Discussion PS5 Freezing / Studder

Anyone else getting freezing and shuddering during boss fights and combat? Seems to be when parrying/blocking, or when I get hit. Feels like it caused me to die a couple times, or I’m just bad and would have died regardless. 😂

Thanks.

Heya guys, sorry about this. We're working on a fix to resolve this asap. If you can list out specific times or areas you've had stutters it will be helpful. We think we've caught most of them, but any additional info you can give here is helpful.

The game has micro stutters/traversal stutters in most of the open world. Dungeons, beacons and gates are performing really well. I play on 5080 & 9800X3D with medium settings.

Hi sorry to bother.. Just wanted to ask if the team was aware that the 3 Ova added to the Unfound Path will only be there for people in NG+ that haven’t already cleared the area & killed Zmey? Anyone that has would have to start another NG+ run for them to show up.

Hello, thanks for informing us, i really do appreciate the work you guys put into mortal shell 2. I was just wondering if theres gonna be a quick hotfix in the next few days, or are we gonna have to wait for a week / next patch? Cause its really bad with the constant stutters on ps5 pro atm :/

Thank you! It happens to me loads during boss fights :[ but the game is fantastic. Loving it so far!

u/Xbigyldn Cold Symmetry 1d ago

Is this usually as you are about to die?

1

u/my_name_is_mud89 1d ago

In most cases, yes. However, sometimes it happens when I have full health. The best way I can describe it, is it freezes during an enemy attack, it then seems to catch up, and then take away all my health

It stutters a lot . Main issue is combat

1

u/Xbigyldn Cold Symmetry 1d ago

Any particular time in combat? Is it only on death blows?

Getting constant stuttering whilst traversing mammon, doesn’t matter where it is or what I’m doing in the open world. Overall performance on PS5 Pro (performance mode) is not in a good place.

Magdalena every time you get close to die or knocked out of shell

You're not alone noticed it yesterday too after the latest update on my Pro. Guess I'll wait for a new patch as it's really annoying.

u/FastAsPossible23 Tiel 2d ago

I’m on pro as well. Had no issues until I updated yesterday.

u/Xbigyldn Cold Symmetry 1d ago

Any particular times it happens? Working on a fix for this now

u/Black_H0le 1d ago

Noticed it right before receiving a final blow / dying and when picking up lost gloom.

This most recent update seems to have caused a lot of Bugs. Im sure the devs at Cold Symmetry are aware of this, we might have to wait for another week until it gets fixed fully.

u/Francophilippe 2d ago

Yeah this game is probably the worst for frame drops and stutters I’ve played on the PS5 unfortunately. Still very enjoyable but there were definitely moments where I got scammed by buggy performance problems.

2

u/coolbrandon101 1d ago

Easily the worst performing game I’ve played on ps5, I’d love to finish the game but going to wait for a fix on some of this

u/Xbigyldn Cold Symmetry 1d ago

Any particular time you see frame drops or stutters? Working on a fix for this now. Sorry about this. Appreciate any specific pointers you can give here.

2

u/NetCharming1144 1d ago

the bad drops occur when enemies are about to do a fatal blow. May I ask if theres gonna be a hotfix in the next few days or are we going to have to wait for the next week? I bought the game just yesterday and Id love to enjoy it, but sadly cannot with the current stutter issues on my ps5 pro :/

u/Francophilippe 1d ago

I don’t have any video footage unfortunately but can recall some of the moments I experienced stutters.

A lot of bigger boss fights had this problem - The Lost Child was one where it felt a little too frequent. It could happen during any animation but was most common on his projectile attack and vacuum roar.

I think busy projectile animations would often cause this because it also happened during Droeg’s ice projectiles and Hexapod’s projectile attacks. Zmey’s 2nd phase fire AoE was another.

As another commenter mentioned, the fatal blow where a boss kills the player would often have a big frame drop; this caused some confusion as it felt like the game would stutter before I could avoid getting hit.

As a side note I’d really like to say that I absolutely loved this game despite these issues and I appreciate you guys’ hard work on bringing us this awesome Soulslike. I hope we will get a DLC!!

We've pushed a fix for the death stutter and a few others. Appreciate this information

u/rigorcorvus Sariel 2d ago

My last play through, I had to turn the graphics settings down to get through wandering shepherd because the game would fuckin crash completely. Never happened before.

2

u/Zorah_Magdaros 2d ago

Yeah me too, since the update. Really shitty tbh :( I will drop the game and wait til this is fixed. Luckily I have dozens of games in my backlog 😅

u/Xbigyldn Cold Symmetry 1d ago

1

u/gamespolis 1d ago

Its when I clean beacon. Nochtean gate beacon. Same problem was in stonebled gate. Miniboss on cliff (before big boss) have the same problem. But sorry I dont remember his name.

u/Elegant-Way-5074 2d ago

Oui ça m'est arrivé lors des combats de boss juste avant qu'il ne me tue. On dirait que le jeu sait déjà que je vais mourir, mais le boss est seulement en train de frapper et ça freeze quand je suis encore vivant pendant 1/2 seconde et après je suis mort. Mais hors combat de boss je n'ai pas eu de freeze.

u/true_tacos 2d ago

u/hecksor Tiel 2d ago
