FFXIV. And there's not even visual upgrades with the PS5 version, they just somehow screwed up the port to where there's random frame drops that the PS4 version doesn't have.
That is my thinking too, but it seems actually preferable to this. At least it would be more 'consistent'
Gotcha. Thanks. I am going Performance mode exclusively. I have Freesync on my monitor, so I will be able to take advantage of a VRR implementation.
I think I'm going with XSX here, mostly so that I can use my Elite Series 2 controller. My basement TV, which is larger, doesn't have VRR so if the performance really detracts from the experience, I'll play using my living room TV that does have VRR.
Series X with VRR according to John from Digital Foundry, though he said there are caveats for all platforms.
If it's too much hassle to swap, I'd just stick with PS5.
I wish there was a 30 cap option on consoles. I'd take that in a second.
I wonder if capping PC to 30 or 60 would help with the issues mentioned?? Probably not as it sounds like the game streaming in assets is causing the issues.
Bummer that there is no option anywhere to get the game to run smooth.

That's entirely up to you and your situation. For me, I have both consoles and a VRR set. SX is a no brainer for me, but I'm not playing with friends or sharing consoles etc. Your situation maybe different, but if not, I'd seriously consider SX+VRR.
As far as I understand, there are solutions to this problem that would not be ultra hard to implement but the team has to know about them and has to have the time and manpower to implement them. It's a change in workflow that not everyone has adapted to yet. Something like Steam Shader Chache would have been a solution, but I'm not sure if it works with DX12 or if it's only Vulcan.
Guess I'll go with Series X then, since my TV supports VRR (and hopefully Quick Resume works well with the game).
<.< >.> *Whispers* go ahead, take a trip to New Zealand the weather is fine.
Welp, I've already got the PC version, so we will see how bad the stuttering is tonight when the game unlocks at 6 pm EST. If it's really that bad, I'll switch to PS5. I had 0 framerate complaints about the network test.
Of course it's a nonsense argument, I was attempting to say the same in the shitshow that the HFW review thread became.
We put up a review in progress and mentioned the technical issues, and our reviewer's basically said that there's no way the issues *can't* impact on a score at this point, it's just not stable
Makes me glad I'm holding off on buying this because of backlog. Give them time to iron out these performance details.
Besides, I'll hold myself over by playing another FROM game for the first time, Sekiro.

Someone posted that it is one way. You could start on PS4 and move up to PS5 but you can't move back down after.
Unfortunately no :(
But if it's any solace it's looked fine on my 60/120hz projector lol. So I can only imagine VRR users are going to be in for a real treat.
The load times and frame pacing issues were one of the most consistently agreed upon issues with blood borne,
Now I'm at an impasse. I was going to buy a LG 2 series this year when they came out, need to upgrade my old cheap college TV.
But now I'm not sure if I Slshould go buy a LG C1/G1 today/tomorrow to experience the game with VRR? I was thinking of holding out for the C2/G2 whenever they release this year, but then I wouldn't have VRR til then. Hmmmmm

I'm taking the dive on PC once it launches immediately. I'll update with performance. I'm no DF, but I can certainly tell when stuff is up. I've got a couple of other lower power systems I may be able to run it on later as well, compared to my main rig which is a 5800x and a 3080Ti. This sounds like, for PC at least, shader compilation issues if this is happening whenever new environments/enemies/spells are loading in. Hopefully, they can provide an option to precompile everything. important to note that I had no issues with Sekiro on launch, or any other From game on PC, nor did I have issues with Halo Infinite once that properly launched and wasn't in it's test flight state. This will likely vary for a lot of people. Hopefully they can patch up whatever issues, both on consoles and on PC.
This. Sad situation really.
So basically PS5 runs better (if marginally), but X1X can alleviate the issue with VRR (resulting in an admittedly better experience ... if you have a compatible display).
Gosh.
It didn't this time but it does all the time. In fact we just had 2 games with scores affected by perfomance issues with Dying Light 2 and Horizon FW.
So that means in the xbox's display settings right? I only use my xbox for gamepass games .
Not worth it just for VRR, doubt it'll be a huge difference worth you playing on a slightly worse display for however long you keep the tv. Even if you are extremely sensitive to fps fluctuations thats a big sacrifice.
Kinda wonder if the promise of a Day 1 patch pushed the performance issues to the side in folks minds?
Yea PS4 on PS5 unless you have VRR display, then it's Xbox Series X
*takes a hit from the copium bong*
I've watched multiple streams of the PS5 version of both the network test and the final game and most people are saying the game runs great in mostly 60fps. Watching them the pop-in annoyed me more than the small FPS drops to be honest. Will probably stick with the PS5 version for the denser grass.

Do we know what the new features are going to be for C2/G2, cause it really depends on that. C1 is a great machine but what a shame it would be to miss out on a big feature just for VRR now.
Out of interest do we have any point of reference for the load times?
I've got a decent PC and my TV has VRR.
Would it be a good idea to play on PC be XSX? As in will VRR help the issues on PC?
I finally got my new video card after a 2 year wait and was excited to play it there. Unfortunately stutter drives me more insane than just about anything in a game. I'm worried they all are going to stutter to a degree regardless of VRR, PC specs etc :/

Sekiro never got fixed on PS4 Pro, you need a PS5 to play it at a locked 60 fps.
Which means you will need a PS5 Pro to play Elden Ring PS5 version at 60 fps.
I have ZERO hope that FromSoftware will fix any of these performance issues on console in a patch, they just don't give a flying fuck.
Just chill, lol
Idk what TV you have but you shouldn't upgrade just for VRR
Yeah, I'm sticking to my Series X pre-order for now. Appreciate DF for this PSA thanks Dictator
BTW, weird aside I know, but is there any benefit to using the Elite 2 controller for this genre of games?
EDIT:
What does this mean for Quality mode? Quality + VRR will have streaking? No, right? I'm thinking Quality + VRR.
Thanks a lot. Yeah, mine does VRR, so should be better, I guess. LOL, what a situation...
