Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems PS5 after hotfix#8

Can anyone verify if they are experiencing this or not? I think the update (hotfox 8) has made several things worse on PS5. Game seems to run worse overall

Ps5 render times have become pretty bad since hotfox#8 I'm currently in act 2, often times you'll be walking and seeing the floor loading, or speaking with an npc for a FEW seconds before textures fully load its quite immersion breaking now sadly.

Prior to the update you would see the textures load in sometimes but it was really really quick.

Adding to this, combat now has intermittent delay between when you attack and when the attacking animation occurs, often times you'll hear the attack go off and after a second you'll see your character actually attack. Wasn't doing this prior to update.

It was like that before and it gets worse the more you play. Wait until you get to act 3. The city won't even load. Cutscenes look like an impressionist painting. Characters faces, amor and hair lose all rendering.

I’m also on ps5 and I’ve noticed the exact same thing!
Performance seems to be dropping significantly with every update.

Heck, I even get frame drops just walking into an empty Grove now.

I'm hoping they notice this issue for PS5 It makes me wish I didn't do the update.

I'm in act 2 and prior to the update things were still loading pretty quickly for me, I was in the tower with all the npcs and crowds around. LVery next day loading up the game with the new update I notice the huge delay with rendering and combat lag.

Thanks for confirming I'm not the only one though

I have the same issue, but only in act 2 and 3. Seriously, you're talking to a companion or a npc and their facial textures are blurry and their hairstyles are blurry too.

I've been having this issue before the hot fixes and it does get worse unfortunately. I like to take a lot of screenshots but they all look bad because of the unloaded/blurry textures.
