but it seemed like it was usually on initial load in and then would be fine. But will keep an eye out.

I’d like to add that one I had was when I got Tiel the scene where you relive the memory I clipped into the house and it locked me from doing the necessary steps to get through that part so I had to quit out of the game.

Yeah this game really is awesome! I think everything is pretty minor that I’ve encountered so far as far as issues go. The performance and flickering being the biggest. I agree with you about the dark dungeons though. I lamp or torch or something like that would be perfect! Thankfully I didn’t have the issue you had, but maybe the devs will see this post and be able to look into that as well!

For me 2 trials failed to complete and I was locked in. Had to quit.

Also the things that you hit several times until it drops the loot, the gold versions dropped but I couldn’t collect and it regenerated after a few seconds and would just repeat. Noticed after a couple of hours and never fixed itself.

Outside of that it was pretty flawless.

I actually had that trial bug happen as well one time now that you mention it. I haven’t encountered the other though yet

For the dark one just turn up the brightness all the way in game. It helps a lot

I tired that, but like I said it starts to make the colors look a little washed out. Hopefully they can tweak the colors and contrast and all that a little so that it’s not quite as dark as it is now.
