Me and my girlfriend are enjoying this game a lot. We first played it on the Steamdeck in coop mode (this is possible with a start command). We were able to play it with 720p and minimum graphics in splitscreen for about 25h without any big issues. There have been some crashes but the gameplay overall was very smooth.
When we learned that BG3 will have a cross save for the PS5 we were happy to continue our game on the PS5. On September 4th we immediately started the game once we were able to and tried to continue our journey. Right after the start we noticed that the game is freezing constantly when we tried to change the charracter. The combat is even worse.
I thought it might had something to do with my M2-SSD that I have installed to my PS5 and installed the game on. But after transferring the game onto the internal PS5 SSD there was no change.
Because we have seen the amazing graphics and effects on PS5 we couldn't get back to our mushy graphics on Steamdeck anymore. So I placed my gaming PC into our living room on our dining table. The last week we played at this spot and it is quite annoying that we are not able to play the game on the PS5.
In Germany the early access version (Digital Deluxe) costs 80€ what is a lot if you already spend 50€ for the PC version.
Today is the official release for the PS5 - are there any news from Larian regarding a new patch? Is there any recognition for the bad split screen performance on PS5 at all?
